摘要
We study the impact of the gate-dielectric on the Positive Bias Temperature Instability (PBTI) of IGZO thin-film transistors (TFT). We show that PBTI is controlled by the gate-dielectric pre-existent electron traps and its hydrogen content. The degradation process can be composed of up to four different mechanisms with different time kinetics, voltage acceleration factors and activation energies. A simplified physics-based model is used to reproduce stress and relaxation traces recorded in a wide range of test conditions. Gate-dielectric optimization enables scaled EOT (2.5nm) IGZO TFT to achieve a record lifetime of similar to 1 year continuous operation at 95 degrees C and V-ov = 1V, with a strict failure criterion of vertical bar Delta V-th vertical bar<30mV.
