Abstract: Accurately modeling the I-V characteristics and current degradation for transistors is central to predicting circuit end-of-life behavior. In this work, we propose a machine learning model to accurately model current degradation at various stress conditions and extend that to make nominal use-bias predictions. The model can be extended to track and predict any parametric change. We show an excellent agreement of the model with experimental results. Furthermore, we use a deep neural network to model the I-V characteristics of aged transistors over a wide drain and gate playback bias range and show an excellent agreement with experimental results. We show that the model is reliably able to interpolate and extrapolate demonstrating that it learns the underlying functional form of the data.

Abstract: Accurate prediction of device aging plays a vital role in the circuit design of advanced-node CMOS technologies. In particular, hot-carrier induced aging is so complicated that its modeling is often significantly simplified, with focus limited to digital circuits. We present here a novel reliability-aware compact modeling method that can accurately capture the full post-stress I-V characteristics of the MOSFET, taking into account the impact of drain depletion region on induced defects.

Abstract: An analytical device aging modelling framework, ranging from microscopic degradation physics up to the aged I-V characteristics, is demonstrated. We first expand our reliability oriented I-V compact model, now including temperature and body-bias effects; second, we propose an analytical solution for channel carrier profiling which-compared to our previous work-circumvents the need of TCAD aid; third, through Poisson's equation, we convert the extracted carrier density profile into channel lateral and oxide electric fields; fourth, we represent the device as an equivalent ballistic MOSFETs chain to enable channel “slicing” and propagate local degradation into the aged I-V characteristics, without requiring computationally-intensive self-consistent calculations. The local degradation in each channel “slice” is calculated with physics-based reliability models (2-state NMP, SVE/MVE). The demonstrated aging modelling framework is verified against TCAD and validated across a broad range of VG/VD/T stress conditions in a scaled finFET technology.
