Influence of technological parameters used in dielectric layers production on interface charge densities was studied. Characterization of the produced structures has been carried out by analyzing their C/V diagrams. Based on the characterization results, the choice of the most suitable values of technological parameters for each dielectric has been made, thus enabling achievement of low values of the interface charges density. Produced tunnel MIS photo detectors show clearly exhibited dependence of Schottky barrier height on the metal used and specific detectivity as high as 5 × 10<sup>10</sup> cm·Hz<sup>1/2</sup>W<sup>-1</sup>.","PeriodicalId":271286,"journal":{"name":"2010 27th International Conference on Microelectronics Proceedings","volume":"451 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115286163","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}

In less favourable climate conditions, as in Central Europe, highly varying radiation is very frequent. In such consitions, the accurate energy yield predictions from PV-systems require more accurate thermal modelling, than simple industry-standard approach based on single NOCT parameter. The paper demonstrates the method for extraction of parameters for simple RC-thermal model from measurements of field-installed photovoltaic module. The calculated RC-thermal time constant allows to recognize the climatic conditions requiring careful thermal modelling. Moreover, in order to satisfy the simplicity of PV-simulations, as an alternative to the RC-model, the idea of simplified approach to handling variable radiation conditions has also been proposed.","PeriodicalId":271286,"journal":{"name":"2010 27th International Conference on Microelectronics Proceedings","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124967435","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 technology offers several benefits for scaling CMOS, i.e., extremely low S/D series resistance, sharp junctions from S/D to channel and low temperature processing. A successful implementation of this technology needs to overcome new obstacles such as Schottky barrier height (SBH) engineering and careful control of SALICIDE process. Device design factors such as S/D to gate underlap, Si film thickness and oxide thickness affect device performance owing to their effects on the SB width. Recently, we have invested a lot of efforts on Pt- and Ni-silicide MSD SB-MOSFETs and achieved some promising results. The present work, together with the work of other groups in this field, places silicide MSD SB-MOSFETs as a competitive candidate for future generations of CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":271286,"journal":{"name":"2010 27th International Conference on Microelectronics Proceedings","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133804136","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}
