BIAS-TEMPERATURE STABILITY TEST FOR METAL-OXIDE,

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62373 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 47:
Semiconductor devices.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
47/1862/FDIS 47/1875/RVD

INTRODUCTION
Under the stress of high temperature, and when high gate-source voltage is applied over a
long period of time, MOSFET degrades; saturation current decreases and the absolute value
of threshold voltage increases.
Known causes of degradation include mobile ion contamination, charge damage and the
creation of interface traps at SiO /Si interface or fixed charge by the carrier flow into the oxide.

BIAS-TEMPERATURE STABILITY TEST FOR METAL-OXIDE,
SEMICONDUCTOR, FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS (MOSFET)

1 Scope
This International Standard provides a test procedure for a bias-temperature (BT) stability test
of metal-oxide semiconductor, field-effect transistors (MOSFET).
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
constant current threshold voltage
V
th-ci
gate-source voltage at which drain current is equal to 0,1 µA/µm times gate width in micron
with the drain-source voltage in linear region or in the typical value of recommended operating
condition
NOTE This definition is expressed by the following equation as
V =V (1)
th−ci GS
where, V is the gate-source voltage
GS
under the following condition:
(2)
I = 0,1 µA/µm × W
DS
where I is the drain-source current and W is the gate width in microns
DS
and the drain voltage is in linear region or in the typical value of recommended operating condition. Linear region
means V = 0,05,….0,1 V (approximately).
DS
2.2
extrapolated threshold voltage
V
th-ext
gate-source voltage which is the extrapolated value in the (linear) I -(linear)V curve, from
DS GS
the point where the slope of the I -V curve becomes maximum with the maximum slope to
DS GS
the point of I = 0 in the condition of drain-source voltage in linear region or in the typical
DS
value of recommended operating condition
NOTE Figure 1 shows the gate-source voltage (V )–drain-source current (I ) curve.
GS DS
At about V = 0,3 V, the slope of I -V becomes maximum. The dotted line is the extrapolated line whose slope
GS DS GS
is the same maximum value as the I -V curve.
DS GS
The value where the extrapolated line crosses the line of I = 0 (X-axis) is V .
