Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to radiation displacement damage of CMOS devices, in particular to a method for estimating the influence of displacement damage effects on the electrical characteristics of CMOS devices. Background technique
[0002] CMOS integrated circuits have followed Moore's Law for decades. The level of integration continues to increase through shrinking device dimensions. As device feature sizes shrink, device performance continues to evolve. However, the reduction in device feature size also brings various downsizing effects and reliability issues. Small size effects mainly include severe degradation of subthreshold characteristics, DIBL (drain-induced barrier reduction), and threshold voltage is very seriously related to channel length; reliability problems mainly include hot carrier effects, oxide layer over time Breakdown (TDDB) and degeneration of PN junction, etc. In order to make deep submicron devices work properly, various impr...
