Abstract An output switching malfunction was reported on a bridge driver IC. The electrical verification testing revealed evidence of an earlier over current condition resulting from an abnormal voltage sense during a switching event. Based on these test results, we developed the hypothesis that a threshold voltage mismatch existed between the sense transistor and the output transistor. This paper describes the failure analysis approach we used to characterize the threshold voltage mismatch as well as our approach to determine the root cause, which was trapped charge on the gate oxide of the sense transistor.

Abstract In this paper, we report a device model that has successfully described the characteristics of an anomalous CMOS NFET and led to the identification of a non-visual defect. The model was based on detailed electrical characterization of a transistor exhibiting a threshold voltage (Vt) of about 120mv lower than normal and also exhibiting source to drain leakage. Using a simple graphical simulation, we predicted that the anomalous device was a transistor in parallel with a resistor. It was proposed that the resistor was due to a counter doping defect. This was confirmed using Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM). The dopant defect was shown by TEM imaging to be caused by a crystalline silicon dislocation.

Abstract In this paper, we report a transistor model that has successfully led to the identification of a non visual defect. This model was based on detailed electrical characterization of a MOS NFET exhibiting a threshold voltage (Vt) of just about 40mv lower than normal. This small Vt delta was based on standard graphical extrapolation method in the usual linear Id-Vg plots. We observed, using a semilog plot, two slopes in the Id-Vg curves with Vt delta magnified significantly in the subthreshold region. The two slopes were attributed to two transistors in parallel with different Vts. We further found that one of the parallel transistors had short channel effect due to a punch-through mechanism. It was proposed and ultimately confirmed the cause was due to a dopant defect using scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) technique.
