摘要

Statistical behavior of BTI-induced high-k dielectric traps in nanometer MOSFETs is characterized. We measure individual trapped charge emission times and single-trapped charge-induced V_t shifts in BTI recovery. Statistical distributions of BTI trap characteristics such as trap spatial and energy distributions and trapped charge activation energy in emission are extracted. We compare the amplitudes of BTI and RTN single-charge-induced ΔV_t. BTI-induced ΔV_t exhibits a larger amplitude distribution tail. An explanation will be given by use of 3D atomistic numerical simulation. In addition, we find that V_t degradation in BTI stress exhibits two stages. The first stage has logarithmic stress time dependence and is believed due to the charging of preexisting high-k dielectric traps. The second stage follows power-law time dependence, which is attributed to dielectric trap creation.
