In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, not all.

[0024] Embodiment one, please refer to the attached Figure 1 The present application provides a multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform, wherein the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform is used to implement the steps of the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis method, and the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform comprises:

[0025] The structural layer splitting module 11 is configured to split the structural layers of the SGT MOS device and output a plurality of structural layers.

[0026] Further, the structural layer splitting module 11 in the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform is further configured to: the plurality of structural layers at least include a metal gate layer, a polysilicon layer, a gate oxide layer, a channel region and a substrate.

[0027] Specifically, SGT MOS is a split gate MOSFET, which is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor designed with split gate. There are two gate regions (such as control gate and selection gate) on the gate structure, which control different parts respectively. Compared with traditional MOSFET, it has higher precise control ability, can reduce parasitic effects, and performs better especially in high frequency or high power applications. Through the split gate design, SGT MOS can improve performance, reduce energy loss, and improve work efficiency.

[0028] In the structural layer splitting of SGT MOS devices, first determine the different levels contained in the SGT MOS device, at least including the metal gate layer, the polysilicon layer, the gate oxide layer, the channel region and the substrate. Each layer has different material characteristics and electrical properties. Structural layer splitting refers to the decomposition of each level of the SGT MOS device, and each physical field will have different effects on different layers of the SGT MOS device. Through structural layer splitting, more detailed reliability evaluation can be performed. The characteristics of each layer need to be analyzed in detail by simulation tools (such as finite element analysis), and the SGT MOS device is split into metal gate layer, polysilicon layer, gate oxide layer, channel region and substrate, etc., and the physical properties of each layer are calibrated. The electrical properties of the metal gate layer, such as conductivity and electric field distribution; the conductivity of the polysilicon layer and the gate control ability; the influence of the gate oxide layer on the performance of the electric field isolation and thickness; the carrier mobility and conductivity change of the channel region; the thermal conductivity and material stress distribution of the substrate.

[0029] The metal gate layer is the gate region of the SGT MOS device, usually composed of metal materials (such as aluminum or molybdenum), responsible for controlling the flow of electrons, forming an electric field between the semiconductor channel region, and then controlling the opening and closing of the conduction channel. The polysilicon layer is usually used in the gate part of the MOSFET as a conductive material, located between the metal gate layer and the gate oxide layer. Compared with the metal gate layer, the polysilicon layer has better control ability and lower resistance, and can provide the ability to accurately control current flow. The gate oxide layer is an oxide layer between the gate and the channel, usually silicon dioxide, and its thickness directly affects the switching performance of the device. The gate oxide layer is responsible for isolating the gate and the channel to prevent direct current flow, while controlling the influence of the electric field in the channel region. The electric field between the metal gate layer and the gate oxide layer enables the SGT MOS to accurately control the switching state of the device. The channel region is the region connecting the source and the drain, where the current flows. The gate voltage controls the conductivity of this region, thereby adjusting the current between the source and the drain. The substrate is the base of the entire device, usually silicon material, providing mechanical support and electrical connection for the SGT MOS device.

[0030] By structurally splitting the SGT MOS device and separately and coupling analyzing the multi-physical field influence of each layer, the reliability of the SGT MOS device in the actual working environment can be accurately evaluated. For example, after structural layer splitting, the metal gate layer (thickness of 100 nm), the polysilicon layer (thickness of 200 nm), the gate oxide layer (thickness of 3 nm), the channel region (length of 1 μm, width of 0.5 μm) and the substrate (thickness of 500 μm) are obtained.

[0031] An independent coefficient matrix construction module 12 is configured to import damage state sample data of the plurality of structure layers under each physical field, and construct an independent influence coefficient matrix under a plurality of physical fields based on the damage state sample data.

[0032] Further, the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform further comprises a three-dimensional model construction module configured to connect a finite element simulation system and a semiconductor multi-physical field simulation tool to construct a three-dimensional multi-layer structure model of the SGT MOS device; and a damage analysis module configured to load a single physical field and a coupled physical field to the three-dimensional multi-layer structure model, obtain a plurality of structure layer simulation response data, and extract damage state sample data and joint damage state sample data from the plurality of structure layer simulation response data.

[0033] Further, the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform further comprises: the three-dimensional multi-layer structure model is loaded with a single physical field and a coupled physical field by setting a nonlinear boundary condition; wherein the nonlinear boundary condition comprises one or more of an electric field loading boundary condition, a thermal field loading boundary condition, a stress field loading boundary condition, and an irradiation field loading boundary condition.

[0034] Specifically, the finite element simulation system is a computer program for numerical analysis in the fields of engineering and physics, which divides complex structure or field problems into smaller, more easily analyzed elements, and calculates their behavior under different physical conditions through numerical methods. The semiconductor multi-physical field simulation tool is a simulation tool specifically designed to simulate the effects of multiple physical fields (such as electric field, thermal field, force field, irradiation field, etc.) on semiconductor devices, which can consider the interaction of multiple physical effects in the same model, thereby providing more comprehensive and accurate performance evaluation.

[0035] Connecting the finite element simulation system and the semiconductor multi-physical field simulation tool, a three-dimensional multi-layer structure model of the SGT MOS device is constructed. This means that the finite element simulation system and the semiconductor multi-physical field simulation tool are integrated into a complete simulation process, ensuring joint simulation of different physical effects of the SGT MOS device, thereby providing more accurate evaluation and prediction. The finite element simulation system is used to handle structural mechanics and heat transfer problems, while the semiconductor multi-physical field simulation tool can simulate the interaction of multiple physical fields such as electric field, thermal field, force field, and irradiation field.

[0036] A three-dimensional multi-layer model is established using a semiconductor multi-physics simulation tool, based on the design parameters of the SGT MOS device. The model includes multiple structural layers such as the metal gate layer, polysilicon layer, gate oxide layer, channel region, and substrate. During the construction of the three-dimensional structure, geometric refinement is required, which involves dividing each layer of the device into small units to improve computational accuracy. For example, the modeling of the metal gate layer and gate oxide layer will be relatively fine, as they directly affect the distribution of the electric field; while the modeling of the substrate and channel region needs to consider thermal management and stress distribution more carefully. The three-dimensional multi-layer structure model not only reflects the physical structure of the device, but also enables multi-physics analysis to evaluate the interaction between layers and their impact on device performance.

[0037] The three-dimensional multi-layer structure model is loaded with single physical fields and coupled physical fields by setting nonlinear boundary conditions. Nonlinear boundary conditions refer to conditions on the boundary that are not linear, i.e., they cannot be represented as a simple linear combination of physical quantities, including one or more of the following: electric field loading boundary conditions, thermal field loading boundary conditions, stress field loading boundary conditions, and irradiation field loading boundary conditions. For example, electric fields, thermal fields, or stress fields may exhibit nonlinear characteristics at different intensities. In the multi-physics simulation of semiconductor devices, nonlinear boundary conditions are commonly used to simulate the complex behavior of physical fields as conditions change, such as the impact of temperature changes on the conductivity of materials, or the impact of electric fields on the internal structure of SGT MOS devices as voltage changes.

[0038] Electric field loading boundary conditions typically specify the application of an electric field or voltage at specific locations in the SGT MOS device, such as the metal gate layer, electrodes, or substrate; thermal field loading boundary conditions involve simulating the thermal effects of the SGT MOS device during operation due to current flow, power loss, etc. by applying heat sources or controlling temperature; stress field loading boundary conditions refer to stress effects caused by external or internal factors, particularly under conditions of temperature change or high power; and irradiation field loading boundary conditions are typically used to simulate the impact of high-energy radiation (such as ultraviolet light, electromagnetic radiation, etc.) on the SGT MOS device.

[0039] A single physical field refers to the impact of a single physical phenomenon on the performance of an SGT MOS device, such as only loading an electric field, a thermal field, or a stress field. Under the loading of a single physical field, the simulation tool will only consider the effect of that physical phenomenon (e.g., the effect of voltage changes on the electric field) on the SGT MOS device. Coupled physical fields refer to the case where multiple physical phenomena (such as electric fields, thermal fields, and force fields) interact with each other. During the operation of the device, the physical fields are usually not independent, but have interactive effects. For example, when loading a single physical field, the electric field distribution is determined by applying a given gate voltage and electrode voltage to load the electric field. When a 5V voltage is applied to the gate, the electric field strength distribution between the metal gate layer and the gate oxide layer is calculated, and its effect on the channel region is analyzed. When loading a thermal field, the thermal effect caused by the current passing through is simulated, and the current density is set to 10 A / cm². The temperature distribution inside the device is analyzed, assuming that the temperature near the gate oxide layer rises to 100°C, and the effect of this temperature on the performance of the device is calculated. When loading coupled physical fields, heat is generated due to the flow of current, and an electro-thermal coupling analysis is performed. The current is set to 5A, the thermal effect is calculated through the current, and the temperature is adjusted, further affecting the distribution of the electric field. The temperature change caused by the thermal field will cause the material to expand or contract, thereby generating stress in the structure and affecting the stability of the device. The mechanical response of the substrate or other materials to temperature changes is simulated through thermal-mechanical coupling simulation. Assuming that the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate is 11 × 10 -6 K -1 , the stress change of the substrate is calculated when the temperature rises to 120°C.

[0040] After loading single physical fields and coupled physical fields, multiple structural layer simulation response data is obtained, including the response data of each structural layer under the action of these physical fields, such as current density, electric field strength, temperature distribution, stress distribution, etc. Through the analysis of the separate loading of each physical field, damage state sample data is extracted. By considering the comprehensive effect of multiple physical fields under the action of coupling, joint damage state sample data is extracted, reflecting the overall damage state of the SGT MOS device under different environmental conditions under the interaction of multiple physical fields.

[0041] Simulation response data refers to the results calculated and output by a three-dimensional multi-layer structure model after loading different physical fields (such as electric fields, thermal fields, etc.). Damage state sample data is usually obtained by calculating the effect of electric fields, thermal fields, stress fields, or irradiation fields on the device structure, and converting these effects into specific damage assessment data, such as current leakage, stress change, etc. For example, the leakage current of the gate oxide layer may increase with the increase of temperature, thereby causing damage to the state. The leakage current of the gate oxide layer increases from 5 × 10 -17 A to 6 × 10 -17A, indicating that damage occurs under the action of thermal field. The joint damage state sample data refers to the comprehensive damage data of each layer of the device under the coupling action of multiple physical fields. Through the joint simulation of multiple physical fields, more accurate damage prediction results are obtained, considering the comprehensive influence of the interaction of multiple physical fields (such as the coupling of electric field and thermal field) on the device. For example, under the joint action of electric field and thermal field, the current density of the metal gate layer increases by 25%, and the leakage current of the gate oxide layer increases by 20%. By setting nonlinear boundary conditions, loading single physical field and coupled physical field, and extracting damage state sample data and joint damage state sample data, accurate and reliable reliability evaluation of SGT MOS device can be realized.

[0042] Further, the independent coefficient matrix construction module 12 in the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform is further used for:

[0043] The index mapping unit is configured to map each index in the damage state sample data to the same interval, and output normalized damage score sample data. The damage score calculation unit is configured to analyze the normalized damage score sample data, and calculate average damage score sample data of each structure layer under each physical field. The influence coefficient determination unit is configured to evaluate the influence degree of each structure layer under each physical field according to the average damage score sample data of each structure layer under each physical field, and define an independent influence coefficient of each structure layer under each physical field. The matrix arrangement unit is configured to arrange the independent influence coefficients under multiple physical fields in a matrix to generate an independent influence coefficient matrix.

[0044] Specifically, the damage state sample data is the damage condition data of each structure layer of the SGT MOS device under the action of different physical fields, including the damage information of each layer (such as metal gate layer, gate oxide layer, channel region, etc.) of the device under the action of electric field, thermal field, force field, irradiation field, etc., such as the change of current density, temperature rise or stress increase, etc. Each index in the damage state sample data is mapped to the same interval, i.e. mapped to the same interval (such as [0, 1]), eliminating the influence of different dimensions or different ranges, so that the damage score can be compared between physical fields or structure layers. Generally, through normalization processing, the damage evaluation between different physical fields or different layers has comparability.

[0045] The average damage score of each structure layer (such as metal gate layer, polysilicon layer, gate oxide layer, channel region and substrate, etc.) under each physical field (such as electric field, thermal field, force field, irradiation field, etc.) is calculated, and the average value obtained by averaging all damage state sample data is usually used to represent the overall damage degree of the layer under the physical field. The average damage score refers to the statistical analysis of the damage score of each structure layer under each physical field, and the average damage level of the layer is calculated, which is usually the average value of multiple damage state sample data, used to represent the damage degree of the layer under the specific physical field condition. For example, for the gate oxide layer under the action of electric field, assuming that the normalized damage sample data is [0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0], the average damage score is: (0.6+0.7+0.8+0.9+1.0) / 5=0.8; for the metal gate layer under the action of thermal field, assuming that the normalized damage sample data is [0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9], the average damage score is: (0.5+0.7+0.8+0.9+1.0) / 5=0.7.

[0046] According to the average damage score sample data of each structure layer under each physical field, the influence degree on the SGT MOS device is evaluated, and the independent influence coefficient of each structure layer under each physical field is defined. The influence degree refers to the action strength of each physical field on each structure layer of the device. The influence degree is usually measured by the change of damage score. The higher the damage score, the greater the influence of the physical field on the structure layer.

[0047] Through the analysis of the average damage score sample data, the influence degree of each physical field on each structure layer can be evaluated. The independent influence coefficient refers to the influence strength of each physical field on each structure layer, and through the analysis of the average damage score sample data, the correlation between the damage score of each layer under the action of each physical field and the physical field is calculated. For example, if the average damage score of the gate oxide layer under the action of thermal field is 0.8, and the average damage score of the metal gate layer is 0.3, then the influence degree of thermal field on the gate oxide layer is greater than that on the metal gate layer, indicating that the influence of thermal field on the gate oxide layer is strong, while the influence on the metal gate layer is weak.

[0048] By evaluating the influence degree under each physical field, the independent influence coefficient of each physical field to each structure layer is defined, which represents the influence intensity of each physical field on the structure layer. The independent influence coefficients of multiple structure layers under multiple physical fields are arranged in a matrix, i.e. the independent influence coefficients are arranged according to the physical field and the structure layer, forming an independent influence coefficient matrix, the rows represent different physical fields (electric field, thermal field, force field, irradiation field, etc.), and the columns represent different structure layers (such as metal gate layer, polysilicon layer, gate oxide layer, channel region, super junction, substrate, etc.). Exemplarily, for the influence evaluation of a certain SGT MOS device, if the influence degree of the electric field on the gate oxide layer is 0.8, i.e. the influence of the electric field on the gate oxide layer is the largest, the independent influence coefficient of the electric field on the gate oxide layer is set to 1.0; if the influence degree of the thermal field on the gate oxide layer is 0.7, the independent influence coefficient of the thermal field on the gate oxide layer is set to 0.8, and the independent influence coefficient of each structure layer under each physical field is repeated to obtain the independent influence coefficient matrix (i.e. the influence weight of each physical field on each structure layer) as shown in Table 1.

[0049] Table 1 Independent influence coefficient matrix

[0050]

[0051] The independent influence coefficient matrix of Table 1 shows the influence degree of different physical fields on each layer (L1 to L6) of the SGT MOS device. Under the action of the electric field, the damage degree of the gate oxide layer is the largest, which is 1.0, i.e. the influence of the electric field on the gate oxide layer is much stronger than that on other structure layers. The influence coefficient of the thermal field on the polysilicon layer is 0.6, and the influence coefficient on the gate oxide layer is 0.8, indicating that the influence of the thermal field on the gate oxide layer is strong, but the influence on other structure layers is weak. The influence coefficient of the force field on the polysilicon layer is 0.7, indicating that the force field has a great influence on the polysilicon layer, which may be due to the mechanical stress caused by thermal expansion. The influence coefficient of irradiation on the substrate layer is 0.5, indicating that the influence of surface irradiation on the substrate layer is large, especially in the radiation environment, the damage of the substrate layer is more significant than that of other layers. By quantifying the influence of each physical field on each structure layer, the damage of the device under complex working conditions is accurately evaluated, thereby improving the accuracy of reliability evaluation. By defining the independent influence coefficient, the damage state of each structure layer under different physical fields is comprehensively understood, which helps to identify the physical field and structure layer with the greatest influence, optimize the design parameters, and improve the device performance.

[0052] The coupling physical field defining module 13 is configured to define a coupling physical field, wherein the coupling physical field is a physical field coupled by at least two physical fields.

[0053] In particular, coupled physical fields refer to the physical phenomenon that at least two physical fields (such as electric field, thermal field, force field, irradiation, etc.) interact with each other and jointly act. In the multi-physical field simulation of SGT MOS devices, the interaction between each physical field is very important, because considering each physical field alone may not truly reflect the performance of the device in the actual working environment. The key feature of coupled physical fields is that the physical fields are not independent, but interact with each other and jointly determine the behavior of the system. For example, the interaction between electric field and thermal field, the current flow causes heat generation, and the temperature rise affects the electric field distribution, which is a typical coupled physical field.

[0054] Define the physical fields that affect the performance of SGT MOS devices, for example, the electric field is generated by the gate voltage and the source-drain voltage; the thermal field is generated by the power loss caused by current flow; the force field may be caused by stress due to temperature change or external load. Determine the interaction between each physical field. For example, current flow causes heat generation (electric-thermal coupling), and temperature change affects the path of current flow (thermal-electric coupling); stress (force field) may affect the electric field distribution, especially in high power or high voltage cases (electric-force coupling).

[0055] Load physical fields such as electric field, thermal field, force field, etc. using finite element analysis tools, and perform simulation calculations under each physical field. Link each physical field through the coupling relationship. In electric-thermal coupling simulation, the simulation tool needs to consider current flow and heat generation at the same time, and adjust the electric field distribution according to the temperature distribution; in electric-force coupling simulation, the thermal expansion of the device may change the distribution of the electric field, which needs to be simulated through multi-physical field coupling. For each physical field, appropriate boundary conditions need to be set. For example, when loading the electric field, the gate voltage can be set, when loading the thermal field, the power loss and temperature change can be considered; when loading the stress field, the boundary conditions of the material thermal expansion coefficient and external force need to be set.

[0056] By defining and simulating coupled physical fields, the interaction between multiple physical fields and their impact on SGT MOS devices can be accurately evaluated. By simulating and analyzing the impact of coupled physical fields, the reliability of the device can be accurately evaluated, and the design and manufacturing process of the device can be optimized.

[0057] The coupling coefficient matrix construction module 14 is configured to import joint damage state sample data of the plurality of structure layers under the coupled physical fields, and construct a coupling influence coefficient matrix under the plurality of coupled physical fields based on the joint damage state sample data.

[0058] Further, the coupling coefficient matrix construction module 14 in the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform is also used for: a joint damage index mapping unit, configured to map each index in the joint damage state sample data to the same interval, and output normalized joint damage score sample data; an enhancement factor determination unit, configured to perform coupling calculation according to the normalized damage score sample data and the normalized joint damage score sample data, obtain a ratio of joint damage score sample data of each structure layer to average damage score sample data under the action of a corresponding single physical field, and output a coupling enhancement factor of each structure layer under each physical field; and a coupling matrix determination unit, configured to define a coupling influence coefficient vector based on the coupling enhancement factor, and obtain a coupling influence coefficient matrix.

[0059] Specifically, the joint damage state sample data refers to damage condition data of each structure layer of a device under the joint action of multiple physical fields (such as electric field, thermal field, force field, etc.), which reflects the comprehensive influence of the coupling action between the physical fields on the structure layer, and can provide more accurate damage evaluation than a single physical field. Mapping each index in the joint damage state sample data to the same interval, that is, mapping each index in the joint damage state sample data to the same standard range (such as [0, 1]), makes the damage data under the action of different physical fields comparable and eliminates the dimensional difference of data of different physical fields or different structure layers. The normalized joint damage score sample data is obtained by standardizing the joint damage state sample data, so that all damage scores are in the same dimension and range (usually [0, 1]), ensuring that the comparison between different physical fields and different structure layers is consistent and fair. Coupling calculation refers to ratio calculation of the normalized damage score sample data and the normalized joint damage score sample data, to analyze the relationship between the comprehensive influence of the coupling action of multiple physical fields on each structure layer of the device and the influence of the action of a single physical field. For each structure layer, the ratio between the joint damage score under the action of multiple physical fields and the average damage score under the action of a single physical field is calculated, reflecting the enhancement effect of the coupling action of multiple physical fields relative to the action of a single physical field.

[0060] According to the coupling enhancement factor of each physical field to each structure layer, a coupling influence coefficient vector is defined, which includes the coupling influence coefficient of each physical field to each structure layer, and is a coefficient set quantifying the coupling effect of each physical field. The coupling influence coefficient vector is a vector containing the coupling influence coefficient of each physical field to each structure layer. Each element represents the coupling influence intensity of a certain structure layer of the device under the action of a specific physical field. The coupling influence coefficient vector is used to identify the influence degree of different physical fields on different layers of the device under the action of multiple physical field coupling. The coupling influence coefficient matrix is obtained by arranging the coupling influence coefficient vector of each physical field to each structure layer in rows. The rows of the matrix represent different physical fields (such as electric field, thermal field, force field, irradiation field, etc.), and the columns represent different structure layers (such as metal gate layer, polysilicon layer, gate oxide layer, channel region, super junction, substrate, etc.). For example, assuming that the joint damage score of the super junction is 0.75, the average damage score under the action of the thermal field is 0.7, and the average damage score under the action of the force field is 0.6. The coupling enhancement factor is calculated as follows: coupling enhancement factor (force field) = 1.25, which means that the damage degree of the super junction is enhanced by 1.25 times when the force field and other physical fields act together; the coupling enhancement factor (thermal field) is 1.07, which means that the damage degree of the super junction is enhanced by 1.07 times when the thermal field and other physical fields act together. For other coupled physical fields, repeat the foregoing calculation process, and the coupling influence coefficient matrix is shown in Table 2:

[0061] Table 2 Coupling influence coefficient matrix

[0062]

[0063] Arranging the coupling influence coefficient vector of each physical field to each structure layer in rows generates a coupling influence coefficient matrix, which provides the influence intensity of multiple physical fields on each structure layer. Each matrix element represents the coupling influence coefficient of a specific physical field on a specific structure layer. By calculating the coupling enhancement factor and generating the coupling influence coefficient matrix, the comprehensive influence of multiple physical fields on the structure layers of the device is quantified, further improving the accuracy of the multi-physical field coupling analysis. Through coupling calculation and the coupling influence coefficient matrix, the reliability evaluation accuracy of the device in a multi-physical field environment is improved.

[0064] The reliability analysis module 15 is configured to construct a reliability calculation module according to the independent influence coefficient matrix and the coupling influence coefficient matrix, and output a first reliability calculation result of the SGT MOS device under a target coupled physical field according to the reliability calculation module.

[0065] Further, the reliability analysis module 15 in the SGT MOS reliability analysis platform of the multi-physical field coupling is further configured to:

[0066] An influence vector construction unit is configured to construct a structure layer influence vector based on the independent influence coefficient matrix and the coupled influence coefficient matrix; a weight vector construction unit is configured to construct a structure layer weight vector corresponding to each structure layer based on the proportion of the plurality of structure layer historical failure frequencies in total failure events; and a weighted connection unit is configured to perform weighted connection on the structure layer weight vector to the structure layer influence vector to construct a reliability calculation module.

[0067] Specifically, a structure layer influence vector is constructed based on the independent influence coefficient matrix and the coupled influence coefficient matrix, the two matrices are combined, and the influence of each physical field is weighted and summed to obtain a comprehensive influence coefficient of each structure layer, i.e., the structure layer influence vector. The structure layer influence vector is a vector calculated based on the independent influence coefficient matrix and the coupled influence coefficient matrix, representing the overall influence degree of each structure layer after considering the influence of all physical fields, and reflecting the comprehensive action of multiple physical fields on each layer of the device.

[0068] The structure layer historical failure frequency refers to the number of times that each structure layer fails in past failure events, which is recorded through historical data and reflects the failure probability of different structure layers in actual use. The total failure events of multiple structure layers are collected and analyzed, and the historical failure frequency data of each structure layer is also collected. The proportion of each structure layer in the total failure events is calculated through the ratio of the failure frequency of each structure layer to the total failure frequency of all structure layers. The proportion of the structure layer failure frequency in the total failure events refers to the ratio of the failure frequency of each structure layer to the total failure frequency of all structure layers, reflecting the relative importance and contribution of a certain structure layer in all failure events. For example, assuming that in the past 50 failure events: the metal gate layer fails 10 times, the polysilicon layer fails 5 times, the gate oxide layer fails 15 times, the channel region fails 8 times, the super junction fails 7 times, and the substrate layer fails 5 times. For example, the proportion of the metal gate layer is 0.2, the proportion of the polysilicon layer is 0.1, the proportion of the gate oxide layer is 0.3, the proportion of the channel region is 0.16, the proportion of the super junction is 0.14, and the proportion of the substrate layer is 0.1.

[0069] The structure layer weight vector is a vector constructed based on the proportion of the historical failure frequency of each structure layer, and each element of the vector represents the weight of the structure layer in all failure events. The higher the weight, the greater the influence of the structure layer on the overall device reliability, and vice versa. The structure layer weight vector is constructed based on the proportion of the historical failure frequency of each structure layer. For example, based on the failure proportions calculated in the foregoing, the weight vector of the structure layer is [0.20, 0.10, 0.30, 0.16, 0.14, 0.10].

[0070] According to the structure layer weight vector, the structure layer influence vector is weighted and connected, that is, each element in the influence vector is multiplied by the corresponding weight, to construct a reliability calculation module. The reliability calculation module is obtained by combining the structure layer influence vector and the structure layer weight vector, and performing weighted calculation, and is used for finally evaluating the overall reliability of the SGT MOS device. The influence degree and importance of each structure layer are combined to generate a comprehensive reliability prediction result. By constructing the reliability calculation module, the reliability of the SGT MOS device is quantitatively evaluated, the most critical structure layer in the device can be identified, and thus the SGT MOS device can be optimized and designed to improve the long-term stability and reliability of the SGT MOS device.

[0071] The target coupled physical field refers to a specific combination of physical fields of interest, which have interaction and coupling between them. By performing reliability analysis on the SGT MOS device in the target coupled physical field, a first reliability calculation result of the SGT MOS device in the target coupled physical field is obtained. The first reliability calculation result is a device overall reliability evaluation obtained based on multi-physical field coupling calculation, which is usually expressed as a failure probability or service life of the device. By coupling the influence of different physical fields, the comprehensive influence under the interaction of multiple physical fields is considered, thereby improving the accuracy of the device reliability evaluation.

[0072] Further, the reliability analysis module 15 in the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform is also used for:

[0073] The reliability calculation module further includes a neighborhood influence calculation module, wherein the neighborhood influence calculation module includes a damage score judgment unit and a neighborhood diffusion calculation unit; the damage score judgment unit receives the normalized damage score sample data and the normalized joint damage score sample data, obtains a damage score sample data combination of each structure layer; according to the damage score sample data combination of each structure layer, an identified damage score sample data combination greater than a preset damage score threshold is screened; and the neighborhood diffusion calculation unit calculates a diffusion influence coefficient of each structure layer caused by neighborhood structure layer diffusion by using the identified damage score sample data combination, to construct a neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix.

[0074] Specifically, when the damage score of a certain structure layer exceeds the preset threshold, the damage of this structure layer will affect its adjacent structure layer, which is caused by the damage propagation between structure layers, and usually needs to be quantified by calculating the diffusion influence coefficient. According to the preset damage score threshold, it is judged whether the damage score of each structure layer exceeds the threshold. If the damage score of a certain structure layer is greater than the threshold, the layer is marked as a damage state, and the diffusion influence on the adjacent structure layer needs to be further calculated. For example, if the preset threshold is 0.8 and the joint damage score of the gate oxide layer under the coupling effect of the electric field and the thermal field is calculated to be 0.85, the damage score of the gate oxide layer exceeds the threshold, and is marked as a damage state. Once it is determined that the damage score of a certain structure layer exceeds the threshold, the neighborhood diffusion calculation unit will calculate the diffusion influence coefficient of the structure layer on the adjacent structure layer. The diffusion influence coefficient represents how the damage of a structure layer affects its adjacent structure layer, reflecting the propagation effect of damage between structure layers.

[0075] The neighborhood influence calculation module is part of the reliability calculation module, which is specially used to calculate the propagation effect of damage between structure layers. The neighborhood influence calculation module includes two main components: a damage score judgment unit and a neighborhood diffusion calculation unit, which work together to quantify the diffusion influence between adjacent structure layers and provide key data for reliability evaluation. The damage score judgment unit is a submodule of the neighborhood influence calculation module, which is used to receive normalized damage score sample data and normalized joint damage score sample data, and judge whether there is obvious damage in each structure layer according to the preset damage score threshold. The damage score judgment unit will screen out the structure layers whose damage scores exceed the threshold, and mark these structure layers as damage states.

[0076] The neighborhood diffusion calculation unit is another submodule of the neighborhood influence calculation module, which calculates how the damage of the damage structure layer screened out by the damage score judgment unit affects the damage state of the adjacent structure layer, quantifies the propagation effect of damage between structure layers through the diffusion model, calculates the diffusion influence coefficient of each structure layer on the adjacent layer, and finally constructs the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix.

[0077] The damage score judgment unit receives normalized damage score sample data and normalized joint damage score sample data, which contains the damage state of each structure layer of the device under different working conditions. According to the preset damage score threshold, it is judged whether the damage score of each structure layer exceeds the threshold. If the damage score of a certain structure layer exceeds the threshold, it is marked as a damage state, otherwise it is marked as a non-damage state. Once the damage score judgment unit screens out the structure layer in the damage state, the neighborhood diffusion calculation unit will calculate the diffusion influence coefficient of the damage state structure layer on its adjacent structure layer, quantifying the propagation effect of damage between different structure layers.

[0078] By calculating the diffusion influence coefficient between all structure layers, the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix is obtained. The rows and columns of the matrix represent different structure layers, and each element represents the diffusion influence coefficient of a certain structure layer on its adjacent structure layer. For example, assuming that the gate oxide layer damage score (0.85) exceeds the threshold value (0.85), the damage score judgment unit marks it as a damage state. The neighborhood diffusion calculation unit calculates the diffusion influence coefficient of the gate oxide layer on its adjacent structure layers (such as the channel region and the substrate layer). Assuming that the diffusion influence coefficient of the gate oxide layer on the channel region is 0.6, and the influence coefficient on the substrate layer is 0.4, which represents the influence of the damage of the gate oxide layer on other structure layers. The neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix is composed of multiple diffusion influence coefficients, reflecting the damage propagation effect of each structure layer on its adjacent structure layers. The rows and columns of the matrix represent different structure layers, and the numerical value of each cell represents the diffusion influence coefficient of a certain structure layer on its adjacent layer. After the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix is constructed, the reliability calculation module will combine these data to calculate the overall reliability of the device under the target coupled physical field, considering the damage state of each structure layer, the neighborhood diffusion effect and other influencing factors, and finally output the reliability evaluation result of the device.

[0079] By calculating the diffusion influence coefficient, the propagation effect of damage between structure layers is accurately simulated, the interaction effect between neighborhood layers is considered, the influence of multi-physical field and interlayer interaction is fully reflected, and the accuracy of reliability evaluation is further improved. By identifying which structure layer has a greater diffusion influence on adjacent layers, measures can be taken to reduce damage diffusion, thereby optimizing the design of the SGT MOS device and improving the stability and long-term reliability of the SGT MOS device.

[0080] Further, the reliability analysis module 15 in the multi-physical field coupled SGT MOS reliability analysis platform is also used for:

[0081] The second reliability calculation unit is used for the neighborhood influence calculation module to obtain a second reliability calculation result through the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix; and the calculation result updating unit is used for updating the first reliability calculation result according to the second reliability calculation result.

[0082] Specifically, the neighborhood influence calculation module is used to calculate the diffusion influence between each structure layer and finally output the calculation result of the influence, and the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix is used to quantify the damage diffusion effect of one structure layer on the adjacent structure layer. The neighborhood influence calculation module uses the calculated neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix to reflect the diffusion influence of damage from a certain structure layer to the adjacent layer. Each element represents the diffusion influence coefficient of a certain structure layer on its neighborhood layer. The neighborhood influence calculation module uses the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix to obtain the second reliability calculation result, which is calculated based on the influence degree of each structure layer on the adjacent structure layer, and comprehensively reflects the reliability level of the device under a specific working condition. The second reliability calculation result is the result calculated by the neighborhood influence calculation module, which considers the diffusion influence between structure layers and reflects the reliability of the device under the condition that there is damage propagation between structure layers.

[0083] After obtaining the second reliability calculation result, the first reliability calculation result will be updated according to the second reliability calculation result, that is, the neighborhood diffusion effect is introduced into the reliability calculation, so that the evaluation result is more accurate. For example, assuming that the first reliability calculation result is the reliability score of the gate oxide layer 0.85, and the diffusion influence coefficient of the gate oxide layer on the channel region is 0.6, then the influence of the gate oxide layer is 0.85*0.6=0.51, and the influence of the gate oxide layer on the substrate layer is 0.85*0.4=0.34.

[0084] The second reliability calculation result is applied to the first reliability calculation result for updating to obtain the final reliability evaluation result, which accurately reflects the influence of multi-physical field coupling and interlayer damage diffusion effect on the device. By introducing the neighborhood diffusion influence coefficient matrix, the damage propagation effect between structure layers is considered, and the accuracy of reliability evaluation is effectively improved, especially in the damage propagation process under the action of multiple physical fields.
