Abstract(in English) Reliability issues, such as plasma-induced damage (PID) and Bias Temperature Instability (BTI), become dominant on integrated circuits. We measure initial frequencies on ring oscillators with an antenna in one stage in 65-nm bulk and SOTB (Silicon On Thin BOX) processes. Initial frequency variations are converted to threshold voltage shifts. Impacts on initial frequencies and threshold voltages by PID are evaluated. We show that PID can be relieved using the drain-connection-structures in which an antenna is connected to drain first or at the same time as a gate, but the amount of relaxation of PID becomes small when an antenna has a big perimeter. We also reveal that threshold voltage increases with antenna ratio in the drain-connection-structures.
