Mobility of dislocations in semiconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
Atomic-scale calculations for the dynamics of the 90 partial glide dislocation in silicon are made using the effective-medium tight-binding theory. Kink formation and migration energies for the reconstructed partial dislocation are compared with experimental results for the mobility of this dislocation. The results confirm the theory that the partial moves in the dissociated state via the formation of stable kinks. The correlation between glide activation energy and band gap in semiconducting systems is discussed.

Field Dependent Charge Carrier Transport for Organic Semiconductors at the Time of Flight Configuration
In this paper, we used the time-of-flight (TOF) of a charge packet, that injected by a voltage pulse to calculate the drift velocity and mobility of holes in organic semiconducting polymers. The technique consists in applying a voltage to the anode and calculating the time delay in the appearance of the injected carriers at the other contact. The method is a simple way to determine the charge t...
متن کاملIII–V compound semiconductors for mass-produced nano-electronics: theoretical studies on mobility degradation by dislocation
As silicon-based electronics approach the limit of scaling for increasing the performance and chip density, III-V compound semiconductors have started to attract significant attention owing to their high carrier mobility. However, the mobility benefits of III-V compounds are too easily accepted, ignoring a harmful effect of unavoidable threading dislocations that could fundamentally limit the a...
متن کاملScattering mechanism of nonmagnetic phase on nano diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS)
This paper shows the scattering mechanism at diluted magneticsemiconductors. The doped magnetic atom produces a scattering potential due to becoupled of itinerant carrier spin of host material with magnetic momentum of the dopedmagnetic atom. Formulas of scattering event were rewritten by the plane waveexpansion and then the electron mobility of DMS was calculated. Calculations showKondo effect...
متن کاملDislocations and plasticity in semiconductors. II. The relation between dislocation dynamics and plastic deformation
2014 In this second part, the mechanical behaviour of elemental semiconductors (ESC) and III-V compounds (CSC) is briefly reviewed. The marked temperature dependence of the stress-strain curve is recalled first and some attention is paid to the correlation between the lower yield stress and dislocation dynamics at moderate temperatures. In Si, some suitable pre-strain yields a very favourable s...
