Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Stress Induced Leakage Current (SILC) distributions of a large number of small nMOS transistors with different gate size (1×1 ?m2, 0.5×0.5 ?m2, 0.25×0.25 ?m2) were measured with array test circuit. As a result, it was found that the localized large SILC distribution is normalized by SILC defect density, not the gate current density. With the results, SILC defect density per unit gate area on each stress and measurement condition was calculated. Additionally, the SILC defect density drastically decreased when the Si surface was atomically flattened compared to the conventional samples. These results can be a key to reveal the SILC generation mechanism.
