Abstract
In this review paper reliability characterisation methods of SiO2 as gate dielectric and metal-insulator-metal capacitors with various dielectrics are discussed. It includes the test structure design, the stress and measurement sequences, the raw data analysis and the extrapolation models of measured time to breakdown to lifetimes at operating conditions and targeted product failure rates. For each topic various references are given where further details are described. Especially pitfalls of approaches and problem areas are highlighted.
