Step 5. Applies stress and characterizes the parameters
This step performs the following:
1. Applies the stress,
Vdstr
and
Vgstr
, to the valid devices.
Before running the
SP_MUX_M
program, you must determine the
Vdstr
(drain
stress voltage) by Id-Vds measurement (using setup file
IDVD.MES
), then edit
the
SP_MUX_M
program to input value of
Vdstr
. Refer to “Executing the
Program” on page 9-27.
2. Performs the interim characterization. This sets up the 4155/4156 by using the
PARAM.MES
setup file, then measures the parameters (
Idlin
,
Gmmax
,
Vtext
and
Vtci
) for each device.
3. Judges whether to terminate the stress/interim characterization cycle. This cycle
is terminated when total stress time reaches 100,000 sec or when there is no
device satisfies all of the following conditions:
•
Idlin
value is within ±10 % of initial value.
•
Gmmax
value is within ±10 % of initial value.
•
Vtext
value is within ±20 mV of initial value.
•
Vtci
value is within ±20 mV of initial value.
If none of these termination conditions has occurred, stress time (duration) is
increased, and these 3 steps are repeated. The default
cumulative stress times are
defined in the program as follows. To change these cumulative stress times, refer
to “Modifying the Program” on page 9-35.
