DFT allows us to calculate the electronic and optical properties of the hydrogen-terminated diamond (H-diamond) and establish a link between the underlying electronic structure and the charge transfer between the oxide materials and the H-diamond. Our results show that the metal oxide molecule can be described as an electron acceptor and extracts the electrons from the diamond creating 2D hole gas in the diamond surface. Hence, this metal oxide molecule acts as a p-type doping material for the diamond.","PeriodicalId":206964,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131208662","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}

Current filaments mean high density currents flow only in some parts of active cells and induce large heat generation locally. They appear when excessive current flows for some reasons during device switching. The aim of this paper is to clarify the following by using a modified avalanche model: The local lattice temperature dependence of impact ionization coefficients is a main factor in current filament movements, and the movements significantly suppress local heat generation. In particular, this tendency becomes even stronger when the ambient temperature is low and after the depletion layer reaches the buffer layer on the back surface side of IGBTs.","PeriodicalId":206964,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115536103","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 self-consistent aging modeling is proposed, which considers the trap-density N trap increase as the aging origin. This N trap s considered in the Poisson equation together with other charges induced within MOSFET. It is demonstrated that a universal relationship of the N trap increase as a function of integrated substrate current, caused by device stress, can describe the MOSFET aging in a simple way for any device-operating conditions. An exponential increase with constant and unitary slope of the N trap is found to successfully predict the aging phenomena, reaching a saturation for high stress degradation. The model universality is verified additionally for any device size. Comparison with existing conventional aging modeling for circuit simulation is discussed for demonstrating the simplifications due to the developed modeling approach.","PeriodicalId":206964,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123659548","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}

To establish the applicability of semiclassical simulation, we first show that a semiclassical impurity scattering model with the Fermi-Dirac statistics can explain the very low mobility in APAM devices quite well; we also show semiclassical TCAD reproduces measured sheet resistances when proper mobility values are used.
