153 results about "Antenna effect" patented technology

The antenna effect, more formally plasma induced gate oxide damage, is an effect that can potentially cause yield and reliability problems during the manufacture of MOS integrated circuits. Fabs normally supply antenna rules, which are rules that must be obeyed to avoid this problem. A violation of such rules is called an antenna violation. The word antenna is something of a misnomer in this context—the problem is really the collection of charge, not the normal meaning of antenna, which is a device for converting electromagnetic fields to/from electrical currents. Occasionally the phrase antenna effect is used in this context, but this is less common since there are many effects, and the phrase does not make clear which is meant.

Design method of semiconductor device and semiconductor device

In an error analysis step, analysis of an antenna effect error, a timing constraint violation and the like is performed for layout data in which redundant via conversion has been performed. Then, whether or not an error exists is judged and, among redundant vias located on a signal line in which a design constraint violation has occurred, how many vias have to be converted to single vias, respectively, to avoid the design constraint violation is calculated. In a via conversion step, a redundant via which has caused an error is converted to a single via, based on a result of the calculation. Thus, a design constraint violation regarding an error such as an antenna effect error and a timing constraint violation caused by a redundant via obtained by converting a single via for improving yield hardly occurs.

Semiconductor device and manufacturing method for the same

A semiconductor device including an SOI substrate reduces a gate leak current of an anti-antenna-effect dummy fill-cell and suppresses an antenna effect. The thickness of a gate insulating film of the anti-antenna-effect dummy fill-cell is determined to be large than that of a gate insulating film of an SOI transistor. This reduces the gate leak current of the anti-antenna-effect dummy fill-cell. The gate area (gate length×gate width) of the anti-antenna-effect dummy fill-cell is determined to be large than that (gate length×gate width) of the SOI transistor. This makes the gate capacity of the anti-antenna-effect dummy fill-cell almost equal to that of SOI transistor, thereby suppressing the antenna effect.
