The measurement technique involves scanning a focused laser beam at the surface of a chip inside its package, while the photoluminescence (PL) spectra produced are recorded sequentially for each position of the laser beam. The local temperature is deduced from the corresponding wavelength shift of the PL peak, which represents changes in the band-gap due to heating. Results are shown both for field effect type transistors (pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors-PHEMTs-in the GaAs/Ga/sub 1-x/Al/sub x/As/Ga/sub 1-y/In/sub y/As system) and for bipolar type transistors (heterojunction bipolar transistors-HBTs-in the GaAs/Ga/sub 1-x/In/sub x/P system). A spatial resolution of 1 /spl mu/m and an accuracy in the temperature determination of /spl plusmn/1/spl deg/C are demonstrated, especially for the PHEMTs. Finally, procedures are proposed to implement the information on local operating temperatures provided by this method into thermal resistance calculations.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The paper refers to a one-dimensional analysis, both for partially and fully depleted devices on films with nonuniform doping. The goal of this paper is to obtain an accurate model for the field and the potential distribution in the SOI structures with Gaussian doping concentration of impurities in the film. The results have been used for threshold voltage deduction, but they represent a reference point in developing of new models for SOI-devices fabricated on Gaussian profile films. In the fully depleted films case, the depletion of the silicon substrate for gate voltages that entirely depleted the film was considered. The results were compared with PISCES numerical simulations and were in good agreement.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

With these trends, it is becoming crucial to be able to determine which nets within a high speed VLSI circuit exhibit prominent inductive effects. The object of this paper is to answer a question frequently put to designers: is inductance necessary to model interconnections or can a simple RC model be sufficient? By comparing the simulation results obtained from electrical simulations to an electromagnetic approach we can verify if the RC distributed model is always sufficient to characterize the propagation delay and the degradation due to the interconnect lines in submicronic circuit. Limits between RC and RLC models are determined.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.
