In the prior art, generally using capacitance-voltage method, 1/f noise analytic approach, grid-control leakage lining PN junction method etc. quantitatively The quantity of measure interface defect, but the several method all there is respective defect so that test result is not accurate enough.Therefore, this Inventive embodiments utilize charge pump(Charge Pumping)The quantity of technology measure interface defect, is tested using charge pumping technique Physical model it is more visible, can directly reflect the quantity of boundary defect, and be easy to test.
Fig. 3 is refer to, to utilize the measurement structural representation of charge pumping technique measure interface defects count, including:Partly lead Body substrate 200;Grid structure 210 positioned at the surface of Semiconductor substrate 200, the grid structure 210 includes being located at semiconductor lining The gate dielectric layer 211 on the surface of bottom 200 and the gate electrode 212 positioned at the surface of gate dielectric layer 211;Positioned at 210 liang of the grid structure Source region 230 and drain region 240 in the Semiconductor substrate 200 of side, the Semiconductor substrate 200 and one end phase of an ammeter 250 Connection, the ammeter 250 is used for the size for testing the alternating current for flowing through Semiconductor substrate 200;The source region 230 and drain region 240 are electrically connected and are connected with one end of dc source 260, and the other end of the dc source 260 is another with ammeter 250 One end is connected, and causes that the PN junction between source region 230, drain region 240 and Semiconductor substrate 200 is anti-using the dc source 260 Partially.In the present embodiment, illustrated by taking nmos pass transistor as an example, the Semiconductor substrate 200 is adulterated for p-type, the source region 230th, drain region 240 is n-type doping, and in other embodiments, the MOS transistor can also be PMOS transistor.
During using charge pumping technique measure interface defects count, apply specific frequency, specific width on the gate electrode 212 The voltage pulse signal of degree.It refer to Fig. 4, threshold voltage V of the voltage pulse signal across test MOS transistorthPeace V with voltagefb, i.e., threshold voltage V of the high level more than the test MOS transistor of described voltage pulse signalth, the electricity The low level of pressure pulse signal is less than flat-band voltage Vfb.In the present embodiment, the high level phase of each voltage pulse signal Together, low level is also all identical.In other embodiments, the high level of each voltage pulse signal, low level can also Differ, but threshold voltage V of at least part high level more than the MOS transistor of whole voltage pulse signalth, whole electricity At least part low level of pressure pulse signal is less than flat-band voltage Vfb.And when rise time, the decline of the voltage pulse signal Between be respectively less than boundary defect transmitting time constant.
When the voltage that gate electrode 212 applies is the high level of voltage pulse signal, at the channel region surface of MOS transistor In anti-type state, electronics flows to channel region from source region 230, drain region 240, and a portion is captured by boundary defect.When grid electricity When the voltage that pole 212 applies is changed into the low level of voltage pulse signal, channel region will be changed into accumulated state, the movable electricity of channel region Subflow can source region 230 and drain region 240, but rise time, fall time due to voltage pulse signal be respectively less than boundary defect hair The time constant penetrated, the electronics captured by boundary defect, especially those be located at compared with deep energy level boundary defect capture electronics, Have little time to be transmitted back to conduction band, and with the hole-recombination of Semiconductor substrate 200.Similarly, when gate electrode 212 apply voltage again When being changed into the high level of voltage pulse signal, boundary defect has little time transmitting so that the hole of valence band and source region 230 and drain region 240 electronics is combined.Therefore, from the point of view of whole cycle, source region and leakage are flowed to equivalent to one is generated by Semiconductor substrate The electric current in area, the electric current is referred to as charge pump current.
Fig. 5 is refer to, when the bias between Semiconductor substrate 200 and source region 230, drain region 240 is differed, corresponding electricity Lotus pump electric current is also differed, in the present embodiment, when the bias between Semiconductor substrate 200 and source region 230, drain region 240 for- During 0.6V~-0.8V, charge pump current is maximum Icpmax, now correspond to the quantity as grid structure of the boundary defect measured Whole boundary defect quantity between 210 and Semiconductor substrate 200.The expression formula of the charge pump current maximum is:
Icpmax=q Δs EfWLNit
Wherein q is electron charge, and Δ E is the boundary defect energy range of chief of the Xiongnu in Acient China's charge pump current, and f is pulse frequency, W, L For the wide of channel region and long, NitFor average surface defect concentration.From above-mentioned formula it can be seen that the quantity WLN of boundary defectitWith Charge pump current maximum IcpmaxIt is proportional, average surface defect concentration NitWith charge pump current maximum IcpmaxIt is proportional.Together When due to the quantity and temperature of boundary defect it is proportional, therefore, the charge pump current maximum IcpmaxIt is proportional with temperature, only Need to measure the charge pump current maximum I of the MOS transistorcpmax, you can obtain the real time temperature of MOS transistor.
