- Abstract
In this work, the effects of total dose irradiation on the parasitic bipolar junction transistor (BTJ) in 130 nm PDSOI MOSFETs were investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that irradiation-induced oxide-trap charges can modify the E-B junction barrier, and thereby make the common-emitter gain β 0 of the parasitic BJT in NMOS device increase, while decreasing it in a PMOS device. Additionally, irradiation-generated oxide-trap charges in shallow trench isolation (STI) elevate the surface electrostatic potential of the gate above the STI sidewall, thus providing an additional channel from the emitter to the collector. Moreover, these charges may generate parasitic reverse conductive paths at the STI/Si interface under high dose irradiation, thereby enhancing the leakage current in the front gate channel and diminishing the significance of the parasitic BJT. Under irradiation, the electric field intensity difference between two biases leads to higher β 0 of the parasitic BJT in PG-biased devices than in ON-biased ones. Furthermore, the lifting effect of irradiation on β 0 increases in wide or short channel irradiated devices, which can be explained using simulations and an emitter current crowding effect model.
