The positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) degradation of ZnO transistors by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is investigated using an extended measure-stress-measure (eMSM) technique. The anomalous negative threshold voltage (V-TH) shift under PBTI stress, commonly observed in oxide semiconductor transistors, is found to be well described by a universal relaxation model. The study extracts the permanent component (P) and recoverable component (R), demonstrating that the R component is dominant in the negative V-TH shift while the P component is positive. The universality of PBTI relaxation suggests the importance of hydrogen (H) transport in understanding PBTI degradation in oxide semiconductor devices, and the need to consider relaxation for accurate lifetime evaluation.
In this work, the positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) degradation of ZnO transistors by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is systematically investigated by using an extended measure-stress-measure (eMSM) technique. We observe for the first time the anomalous negative threshold voltage (V-TH) shift under PBTI stress, which is frequently observed in oxide semiconductor transistors, can be well described by a universal relaxation model. The permanent component (P) and recoverable component (R) are simultaneously extracted, clearly showing that the R component is dominated by negative V-TH shift while P component is positive. The universality of PBTI relaxation on the negative V-TH shift in oxide semiconductors suggests hydrogen (H) transport may play a key role on understanding PBTI degradation phenomenon in oxide semiconductor devices, and relaxation must be considered for accurate evaluation of lifetime.
