SiC MOSFET栅极氧化层缺陷检测

SiC以其耐高压,高频,高温和高功率密度的材料特性,广泛应用于高效电能转换领域。而其栅氧化层可靠性是评价器件可靠性的重要部分。本文根据SIC MOSFET结构特性和栅氧化层缺陷的形成机理,对一批应力筛选实验失效的样品进行研究,提出了一种针对SIC-MOSFET的栅氧化层缺陷检测方法。方法使用了正面和背面失效EMMI定位了相同缺陷位置,同时利用聚焦离子束分析等方法找到了栅氧化层物理损伤点,对碳化硅晶圆级别异物缺陷完成了成分分析,验证了晶圆级栅极氧化层异物缺陷对于栅氧化层质量和可靠性的影响,对于SiC MOSFET的早期失效研究有着重要的参考作用。

Multi-Defect Generation Behavior in Ultra Thin Oxide Under DT Stresses

The saturation behavior of stress current is studied.The three types of precursor sites for trap generation are also introduced by fitting method based on first order rate equation.A further investigation by statistics experiments shows that there are definite relationships among time constant of trap generation,the time to breakdown,and stress voltage.It also means that the time constant of trap generation can be used to predict oxide lifetime.This method is faster for TDDB study compared with usual breakdown experiments.
