Abstract

This paper describes three different measurement methodologies for the electrical characterization of FinFET self-heating at wafer-level. The different sensor types were designed to use the threshold voltage (VT) of an adjacent FET, the forward bias (VD) of an adjacent pn-junction or the gate resistance (RG) of the device itself. We report that self-heating is underestimated by 35% when sensed at a neighboring device. We also confirm that heat from local and surrounding sources are additive.
