- 14. Microelectron. Reliability 46, 1 (2006) , “NBTI degradation: From physical mechanisms to modelling”,An overview of the evolution of transistor parameters under negative bias temperature instability stress conditions commonly observed in p-MOSFETs in recent technologies is presented. The physical mechanisms of the degradation as well as the different defects involved have been discussed according to a systematic set of experiments with different stress conditions. According to our findings, a physical model is proposed which could be used to more accurately predict the transistor degradation. Finally, based on our new present understanding, a new characterization methodology is proposed, which would open the way to a more accurate determination of parameter shifts and thus allowing implementing the degradation into design rules.

Reliability 45, 71 (2005) , “A comprehensive model of PMOS NBTI degradation ”,Negative bias temperature instability has become an important reliability concern for ultra-scaled Silicon IC technology with significant implications for both analog and digital circuit design. In this paper, we construct a comprehensive model for NBTI phenomena within the framework of the standard reaction–diffusion model. We demonstrate how to solve the reaction–diffusion equations in a way that emphasizes the physical aspects of the degradation process and allows easy generalization of the existing work. We also augment this basic reaction–diffusion model by including the temperature and field-dependence of the NBTI phenomena so that reliability projections can be made under arbitrary circuit operating conditions.

- 22. Microelectron. Reliability 45, 57 (2005) , “Characterization of interface defects related to negative-bias temperature instability SiON/Si<100> systems ”,Interface defects related to negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) in an ultrathin plasma-nitrided SiON/ Si<100> system were characterized by using conductance–frequency measurements, electron-spin resonance measure- ments, and synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was confirmed that NBTI is reduced by using D2-annealing instead of the usual H2-annealing. Interfacial Si dangling bonds (Pb1 and Pb0 centers) were detected in a sample subjected to negative-bias temperature stress (NBTS). Although we suggest that NBTS also generates non-Pb defects, it does not seem to generate nitrogen dangling bonds. These results show that NBTI of the plasma-nitrided SiON/Si system is predominantly due to Pb depassivation. Plasma nitridation was also found to increase the Pb1/Pb0 density ratio, modify the Pb1 defect structure, and increase the latent interface trap density by generating Si suboxides at the interface. These changes are likely to be the causes of NBTI in ultrathin plasma-nitrided SiON/Si systems. (Read more)
- 23. Phys. Rev. B 72, 045219 (2005) , “Fluorine in Si: Native-defect complexes and the supression of impurity diffusion”, Giorgia M. Lopez, Vincenzo Fiorentini, Giuliana Impellizzeri, Salvatore Mirabella, Enrico NapolitaniThe transient enhanced diffusion of acceptor impurities severely affects the realization of ultrahigh doping regions in miniaturized Si-based devices. Fluorine codoping has been found to suppress this transient diffusion, but the mechanism underlying this effect is not understood. It has been proposed that fluorine-impurity or fluorine–native-defect interactions may be responsible. Here we clarify this mechanism combining first-principles theoretical studies of fluorine in Si and purposely designed experiments on Si structures containing boron and fluorine. The central interaction mechanism is the preferential binding of fluorine to Si-vacancy dangling bonds and the consequent formation of vacancy-fluorine complexes. The latter effectively act as traps for the excess self-interstitials that would normally cause boron transient enhanced diffusion. Instead, fluorine-boron interactions are marginal and do not play any significant role. Our results are also consistent with other observations such as native-defect trapping and bubble formation.

We confirmed that the effective g values of the Pb1 center are affected by interfacial nitridation even at a small nitrogen concentration of 5 at. %, while those of the Pb0 center proved to be unchanged. We observed that the shifted Pb1 line appeared gradually with interfacial nitrogen concentration, which suggests that the nitrogen-induced modified structure substitutes for the original Pb1 structure. Angular variations of the shifted Pb1 lines were also significantly different from those of pure oxide. Based on our analysis, we attributed the g value shift of the Pb1 center to dangling bond tilting, caused by the displacement of nearest-neighbor Si atoms. (Read more)

A spin-dependent current was detected in metal-oxide-semiconductor diodes with chemical-vapor-deposition SiN gate films with thickness less than 3 nm. We examined the nature of the trap sites in terms of g-value, bias-dependent signal intensity, and magnetic-field orientation dependence. The main feature of the observed spectrum is attributed to a paramagnetic Si site in the SiN films. By using a quantitative model of electron spin-polarization, we were able to estimate the ratio of trap-assisted current to the total leakage current. (Read more)

Bracht.Electric-dipole spin resonance of the deep acceptor ZnS- in Si reveals close Γ8 and Γ7 ground states with zero-field separation of only 0.31 meV as compared to the 43 meV of the two valence bands. With Landé's formula for the g factors of a 2T2 state split by spin-orbit interaction into Γ8 and Γ7 this nearness can be interpreted as strong quenching of the orbital moment.

- 89. Appl. Phys. A 30, 1 (1983) , “Transition Metals in Silicon”, E. R. Weber.A review is given on the diffusion, solubility and electrical activity of 3d transition metals in silicon. Transition elements (especially, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) diffuse interstitially and stay in the interstitial site in thermal equilibrium at the diffusion temperature. The parameters of the liquidus curves are identical for the Si:Ti — Si:Ni melts, indicating comparable silicon-metal interaction for all these elements. Only Cr, Mn, and Fe could be identified in undisturbed interstitial sites after quenching, the others precipitated or formed complexes. The 3d elements can be divided into two groups according to the respective enthalpy of formation of the solid solution. The distinction can arise from different charge states of these impurities at the diffusion temperature. For the interstitial 3d atoms remaining after quenching, reliable energy levels are established from the literature and compared with recent calculations. (Read more)
