CMOS reliability is facing unprecedented challenges due to the continued scaling of device dimensions. To sustain the current scaling trends, it is imperative to understand the fundamental physics of failure mechanisms. Due to the inherent complexity

Semiconductor industry has increasingly resorted to strain as a means of realizing the required node-to-node transistor performance improvements. Straining silicon fundamentally changes the mechanical, electrical (band structure and mobility), and ch

Heavy species such as Sb, In, and Ge are required to meet the challenges of future dopant engineering in planar CMOS technology. An understanding of the interactions of these species with each other and with conventional dopants is urgently required

Using ab initio density functional theory the configuration space of indium clusters in silicon up to size 4 is explored. The strongest binding energy corresponds to a cluster containing one indium and three self-interstitials. Two plausible configur

A nitride spacer with an underlying deposited tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) oxide that behaves as a convenient etch stop layer is a popular choice for sidewall spacer in modern complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process flows. In this work, we

Ion implantation of silicon introduces excess point defects that quickly recombine during annealing leaving net interstitial and vacancy populations. For higher energy implants, the separation between interstitials and vacancies is larger, leading to

Boron exhibits anomalous diffusion during the initial phases of ion implant annealing. Boron transient enhanced diffusion is characterized by enhanced tail diffusion coupled with an electrically inactive immobile peak. The immobile peak is due to clu

This paper reviews recent experiments that have shown that the probable mechanism for low voltage trap generation and dielectric breakdown is anode hydrogen release. Vibrational excitation of silicon-hydrogen bonds is the process that provides the mo

Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is known to exhibit significant recovery upon removal of the gate voltage. The process dependence of this recovery behavior is studied by using the time slope (n) as the monitor. We observe a systematic va

We show for the first time that trap generation and breakdown in ultra thin SiON gate dielectrics are triggered by the release of two hydrogen species (H+ and H0) from the anode during TDDB stress
