Monte Carlo simulations for sub-0.1 /spl mu/m devices show that, under the electric field of 100 kV/cm, the peak electron velocity in GaAs reaches a value more than 4 times higher than that in silicon, indicating the significant advantages of GaAs devices for high-frequency applications. We developed a new model for Monte Carlo simulation of hole transport, which includes not only heavy and light holes, but also split-off band holes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the accurate scattering probabilities of holes of these three bands have been calculated.","PeriodicalId":268401,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/Cornell Conference on Advanced Concepts in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123601945","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}

Assuming a nearest neighbor approximation, self-induced and coupled thermal resistances were calculated, and an equivalent thermal circuit was developed. The temperature distribution of the multiple-emitter element thermally-shunted devices was calculated and discussed. The presented model gives a guideline for thermal shunt design. Thermally-shunted devices with different emitter designs were fabricated and tested. Thermal resistances for both emitter bar and circular dot-array designs are smaller than those reported for non-thermal shunt devices by 25 to 50%. The analytical model found good agreement with the experimental measurements of fabricated devices.","PeriodicalId":268401,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/Cornell Conference on Advanced Concepts in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125317127","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}

Micromechanical devices and systems are inherently smaller, lighter, and faster than their macroscopic counterparts, and in many cases are also more precise.
