Abstract

An ultrafast on-the-fly technique is developed to study linear drain current (IDLIN) degradation in plasma and thermal oxynitride p-MOSFETs during Negative-bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) stress. The technique enhances the measurement resolution (ldquotime-zerordquo delay) down to 1 mus and helps to identify several key differences in NBTI behavior between plasma and thermal films. The impact of the time-zero delay on time, temperature and bias dependence of NBTI is studied and its influence on extrapolated safe-operating overdrive condition is analyzed. It is shown that plasma-nitrided films, in spite of having higher N density, are less susceptible to NBTI than their thermal counterparts.
