Superjunction-LDMOS devices have shown to offer a low on-resistance while extending the off-state breakdown voltage by the virtue of increasing depletion area in the drift region. This makes them highly suitable in fast switching applications. While they display an outstanding OFF-state performance, these devices severely suffer from space charge modulation (SCM) leading to quasisaturation (QS) effects under high current conditions. This not only affects the operation of the device, but also degrades its safe operating area. Thus, designing such devices in order to meet the off-state requirements while mitigating SCM/QS effect is challenging. Design of a superjunction (SJ) implant in the drift region is reliant on the key process and geometrical variables such as doping, thickness, position and length of the implant, as well as, on the layout parameters like drift-doping and driftscaling. These device design parameters can be optimized individually or in combination of individual parameters in order to enhance the performance of the device. This work focuses on developing an elaborate understanding of the impact of geometrical parameters on the SCM/QS effects while proposing design guidelines aiming to mitigate these ON-state operation challenges and maximize the device performance.","PeriodicalId":436884,"journal":{"name":"2020 5th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125021011","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 most advanced SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology (55-nm BiCMOS) demonstrates room temperature cut-off frequency ($f_{mathrm{t}}$) and maximum oscillation frequency ($f_{max}$) of 320 GHz and 370 GHz respectively. In this paper, we performed TCAD analysis to investigate the performance metrics, $f_{mathrm{t}}$ and $f_{max}$ of the SiGe HBT at different cryogenic temperatures. The calibrated Gummel characteristics reveals that a record DC current gain of $1.2times 10^{4}$ is obtained at 77 K for $mathrm{V}_{text{BE}}=mathrm{V}_{text{CE}}=1.2 mathrm{V}$. The HBT device employs bandgap engineering by linearly varying the Ge concentration in the base region, which enhances the device performance. Both the bandgap engineering with linearly graded Germanium (Ge) profile (induces intrinsic drift field in the base) and the cryogenic operation of the HBT device results in enhancement of $f_{mathrm{t}}$ and $f_{max}$. Our simulations predict that the value of peak $f_{mathrm{t}}$ decreases below 100 K due to increase in the emitter junction capacitance and the peak $f_{max}$ increase is due to decrease in collector junction capacitance and base resistance. The aggregate metric $f_{mathrm{t}}+f_{max} > 1.2 text{THz}$ is achieved under cryogenic condition without scaling the device, this advantage can be utilized in the THz device applications.","PeriodicalId":436884,"journal":{"name":"2020 5th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124101423","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 MoSe2 nanostructures MSM detector shows photoresponse in the wide infrared range (1000-2400 nm) with a maximum photoresponse of ∼ 2.75 A/W at 2000 nm in the SWIR spectra. The synthesis process results in an imperfect growth of the MoSe2 nanostructures, which leads to defects in the lattice. These defects caused high SWIR optical absorption beyond its normal range. Under applied stress, change in photoresponse has been observed in the device due to the piezo-photonic effect in MoSe2 and barrier height modulation at the MoSe2-metal interface.

After UV exposure, the stiffness of the SU-8 polymer is considered to be varied and measured with the Nano-indentation technique, and the spring constant is calculated with the graphical method. Comparative study of different materials is shown by simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5.

SU-8 MEMS can be integrated with Si-technology for CMOS-based post-processing circuitry. The stress analysis investigates the spring and structural reliability of the designed micro accelerometers. The computational results of designed accelerometers showed a linear response up to ±50 g of acceleration's input value.
