The metal films were obtained by magnetron deposition in Ar plasma. Detailed investigations of surface morphology and chemical composition of the layers by SEM and AES depth profiling have been performed too. A shift of the flat band voltage (/spl Delta/V/sub js/), obtained from the measurements of capacitance voltage characteristics was used as a response of a MIS structure on the supplying of gas pulses. Such gases as hydrogen, humidity, and air (oxygen) were tested by the sensors. The kinetics of the responses was studied experimentally and compared with the results of a computer simulation. To investigate the stability of the MIS structures they were subjected to an accelerated artificial aging by annealing in air at 100-250/spl deg/C during 0.3-3 h. It was found that MIS sensors with Pd/Cu composite layer demonstrate higher sensitivity to hydrogen and higher stability under artificial aging than similar structure with Pd layer only.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.

In case of applying -5 V, which moves E/sub F/ towards the valence band edge, the DOS distribution is dominated by a peak at 0.61 eV below the conduction band edge and in case of 0 V, when E/sub F/ is around midgap, a peak in the DOS distribution is formed at 0.80 eV. In both cases light soaking leads to an increase in the DOS and a formation of a subband at 0.90 eV.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98. Conference Proceedings.

Application-oriented modeling does not only allow the visualization of fabrication processes and operational principles, but it also assists the designer in making decisions with a view to finding optimized microstructures under technological and economical constraints. The long-term vision is the automated optimization of microsystems according to customer-supplied specifications in a computer-based \"virtual factory\" prior to the real fabrication. To this end, strong efforts have to be made towards a predictive \"CAD tool box\" for top-down and closed-loop simulation of microsystems. We discuss the most important aspects to be focussed on and practicable methodologies for microdevice and system modeling such as the consistent treatment of coupled fields and coupled domains, physically-based modes for full system and mixed-mode simulation, and the reliable validation and calibration of models.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.

The real structural parameters of a more perfect grating were extracted from fitting the measured grating truncation rods. The simulations are based on the matrix modal eigenvalue approach of the dynamical theory of reflectivity by gratings which generalizes the Fresnel transmission and reflection coefficients for lateral diffraction. The interface imperfections are taken into account by the coherent amplitude approach which averages the propagation matrices of the wave field over random interface displacements.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.
