Abstract
Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) of antenna pMOSFET with thermally recovered plasma-induced damage (PID) was analyzed in detail. We found that thermal processes in the BEOL such as cure process of spin-on dielectric (SOD), and forming gas sintering, could recover the PID and improve NBTI endurance. Furthermore, we found for the first time that subjection to PID and the recovery bring about a greater improvement in results of the NBTI test than in the case of controlled pMOSFET.
