This loss of photogenerated carriers, which is enhanced at higher applied electric fields, is known as minority carrier sweepout, and is an important mechanism that limits the performance of HgCdTe photoconductive devices operating at high bias fields. In this study, experimentally determined contact recombination velocities range from 25 cm/s at 80 K, to 600 cm/s at 200 K for x=0.31 Hg/sub 1-x/Cd/sub x/Te. Hence, it is concluded that contact recombination is a dominant mechanism at higher temperatures even though it may not be significant at 80 K.","PeriodicalId":171952,"journal":{"name":"1996 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices.

The use of a non-uniform mesh size can improve accuracy and reduce computational time for self-consistent calculations of the tunnelling current.","PeriodicalId":171952,"journal":{"name":"1996 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices.

The oxide thickness is 4 nm and the effective channel length is 0.1 /spl mu/m. The maximum transconductance at V/sub D/=2.0 V is 455 mS/mm for nMOSFET and 191 mS/mm for pMOSFET. The DIBL (Drain Induced Barrier Lowering) is kept within 70 mV from V/sub D/=0.1 V to V/sub D/=2.0 V for both devices. By the comparison with the conventional MOSFET, the reduction of short channel effects is demonstrated.

Following rapid thermal annealling, the fraction of undisturbed /sup 111/In sites was measured with perturbed angular correlation (PAC). Though Sn and In ions have comparable masses, undisturbed fractions of 42 and 67%, respectively, were experimentally determined as attributed to the charge on the ionised donor and differences in bond length. Precipitated Sn atoms were shown to have a negligible influence on the undisturbed fraction. Comparing In-, P- and In-and-P-implanted samples, excess P yielded a greater fraction of undisturbed sites relative to excess In (87 and 67%, respectively) as attributed to the lesser mass of P and hence, the lesser energy deposited in vacancy production. However, In-and-P-implanted samples yielded an intermediate value (81%), demonstrating the influence of non-stoichiometry. Also, complementary double-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements were in qualitative agreement with the results derived from PAC with the latter shown to be an effective analytical technique for the measurement of disorder in ion-implanted InP.","PeriodicalId":171952,"journal":{"name":"1996 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices.
