Abstract
A new test structure and measurement technique is described that allow s improved monitoring of the integrated channel doping in MOSFETs whic h is the primary cause of statistical threshold voltage fluctuations. The methodology is physically based and has been applied successfully to a 0.8 mum BiCMOS process. The advantages of this approach over the conventional method are demonstrated. Results obtained from high volum e testing are also presented.
