Abstract
Effects of additional thermal budget associated with a three-dimensional (3D) fabrication sequence are evaluated for the total-ionizing dose radiation response of fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) MOSFETs. Current-voltage and low-frequency (1/f) noise measurements are compared for (1) conventional planar FD-SOI MOSFETs, and (2) MOSFETs formed in the bottom layer of the 3D process and subjected to the process steps associated with formation of a second active layer. Similar radiation-induced voltage shifts and increases of 1/f noise are observed after irradiation for both types of structures. These similar changes in response show that the additional thermal processing involved with 3D fabrication has little effect on border-trap densities and radiation-induced charge trapping in gate and/or buried oxides of MOSFETs formed in the bottom layer of the 3D process.
