Abstract
In this paper, we report the reliability characterization of 7nm FinFET technology, in which the highly scaled 6 th generation of FinFETs and 256Mbit SRAM cells was newly developed by utilizing EUV. The single EUV patterning of MOL and BEOL resulted in significantly improved reliability distribution as compared to the previous nodes with multiple patterning techniques. The successful demonstration on product reliability including SRAM, Logic HTOL, and SER as technology evaluation was performed, indicating the 7nm technology+EUV is ready for high volume manufacturing.
