The advective upstream splitting method (AUSM) developed for fluid dynamics problems has been applied to solving hydrodynamic semiconductor equations coupled with the Poisson’s equation. In the AUSM, the flux vectors of a fluid system are split into a convective component and a diffusive pressure component. Discretization of these two physically distinct fluxes is thus performed separately in AUSM. Application of the developed hydrodynamic AUSM to a GaAs MESFET with a gate length of 0.1 μm has demonstrated its simplicity, efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with the highly nonlinear hydrodynamic device system.

Various Cahn–Hilliard (CH) energy functionals have been introduced to model phase separation in multi-component system. Mathematically consistent models have highly nonlinear terms linked together, thus it is not well-known how to split this type of energy. In this paper, we propose a new convex splitting and a constrained Convex Splitting (cCS) scheme based on the splitting. We show analytically that the cCS scheme is mass conserving and satisfies the partition of unity constraint at the next time level. It is uniquely solvable and energy stable. Furthermore, we combine the convex splitting with the specially designed implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta method to develop a high-order (up to third-order) cCS scheme for the multi-component CH system. We also show analytically that the high-order cCS scheme is unconditionally energy stable. Numerical experiments with ternary and quaternary systems are presented, demonstrating the accuracy, energy stability, and capability of the proposed high-order cCS scheme.

AbstractTwo major concerns for silicidation of ultra-shallow junctions, namely the silicon-consumption- induced junction leakage and the series resistance increase, were compared among conventional post-junction-silicide (PJS) contact, silicide-as-a-diffusion-source (SADS) contact, Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) contact, and elevated-source-drain (ESD) contact. Even though we found that ESD contacts would be the ultimate solution for both problems, SOI and SADS contacts provide better resistance to silicon-consumption-induced series resistance increase over conventional PJS contact because both are able to maintain a high dopant concentration at the silicide/silicon interface and thus a low specific contact resistivity. While there is no junction leakage concern for SOI contact, the SADS junction is also distinguished by low leakage owing to its lack of implant damage in the silicon substrate and uniformly doped junction along the silicide/silicon interface contour. MOSFET devices with SADS source/drain were demonstrated with quarter-μm technology. Epitaxial cobalt disilicide (CoSi2) was formed using the Ti/Co bilayer technique as a diffusion source. While both ESD and SOI processes still suffer from process complexity, integration and materials issues, we conclude that SADS contacting is a promising alternative for deep submicron devices.
