摘要:
A new method allowing:the automatic characterization of the subthreshold hump effect is presented in this paper. It makes use of a variable transformation based on observations made with a hump-model. This model considers two sub-transistors with different threshold voltages in parallel. The extracted parameters are the hump effect magnitude the weak inversion slope and the extrapolated leakage current at Vg=0V. After implementation in our automatic test system, the routine has been successfully applied to the 0.25 mu m technology of the Crolles Centre Commun. The efficiency and the reliability of this routine are demonstrated whatever the operating biasing and temperature. It is noticed that this method is a useful tool to monitor and study the hump effect.
