Using this method based on the dependence of normalized DLTS peak amplitude on the reverse bias, two electron traps and two hole traps were recognized in tested samples.

The electrical properties were studied by thermoelectrical measurements. The lowest resistivity, was recorded for the thin films doped with Pd at the amount of 23 at. % and it was equal nearly to 10-3 Omegacm. Moreover, as it was shown by Seebeck coefficient, doping with selected elements results in different type of electrical conduction. To confirm that investigated thin films can form heterojunction with silicon, structures were examined by current to voltage (I-V) curves.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131458704","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 DC characteristics, however, show a sudden rise in drain current at fixed value of drain voltage, resulting in high drain conductance and reduced voltage gain. This undesirable phenomenon is called Kink Effect. In this work a comprehensive understanding of the causes of this effect is developed using a 2-D physical device simulator. The modelled pHEMT is a layered structure that simulates the epitaxial layers of the fabricated device grown by MBE[1]. The developed model takes into account field dependent mobility, generation recombination mechanisms and deep-level traps are used. With the help of these physical models, threshold voltage, drain saturation and gate leakage current are successfully simulated and agree well with the measured results.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125431474","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}
