The Poisson's and continuity equations are formulated into equivalent circuits so circuit elements such as voltage sources, resistors and capacitances can be used to implement the equations. Numerical simulation is a powerful tool for device research, but sometimes it is hard to implement. This method not only provides the availability to simulate semiconductor devices numerically by using circuit simulator, but also reduce the complexity of numerical simulation. In addition, using this method makes mixed-mode simulation between semiconductor device and external circuits: very easy. The simulation results which includes I-V, C-V and transient characteristics are all reasonable and satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":262767,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Hong Kong Proceedings Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"760 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117011155","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 diffusion technique used in this study was a semi-sealed quartz bottle containing diffusion charges and GaAs or InP wafers. The basic requirement for zinc diffusion in these materials is to provide an overpressure ambient so that decomposition at the diffusion temperature can be avoided. For InP, a small amount of InP powder along with zinc in the diffusion charge was required in order to avoid the decomposition at the diffusion temperature of about 600/spl deg/C. For GaAs, however, no GaAs powder was needed in the diffusion charge. Only pure zinc was required for producing heavily doped P-layer at the diffusion temperature of about 500/spl deg/C.","PeriodicalId":262767,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Hong Kong Proceedings Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130379582","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}

This approach was found to be very effective in reducing the RSCE without adverse effects on the short channel behavior. The reduction of the RSCE is believed to be due to the implanted nitrogen ions. These implanted nitrogen ions retards the redistribution of the channel boron concentration, which is believed to be the cause of the RSCE. Threshold voltage shifts were observed in both n- and p-ch MOSFETs. We propose that these threshold voltage shifts are due to the partial activation of the nitrogen atoms that have taken up substitutional sites in the silicon lattice and thus behave as a dopant species for silicon.","PeriodicalId":262767,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Hong Kong Proceedings Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120994835","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}

Among all silicides, cobalt-disilicide (CoSi/sub 2/) and nickel-monosilicide (NiSi) have been demonstrated to be two of the most promising silicide materials for future ULSI, thin film transistor (TFT) and novel devices. They have the advantages of having the lowest resistivities (/spl sim/14 /spl mu/ohm-cm), good thermal stability (up to 700-900/spl deg/C), low formation temperature (/spl sim/400-600 /spl deg/C) and little or no resistivity degradation on narrow lines/gates. Moreover, for CoSi/sub 2/, it can have low film stress (lattice mismatch with silicon (Si) is only 1.2%), less lateral gate-source/drain silicide overgrowth, good resistance to HF and plasma etching, and do not react with oxide below 900/spl deg/C. For NiSi, it has the advantages of less Si consumption, no reaction with N/sub 2/ and a simple single step annealing. This paper aims to provide a first study to explore and compare the thermal stability and process windows of NiSi and CoSi/sub 2/ in amorphous Si (a-Si) and single-crystalline Si (c-Si) substrates after 30 minutes long time annealing.","PeriodicalId":262767,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Hong Kong Proceedings Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114353799","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}
