  • The stress effect of SiGe p-type metal oxide semiconductors field effect transistors(MOSFETs) has been investigated to compare device properties using Si bulk and partially depleted silicon on insulator(PD SOI). The electrical properties in SiGe PD SOI presented enhancements in subthreshold slope and drain induced barrier lowering in comparison to SiGe bulk. The reliability of gate oxides on bulk Si and PD SOI has been evaluated using constant voltage stressing to investigate their breakdown (~ 8.5 V) characteristics. Gate leakage was monitored as a function of voltage stressing time to understand the breakdown phenomena for both structures. Stress induced leakage currents are obtained from I-V measurements at specified stress intervals. The 1/f noise was observed to follow the typical $1/f^{\gamma}$ (${\gamma}\;=\;1$) in SiGe bulk devices, but the abnormal behavior ${\gamma}\;=\;2$ in SiGe PD SOI. The difference of noise frequency exponent is mainly attributed to traps at silicon oxide interfaces. We will discuss stress induced instability in conjunction with the 1/f noise characteristics in detail.

  • In general, the expected life of power semiconductor elements is known for semi-permanent, but actual characteristics are changed according to the such environment conditions obviously because of using time or operating condition. Specially, in case of using at the power plant it is very important to sustain reliability for power semiconductor which it affect to stop operating condition as deterioration or break. Therefore, we need to apply maintenance technics to got the reliability which is a prediction method of life cycle. This paper shows the result of the analyzed data for element characteristic and effects used practically and we had developed the effective equipment which for diagnostic the semiconductor performance.

  • Microelectronics device performance and its reliability are directly related to and controlled by its constituent materials and their microstructure. Specific processes used to form and shape the materials microstructure need to be controlled in order to achieve the ultimate device performance. Examples of front-end and back-end ULSI processes, packaging process, and novel optical storage materials are given to illustrate such process-structure-property-reliability relationship. As more novel materials are introduced to meet the new requirements for device shrinkage, such under-standing is indispensable for future generation process development and reliability assessment.

  • The quality of the display can be managed by effectively managing the temperature generated by the panel during use. Conventional display panels rely on an external reference resistor for temperature monitoring. However, this approach is easily affected by external factors such as temperature variations from the driving circuit and chips. These variations reduce reliability, causing complicated mounting owing to the external chip, and cannot monitor the individual pixel temperatures. However, this issue can be simply and efficiently addressed by integrating temperature sensors during the display panel manufacturing process. In this study, we fabricated and analyzed a temperature sensor integrated into an a-IGZO (amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide) TFT array that was to precisely monitor temperature and prevent the deterioration of OLED display pixels. The temperature sensor was positioned on top of the oxide TFT. Simultaneously, it worked as a light shield layer, contributing to the reliability of the oxide. The characteristics of the array with integrated temperature sensors were measured and analyzed while adjusting the temperature in real-time. By integrating a temperature sensor into the TFT array, monitoring the temperature of the display became easier and more accurate. This study could contribute to managing the lifetime of the display.
