The effects of radiation on AlxGa1-xN/GaN MODFETs is an area of increasing interest to the USAF as these devices become developed and integrated in satellite-based systems Irradiation is also a valuable tool for analyzing the quantum-level characteristics and properties that are responsible for device operation AlxGa1-xN/GaN MODFETs were fabricated and irradiated at liquid nitrogen temperatures by 0,45-1,2MeV electrons up to doses of 6*10(exp 16) e/ cm2. Following irradiation, low temperature I-V measurements were recorded providing dose-dependent measurements Temperature-dependent I-V measurements were also made during room temperature annealing following irradiation I-V measurements indicate radiation-induced changes occur in these devices creating increased gate and drain currents These increased currents are only maintained at low temperatures (T

Power GaN Devices
Author: Matteo Meneghini
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319431994
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
This book presents the first comprehensive overview of the properties and fabrication methods of GaN-based power transistors, with contributions from the most active research groups in the field. It describes how gallium nitride has emerged as an excellent material for the fabrication of power transistors; thanks to the high energy gap, high breakdown field, and saturation velocity of GaN, these devices can reach breakdown voltages beyond the kV range, and very high switching frequencies, thus being suitable for application in power conversion systems. Based on GaN, switching-mode power converters with efficiency in excess of 99 % have been already demonstrated, thus clearing the way for massive adoption of GaN transistors in the power conversion market. This is expected to have important advantages at both the environmental and economic level, since power conversion losses account for 10 % of global electricity consumption. The first part of the book describes the properties and advantages of gallium nitride compared to conventional semiconductor materials. The second part of the book describes the techniques used for device fabrication, and the methods for GaN-on-Silicon mass production. Specific attention is paid to the three most advanced device structures: lateral transistors, vertical power devices, and nanowire-based HEMTs. Other relevant topics covered by the book are the strategies for normally-off operation, and the problems related to device reliability. The last chapter reviews the switching characteristics of GaN HEMTs based on a systems level approach. This book is a unique reference for people working in the materials, device and power electronics fields; it provides interdisciplinary information on material growth, device fabrication, reliability issues and circuit-level switching investigation.

Semiconductor Optoelectronic Devices
Author: Joachim Piprek
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080469787
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Optoelectronics has become an important part of our lives. Wherever light is used to transmit information, tiny semiconductor devices are needed to transfer electrical current into optical signals and vice versa. Examples include light emitting diodes in radios and other appliances, photodetectors in elevator doors and digital cameras, and laser diodes that transmit phone calls through glass fibers. Such optoelectronic devices take advantage of sophisticated interactions between electrons and light. Nanometer scale semiconductor structures are often at the heart of modern optoelectronic devices. Their shrinking size and increasing complexity make computer simulation an important tool to design better devices that meet ever rising perfomance requirements. The current need to apply advanced design software in optoelectronics follows the trend observed in the 1980's with simulation software for silicon devices. Today, software for technology computer-aided design (TCAD) and electronic design automation (EDA) represents a fundamental part of the silicon industry. In optoelectronics, advanced commercial device software has emerged recently and it is expected to play an increasingly important role in the near future. This book will enable students, device engineers, and researchers to more effectively use advanced design software in optoelectronics. - Provides fundamental knowledge in semiconductor physics and in electromagnetics, while helping to understand and use advanced device simulation software - Demonstrates the combination of measurements and simulations in order to obtain realistic results and provides data on all required material parameters - Gives deep insight into the physics of state-of-the-art devices and helps to design and analyze of modern optoelectronic devices

Physical Foundations of Solid-State Devices
Author: E. Fred Schubert
Publisher: E. Fred Schubert
ISBN: 0986382620
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
It is beneficial for technical personnel working in the field of microelectronics, optoelectronics, and photonics to get a good understanding of the physical foundations of modern semiconductor devices. Questions that technical personnel may ask are: How are electrons propagating in the periodic potential of a crystal lattice? What are the foundations of semiconductor heterostructure devices? How does quantum mechanics relate to semiconductor heterostructures? This book tries to answer questions such as these. The book provides a basis for the understanding of modern semiconductor devices that have dimensions in the nanometer range, that is, comparable to the electron de Broglie wavelength. For such small spatial dimensions, classical physics no longer gives a full description of physical processes. The inclusion of quantum mechanical principles becomes mandatory and provides a useful description of common physical processes in electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices. Chapters 1 to 11 teach the quantum‐mechanical principles, including the postulates of quantum mechanics, operators, the uncertainty principle, the Schrödinger equation, non‐periodic and periodic potentials, quantum wells, and perturbation theory. Chapters 12 to 20 apply these principles to semiconductor devices and discuss the density of states, semiconductor statistics, carrier concentrations, doping, tunneling, and aspects of heterostructure devices. The 2022 edition is a complete revision of the 2015 edition and also updates the formatting to make it easily viewable with electronic display devices.
