Problems solved by technology

[0004] With the continuous shrinking of the size of semiconductor devices, 3D devices face many challenges, wherein the fins have poor heat dissipation performance due to the narrow structure of the fins, which causes serious self-heating effects of FinFET devices, and the heating effect seriously affects Due to the reduction of device performance and charge carrier induced lattice vibrations (charge carrier induced lattice vibrations), the heating effect increases the temperature of the device and reduces the drive current, but for FinFET devices, the self-heating effect hard to detect

Abstract

The invention relates to a self-heating measuring structure and measuring method for an FinFET device, and an electronic device. The self-heating measuring method for the FinFET device comprises a step S1 of switching off the FinFET device in order to make the grid be in an open circuit state, and measuring the resistance value R0 of thermal variable resistance layers; step S2 of switching on the FinFET device in order to make the grid be in a conduction state, and measuring the resistance value R of the thermal variable resistance layers; and a step S3 of calculating the temperature of the thermal variable resistance layers after the temperature is increased in dependence on the increase of the resistance of the thermal variable resistance layers and the resistance temperature coefficient [alpha]. In the measuring structure, virtual grids are arranged among grids, and several rows of the thermal variable resistance layers connected with the virtual grids through a heat conduction material are arranged above a grid array, heat radiated from the grids are transmitted to the thermal variable resistance layers through the virtual grids, after the temperature of the thermal variable resistance layers is changed, the resistance is changed, and detection of the self-heating condition of the FinFET device is achieved by measuring the resistance of the thermal variable resistance layers.
