Noise as a Diagnostic Tool for the Reliability Improvement of Microelectronic Components for Information Technology and Environmental Control

Objective

The objective of the project is to establish a methodology for technology and reliability lifetime control and improvement based on the use of low-frequency noise measurements as a diagnostic tool.

The first step consists of defining a relevant set of noise measurements to predict the reliability behaviour of electronic components (i.e. MOS and bipolar devices) and semiconductor sensors. Then the appropriate test methodology and strategy is defined. In order to increase the industrial applicability of the proposed methodology, a part of the activities is devoted to the automation of the measurement set-up and data handling. The final validation of the diagnostic tool will be performed by using microelectronics devices fabricated in the Czech Republic.

Two partners are members of the Human Capital and Mobility Network ELEN (European Laboratory for Electronic Noise).

PROGRESS AND RESULTS

During the first six months of the project, a detailed action plan for the future activities has been determined. This includes a selection of the different technologies (i.e. MOS, bipolar and sensors), an evaluation strategy and test plan for the static device and noise parameters, and a definition of the stressing conditions for reliability evaluation.

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

The dissemination activities envisaged include joint conference contributions and publications in international journals. After about 15 months an open Workshop will be organised. In addition to contributions from East and West European research centres and universities, strong participation from industry is anticipated. The NODITO achievements will also be presented at the annual ELEN Workshops.
