The TDEL device consists of a metal-insulator-semiconductor-insulator-metal (MISIM) stacked film structure built upon a transparent glass substrate. The high dielectric constant and break down field of PZT thick dielectric film along with the other thin film stacks has enabled a significantly higher charge (>3 /spl mu/C/cm/sup 2/) transport across the phosphor layer. Furthermore, the nano-porous PZT film has reduced the intensity of high field points in the device, resulting in a steeper luminance-voltage slope after device turn-on. We have also found that the phosphor electric field of the TDEL surpasses that of a thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) device, resulting in higher efficiencies under same biasing conditions.","PeriodicalId":369241,"journal":{"name":"International Semiconductor Device Research Symposium, 2003","volume":"6 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":"114218000","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 allows IDDQ measurement for every vector used for logic testing, performing logic testing simultaneously, providing a promising IDDQ fault coverage and reducing substantially the time and cost of testing. Three basic test development strategies are considered. They are functional test development, structural test development and physical defect test development. Mixed-mode testing facility is adopted to enhance the performance and reduce the testing time.","PeriodicalId":369241,"journal":{"name":"International Semiconductor Device Research Symposium, 2003","volume":"40 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":"120963040","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 has primarily been achieved through the use of nonlinear diodes to extend microwave functionality to high frequencies.
