The effect on thermal resistance of heat sources located at various levels in the multilayer structure are considered here. The calculations indicate that thermal resistances of proton-isolated structures can be approximately halved when energy is radiatively transferred from the device active region rather than when all heat is generated within the device active region. This should be taken into consideration when the experimental effectiveness of laser-dice-bonding technology is being evaluated.","PeriodicalId":127114,"journal":{"name":"Iee Journal on Solidstate and Electron Devices","volume":"398 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116505881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complete system of four coupled partial differential equations describing the internal behaviour of the s.o.s. transistor is solved exactly. Typical results for an n-channel double-implanted inversion-layer s.o.s. transistor are shown.

In the numerical analysis, photo-generated carrier collection in the window layers was considered. The spectral response in the short-wavelength region could be improved if either the Al composition factor x of the window layer was made larger or the window was made thinner. The lifetime of the carriers in the p-GaAs layer is especially important for improving the spectral response and the conversion efficiency. The increases of donor concentration in the n-GaAs bulk region and of acceptor concentration in the p-GaAs layer cause the current and voltage to increase. Thus the multilayer structures can make efficient use of the short-wavelength region of the spectrum and be easier to produce than a continuously graded structure. Conversion efficiencies can be approximately 20% in AMO.","PeriodicalId":127114,"journal":{"name":"Iee Journal on Solidstate and Electron Devices","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124658516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, it is shown that the switching properties at low gate voltages depend entirely on the trap density and distribution in the nitride.
