This makes it possible to evaluate signal propagation along arbitrary network, including non-linear devices. Distributed device simulation is exploited, allowing actual fabrication-technology parameters to be taken into account. Charge-transport properties of GaAs are considered, and the simulation of a Gunn-diode based oscillator, working in the 20 GHz range, is illustrated. Introduction GaAs Gunn devices are customarily used for the implementation of microwave and millimeter-wave oscillators. An accurate analysis of such kind of circuits poses a number of challenging problems: the operating mode of Gunn-diode based harmonic oscillators, in fact, inherently involves quite complex charge transfer mechanisms, occurring within the solidstate device, and, at the same time, strongly depends on the electromagnetic propagation effects in the surrounding circuit. In this summary, a comprehensive circuit-simulation technique is presented, which selfconsistently takes into account the charge-transport properties of GaAs (by means of numerical device-simulation algorithms) and the details of fi eldpropagation along the passive network. The approach described in [1] has been extended here to GaAs devices, and applied to the analysis of an active antenna exploiting a Gunn diode. Analysis method The simulation scheme can be regarded as an extension of the Lumped-Element FiniteDifference Time-Domain algorithm [2]. In most devices of practical interest, the activedevice size is small, compared with signal wavelength, so that EM-fi eldpropagation can be neglected within the device itself; under such an assumption, two sets of equations are then to be almost independently solved: namely, a full-wave solution of Maxwell’s equations is obtained on the passive network domain, whereas quasi-stationary device equations describe the lumped-element behavior. Interaction between the device(s) and the passive network is accounted for by means of proper formulation of boundary conditions for both systems. Compact device models can be incorporated along the lines described in [3], while in [1] distributed modeling of silicon solid-state device has been introduced. To this purpose, transport equations (in the drift-diffusion approximation) are discretized and numerically solved over a distributed domain[4]. Here, the method is extended to GaAs by accounting for the empirical relationship among electric fi eldand electron mobility [5]: The expression above has been discretized and incorporated into the mixed-mode simulation code. Simulation results The structure sketched in Fig. 1 has been simulated; it consists of a single element of an array antenna, fabricated by etching the metalization plane of a single-side, copper-plated substrate. An aperture of 27.5 0.8 mm is obtained, across which a GaAs Gunn diode is","PeriodicalId":424167,"journal":{"name":"27th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115389431","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}

Surface channel (SC) pMOSFET with p polysilicon has been known as a good candidate to improve SCE while BC pMOSFET has poor SCE. However, SC pMOSFET has several disadvantages, for example, process complexity, boron penetration, and low hole mobility. Especially, gate depletion, which degrades drive current, due to insufficient polysilicon doping becomes more severe for thin gate oxide. Therefore the use of BC pMOSFET is profitable if SCE of BC pMOSFET can be sufficiently reduced. In recent, many of technologies have been proposed to suppress SCE in BC pMOSFET. A 0.15 BC pMOSFET with conventional arsenic punchthrough stopper [1], tilt implanted punchthrough stopper [2], and co-implanted punchthrough stopper with arsenic and phosphorous [3] have been reported. In this report, double arsenic punchthrough stopper (DAPS) is proposed to improve SCE in BC pMOSFET and compared with the conventional structure and the tilt implanted punchthrough stopper structure by using arsenic.","PeriodicalId":424167,"journal":{"name":"27th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125474373","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}
