The Impact

This work studies the effects of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) on p-channel MOSFETS with TiN/HfSi x O y (20% SiO 2 based high-κ gate stacks under different gate bias and elevated temperature conditions. For low bias conditions, threshold voltage shift (ΔVT) is most probably due to the mixed degradation within the bulk high-κ. For moderately high bias conditions, H-species dissociation in the presence of holes and subsequent diffusion may be initially responsible for interface state and positively charged bulk trap generation. Initial time, temperature and oxide electric field dependence of ΔVT in our devices shows an excellent match with that of SiO 2 based devices, which is explained by reaction-diffusion (R-D) model of NBTI. Under high bias condition at elevated temperatures, due to higher Si - H bond-annealing/bond-breaking ratio, the experimentally observed absence of the impact ionization induced hot holes at the interfacial layer (IL)/ Si interface probably limits the interface state generation and ΔVT as they quickly reach saturation.

Digital Multipliers

High speed digital multipliers are most efficiently used in many applications such as Fourier transform, discrete cosine transforms, and digital filtering. The throughput of the multipliers is based on speed of the multiplier, and then the entire performance of the circuit depends on it. The pMOS transistor in negative bias cause negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), which increases the threshold voltage of the transistor and reduces the multiplier speed. Similarly, the nMOS transistor in positive bias cause positive bias temperature instability (PBTI).These effects reduce the transistor speed and the system may fail due to timing violations. So here a new multiplier was designed with novel adaptive hold logic (AHL) using Radix-4 Modified Booth Multiplier. By using Radix-4 Modified Booth Encoding (MBE), we can reduce the number of partial products by half. Modified booth multiplier helps to provide higher throughput with low power consumption. This can adjust the AHL circuit to reduce the performance degradation. The expected result will be reduce threshold voltage, increase throughput and speed and also reduce power. This modified multiplier design is coded by Verilog and simulated using Xilinx ISE 12.1 and implemented in Spartan 3E FPGA kit.

The Impact

ABSTRACTThis paper studies the impact of LTPS (low temperature polycrystalline silicon) TFTs with fluorine implantation under NBTI (Negative bias temperature instability) stress. The fluorinated TFTs' devices can obtain better characteristics with samller threshold voltage shift, lower trap states and lower subthreshold swing variation. Therefore, the fluorine implantation does not only improve initial electrical characteristics, but also suppresses the NBTI-induced degradation.
