A channel width measuring 3 m to 20 m is recommended, unless another channel width is essential. 4.1.3 Structure It is rec

39、or Nch MOSFET, the gate electrode is biased to positive. For Pch MOSFET, the gate electrode is biased to negative. It is preferable to test polarity for both Nch and Pch. For the Go/NoGo test, the temperature and the electric field may be one point, respectively. If the projected life time is of con

40、cern, the temperature and the electric field may be more than two points, respectively, to obtain the activation energy and electric field acceleration factor. 5.2.1 Stress temperature The recommended range is 150 C to 250 C. EN 62373:2006 10 5.2.2 Eoxelectric field strength The recommended range is

41、 4 MV/cm to 8 MV/cm. For the Nch MOSFET, the gate electrode is biased to positive. For the Pch MOSFET, the gate electrode is biased to negative. Source, drain and substrate (well) are connected to ground. The bias is applied between the gate and ground (see Figure 4). IEC 1185/06Figure 4 MOSFET BT t

43、ET Field MOSFET can be tested in a similar manner with the following considerations. 5.3.1 Channel length (gate length) Channel length is the minimum isolation length of the targeted technology. Longer channel lengths may be added if necessary. 5.3.2 Electrical characteristics Most of the electrical

44、 characteristics may be immeasurable except for Vth-cior ID, leakat typical supply voltage. 5.3.3 Stress electric field Typically, the stress electric field is smaller than that of the nominal MOSFET test because the thickness of the field oxide is thicker than that of the gate oxide. It is recommen

45、ded that the gate-source voltage of the field MOSFET is twice that of the usual supply voltage. 11 EN 62373:2006 5.4 Judgement Calculate the Vthshift from its initial value or relative change of other parameters (except for ID, leak). For the Go/NoGo test, the Vthshift or other parameter change is c

46、ompared with pre-defined criteria. If the shift or the change exceeds the criteria, a “fail” judgment is made. An example of the pre-defined criteria is Vth= 0,1 V or IDS, sat / initial IDS, sat= 10 %. To obtain the projected lifetime, lifetime is calculated with an activation energy and electric fi

47、eld acceleration factor. Though the allowable degradation which defines the lifetime is dependent on the circuit design or the field use condition, typical allowable degradation is Vth= 0,1 V or IDS, sat / initial IDS, sat= 10 %. The relation between lifetime, temperature and electric field is give

48、by Equation (4) or Equation (5). The electric field acceleration model is different between Equation (4) and Equation (5). Because it is still unknown which one is correct, it is recommended to confirm the acceleration model by additional electric field dependency experiments. =OXexpKexpAaEBTE (4) w
