Abstract :
In this work we investigated the plasma induced damage on the Fully Depleted SOI devices by attaching different antennas configurations to the gate and source/drain nodes. We find that some configuration induces gate dielectric breakdown by charging effect. To explain these results a circuit model was performed. The model simulations are compared to the experimental results and then the impact of the charging damage from plasma process on the FDSOI technology is described.
