Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly to a charge collection method and system. Background Art
[0002] The aerospace electronic system is a key link to ensure the smooth progress of aerospace missions. Therefore, its high-reliability and long-life operation in the space environment have become an issue of great concern in the field. There are a large number of charged particles in the space environment, such as heavy ions, protons, etc., which can induce single event effects (SEE) in electronic systems and are one of the important factors causing on-orbit failures of spacecraft. When high-energy charged particles enter a semiconductor device, a high-density electron-hole pair is generated along its incident track due to strong ionization. If the particle track passes through the sensitive volume (SV) of the device, these charges can be quickly collected by the device. When the charge collection amount caused by the incident particle is large enough to exceed the critical charge for maintaining the normal logic state of the circuit, it will cause a data bit flip, thus posing a huge threat to the reliable operation of the aerospace electronic system. Therefore, constructing an accurate single event effect charge collection model and obtaining the charge collection amount caused by various particles incident on the device are of great significance for the single event effect cross-section and on-orbit failure rate prediction of electronic devices.
[0003] Generally, the single event effect charge collection model for heavy ions incident on a device can be constructed by TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) numerical simulation method. It should be noted that TCAD numerical simulation simulates the ionization track by defining the spatio-temporal distribution of the excess carrier generation rate, and this method requires clear information such as the particle incident position, incident direction, LET value, and track length as input. However, the position of the nuclear reaction of protons in the device, the types and energies of the secondary particles generated by the nuclear reaction, and their emission directions all have great randomness. Therefore, it is impossible to directly use the TCAD numerical simulation method to construct a charge collection model suitable for proton single event effects.
[0004] In addition, a large number of studies have shown that when particles enter from different positions in the sensitive volume, the dominant charge collection mechanisms are not the same. When the particle track passes through the PN junction or is very close to the PN junction, the charge is mainly collected through the drift mechanism, while when the particle track is far from the PN junction, the charge is mainly collected through the diffusion mechanism. Different collection mechanisms lead to significant differences in the final charge collection amount. In other words, for the same amount of charge, different positions in the sensitive volume have different collection efficiencies. The traditional RPP (Rectangular Parallelepiped, abbreviated as RPP) model sets the sensitive volume as a single parallelepiped, does not consider different charge collection mechanisms spatially, and assumes that all the charges deposited by the incident particles in the sensitive volume can be collected, resulting in the single RPP model being unable to accurately describe the distribution of the sensitive area in the actual device, and thus unable to accurately give the actual charge collection amount of the sensitive node.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a charge collection method, including the following steps:
[0051] S110, obtain a semiconductor device to be tested; wherein, the semiconductor device to be tested includes: a semiconductor device with an exposed die and tested through electrical parameters;
[0052] S120. Use a heavy ion microbeam to perform point-by-point scanning on the semiconductor device to be tested, and draw a planar graph of the single event effect sensitive area according to the point-by-point scanning results. As an example, when using a heavy ion microbeam to perform point-by-point scanning on the semiconductor device to be tested in this embodiment, the point-by-point scanning area covers the entire die of the semiconductor device to be tested.

In addition, this embodiment also considers the difference in charge collection efficiency caused by different charge collection mechanisms inside the sensitive volume. By constructing a multi-sensitive volume model and assigning independent charge collection efficiencies to each sub-sensitive volume, the deficiencies of the single RPP model are made up for. That is to say, this embodiment can construct a charge collection model for single event effects induced by direct ionization of heavy ions, α particles, etc., and can also construct a charge collection model for single event effects induced by secondary particles such as protons and neutrons, so that the applicable range of the charge collection model in the embodiment is wider. Equivalently, this embodiment can provide a single event effect charge collection model, which can be used to calculate the charge collection caused by secondary particle ionization such as protons, and at the same time considers the difference in charge collection efficiency at different positions inside the sensitive volume, so that the applicable range of the charge collection model in this embodiment is wider.

As an example, in this embodiment, a longitudinally bipolar transistor device with an exposed die and passing electrical parameter tests can be used as the semiconductor device to be tested, and then it is fixed on a two-dimensional moving platform. The die is scanned point by point using a 110 MeV Cl ion microbeam, and the coordinate positions of each scanning point are recorded. The single-event transient current at each coordinate position is recorded by an oscilloscope, and the transient current is integrated with respect to time to obtain the single-event effect charge collection amount. Then, the average value of all single-event effect charge collection amounts at each coordinate position is calculated, and a planar graph of the single-event effect sensitive region is drawn based on the average value. Among them, the planar graph of the single-event effect sensitive region drawn in this embodiment is as shown in Figure 3 shown. In Figure 3 , Q100 represents the region where the charge collection amount is equal to 0 pC; Q200 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 0 pC and less than or equal to 0.25 pC; Q300 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 0.25 pC and less than or equal to 0.5 pC; Q400 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 0.5 pC and less than or equal to 0.75 pC; Q500 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 0.75 pC and less than or equal to 1 pC; Q600 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 1 pC and less than or equal to 1.25 pC; Q700 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 1.25 pC and less than or equal to 1.5 pC; Q800 represents the region where the charge collection amount is greater than 1.5 pC.

As an example, this embodiment may use a Monte Carlo particle transport simulation tool to perform heavy ion incidence multi-sensitive volume structure simulation to obtain the charge deposition amount D' in each sub-sensitive volume i , and calculate the charge collection amount Q' in each sub-sensitive volume i , where Q' i =D' i ×α' i ; then calibrate the second charge collection amount of each sub-sensitive volume according to the single event effect charge collection amount to obtain the charge collection efficiency calibration value α i ; wherein, the charge collection efficiency calibration value α i is used to calculate the first charge collection amount of the radiation particles in each sub-sensitive volume

Then, radiation particle incidence simulation is performed on the multi-sensitive volume structure model, and the first charge collection amount of the radiation particles in each sub-sensitive volume is calculated. Finally, the first charge collection amounts in each sub-sensitive volume are summed to obtain the charge collection amount of the radiation particles incident on the semiconductor device to be tested. Among them, the semiconductor device to be tested includes: a semiconductor device with an exposed die and passing electrical parameter tests; the multi-sensitive volume structure model includes n sub-sensitive volumes, where n≥1. It can be seen that this method can construct a charge collection model for single-event effects induced by direct ionization of heavy ions, α particles, etc., and can also construct a charge collection model for single-event effects induced by secondary particles such as protons and neutrons, thereby making the charge collection model in this method have a wider application range. At the same time, this method calibrates the charge collection efficiency of each sub-sensitive volume through heavy ion microbeam experimental data, greatly improving the model accuracy. In addition, this method can calculate the charge collection amount in the sub-sensitive volume through a Monte Carlo particle transport simulation tool, and only needs to set the energy and incident angle of the initial incident particles, thereby breaking through the limitations of random factors such as the position of the nuclear reaction, the type of secondary particles, and the emission direction. Moreover, this method also considers the difference in charge collection efficiency caused by different charge collection mechanisms inside the sensitive volume. By constructing a multi-sensitive volume model and assigning independent charge collection efficiencies to each sub-sensitive volume, the deficiencies of the single RPP model are made up for. It is equivalent that this method can provide a single-event effect charge collection model, which can be used to calculate the charge collection caused by the ionization of secondary particles such as protons, and at the same time considers the difference in charge collection efficiency at different positions inside the sensitive volume, thereby making the charge collection model in this method have a wider application range.

In addition, this embodiment also considers the charge collection efficiency difference caused by different charge collection mechanisms inside the sensitive volume. By constructing a multi-sensitive volume model and assigning independent charge collection efficiencies to each sub-sensitive volume, the deficiencies of the single RPP model are made up for. That is to say, this embodiment can construct a charge collection model for single event effects induced by direct ionization of heavy ions, α particles, etc., and can also construct a charge collection model for single event effects induced by secondary particles such as protons and neutrons, so that the applicable range of the charge collection model in this embodiment is wider. This embodiment can provide a single event effect charge collection model, which can be used to calculate the charge collection caused by secondary particle ionization such as protons, and at the same time considers the charge collection efficiency difference at different positions inside the sensitive volume, so that the applicable range of the charge collection model in this embodiment is wider.
