The electron injection barrier height is very close to the theoretical value at room temperature.

The photo-sensitivity increase in the field of the metallurgical boundary in the CdMnTe-CdMnHgTe structure under increase of the Mn content up to /spl gamma//spl les/0.08 in comparison to the CdZnTe-CdZnHgTe structure is connected with the more precise matching of the lattices of the initial materials.

To reduce the effort caused by measuring the thermal behavior of semiconductor components frequently thermal simulation is applied. However, using commercially available software packages high effort is necessary for maintenance and for generating the thermal models. In addition the limitation of the node number does not allow spatial discretization sufficiently fine for high lead count packages. In this paper a new thermal simulation tool is presented which allows to establish models in a very efficient way. The developed and implemented solver based on the alternating direction implicit method (ADI-method) is efficiently processing the required high node number. Moreover, in this paper the developed thermal simulation tool is applied for the thermal characterization of a 176 lead QFP-Package using a discretization with 320.000 nodes. Steady-state and transient thermal qualities of the package are investigated.","PeriodicalId":215956,"journal":{"name":"2000 22nd International Conference on Microelectronics. Proceedings (Cat.

Different effects caused by interaction of weakly bonded oxygen with mobile point defects and static defect complexes are analyzed. As a result, the possibilities to control the evolution of the spatial distribution of implanted oxygen by means of gettering and defect engineering are proposed and validated by computer simulations based on a kinetic quasi-chemical description. Special attention is given to carbon induced gettering mechanisms involved in buried oxide synthesis known as Low-Dose Approach Combined with Defect Engineering (LDACODE). SIMS profiling data together with the results of computer simulations show a rather complicated autocatalytic behavior of carbon and an important role of the carbon-vacancy and carbon-oxygen complexes in oxygen accumulation. Some effects in the early stage kinetics of oxygen redistribution are revealed and discussed.","PeriodicalId":215956,"journal":{"name":"2000 22nd International Conference on Microelectronics.
