Title: | Advantage of In-situ over Ex-situ techniques as reliability tool: Aging kinetics of Imec's MCM-D discrete passives devices. | Authors: | Soussan, P LEKENS, Geert DREESEN, Raf DE CEUNINCK, Ward Beyne, E |
Issue Date: | 2003 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | MICROELECTRONICS RELIABILITY, 43(9-11). p. 1785-1790 | Abstract: | An in-situ technique has been used to characterize Imec's MCM-D technology. This thin film technology dedicated to high frequency applications - uses exotic materials such as TaN and Ta2O5 for the resistors and the capacitors respectively. It was characterized at elevated temperature (up to 200degreesC), and it was possible to model the aging kinetics of the resistors and to use the high resolution measurements as a powerful analysis tool for the capacitors. With respect to conventional reliability testing, the in-situ technique was proven to be an efficient way to assess technology characterization and reliability; moreover, it gives the possibility to use short accelerated tests to perform lifetime prediction.
