The stressing process uses direct current stressing method while Takeda and Hu models are used in analysis process. The result of the experiment is in the graph form and it depends on the analysis method which is can be referred to both Takeda and Hu models. The minimum lifetime prediction was 860 hours by using Takeda model as compared to 790 hours using Hu model. The different result between Takeda and Hu model was about 8% only and this allowed both Takeda and Hu models to be used in lifetime prediction of NMOS transistor. For the conclusion, by referring to this lifetime prediction graph, any operating voltage of transistor can predict the lifetime.","PeriodicalId":347755,"journal":{"name":"2006 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122499186","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}

These planar micro-lenses are embedded in the Si wafer and have made-to-order focal lengths. Our fabrication technique allows the manufacture of a single lens or an array of lenses with variable focal length.

The results show that at room temperature and with resonant excitation, excitonic coherences are maintained beyond the duration of the laser pulse. A transient signal observed at negative delays in the two-colour experiments is attributed to biexcitonic coherence. The use of the two colours allows the purely biexcitonic contribution to be resolved from any other many-body or excitonic contributions at negative delays; therefore the transient signal observed indicates the creation of biexcitons in the ZnO quantum well at room temperature. Coherence times as long as 480 fs at room temperature are found for both excitons and biexcitons and are shown to be independent of implantation dose.","PeriodicalId":347755,"journal":{"name":"2006 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121641224","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}

Although, voltage multipliers are suitable structures for achieving high DC voltages, the reduced junction breakdown-voltage of today's CMOS technology and body-effect complications restrict the maximum output voltage of these integrated circuits to voltages lower than the required. In order to circumvent these restrictions, a micro-electromechanical switch architecture is proposed to replace the ordinary MOS-based voltage multipliers. In this paper, required modifications to the conventional voltage multiplier architecture are proposed. A study on the suitable switch configuration is also reported.","PeriodicalId":347755,"journal":{"name":"2006 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124133902","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 interdiffusion of Al and N into ZnO layers and Zn and O into AlN layers are evaluated by SIMS. It was found that the diffusions of Al atoms were affected by the crystal quality of AlN layers and growth temperature.

A good fit to the data has been obtained for band-to-band tunnelling and surface generation-recombination current, but not for trap-assisted-tunnelling (TAT) current. This is attributed to the exclusion of interface states in the model, the complicated TAT behaviour, as well as two-dimensional effects.","PeriodicalId":347755,"journal":{"name":"2006 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117325979","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}
