Abstract

The possible role of the interconnect layout in plasma processing-induced damage is Investigated. Two sets of LDD n-MOSFETs with different metal 1 layouts are examined and compared to devices with larger metal gate antennae. The results clearly indicate that interconnect layouts may invoke MOSFET's degradation mechanisms different than the conventional plasma processing-induced capacitive charging of the gate oxide by gate antenna.
