Influence of dummy active patterns on mechanical stress induced by spin-on-glass-filled shallow trench isolation in n-MOSFETs

This paper proposes an electrical method of extracting mechanical stress in n-MOSFETs and analyzes the influence of dummy active patterns on mechanical stress induced by spin-on-glass-filled shallow trench isolation (SOG-filled STI).

description This paper proposes an electrical method of extracting mechanical stress in n-MOSFETs and analyzes the influence of dummy active patterns on mechanical stress induced by spin-on-glass-filled shallow trench isolation (SOG-filled STI). The proposed method requires only the maximum transconductance g m ,max and measured subthreshold current I d ( sub .), eliminating the effect of deviations of the mobility μ and effective channel length L eff that occurred in a previous method using μ. In addition, it eliminates the measurement error due to the drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect in a previous method using I d ( sub .). The tensile stress σ t in the experimental n-MOSFETs was measured as several hundred mega Pascals. An increase of separation distance d between dummy active regions and the Si active region resulted in a decrease of σ t for d > 0.2 μm. But, σ t decreased when d decreased from 0.2 to 0.09 μm.
