The positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) characteristics for n-type fin-channel tunnel FETs (TFETs) with high-k gate stacks have been thoroughly investigated and compared with conventional FinFETs. The subthreshold slope (SS) is not degraded at all while the threshold voltage (Vth) shifts in the positive direction by the PBTI stress. The activation energy of Vth for TFETs is almost the same as FinFETs, indicating that the PBTI mechanism for TFETs is almost the same as FinFETs. It was found that, by applying a positive bias to the n+-drain (normal operation condition), the PBTI lifetime is dramatically improved as compared with that in the conventional stress test (both the p+-source and n+-drain are grounded). This is because carrier injection from the n+-drain is the main cause of the PBTI, especially for n-type TFETs. Thus, the realistic impact of the PBTI is significantly mitigated for n-type TFETs. |
