A strong influence of nitrogen gas on the content of surface hydroxyl groups of TiO2 films by atomic layer deposition(ALD) was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), contact angle measuring system, and UV–Vis spectrophotometer. XPS spectra of O 1s indicate that the content of surface hydroxyl groups is varied when using N2 as carrier gas. The results of water contact angles and optical reflection spectra show that the content variation of surface hydroxyl groups influences the wetting properties and optical reflectivity of TiO2 films. A surface reaction model is suggested to explain the ALD reaction process using N2 as carrier gas.

An efficient test structure for interface trap density characterization has been proposed. Based on this single structure and one-time IV measurement, the interface trap densities on both n- and p-type Si/SiO 2 interfaces are obtained, achieving 1x efficiency improvement and 50% cost reduction. BTI-stress-induced degradation was studied and compared under the same structure, demonstrating a better test efficiency and resolution to interface traps generation at different Si/SiO 2 interfaces.

This paper proposes a low-power inverter-based chopper instrumentation amplifier (IA) for ECG applications. A capacitively-coupled topology with chopper is employed while a two-stage inverter-based amplifier serves as the gain stage. Pseudo resistors are introduced to stabilize the output common-mode voltage of the amplifier and an improved switch-capacitor integrator with resistive attenuator is designed for the DC offset canceling (DCOC) loop. The instrumentation amplifier is implemented in a standard 0.18μm CMOS process. Simulation results show that the input referred noise is 1.28 μVrms ranging from 1Hz to 110Hz while consuming 192nW with a 1.2V supply.

Self-heating enhanced degradation in pLDMOSFETs was studied by non-destructive MR-DCIV method. Due to self-heating effect in pLDMOSFETs, several times larger MR-DCIV degradation per finger was observed for multi-finger devices with higher temperature rise and less channel edge heat dissipation. Our study has shown that self-heating induced degradation shared the similar trends and mechanism to NBTI.

The static BTI stress (DC stress) have a significant influence on duty cycle of Ring Oscillators, low power SRAMs and dynamic register files because of its asymmetrical gradation. A ring oscillator based structure is proposed to measure the duty cycle of an inverter chain based ring oscillator. The proposed structure can measure the duty cycle shifts conveniently and accurately. Simulating results shows that benefiting from the continuous accumulation, the duty-cycle of the inverter chain can be measured accurately.
