TDDB of Sensitive High-K Gate Dielectrics – Revisited for CDM
Time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) of High-K material is investigated comprehensively by TLP. Cumulative stress effects are eliminated by the TDDB power-law. Promising improvements in the ESD design window for pulses at 1ns are quantified including statistical scattering. With CDM waveforms at gates even substantially below 1ns, CDM design may be eased. Precise design limits can be defined.
