Abstract: An analytical model of flicker noise (also called 1/f or low frequency noise) for the drift region is developed to formulate a 1/f model for high voltage MOSFETs using the subcircuit approach in this work. For halo doped drain extended MOSFET (DEMOS), the contribution factors of halo, channel and drift regions are obtained to capture anomalous behavior of 1/f noise. Similar to Halo doped DEMOS, for LDMOS, the contribution factors for channel and the drift region are obtained to capture the SID for different drain biases and channel lengths. The proposed model is validated with measurement data of 50V LDMOS and DEMOS.

Fig: Halo doped DEMOS and its sub-circuit equivalent. In halo doped DEMOS, the channel is divided into halo region and channel region, followed by drift region. In LDMOS, the channel is followed by the drift region. CFsh, CFch, and CFdrift are the contribution factors and are calculated using small-signal analysis.

Abstract: MIS structures with double-layer HfO2/SiO2 gate stacks were fabricated. The admittance measurements revealed an anomalous voltage shift of the capacitance-voltage characteristics, modulated by the ac signal frequency. The effect is discussed in terms of the oxide charge modulation through the frequency dependent leakage mechanism.

  • An anomalous effect of the ac-signal frequency on the voltage shift of the CV characteristics of Al/HfO2/SiO2/Si devices was observed.
  • The observed effect is stable, reproducible, and reversible and is not driven by the measurement procedure or the measurement protocol parameters.
  • The effect is explained through a frequency dependent leakage conductance which affects the electric charge trapped interior the gate stack.
  • A linear dependence of the leakage conductance on the ac signal frequency is observed.
