A bipolar circuit remains optimized for power-delay operation in scaling if the relative contributions to the circuit delay of every capacitance and resistance component of the circuit are kept constant. This condition is realized only by coordinated reductions of both the vertical doping profiles and the horizontal dimensions and appropiately varying the current. As the base width is reduced in scaling, the emitter depth must be reduced proportionately to maintain base width control and reproducibility, and the base doping must be increased to avoid punch through. For emitters less than 200nm deep, the current gain is no longer determined by the base sheet resistance alone, but depends strongly on the emitter contact technology. Also, for base doping greater than about 5×1017cm-3, the effects of heavy doping in the base region as well as in the emitter region become important in determining the device characteristics.","PeriodicalId":180541,"journal":{"name":"1980 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130516408","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}

A detailed analysis of the current density-Voltage-Temperature (J-V-T) relationship in many devices in this region of operation shows large discrepancies with currently accepted emission theories, These discrepancies make the (J-V-T) characteristics unusable as a means of studying emitters in their real operating environment, An earlier reported (IEDM 1978) empirical relationship for the current density-Voltage-Temperature will be shown to be an accurate representation of experimental data, in all device geometries tested. A summary of some of the experiments will be discussed and compared to both Langmuir's emission theory and the empirical discovered relationship, Finally, some fundamental physics will be discussed that is felt will support the existence of the cited empirical relationship.","PeriodicalId":180541,"journal":{"name":"1980 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121708644","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}

A detailed study of hot electron injection and trapping in MOSFETs for extended periods of time shows that the threshold voltage is the dominant reason for the observed reduction in device current. The localized nature of hot electron emission and subsequent trapping in the oxide when the device is under electrical stress is shown. Based on this effect, a simple physical model is presented to explain the differences in the behavior of wide and narrow channel devices of similar effective channel lengths under stress. The experimental results obtained during the hot electron reliability study are presented and explained on the basis of the above model.","PeriodicalId":180541,"journal":{"name":"1980 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121746902","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 optical density of developed AgBr films vs. x-ray intensity produced a log-linear dependence in the range of 10 to 5000µJ/cm2with a gamma of 0.18. The extraordinary x-ray speed of evaporated AgBr stems both from photographic development, which multiplies the Ag latent image by a factor of ∼105, and by virtue of the relatively heavy atoms which provide a calculated mass absorption coefficient of 32% from a 2000 å film. We have also exposed a special two-layer resist system consisting of AgBr/polymer on Si through an x-ray mask consisting of Ti membrane with Au as the opaque material. In previous work (1), we have shown that the photographically generated Ag image provides a very good mask for plasma etching polymer.","PeriodicalId":180541,"journal":{"name":"1980 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134027290","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}
