| Abstract | Semiconductor device functioning is commonly degraded by series resistance. The extent of performance degradation depends on the series resistance of the device, operating current flowing through the device, and on a number of other constraints. The series resistance depends on the semiconductor resistivity, on the contact resistance, and sometimes on geometrical factors. This thesis focuses on the design of a highly reliable, repeatable and reproducible low cost arrangement to electrically characterize the series resistance for 0.8 micron CMOS technology. Non-Linear Regression models developed in this study estimates the precise value of sheet resistance and junction depth for several real-time ion implant conditions and the approxiniate value of the contact resistance for a given sheet resistance. The optimum ion-implant condition for 0.8 micron CMOS technology is presented in this thesis |
