Under nanoscale, the present invention proposes the dynamic fluctuation of the NBTI of semiconductor devices in the time of end of life and must treat by three-dimensional viewpoint.Due to the impact of CCV and DDV, the normal working voltage VDD that nanoscale semiconductor devices can meet 10 year life-span is no longer definite value, has numerous VDD all can meet the semiconductor devices life requirements of 10 years.The dynamic fluctuation of three-dimensional NBTI during for end of life, a dimension is VDD, under each VDD, the dynamic fluctuation of NBTI when end of life is two-dimensional problems: the fluctuation of the average that dimension is each device degradation between device, another dimension is the fluctuation between device of the variance of each device degradation.
Technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
A method for the dynamic fluctuation of NBTI while predicting semiconductor devices end of life, is applied to the semiconductor devices of nanoscale, it is characterized in that, first, by the source voltage V of semiconductor devices swith bulk voltage V ball the time be set to 0, then, carry out following testing procedure:
The first step, applies voltage V at semiconductor device gate end gmeasure, drain terminal applies voltage V dmeasure, the drain terminal electric current I of semiconductor devices before measurement stress d0; Then apply primary stress voltage V at grid end gstress_1, drain terminal is in zero offset, and stress time is Δ t, applies in process at stress, and gate voltage is at V gstress_1and V gmeasurebetween cycling jump, simultaneously drain voltage is 0 and V dmeasurebetween cycling jump; In each circulation, gate voltage is V gstress_1time t 0maximal value be less than 10ms; When gate voltage is V gmeasure, drain voltage is V dmeasuretime monitor leakage current I d, the corresponding I of above-mentioned circulation each time dmonitoring, this is defined as to a test loop;
Second step, the stress voltage applying at grid end doubly increases with K, K>1, i.e. V gstress_2=KV gstress_1, drain terminal is still in zero offset, and stress time is still Δ t, applies in process at stress, and gate voltage is at V gstress_2and V gmeasurebetween cycling jump, simultaneously drain voltage is 0 and V dmeasurebetween cycling jump, in each circulation, gate voltage is in V gstress_2and V gmeasuretime identical with first step correspondence; When gate voltage is V gmeasure, drain voltage is V dmeasureshi Jixu monitoring leakage current I d; And then the stress voltage of grid end is doubly increased with K, repeated test, obtains the test result of N time, wherein V gstress_N=K (N-1)v gstress_1, the applying method of drain voltage applying method and the first step is identical; Carry out continuously from the process of the 1st time to the N time, do not have interval; The amount of degradation Δ V of threshold voltage thobtained by formula below:
&Delta;V th = I D 0 - I D I D 0 ( V Gmeasure - V th 0 ) - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, I dthe leakage current at every turn measuring after stress application, V th0it is the threshold voltage of semiconductor devices before stress;
The 3rd step, due to the degeneration Δ V of NBTI stress threshold voltages thmeet,
&Delta;V th = AV Gstress m t n - - - ( 2 )
