Test structures for debugging variation of critical devices caused by layout-dependent effects in FinFETs
Q. Lin, H. Pan, J. Chang
Xilinx Inc., San Jose, CA
DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383751
ABSTRACT: The increasing stress engineering in FinFETs raises concerns about performance variation caused by the strong layout-dependent effect (LDE). The challenge is that it is difficult to decouple the combination of LDEs in a layout. As a result, it is challenging for Fab to reduce the variation induced by LDE. In this paper, we present a set of test structures for monitoring and debugging the variation of critical devices caused by LDEs. These test structures were verified in 16nm FinFET technology. We also present two case studies of debugging FinFET device variation by using these test structures.

DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383752
ABSTRACT: Short flow characterization vehicle test chips are a major contributor to fast learning cycles especially for BEOL process steps. While hard open fails can be easily detected even in large via chains, it is very difficult to detect soft open fails like a 100 times larger via resistance of just one via within a large chain of vias. A Passive Permutation Multiplexer (PPM) is presented to optimize the signal to noise ratio for detecting soft open fails. The PPM implements a balanced routing access to a local population of resistive Devices Under Test (DUT) such as via or contact chains. Thus, soft open fail are easily recognizable as outliers of all measured resistance values within such a local population of DUTs. Compared to traditional passive multiplexers, the PPM contains up to twice as many DUTs. Furthermore, significantly larger Design of Experiments (DOE) can be implemented, since the PPM can hold more than just one DOE level within the same array.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we proposed novel test structures to evaluate the distribution of interface state density of MOSFETs by using optical charge pumping method. Unlike other measurement methods to extract interface state density (Dit), which have a limited range of measurable energy states and influenced by gate area and gate leakage, Dit can be extracted without these problems by using the proposed test structures. Test structures were fabricated using a 0.18μm CMOS process or FD-SOI technology with high-k dielectric, respectively. Optical charge pumping was performed in proposed test structures and Dit is extracted from 109 cm-2· eV-1 to 1013 cm-2· eV-1.

DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383758
ABSTRACT: Stress from FET Isolation regions affects the electrical behavior of transistors in modern technologies. Characterization and modeling of stress effects have primarily been done for transistor layouts that have rectangular (regular) shaped source and drains. However, circuits may include transistor layouts that have non-rectangular (irregular) shaped source and drains. This paper presents test structures to evaluate the effects caused by isolation stress on irregular source/drain transistor layouts, and shows that the standard way of calculating the effective distances for modeling stress effects is also reasonable for irregular source/drain transistor layouts.

ABSTRACT: A novel parameter extraction method for compact MOSFET models is proposed. The proposed method exploits automatic differentiation (AD) technique that is widely used in the training of artificial neural networks. In the AD technique, gradient of all the parameters of the MOSFET model is analytically calculated as a graph to reduce computational cost. On the basis of the calculated gradient, the model parameters are efficiently optimized. Through experiments using SPICE models, the parameter extraction using the proposed method achieved 7.01x speedup compared to that using the numerical-differentiation method.

ABSTRACT: As VLSI technology features are pushed to the limit with every generation and with the introduction of new materials and increased current densities to satisfy performance demands, failure risk due to Electromigraton (EM) is ever-increasing. In this paper, we present experimental results using a novel set of test structures to validate a new model-based EM risk assessment approach. In this method, EM risk can be assessed for any interconnect geometry through an exact solution of the fundamental stress equations. This approach eliminates the need for complex look-up tables for different geometries and can be implemented in CAD tools very easily as we demonstrate on real design examples.

ABSTRACT: The measurement system in which the Monte Carlo analysis of SRAM operation can be performed in actual measurement using Vth-shiftable SRAM cell TEG (VTST) was developed. The dynamic Vth-shift circuit (DVSC) using electrolytic capacitors and mechanical relays for setting individual Vth-shift voltages for six MOSFETs in a memory cell enables to share a programmable external voltage source. The measured results of the Monte Carlo analysis for SRAM function test and the static noise margin evaluation were agreed well with the simulated results.

ABSTRACT: We propose an extraction method of process variation utilizing D-Flip-Flop (DFF) data retention characteristics and Ring Oscillator(RO) oscillation delay. Extracted process variation is modeled as PMOS and NMOS threshold voltage variations. Retention characteristics of the DFF circuit has different sensitivity to threshold voltage variation from the RO circuit. A DFF circuit is newly introduced as a complementary test structure of the conventional RO circuit for process variation extraction. By combining the RO circuit and the DFF circuits, we can accurately estimate the shift of global process variation. The test structure is implemented into silicon chip and the amount of global variation shift is extracted from measured data.

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a monitor circuit that can estimate process variation and temperature by circuit reconfiguration. The circuit topology of the temperature monitoring is crafted such that the oscillation frequency is determined by the amount of leakage current which has an exponential dependency to temperature. The voltage dependence of this circuit is small in the configuration for temperature measurement, and the temperature dependence is small in the configuration for process variation estimation. A test chip fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process demonstrates the temperature estimation capability with accuracy within -0.3 °C to 0.4 °C over a temperature range of 10 ° C to 100 °C, as well as the ability for estimating process variations.

ABSTRACT: Thermal management of semiconductor chips is becoming very important as the demand for chip performance increases. It is necessary to evaluate/manage the thermal aspects of a chip throughout the development cycle - starting from initial planning stage to deployment on customer board and beyond. In this paper, we present a versatile thermal evaluation vehicle that addresses the above requirements. This paper describes the circuit architecture/implementation, details of operation, programming aspects, usage model and various applications of a silicon chip that is successfully used as a thermal evaluation tool. The chip has 1600 sectors with programmable heat-generation and temperature-sensing capability - enabling it to generate up to 3W per mm2 and has a temperature detection range of 30C to 125C with an accuracy of +/-2C. It has a simple implementation and is easy to program and test - yet has substantial thermal evaluation capabilities. It was fabricated in 0.18um technology and packaged as flip-chip. The chip has ability to do automated on-chip temperature measurements through a tester-friendly interface and has been successfully controlled through a simple and inexpensive test-platform. The ability to generate heat on-die and monitor spatial & temporal on-die temperature makes this chip suitable to emulate many different use cases of a product during the development stage ahead of product silicon availability. The capabilities of this test-vehicle make it a suitable candidate for demonstrating power-aware/thermal-aware testing. Silicon measurement data and comparison to simulation results based on numerical models are also presented in this paper.

6.4 All-digital on-chip heterogeneous sensors for tracking the minimum energy point of processors

DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383780
ABSTRACT: Dynamically scaling the supply voltage (VDD) and the threshold voltage (VTH) is one of the most effective approaches for reducing the energy consumption of processors. However, since the best pair of VDD and VTH, which minimizes the energy consumption of processors is strongly dependent on the operating condition such as an activity factor and a performance required for the processor, it is not trivial to find the best pair of the voltages at runtime when the operating condition widely varies. With all-digital on-chip heterogeneous sensors, we propose a simple runtime method to accurately identify the best pair of VDD and VTH, which minimizes the energy consumption of a processor under a specific operating condition which is determined by a process variation, an activity factor, and a performance requirement for the processor. Measured results for a 32-bit RISC processor integrating the heterogeneous sensors show that the proposed method successfully tracks the minimum energy operating point (i.e. the best pair of VDD and VTH) of the processor even in a case that the operating condition widely varies.

Micron Technology Inc., Boise, Idaho
DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383783
ABSTRACT: This new design enabled an efficient layout of breakdown test devices for parametric and reliability testing. These reliability circuits consisted of interlocking combs of routing layers with varying widths and spaces that were representative of the design rules. These were accessed through multiplexer controlled pass gates. All addresses could be simultaneously enabled for stress biasing and addressed individually for failure detection. Once a breakdown was detected, as current leakage of the comb, each device could be addressed sequentially to find the failing structure. This was an improvement over previous designs which either grouped many devices in parallel, but could not electrically identify which device was failing, or only had a single device enabled, but suffered from poor pad efficiency. The grouping of these devices allows for simultaneous parallel stressing of each force and ground pad pair on the parametric testers. Electrical measurement showed that the same breakdown voltage values measured on this mux design were the same as standalone devices.

ABSTRACT: Parallel test capability, enabled by numerous independent measurement channels has significantly increased throughput in parametric testing. It involves testing of numerous devices simultaneously synchronously or asynchronously. The number of devices tested for a given pad layout is increased by using higher dimensional arrays, the hallmark of which is pad sharing. Parallel testing of multiple devices with shared pads is vulnerable to device fails, where a failing device adversely affects measurement of all other devices. Information about this failing device or compromised measurement would only be evident at post analysis where a retest with a recipe change can then be ordered. In some cases retest is impossible as wafers would have already moved on to subsequent processing steps, thereby losing valuable learning opportunity. On the other hand, having to wait for post analysis requires time. Ideally failure detection and subsequent re-measure is done dynamically while the device is under test. This would require that decision making capability to be implemented in an automated tester equipment. In this work, we will discuss an algorithm based approach to adaptively change the test program allowing testing or skipping devices based on data collected real time while device is under test. The adaptive algorithm is also extended to aid in test time efficiency by eliminating tests based on measurement results of preceding tests.

ABSTRACT: The quantitative model of effective total capacitance, Ceff, of a CMOS ring oscillator (R/O) inverter chain in a 14nm node FinFET 3D structure using advanced Replacement Metal Gate (RMG) is successfully extracted using all the unit capacitance components comprising the R/O, such as inverter, fan-out (F/O) MOSCAP, and metal routing. The extracted Ceff model is well validated by perfect matching to the measured Si Ceff in the R/O. This paper provides a concise and clear Ceff quantitative model of inverter R/O chain using individual transistor capacitance components such as channel capacitance (Cgc), overlap capacitance (Cov), junction capacitance (Cj) and metal wire capacitance (Cwire) considering the R/O layout and its operation mechanism, which has never been reported before. Furthermore, Cov is decomposed with the gate to contact capacitance (Cmol), EPI source-drain (S/D) to gate on Fin top (Cft), EPI S/D to gate on Fin sidewall (Cfb) and intrinsic gate to S/D overlap capacitance (Cdo) with Si data and simulation. Contribution to Ceff by all the capacitor components from Cgc, Cmol, Cj, Cwire, Cft, Cfb and Cdo is extracted with Si validation. Cov reduction without DC performance degradation is also provided in this paper.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, an on-chip micro-mechanical test structure has been developed to investigate the frictional behavior of Deep-RIE sidewall contacting surfaces of single crystal silicon which is most widely used in micromechanical systems (MEMS). The test structure is fabricated on Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafer using standard MEMS process. Two orthogonally placed electrostatic comb-drive actuators are adopted, one comb drive is used to align a contact with the friction surfaces under a certain normal load and another one is used to generate the tangential motion on contacted sidewall surfaces. To assess the frictional behavior, both static and dynamic friction coefficients were observed on the contacted surfaces during the experiment with different DRIE process parameters. Through experiments, it was found that with the increment of normal forces, the static friction coefficient is no longer a constant value and it has less effect on dynamic friction coefficient. DRIE process parameters greatly influence the frictional properties on both static and dynamic friction coefficients.

ABSTRACT: We propose a test structure to electrically assess direct laser fine patterning, which is entering a microelectronic era (below 10μm). Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) was used as a material example. High speed ITO patterning with laser ablation can contribute short turn-around-time development of opto-electrical devices, such as organic light emitting diode. However, not only machine-induced line-edge fluctuation but also the process (e.g. heat) induced material degradation may affect electrical linewidth. The aim of our test structure is to assess such critical dimension change through measurement of electrical property (i.e. conductivity). It consists of Kelvin-connection straight lines and Greek crosses with various widths. Ultraviolet (UV) laser process as well as lithography and plasma etching were applied with the same test structure. The measurement revealed that the applied direct patterning condition induced small damage, showing applicability of direct patterning in microelectronics R&D.

ABSTRACT: This work presents a system for the in-line wafer-level characterisation of electrochemical sensors. Typically, such sensors are first diced and packaged before being electro-chemically tested. By integrating their characterisation into the manufacturing process, the production of electrochemical sensors becomes more efficient and less expensive as they can be parametrically tested midway through the fabrication process, without the need to package them. This enables malfunctioning or failed devices to be identified before dicing and reduces costs as only functional devices are packaged (in many cases this can be more expensive than the sensor fabrication). This study describes wafer-level characterisation of a simple electrochemical sensor design using a photoresist hydrophobic corralling film for the electrolyte and a probe station for contacting to individual dies.

DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383798
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present the effect of different sub-mm and mm-wave probe geometry and topology on the measurement results of dedicated test-structures calibrated with on-wafer TRL. These results are compared against 3D EM simulation of the intrinsic test-structures. To analyze difference between the measured and intrinsic EM simulation results, on-wafer TRL calibration performed on EM simulation results of a dedicated test-structure is also presented.

DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383800
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a system-aware design of device-under-tests (DUT) for optimum high-frequency (HF) on-wafer noise measurement. It overcomes the challenges in modeling the bias and geometry dependence of noise sources due to the voltage drop in the interconnections at the output port of a large DUT. It also prevents the measurement inaccuracy resulted from insufficient noise from a small DUT. Experimental data and suggested device sizes for different technologies are presented.

10.4 Measurement of temperature effect on random telegraph noise induced delay fluctuation

DOI: 10.1109/ICMTS.2018.8383801
ABSTRACT: We present detailed measurement results of temperature effect on Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) induced delay fluctuation using a test chip fabricated in a 65-nm Silicon-On-Thin-Buried-Oxide process. Skewed ring oscillators (ROs) are used to characterize pMOFSET and nMOSFET specific RTN effects. Distributions of overall threshold fluctuation of a device have been extracted such that the simulated delay distribution matches with the measured delay distribution. For worst-case delay prediction, circuit analysis with Δντ distribution model for low temperature is necessary. Estimation results reveal that RTN amplitude decreases slightly with the increase of temperature. However, low correlation of 0.3 to 0.4 has been observed across temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 80 °C for delay paths. We find appearing and disappearing of traps across the temperature range causing the low correlation. Low correlation poses challenges in realizing robust runtime performance compensation techniques such as replica critical path based delay compensation.
