Partially Depleted vs. Fully-Depleted• Recall that depletion region empty of free carriers
forms in the BULK beneath the gate• Partially-depleted SOI
– The body is thicker than the depletion region, so bulk voltage can vary depending on the amount of charge present
– This varying charge changes Vt because of the body effect
• Fully-depleted SOI– Body is thin, depletion region spans bulk– Body charge is fixed, body voltage does not change– Harder to make because of thin body

CMOS Latchup
Source: Weste/Harris
Transient currents flowing in substrate during startup can cause VSUB to rise, turning on Vsub. This will turn on Vwell, which turns on Vsub harder in a positive feedback loop, causing large current to flow between Vdd/GND (destructive current!).
Keep Rwell, Rsub low, also place numerous well taps to collect stray charge.

Alpha Particles
• Sources– Cosmic Rays (aircraft electronics vulnerable)
– Decaying uranium and thorium impurities in integrated circuit interconnect
• Generates electron-hole pairs in substrate– Excess carriers collected by diffusion terminals of
transistors
– Can cause upset of state nodes – floating nodes, DRAM cells most vulnerable

Devil’s advocate....Took a long time..first main commercial success was IBM PowerPC in 1998.
The biggest advantage. This is a problem!

Another subtle advantage: Lower Vt
• In bulk-CMOS, Vt varies with channel length– variations in polysilicon etching shows up as variations
in threshold voltages
– Vt must be high enough in the worst case (lowest Vt) to limit subthreshold leakage, so nominal threshold must b higher
• SOI has lower Vt variations than bulk-CMOS– So nominal Vt can be lower, resulting in faster circuits,
esp. for lower VDD

Charge Entering/Exiting the Body
• Entering– Leakage currents from reversed biased drain-to-body diode (also
possibly source-to-drain)
– High-energy carriers cause impact ionization, creating electron-hold pairs. Some electrons injected into gate oxide, causing holes to accumulate in body. Modeled as current source Iii.
• Exiting– As body voltage increases, diode source-to-body becomes forward
biased, allowing charge to exit.
– A rising gate or drain capacitively couples body upward as well. Can strong forward bias source-to-body diode and cause charge to rapidly leave the body.

SOI Disadvantages
• Floating body causes the History Effect– Body voltage depends on if device has been idle or switching
– This changes Vt, which changes the delay of the circuit
– Circuit delay changes with its “history” of switching activity!
– Matches matching transistors for analog designs difficult because even if transistors are next to each other, can have different characteristics because of changing VT
• Self-heating– The oxide is good thermal insulator as well as electrical insulator
– Heat accumulates in switching transistors rather than spreading throughout the substrate, slow them down.
– A problem for large transistors that switch fast, i.e, clock buffer transistors.

SOI Applications
• The immunity to latch-up, resistance to alpha-particle strikes makes SOI attractive for space-based ICs, military applications seeking radiation hardness– Honeywell is a leader in CMOS SOI for military, space
applications
• Smaller diffusion capacitance makes it attractive for low-power design (lowers dynamic power dissipation)
