Thermal Imaging at Multiple Time Instants for Study of Self-Heating and ESD Phenomena
A 2D backside transient interferometric mapping (TIM) method for nanosecond thermal energy imaging at multiple time instants during a single stress event is introduced. The method is based on fringe interferometry and the interferograms are analyzed using the Fast Fourier Transform technique. The method is applied to investigate moving current filaments in smart power DMOS transistors and in el...
متن کاملLocal Thermal and Current Imaging in Power Devices
This paper summarizes recent results obtained at TU Vienna in the field of thermal and free-carrier mapping of semiconductor devices using backside transient interferometric mapping (TIM) technique. The technique is based on measuring optical phase changes due to temperature and free carrier induced variations in semiconductor refractive index. Scanning transient heterodyne and 2D holographic i...
متن کاملESD effects in capacitive RF MEMS switches
RF MEMS have shown very attractive characteristics in automotive, communication, aeronautic and aerospace applications, thanks to its low mass and volume, low losses, low power consumption, high isolation and a wide operative frequency range. Moreover they have demonstrated good integration with electronics which show their ability to built-in innovative RF architectures [1]. Nevertheless the a...
متن کاملTransmission-Line Pulse ESD Testing of ICs: A New Beginning
The integrated circuit (IC) industry has been using transmission-line pulse (TLP) testing to characterize on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structures since 1985. This TLP ESD testing technique was introduced by Maloney and Khurana as a new electrical analysis tool to test the many single elements used as ESD protection structures. Since then, the technique has been shown to be m...
متن کاملNovel Study of Influence of Gate Layout Geometries on RF Cascode nMOSFETTransit Frequency
The influence of different gate-layout geometries on a cascode nMOSFET’s transit frequencywas studied. Four cascode nMOSFET transistors were fabricated using different interdigitized gate layout geometries. Furthermore, a conventional cascode transistor was fabricated in order to compare it with the proposed interdigitized layouts. The transistors were measured on-wafer and the maximum transit ...
