چکیده انگلیسی
The physical origin of majority charge carrier fluctuations in the SiO2 interface of Si at accumulation has been investigated and analyzed for differently processed and voltage-rated reduced surface field (RESURF), lateral-double-diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistors. Surface carrier mobility fluctuation due to remote Coulomb scattering by the trapped charge in the gate oxide is identified as the dominant physical mechanism for LDMOS 1/f noise irrespective of process technologies. A significant contribution to the measured noise has been noted from the surface majority carrier mobility fluctuation due to trapped charge at the accumulation region of the extended drain region, dominant over other sources including the surface minority charge carrier fluctuations in the channel. Active oxide trap density was characterized spatially and for the first time up to â¼0.4Â eV above the conduction band-edge of Si. The interface trap density in the unstressed devices (â¼8Â ÃÂ 106Â cmâ2) increased more than an order of magnitude (â¼1Â ÃÂ 108Â cmâ2) after the devices were stressed for 10,000Â sec at their individual worst drain current and on-resistance degradation conditions. The extracted Si/SiO2 interface trap density above the silicon conduction band edge was found to be several orders of magnitude lower than that reported for silicon mid-gap energies, even after stressing. Since the traps near the quasi-Fermi level for electrons are active in trapping-detrapping, and the Fermi level is energetically positioned above the conduction band edge of Si in the investigated devices as compared to the previously reported observations, the lower trap density obtained here is an indication for reversal of the well-known exponential trap energy distribution beyond the conduction band-edge of Si. These findings shift the focus from the channel to the gate overlap section of the extended drain and the quality of the Si/SiO2 interface in that region.
