This work presents a comparison between28-nm technology and 0.2-lm technology to analyze the impact of strike location on SET sensitivity in FDSOI devices. Simulation results show that the most SET-sensitive region in FDSOI transistors is the drain region near the gate. An in-depth analysis shows that the bipolar amplification effect in FDSOI devices is dependent on the strike locations. In addition, when the drain contact is moved toward the drain direction, the most sensitive region drifts toward the drain and collects more charge. This provides theoretical guidance for SET hardening.展开更多
This paper reports that the Si＋ self-ion-implantation are conducted on the silicon-on-insulator wafers with the 2SSi＋ doses of 7 ×1012, 1 × 1013, 4 × 1013, and 3× 1014 cm-2, respectively.

After the suitable annealing, these samples are characterized by using the photoluminescence technique at different recorded temperatures. Plentiful emission peaks are observed in these implanted silicon-on-insulator samples, including the unwonted intense P~ band which exhibits a great potential in the optoelectronic application. These results indicate that severe transformation of the interstitial clusters can be manipulated by the implanting dose at suitable annealing temperatures. The high critical temperatures for the photoluminescence intensity growth of the two signatures are well discussed based on the thermal ionization model of free exciton.展开更多

The results indicate that the main SET generation mechanism is not carder drift/diffusion but floating body effect （FBE） whether for positive or negative channel metal oxide semiconductor （PMOS or NMOS）. Two stacking layout designs mitigating FBE are investigated as well, and the results indicate that the in-line stacking （IS） layout can mitigate FBE completely and is area penalty saving compared with the conventional stacking layout.展开更多

The total dose radiation responses of the nitrogen-implanted SOI wafers are characterized by the high frequency capacitance-voltage （C-V） technique after irradi- ation using a Co-60 source. It is found that there exist relatively complex relationships between the radiation hardness of the nitrogen implanted BOX and the nitrogen implantation dose at different irradiation doses. The experimental results also suggest that a lower dose nitrogen implantation and a higher post-implantation annealing temperature are suitable for improving the radiation hardness of SOI wafer. Based on the measured C V data, secondary ion mass spectrometry （SIMS）, and Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectroscopy, the total dose responses of the nitrogen-implanted SOI wafers are discussed.展开更多

T...The hardening of the buried oxide （BOX） layer of separation by implanted oxygen （SIMOX） silicon-on-insulator （SOI） wafers against total-dose irradiation was investigated by implanting ions into the BOX layers. The tolerance to total-dose irradiation of the BOX layers was characterized by the comparison of the transfer characteristics of SOI NMOS transistors before and after irradiation to a total dose of 2.7 Mrad（SiO2）. The experimental results show that the implantation of silicon ions into the BOX layer can improve the tolerance of the BOX layers to total-dose irradiation. The investigation of the mechanism of the improvement suggests that the deep electron traps introduced by silicon implantation play an important role in the remarkable improvement in radiation hardness of SIMOX SOI wafers.展开更多

The effect of annealing time on the radiation hardness of the nitrogen implanted wafers has been studied by the high frequency capacitance-voltage technique. The results suggest that the improvement of the radiation hardness of the wafers can be achieved through a shorter time annealing after nitrogen implantation. The nitrogen-implanted sample with the shortest annealing time 0.5 h shows the highest tolerance to total-dose radiation. In particular, for the 1.0 and 1.5 h annealing samples, both total dose responses were unusual. After 300-krad（Si） irradiation, both the shifts of capacitance-voltage curve reached a maximum, respectively, and then decreased with increasing total dose. In addition, the wafers were analysed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique, and some useful results have been obtained.展开更多

The four-element topological network and the conformal mapping technique are used to analyse the capacitance and the conductance of the sandwich substrate. The validity of the model is verified by the full-wave method and the experimental data. It is found that the inductance, the resistance, the capacitance and the conductance from the analytical model show they are in good agreement with the corresponding values extracted from experimental Sparameter until 10 GHz.展开更多

The Early effect of the SOI SiGe HBT is analysed considering vertical and horizontal collector depletion, which is different from that of a bulk counterpart. A new compact formula of the Early voltage is presented and validated by an ISE TCAD simulation. The Early voltage shows a kink with the increase of the reverse base-collector bias. Large differences are observed between SOI devices and their bulk counterparts. The presented Early effect model can be employed for a fast evaluation of the Early voltage and is useful to the design, the simulation and the fabrication of high performance SOI SiCe devices and circuits.展开更多
