This simulator uses the boundary conditions at the interface taking into account the surface (interface) recombination, the above-barrier transport of major carriers and Schockley-Read recombination in the space charge region. For calculation of electron-hole pairs generation rate the special spectral dependence of the reflection coefficient of light was used, that is characteristic for microrelief interface of metal-semiconductor structure. The morphology and statistical geometric properties of interface were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM).","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

New developments are related to the non-electronics structures, including sensors and actuators. The fact that they can be brought down in size and cost and fabricated with the same technology as the electronic devices, paves the way to the monolithic integration of systems (i.e. a complete system on a chip). The fabrication of nanostructures (structures with characteristic features of a few nanometers) also shows a big promise for information and communication technologies, because new quantum devices may offer new attractive solutions for information sensing, storage, computation, transfer processing and display. The nanotechnology brings us much closer to the chemical and biological world and allows much accurate and comprehensive experiments in fundamental sciences. The next step will be the development of biomimetic system and revolutionary technologies inspired from nature. To a large extent even when silicon is not preferred as a basic material, the present day microelectronics is a starting point for new developments. With an enormous potential. Microelectronics seems to be like a highway constructed on an unexplored continent of challenges and possibilities.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

The best known form of low dimensional silicon is porous silicon but other materials of low dimensional silicon, in the form of nanocrystallites or nanowires within insulating matrices, can be fabricated. Their application in silicon based optoelectronics is a challenging one. In this respect, both materials and fabrication techniques need to be compatible with the existing silicon technology. In this paper, the fabrication and properties of low dimensional silicon (nanowires in the form of silicon nanopillars on bulk crystalline silicon and nanocrystallites deposited on thin SiO/sub 2/ layers) will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

This paper presents several results of a different approach: one stage, class AB configurations, operating in open-loop or at most having some internal feedback. Three such configurations are compared: the simple complementary source follower and two combinations of the complementary source follower and common source stages, the latter driven by supplementary error opamps or directly by the source follower. The three buffers were designed for low-voltage, low-power and optimised for speed. Their bandwidth, output impedance and total harmonic distortion are compared under equal conditions of voltage supply and power consumption. Also, the possibility of driving capacitive loads and the implementation of CCII+ are discussed.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.
