Date/Time: Monday, 9 January 2006, 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Venue: S1, Meeting Room C (S1-B1c-111)
Speaker: Prof. Vijay K. Arora, Wilkes University, USA
Organizer: IEEE Rel/CPMT/ED Chapter and CNEG
Announcement/Abstract: 
Abstract
As devices are scaled down to nano-scale regime, mobility degradation due to the presence of quantum waves and high electric fields makes familiar circuit laws of macro-scale devices invalid.  In resulting quasi-low-dimensions as one or more of the Cartesian directions are constrained, mobility degrades due to quantum confinement effects that transform the density of states.  When an electric-field is applied in an analog-type classical direction, the electron motion transforms to a streamlined one and ultimately the velocity becomes comparable to either the thermal velocity for nondegenerate electrons or Fermi velocity for degenerate electrons.  This ultimate velocity may be lowered if there is a quantum remission of energy due to the emission of an appropriate quantum of energy. This sublinear behavior of the velocity-field profiles results in substantial enhancement of direct and differential resistance as electron velocity approaches the ultimate saturation level. The resulting changes in the familiar current and voltage division laws are discussed.  The transformed behavior on current transport and the signal processing in the presence of high electric field will be presented.

• New Methods for Defect Engineering in Semiconductors

Date/Time: Monday, 9 January 2006, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Venue: S1, Meeting Room C (S1-B1c-111)
Speaker: Prof. Edmund G. Seebauer, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
Organizer: IEEE Rel/CPMT/ED Chapter and CNEG
Announcement/Abstract: 
Abstract
Diffusion in semiconductors controls many aspects of device fabrication, such as standard thermal diffusion steps and ion implantation/annealing for ultrashallow junction formation.  Diffusion is mediated primarily by point defects, so controlling the number and migration rate of such defects by “defect engineering” is important for optimized processing. The present work reports the discovery of several new methods for defect manipulation: two mechanisms for bulk-surface coupling and one mechanism for optical stimulation. Regarding bulk-surface coupling, solid-state diffusion measurements together with detailed modeling and optical photoreflectance characterization have quantified how surfaces interact with bulk point defects such as interstitial. This new form of chemistry is comparable in richness to the reactions of surfaces with gases, and is governed by electrostatic and surface bond insertion/generation mechanisms.  Regarding optical stimulation, diffusion measurements have shown that defect mobilities and concentrations can be nonthermally modulated by orders of magnitude through super-band gap illumination.  Taken together, these findings have immediate applications for improved ultrashallow junction formation with minimal transient enhanced diffusion and enhanced activation of implanted dopants.

About the Speaker
