A test chip which allows the experimental study of the influence of die residual stresses on MOS transistor matching, in a standard 0.7 m CMOS technology, is described. The influence of eutectic die bonding on transistor matching is found to be a major degradation factor. Polyimide bonded dies do not significantly affect the matching performance of MOS transistors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
