RF capacitance-voltage characterization of MOSFETs with high leakage dielectrics

Abstract

We present a MOS Capacitance-Voltage measurement methodology that, contrary to present methods, is highly robust against gate leakage current densities up to 1000 A/cm/sup 2/. The methodology features specially designed RF test structures and RF measurement frequencies. It allows MOS parameter extraction in the full range of accumulation, depletion, and inversion.
