摘要： A method and test circuit provide measurements to accurately characterize threshold voltage changes due to negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) and positive bias temperature instability (PBTI). Both the bias temperature instability recovery profile and/or the bias temperature shifts due to rapid repetitions of stress application can be studied. In order to provide accurate measurements when stresses are applied at intervals on the order of tens of nanoseconds while avoiding unwanted recovery, and/or to achieve recovery profile sampling resolutions in the nanosecond range, multiple delay or ring oscillator frequency measurements are made using a delay line that is formed from delay elements that have delay variation substantially caused only by NBTI or PBTI effects. Devices in the delay elements are stressed, and then the delay line/ring oscillator is operated to measure a threshold voltage change for one or more measurement periods on the order of nanoseconds.

摘要： A method and test system for fast determination of parameter variation statistics provides a mechanism for determining process variation and parameter statistics using low computing power and readily available test equipment. A test array having individually selectable devices is stimulated under computer control to select each of the devices sequentially. A test output from the array provides a current or voltage that dependent on a particular device parameter. The sequential selection of the devices produces a voltage or current waveform, characteristics of which are measured using a digital multi-meter that is interfaced to the computer. The rms value of the current or voltage at the test output is an indication of the standard deviation of the parameter variation and the DC value of the current or voltage is an indication of the mean value of the parameter.

摘要： A method and system for isolating dopant fluctuation and device length variation from statistical measurements of threshold voltage provides fast determination of process variation for devices in a characterization array. Statistics of threshold voltage are measured at two different values of drain-source voltage imposed on the devices in the characterization array. At least one moment of the a drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) coefficient η, which is a measure of device length and zero-bias threshold voltage VTH0 are computed directly from the statistical moment values of the threshold variation. The standard deviation and mean of η and VTH0 can thereby be obtained having only a statistical description of the threshold voltage for the devices in the array at multiple drain-source voltages. The threshold voltage statistics can be obtained from a digital meter measurement (rms and DC average) of a waveform indicative of threshold voltage produced by sequentially selecting the array devices.
