摘要
Poly-gate depletion during the accelerated time-dependent breakdown (TDDB) test of single-doping-type capacitors (both electrodes of the same doping type) results in an overestimate of dielectric lifetime at operation voltage. Simple high-field data extrapolation falls to take into account the voltage-dependent poly band bending. We found a three orders of magnitude overestimate of lifetime at 5 V for 68-angstrom oxide equivalent poly/poly capacitors. After correcting for the poly depletion effects, the slope of the TDDB projection line decreases by 18%. The effects can be minimized by performing TDDB testing below the top poly inversion voltage. Calculated maximum allowable TDDB voltages for different gate doping and oxide thickness are presented as guidelines for test design.
