{"title":"Enhanced functionality in GaN and SiC devices by using novel processing","authors":"S. Pearton, C. Abernathy, B. Gila, F. Ren, J. Zavada, S. Chu","doi":"10.1109/ISDRS.2003.1272107","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISDRS.2003.1272107","url":null,"abstract":"Some examples of recent advances in enhancing or adding functionality to GaN and SiC devices through the use of novel processing techniques are discussed. The first example is the use of ion implantation to incorporate transition metals such as Mn, Cr and Co at atomic percent levels in the wide bandgap semiconductors to produce room temperature ferromagnetism. A discussion is given of the phase space within which single-phase material can be obtained and the requirements for demonstrating the presence of a true dilute magnetic semiconductor. The ability to make GaN and SiC ferromagnetic leads to the possibility of magnetic devices with gain, spin fets operating at low voltages and spin polarized light emitters. The second example is the use of novel oxides such as Sc/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and MgO as gate dielectrics or surface passivants on GaN. True inversion behavior has been demonstrated in gated MOS-GaN diodes with implanted n-regions supplying the minority carriers need for inversion. These oxide layers also effectively mitigate current collapse in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs through their passivation of surface states in the gate-drain region. The third example is the use of laser drilling to make through-wafer via holes in SiC, sapphire and GaN. The ablation rate is sufficiently high that this maskless, serial process appears capable of achieving similar throughput to the more conventional approach of plasma etching of vias. The fourth example is the use of either ungated AlGaN/GaN HEMTs or simple GaN and SiC Schottky diodes as sensors for chemicals, biogens, radiation, combustion gases or strain. The sensitivity of either the channel carrier density or the barrier height to changes in surface condition make these materials systems ideal for compact, robust sensors capable of operating at elevated temperatures.","PeriodicalId":369241,"journal":{"name":"International Semiconductor Device Research Symposium, 2003","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115828433","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 effect of ISE structure for the highly improved short-channel effect of sub-100 nm MOSFET is demonstrated in this model. Both sidewall-oxide thickness (T/sub side/) and shallow-extension depth (X/sub e/) play the major roles in containing the short-channel effect. The short-channel threshold-voltage equation is derived from the knowledge of the channel potential. The channel potential is obtained by the scale-length approach to solve 2D Poisson's equation. Excellent agreements between the numerical simulated results and this model are obtained.","PeriodicalId":369241,"journal":{"name":"International Semiconductor Device Research Symposium, 2003","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123393391","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}
