Abstract
The authors propose an analytic method of predicting pattern edge enhanced leakage currents in MOS capacitors with arbitrary geometry, based on test chip I-V measurements. The predicted results are in good agreement with experimental results. Using this method, it becomes possible to qualitatively compare the magnitudes of edge effects under different processing conditions. It is concluded that this method will be a powerful tool for developing high-reliability insulators in future LSIs.
