The assumptions behind a new lifetesting approach are documented, evaluated, and tested where possible. This approach utilizes “signature parameters” to track individual degradation mechanisms in both DC and RF lifetests, and determines the mean

A reliability study has been conducted on capacitors made with 100 nm of silicon nitride, in an InP HEMT MMIC fabrication process. Special wafers were fabricated, containing 1482 200 /spl mu/m/spl times/200 /spl mu/m capacitors each, and these were p

Thermal resistances in InP-based HBTs have been determined by electrical measurement and finite-difference calculation. These devices contain substantial layers of ternary alloys, whose thermal conductivities are not well documented, although they ar

The reliability of AlInAs/GaInAs high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) monolithic microwave integrated circuits on InP substrates from HRL Labs has been studied with elevated-temperature lifetests on Ka-band LNAs, as well as ramped-voltage tests o

We have conducted accelerated lifetesting on discrete HBTs fabricated with the IBM SiGe5HP HBT technology, and determined the dependence of the wear-out on emitter interconnect temperature and current density. The wearout occurred by degradation of D

Summary form only given. It has been pointed out by Henderson (1996) and others that HBTs are vulnerable to recombination-enhanced defect reactions (REDRs), which can lead to formation of crystal defects with activation energies (E/sub a/'s) as low a

We have used high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), with focused-ion-beam preparation of foils, to study InP HBT devices, both as-fabricated and after aging in life tests. The technology is HRL's G1 process. We found that even afte

Design translation is demonstrated at X-Band utilizing a multifunction MMIC as a test vehicle. The MMIC circuit consisting of a switch, LNA and attenuator is fabricated using PHEMT materials at two different GaAs foundries (Hughes and Martin Marietta

Accelerated lifetests have been conducted on AlInAs-GaInAs HBT devices on InP wafers. Current densities were relatively high, while junction temperatures were low enough (125 and 160/spl deg/C) to provide a check for low activation energy failures. 4

We report on reliability tests on InP HEMT MMICs by two approaches. First we describe elevated-temperature lifetests on Ka-band LNA MMICs, for studying all thermally-driven degradation mechanisms. Then we describe ramped-voltage studies of separate c
