PHOTOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF MnIn2S4 SINGLE CRYSTALS

The spectral distribution of the photoconductivity and the temperature dependence of the photocurrent of MnIn2S4 single crystals are investigated. The intrinsic, impurity photoconductivity and a maximum at an energy of 2.69 eV, which is associated with the intracenter transition of Mn2+ ions (6A1→4A1), are revealed in the photoconductivity spectrum. The region of the wavelengths of 600–1000 nm appears with an excess of manganese in the crystals and is caused by a donor defect. At temperatures of 80—145 K, the increase in the photocurrent is associated with the thermal depletion of the adhesion levels. The activation energy of the adhesion levels is determined.

Automatic Parameter Extraction Technique for MOS Structures by C-V Characterization Including the Effects of Interface States

An automatic MOS structure parameter extraction algorithm accounting for quantum effects has been developed and applied in the semiconductor device analyzer Agilent B1500A. Parameter extraction is based on matching the experimental C-V data with numerical modeling results. The algorithm is used to extract the parameters of test MOS structures with ultrathin gate dielectrics. The applicability of the algorithm for the determination of distribution function of DOS and finding the donor defect level in silicon is shown.
