The electronic systems of aerospace techniques include power microwave devices and analog and digital semiconductor devices. The radiation of power microwave devices may effect on the semiconductor devices. So it’s necessary to know the electromagnetic effects of this radiation on the semiconductor devices. The electromagetic effects of the microwave radiation exposure on the semiconductor diodes, the main part of any semiconductor devices, are considered. The changes of current – voltage characteristics of the diodes are explained, outgoing from the model of the recombination of carriers through deep energy level recombination center in forbidden gap induced by microwave radiation field.

AbstractIn order to observe many-body localisation in electronic systems, decoupling from the lattice phonons is required, which is possible only in out-of-equilibrium systems. We show that such an electron-phonon decoupling may happen in suspended films and it manifests itself via a bistability in the electron temperature. By studying the electron-phonon cooling rate in disordered, suspended films with two-dimensional phonons, we derive the conditions needed for such a bistability, which can be observed experimentally through hysteretic jumps of several orders of magnitude in the nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. We demonstrate that such a regime is achievable in systems with an Arrhenius form of the equilibrium conductivity, while practically unreachable in materials with Mott or Efros–Shklovskii hopping.

ABSTRACTFor sub-5 nm oxides there are two different stages for breakdown; soft breakdown (SBD) and hard breakdown (HBD). It has been shown that both SBD and HBD exhibit the same statistics. Therefore, the physical mechanism governing them is the same. The major difference between them is the energy transferred from the capacitor to the localized conducting path. In this paper, a simple equivalent circuit is proposed to explain the effect of the measurement technique, oxide thickness, and test structure area on the detection of soft breakdown. Also an inelastic quantum tunneling model is proposed to discuss the current-voltage characteristics after SBD. The model is also successful in explaining the temperature dependence of SBD IV characteristics.

Measurements of the current-voltage characteristics of ion emission during the rupture of film samples of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, and polyphenylene ether in high vacuum have been carried out. Positive ions begin to be detected at a pulling potential of 100–200 V, and their number monotonically increases to saturation with increasing potential. Emission of negative ions is observed at a potential of << 200 V and in the range of 0–50 V has a resonance character, and the position of the resonance peaks is determined by the nature of the polymer. The discovered resonant nature of negative ion emission corresponds to the proposed physical mechanism of ion formation
