Ultra thin gate oxide characterization

The increase of the gate leakage current of advanced CMOS technologies makes standard electrical characterization methods as C(V) measurement or charge pumping more complex and uncertain. In this paper, and based on C(V) characteristics, main elements that directly affect the electrical measurements of ultra thin MOS devices are clarified. Then, classical parameter extraction techniques are reviewed, pointing out their absolute limitations or giving potential keys of improvement.
