    12. Slide 12 MuGFET: Grounded Gate NMOS Unprecedented high ESD sensitivity ? failure instantaneous after breakdown! L pushes out breakdown, but no snapback visible

    20. Slide 20 Failure Analysis: Pulse Width vs. It2

    21. Slide 21 Protection Approaches

    22. Slide 22 Conclusions New issues for emerging Multigate technologies: FinFET MOS: extremely ESD-susceptible Local burn-out of fins Planar MOS: reasonable ESD hardness Uniform failure signature (even fully silicided!) Available in same process Lower trigger than FinFET ? local clamp Gate-biased MOS: Possible as protection, BJT conduction must strictly be avoided Gated diodes (Fin-type and planar): Diodes needed in any protection scheme FinFET diodes: high ESD currents possible!

    31. Slide 31 State of the art gate dielectric reliability can be achieved for CMOS processes using vertical multi-gate architectures. GOX reliability trend along the road map of CMOS scaling will be dominated by metal gates and high-k dielectrics. The use of metal gate increases gate leakage current density and reduces SiO2 reliability margin for PFET devices compared to poly-Si/SiO2. NFET & HfSiON: the extrapolation of dielectric reliability to use conditions needs to consider the strong dependence of gate leakage on gate voltage. PFET & HfSiON: the dielectric reliability meets the level of a standard poly-Si/SiO2 gate stack of same EOT. Conclusions
