    摘要: This application describes systems and methods for detecting depth in deep trench isolation with semiconductor devices using test key transistors. An example semiconductor device comprises a test key transistor comprising a source, a drain, a channel connected to the source and the drain, and a gate; and a deep trench isolation encroaching into the channel of the test key transistor, wherein: the test key transistor is associated with a specification including a preset gate voltage, a preset source-drain voltage difference, and a predetermined current, and the test key transistor is configured to generate a current within a threshold difference from the predetermined current in the channel in response to receiving the preset gate voltage at the gate and the preset source-drain voltage difference at the source and the drain, and the deep trench isolation encroaches into the channel at a preset depth.

    摘要: A system is provided for generating a ramping signal. The system includes a plurality of storage circuits each including an input and an output. The output of a previous storage circuit is connected to the input of a next storage circuit. The storage circuits are configured to propagate a first enable signal based on a first control signal. The system also includes a plurality of first current generating circuits. Each first current generating circuit is coupled to the output of a corresponding storage circuit to receive the propagated first enable signal. The first current generating circuits are configured to generate a first current signal based on the propagated first enable signal.
