In this work we carried out electrical characterization of n-GaAs implanted at 300 K with high energy (100 MeV)28Si and120Sn ions to a fluence of 1x1018ions/m2using current–voltage (I-V) measurements. The as implanted samples and samples annealed in the temperature range 373-1123 K have been investigated. Resistance of the samples obtained from I-V curves recorded over the temperature range 110K-270K indicate that the samples implanted with28Si and annealed up to 623 K and the samples implanted with120Sn and annealed up to 723K shows tunnel assisted hoping conduction mechanism. In the other hand,28Si implanted samples annealed to 723K and 823K and120Sn implanted samples annealed to 823K and 923K the electrical conduction mechanism is dominated by thermal hoping between closed defect states.

In this paper, we investigated growth of GaN pn-homo junction layers on silicon (111) by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) system and its application for photo-sensors. Silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) were used in this study as n- and p-dopants, respectively. Structural and optical analysis of the GaN homo-junction samples were performed by using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) to analyze the crystalline quality of the samples. Surprisingly, the Raman analysis has revealed that there is no quenching of the A1 (LO) peak, with the presence of Si - and Mg -dopants in sample. The pn-junctions sample has good optical quality as measured by the PL system. Electrical characterization of the photo-sensors was carried out by using current–voltage (I–V) measurements.

ABSTRACTStructural and electrical characterization of laser recrystallized LPCVD silicon films on amorphous substrates using a shaped cw laser beam have been performed. In comparing the results to data obtained using a circular beam, it was found that a significant increase in grain size can be achieved and that the surface morphology of the shaped beam recrystallized material was much smoother. It was also found that whereas circular beam recrystallized material has a random grain structure, shaped beam material is highly oriented with a <100> texture. Finally the electrical characteristics of the recrystallized film were very good when measured in directions parallel to the grain boundaries.

In this study, 4H-SiC p–n junctions were irradiated with 700 keV He+ ions in the fluence range 1.0 × 1012 to 1.0 × 1015 ions/cm2. The effects of irradiation were investigated by current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements, while deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) was used to study the traps introduced by irradiation defects. Modifications of the device’s electrical performances were observed after irradiation, and two fluence regimes were identified. In the low fluence range (≤1013 ions/cm2), I–V characteristics evidenced an increase in series resistance, which can be associated with the decrease in the dopant concentration, as also denoted by C–V measurements. In addition, the pre-exponential parameter of junction generation current increased with fluence due to the increase in point defect concentration. The main produced defect states were the Z1/2, RD1/2, and EH6/7 centers, whose concentrations increased with fluence. At high fluence (>1013 ions/cm2), I–V curves showed a strong decrease in the generation current, while DLTS evidenced a rearrangement of defects. The detailed electrical characterization of the p–n junction performed at different temperatures highlights the existence of conduction paths with peculiar electrical properties introduced by high fluence irradiation. The results suggest the formation of localized highly resistive regions (realized by agglomeration of point defects) in parallel with the main junction.

AbstractThe feasibility of Si-implanted TiN as a diffusion barrier between Cu and Si was investigated. Barrier effectiveness was evaluated via reverse leakage current of Cu/TixSiyNz/Si diodes as a function of post-deposition annealing temperature and time, and was found to depend heavily on the film composition and microstructure. TiN implanted with Si28, l0keV, 5xl016ions/cm2 formed an amorphous ternary TixSiyNz layer whose performance as a barrier to Cu diffusion exceeded that of unimplanted, polycrystalline TiN. Results from current-voltage, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Auger depth profiling measurements will be presented. The relationship between Si-implantation dose, TixSiyNz structure and reverse leakage current of Cu/TixSiyNz/Si diodes will be discussed, along with implications as to the suitability of these structures in Cu metallization.

ABSTRACTExperimental analysis and simulation of the formation and electrical characterization of TiSi2/+/p-Si shallow junctions are presented here. The formation of shallow n+-p junction, by ion implantation of As through Ti films evaporated on p-Si substrates followed by Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) and conventional furnace annealing has been performed in these experiments. Structural techniques such as Secondary Ion Mass Spec-troscopy (SIMS) and Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) experiments have been employed to characterize these devices. RUMP simulations were used to analyze and interpret the RBS data. Current-voltage characteristics have been simulated using PISCES simulator.

This paper describes an experimental work on the electrical characterization of commercial LED of different colors and their photoelectric effect. A research work has been carried out to develop the experimental measurement in order to show the presence of a photovoltaic effect on LEDs. For this purpose, we measured the electrical characteristics of individual LED and studied their light intensities using a pyranometer EPLEY. This work focused mainly on red, green and yellowLEDs. Moreover, we have implemented an experimental system for the measurement of sensitivity of different LEDs depending on the power of light from a light source. A comparison was made between theoretical model and experimental results.

In this paper, we present results of the electrical characterization of n-Si/p-Cu–Zn–Se hetero-structure. Sputtered film was found in Se-rich behavior with tetragonal polycrystalline nature along with (112) preferred orientation. The band gap energy for direct optical transitions was obtained as 2.65 eV. The results of the conductivity measurements indicated p-type behavior and carrier transport mechanism was modelled according to thermionic emission theory. Detailed electrical characterization of this structure was carried out with the help of temperature-dependent current–voltage measurements in the temperature range of 220–360 K, room temperature, and frequency-dependent capacitance–voltage and conductance-voltage measurements. The anomaly in current–voltage characteristics was related to barrier height inhomogeneity at the interface and modified by the assumption of Gaussian distribution of barrier height, in which mean barrier height and standard deviation at zero bias were found as 2.11 and 0.24 eV, respectively. Moreover, Richardson constant value was determined as 141.95 Acm−2K−2 by means of modified Richardson plot.
