Interconnect characterization on a wafer level was performed. Test patterns for single, two-coupled, and triple-coupled lines ere designed by using 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process. Then interconnect capacitances and resistances were experimentally extracted by using tow port network measurements, Particularly to eliminate parasitic effects, the Y-parameter de-embedding was performed with specially designed de-embedding patterns. Also, for the purpose of comparisons, capacitance matrices were calculated by using the existing CAD model and field-solver-based commercial simulator, METAL and MEDICI. This work experimentally verifies that existing CAD models or parameter extraction may have large deviation from real values. The signal transient simulation with the experimental data and other methodologies such as field-solver-based simulation and existing model was performed. as expected, the significantly affect on the signal delay and crosstalk. The signal delay due to interconnects dominates the sub-micron-based a gate delay (e.g., inverter). Particularly, coupling capacitance deviation is so large (about more than 45% in the worst case) that signal integrity cannot e guaranteed with the existing methodologies. The characterization methodologies of this paper can be very usefully employed for the signal integrity verification or he electrical design rule establishments of IC interconnects in the industry.

The conventional IGBT has two problems to make the device taking high performance. The one is high on state voltage drop associated with JFET region, the other is low breakdown voltage associated with concentrating the electric field on the junction of between p base and n drift. This paper is about the structure to effectively improve both the lower on state voltage drop and the higher breakdown voltage than the conventional IGBT. For the fabrication of the circular trench IGBT with the circular trench layer, it is necessary to perform the only one wet oxidation step for the circular trench layer. Analysis on both the on state voltage drop and the breakdown voltage show the improved values compared to the conventional IGBT structure. Because the circular trench layer disperses electric field from the junction of between p base and n drift to circular trench, the breakdown voltage increase. The on state voltage drop decrease due to reduction of JFET region and direction changed of current path which pass through reversed layer channel. The electrical characteristics were studied by MEDICI simulation results.

본 논문에서는 IGBT 소자 중 온저항을 낮추고 집적성을 향상시키기 위해 고안된 트렌치 게이트 IGBT의 단점인 게이트 코너에서의 전계 집중현상을 완화하기 위해 P+ 베이스 영역에 트렌치 전극을 형성하고, 트렌치 바닥면에 P+ 층을 형성한 새로운 구조를 제안하고 TSUPREM과 MEDICI 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 제안한 구조를 시뮬레이션한 결과 순방향 저지시에 15% 이상의 항복전압 향상을 보였으며, 이 때 온저항 특성과 문턱전압의 변화는 없었다. 전계 분포를 3차원적 시뮬레이션을 통해 트렌치 전극 바닥에 형성된 P+ 층에 의해 전계집중이 분산되는 전계분산 효과에 의해 항복전압을 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 전계분산 효과에 의한 항복전압향상은 트렌치 게이트의 코너와 트렌치 전극의 코너의 깊이가 같을수록 두 코너 사이의 거리가 가까울수록 커짐을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 제안 구조는 공정상 복잡성이 야기되지만 15%이상의 항복전압향상 효과는 소자 특성 개선에서 많은 응용이 기대된다.

In this paper a new conductivity modulated power transistor called the Lateral Insulated Gated Bipolar Transistor which included n+ ring and p-channel gate is presented. A new lateral IGBT structure is proposed to suppress latch-up and to improve turn off time by imploying n+ ring and p-channel gate and verified by MEDICI. The simulated I-V characteristics at $V_{G}$=15V show that the latch up occurs at $V_{A}$=18V and 6.9$\times$10$^{-5}$ A/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the proposed LIGBT while the conventional LIGBT latches at $V_{A}$=1.3V and 1.96${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$10$^{-5A}$${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. It is shown that turn off characteristic of new LIGBT is 8 times than that of conventional LIGBT. And noble LIGBT is not n+ buffer layer because that It includes p channel gate and n+ ring. Therefore Mask for the buffer layer isn’t needed. The concentration of n+ ring is and the numbers of n+ ring and p channel gate are three for the optimal design.n.n.n.n.

Electrical characteristics of LDMOS power device with LDD(Lightly Doped Drain) structure is studied with variation of the region of channel and LDD. The channel in LDMOSFET encloses a junction-type source and is believed to be an important parameter for determining the circuit operation of CMOS inverter. Two-dimensional TCAD MEDICI simulation is used to study hot-carrier effect, on-resistance Ron, breakdown voltage, and transient switching characteristic. The voltage-transfer characteristics and on-off switching properties are studied as a function of the channel length and doping levels. The digital logic levels of the output and input voltages are analyzed from the transfer curves and circuit operation. Study indicates that drain current significantly depends on the channel length rather than the LDD region, while the switching transient time is almost independent of the channel length. The high and low logic levels of the input voltage showed a strong dependency on the channel length, while the lateral substrate resistance from a latch-up path in the CMOS inverter was comparable to that of a typical CMOS inverter with a guard ring.

Deep submicron NMOSFETs with elevated source/drain can be fabricated using self-aligned selective epitaxial growth(SEG) of silicon for enhanced device characteristics with shallow junction compared to conventional MOSFETs. Shallow junctions, especially with the heartily-doped S/D residing in the elevated layer, give hotter immunity to Yt roll off, drain-induced-barrier-lowering (DIBL), subthreshold swing (SS), punch-through, and hot carrier effects. In this paper, the characteristics of both deep submicron elevated source/drain NMOSFETs and conventional NMOSFETs were investigated by using TSUPREM-4 and MEDICI simulators, and then the results were compared. It was observed from the simulation results that deep submicron elevated S/D NMOSFETs having shallower junction depth resulted in reduced short channel effects, such as DIBL, SS, and hot carrier effects than conventional NMOSFETs. The saturation current, Idsat, of the elevated S/D NMOSFETs was higher than conventional NMOSFETs with identical device dimensions due to smaller sheet resistance in source/drain regions. However, the gate-to-drain capacitance increased in the elevated S/D MOSFETs compared with the conventional NMOSFETs because of increasing overlap area. Therefore, it is concluded that elevated S/D MOSFETs may result in better device characteristics including current drivability than conventional NMOSFETs, but there exists trade-off between device characteristics and fate-to-drain capacitance.

Various power semiconductor devices have been developed and evolved since 1950s. Among them, IGBT is the most developed power semiconductor device which has high breakdown voltage, high current conduction and suitable switching speed which perform trade-offs between each other. In other words, there are trade-offs between a breakdown voltage and on-state voltage drop, and between on-state voltage drop and turn-off time. In this paper, the new structure is proposed to improve a trade-off between a breakdown voltage and on-state voltage drop. The proposed structure has a trench collector and this trench collector induces an accumulation layer at the bottom of an n-drift region during off-state. And this accumulation layer prevents expansion of depletion layer so that trapezoidal electric field distribution is performed in the n-drift region. As a result of this, breakdown voltage is increased without increasing on-state voltage drop. The electrical characteristics of the proposed IGBT is analyzed and optimized by using representative device simulator, TSUPREM4 and MEDICI. After optimization, the electrical characteristics of the proposed IGBT is compared with NPT IGBT which have the same device thickness. As a result of this, it can be confirmed that the proposed structure increases the breakdown voltage of 800 V than that of the conventional NPT IGBT without increasing the on-state voltage drop.

In this work, we present a unified analytical surface potential model, valid for both PD and FD SOI MOSFETs. Our model is based on a simplified one dimensional and purely analytical approach, and builds upon an existing model, proposed by Yu et al. [4], which is one of the most recent compact analytical surface potential models for SOI MOSFETs available in the literature, to improve its accuracy and remove its inconsistencies, thereby adding to its robustness. The model given by Yu et al. [4] fails entirely in modeling the variation of the front surface potential with respect to the changes in the substrate voltage, which has been corrected in our modified model. Also, [4] produces self-inconsistent results due to misinterpretation of the operating mode of an SOI device. The source of this error has been traced in our work and a criterion has been postulated so as to avoid any such error in future. Additionally, a completely new expression relating the front and back surface potentials of an FD SOI film has been proposed in our model, which unlike other models in the literature, takes into account for the first time in analytical one dimensional modeling of SOI MOSFETs, the contribution of the increasing inversion charge concentration in the silicon film, with increasing gate voltage, in the strong inversion region. With this refinement, the maximum percent error of our model in the prediction of the back surface potential of the SOI film amounts to only 3.8% as compared to an error of about 10% produced by the model of Yu et al. [4], both with respect to MEDICI simulation results.
