The process modeling embracing the performance and the stability of LDMOS is performed with TCAD using inline data. For the development of BCD process, the PBODY process parameters are optimized through the ML algorithms and the condition is verified with TCAD and silicon test.

Using these energies, we construct a Heisenberg Hamiltonian and perform a Monte Carlo study on each WSe2 + intercalant system to estimate the Curie or Néel temperature. We find ferromagnetic ground states for Ti and Cr intercalation, with Curie temperatures of 31K and 225K, respectively. In Fe-intercalated WSe2, we predict that antiferromagnetic ordering is present up to 564K. For V intercalation, we find that the system exhibits a double phase transition.","PeriodicalId":206964,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"88 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":"132776000","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}

No metal light shielding film (LSF) for pupil division is formed. The key concept of the present work for PDAF is to perform the pupil division by the locally arranged Geon-Si layer in a pixel according to incident angle. The present pixel is based on a back-side illuminated CMOS image sensor pixel; the pixel pitch is 1.85 μm and the thickness of c-Si is around 3 μm. The simulation, based on three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D-FDTD) method, shows that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the present pixel exhibits above 44.3 % with the maximum of 76.0 % for incident angles of - 30° to + 30°, owing to the selectively arranged Ge-on-Si layer; it exhibits 3.6 times improvement in the EQE at normal incidence compared to that of current state-of-the-art pixel with half metal-shielded aperture; the EQE is 49.2 % and 13.8 %, respectively.

To solve the problem, power device degradation estimation methods by the machine learning of gate waveforms are proposed. Two methods are shown in this paper. First, in order to detect the bond wire lift-off of power devices, the estimation of the number of the connected bond wires using the linear regression of two feature points extracted from the gate waveforms of a SiC MOSFET is shown using SPICE simulations. Then, in order to detect the power device degradation, the estimation of R E, TJ, IC, and VTH using the convolutional neural network (CNN) with the gate waveforms of an IGBT for input is shown using both simulations and measurements.","PeriodicalId":206964,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"59 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":"114075676","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}
