We develop a novel quasi-2D model forthe C-V characteristics of the device, by starting from aself-consistent solution of the Schrodinger and Poissonequations in the growth direction. The model isvalidated by contrasting the theoretical results withexperimental data from an AlGaAs/GaAs devicefabricated in our laboratory. 1. Introduction The properties of electrons in an inversion layerhave attracted interest since the 1930’s, when Lilienfeldconceived the field-effect transistor. Further attentionhas been motivated by the enhanced transport propertiesof the two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) formed atmodulation doped heterointerfaces, where the inversionlayer isquantized in the growth direction. Already inthe early 90’s High Electron-Mobility Transistors(HEMTs) based on this principle displayed poweramplification well above 100 GHz with outstandingnoise performance.This paper is concerned with devices based on afurther extension of the modulation doping concept byusing heterodimensional interfaces, i.e., interfacesbetween materials of dissimilar dimensions. In ourspecific case, this interface is a Schottky barrier laterallyconnecting a three-dimensional (3D) metal and a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas.In fact, heterodimensional diodes, transistors andphotodetectors present several attractive features such aslow capacitance due to the small effective cross-section,excellent noise and transport characteristics due to the2D electron gas and a high breakdown voltage, makingthem very promising for high-frequency applications [1-2].In order to illustrate the motivation for studyingheterodimensional devices we briefly revisit the questionof computing the thermionic emission current in suchdevices. In fact,straighforward extension of Bethe’stheory, considering both the proper two-dimensionaldensity of states as well as energyquantization in thegrowth direction for a 2-DEG with only onesignificantly populated subband, yields [3]:1 (1)kTqVexpkTEexpkTqJ A* T3 2 exp B","PeriodicalId":207896,"journal":{"name":"32nd European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126176053","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}

High resolution transmission electron microscopy has been used to assess the asimplanted damage and the crystal recovery following ELA. The electrical activation of B in Si during ELA has been investigated as a function of laser energy density (melt depth), implantation energy and number of laser pulses (melt time). The activated and retained dose has been evaluated with spreading resistance profiling and secondary ion mass spectrometry. A significant amount of the implanted dopant was not activated following ELA. The fraction of the implanted dopant which was not activated during ELA was lost from the sample through out diffusion. However, the dopant that was retained in crystal material during ELA was fully activated and no defect regions have been observed at the surface and at the liquid-crystal interface position. The electrical activation was increased for high laser energy density annealing when the dopant was redistributed over a deeper range.","PeriodicalId":207896,"journal":{"name":"32nd European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130239039","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}
