impact ionization avalanche in p - type diamond
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrical conductivity of a highly boron doped chemical vapor deposited diamond thin film has been studied at different temperatures under high electric field conditions. Current-voltage characteristics have been measured using pulsed technique to reduce thermal effects. Experimental results evidence deep impurity impact ionization avalanche in p-type diamond up to room temperature.

In this paper, we calculate electron and hole impactionization coefficients in In0.52Al0.48As using a Monte Carlo modelwhich has two valleys and two bands for electrons and holesrespectively. Also, we calculate multiplication factor for electronand hole initiated multiplication regimes and breakdown voltagein In0.52Al0.48As PIN avalanche photodiodes. To validate themodel, we compare our simulat...

We report the controlled synthesis of axial modulation-doped p-type/intrinsic/n-type (p-i-n) silicon nanowires with uniform diameters and single-crystal structures. The p-i-n nanowires were grown in three sequential steps: in the presence of diborane for the p-type region, in the absence of chemical dopant sources for the middle segment, and in the presence of phosphine for the n-type region. T...
متن کاملThe Effects of Nonlocal Impact Ionization on the Speed of Avalanche Photodiodes
The nonlocal enhancement in the velocities of charge carriers to ionization is shown to outweigh the opposing effects of dead space, increasing the avalanche speed of short avalanche photodiodes (APDs) over the predictions of a conventional local model which ignores both of these effects. The trends in the measured gain–bandwidth product of two short InAlAs APDs reported in the literature suppo...
متن کاملAvalanche Characteristic of Vertical Impact Ionization MOSFET (IMOS) Equivalent Circuit Model
Snapback breakdown is the second order effect of avalanche breakdown in a device. Snapback occur when the excess supply voltage and high currents created flow through the device and become unstable. These two breakdowns are used to explain the concept of Vertical Impact Ionization MOSFET (IMOS) in its Equivalent Circuit Model. The equivalent circuit model design consists of MOS transistors that...
