Abstract(in English) We investigated the effects of plasma process-induced physical damage (bombardment of ions) on MOSFET performance degradation. We focus on "Si recess" in the source / drain extension region - Si loss by a subsequent wet-etch of the damaged-layer formed during plasma etch processes. We present a model describing the relationship between the energy of incident ion, Si recess depth d_R, and the threshold voltage shift ΔV_ of MOSFET. Based on the analytic model, we then propose a unified framework for predicting the MOSFET parameter fluctuation induced by the plasma process damage. The model prediction suggests an increase in ΔV_-variation by Si recess structure (d_R). We also estimate an enhancement of the subthreshold leakage-current fluctuation by the Si recess structure.
