VELOCITY OVERSHOOT OF ELECTRONS AND HOLES IN Si INVERSION LAYERS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Velocity overshoot of inversion layer electrons and holes is studied experimentally and analytically in special test structures with nominally uniform electric field. The data were used to calibrate energy relaxation parameters in a commercial simulator MEDIC1 ver. 2.0. We propose an analytical model for velocity overshoot and show that it agrees well with experimental data. The amount of hole velocity overshoot is small.

Comprehensive Understanding of Carrier Mobility in MOSFETs with Oxynitrides and Ultrathin Gate Oxides
Inversion-layer mobility in MOSFETs is quantitatively examined by taking MOSFETs with oxynitride and ultra-thin gate oxides as examples. It was shown that additional Coulomb scattering due to charged impurities in poly-Si gate and due to fixed charges in oxynitride gate oxides is responsible for the mobility degradation in low effective electric field region for ultra-thin gate oxides and oxyni...

The cryogenic dark matter search employs Ge and Si detectors to search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter via its elastic-scattering interactions with nuclei while discriminating against interactions of background particles. These detectors distinguish nuclear recoils from electron recoils by simultaneously measuring phonon and ionization production in semiconducting substrates...
متن کاملOn the Universality of Inversion Layer Mobility in Si MOSFET's: Part I-Effects of Substrate Impurity Concentration
This paper reports the studies of the inversion layer mobility in nand p-channel Si MOSFET's with a wide range of substrate impurity concentrations to 10l8 cm-"). The validity and limitations of the universal relationship between the inversion layer mobility and the effective normal field (E,E) are examined. It is found that the universality of both the electron and hole mobilities does hold up...
متن کاملA finite element formulation for the hydrodynamic semiconductor device equations
A new formulation employing the Galerkin/least-squares finite element method is presented for the simulation of the hydrodynamic model of semiconductor devices. Numerical simulations are performed on the coupled Poisson and hydrodynamic equations for one carrier devices. The hydrodynamic equations for a single carrier, i.e. for the electrons or holes, resemble the compressible Navier-Stokes equ...
متن کاملGraphene terahertz injection lasers: Concepts and feasibility of realization
The gapless energy spectrum of electrons and holes in single graphene layers (SGLs), graphene bilayers (GBLs), and non-Bernal stacked multiple graphene layers (MGLs) opens up prospects of creating graphene-based terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) lasers. The interband population inversion in such lasers can be achieved, for instance, by optical pumping [1]. However, the excess energy received by...
