Abstract:

The electron screening effect in the d(d,p)t reaction has been studied for deuterated metals, insulators, and semiconductors, i.e. 58 samples in total. As compared to measurements performed with a gaseous D2 target, a large effect has been observed in most metals, while a small (gaseous) effect is found e.g. for the insulators, semiconductors, and lanthanides. The periodic table provides the ordering of the observed small and large effects in the samples. An explanation of the large effects in metals is possibly provided by the classical plasma screening of Debye applied to the quasi-free metallic electrons. The data also provide information on the solubility of hydrogen in the samples.

Abstract:

Degenerate dense plasmas are of great interest due to their important applications in modern technology and astrophysics. Such plasmas have generated a lot of interest in the last decade owing to their importance in many areas of physics such as semiconductors, metals, microelectronics, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and quantum wells. Besides, degenerate plasmas present very interesting features for fusion burning waves’ ignition and propagation. In this paper, we investigated the effects of static magnetic field on energy states and degeneracy of electrons in dense plasma. Using perturbation theory, two cases are considered, strongly and weakly magnetized electrons. Strong magnetic field will not eliminate completely the degeneracy, but it functions to reduce degeneracy. Perturbed energy eigenvalues ΔE are calculated to high accuracy. Besides, regardless of whether the perturbed state is degenerate or not, the energy ΔE is given by considering the average of orbital and spin coupling Ws=ℵrL→·S→ with respect to the eigenfunction Ψn,l,m,ms. Here L→ is the angular momentum vector, S→ is the spin vector of electrons, and ℵr is the energy of spin orbit coupling in plasma, which plays a crucial role in the study of energy states and degeneracy of plasma electrons.

Abstract:

Electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor (EIS) sensors, used in applications such as pH sensing and sodium ion sensing, are the most basic type of ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) membranes. Currently, some of the most popular techniques for synthesizing such sensors are chemical vapor deposition, reactive sputtering and sol-gel deposition. However, there are certain limitations on such techniques, such as reliability concerns and isolation problems. In this research, a novel design of an EIS membrane consisting of an optical material of indium gallium oxide (IGO) was demonstrated. Compared with conventional treatment such as annealing, Ti doping and CF4 plasma treatment were incorporated in the fabrication of the film. Because of the effective treatment of doping and plasma treatment, the defects were mitigated and the membrane capacitance was boosted. Therefore, the pH sensitivity can be increased up to 60.8 mV/pH. In addition, the hysteresis voltage can be improved down to 2.1 mV, and the drift voltage can be suppressed to as low as 0.23 mV/h. IGO-based membranes are promising for future high-sensitivity and -stability devices integrated with optical applications.

Abstract:

In this paper we consider two different geometry of quasi one-dimensional semiconductors and calculate their exchange-correlation induced bandgap renormalization (BGR) as a function of the electron-hole plasma density and quantum wire width. Based on different fabrication scheme, we define suitable external confinement potential and then leading-order GW dynamical screening approximation is used in the calculation by treating electron–electron Coulomb interaction and electron-optical phonon interaction. Using a numerical scheme, screened Coulomb potential, probability of different states, profile of charge density and the values of the renormalized gap energy are calculated and the effects of variation of confinement potential width and temperature are studied.

Abstract:

Amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) has been studied extensively for their perspective applications in next generation active-matrix displays such as liquid crystal displays and flat-panel displays, due to its better field-effect mobility (>10 cm2/V · S), larger Ion/Ioff ratio (>106), and better stability electrical. Hydrogen is known as shallow donors for n-type (channel) oxide semiconductors (Dong, J.J., et al. 2010. Effects of hydrogen plasma treatment on the electrical and optical properties of Zno films: Identification of hydrogen donors in ZnO. ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, 2, pp.1780–1784), and it is also effective passivator for traps (Tsao, S.W., et al., 2010. Hydrogen-induced improvements in electrical characteristics of a-IGZO thin-film transistors. Solid-State Electron, 54, pp.1497–1499). In this study, In-Situ hydrogen plasma is applied to deposit IGZO channel. With atmospheric-pressure PECVD (AP-PECVD), IGZO thin film can be deposited without vacuum system, large area manufacturing, and cost reducing (Chang, K.M., et al., 2011. Transparent conductive indium-doped zinc oxide films prepared by atmospheric pressure plasma jet. Thin Solid Films, 519, pp.5114–5117). The results show that with appropriate flow ratio of Ar/H2 plasma treatment, the a-IGZO TFT device exhibits better performance with mobility (μFE) 19.7 cm2/V · S, threshold voltage (VT) 1.18 V, subthreshold swing (SS) 81 mV/decade, and Ion/Ioff ratio 5.35×107.

Abstract:

Introduction: In recent years a metal oxide semiconductors have been paid attention due to their excellent chemical and physical properties. ZnO (Zinc oxide) is considered as one of the most attractive semiconductor materials for implementation in photo-detectors, gas sensors, photonic crystals, light emitting diodes, photodiodes, and solar cells, due to its novel electrical and optoelectronic properties. There are different uses of metal oxide semiconductors such us, UV photodetectors which are useful in space research’s, missile warning systems, high ﬂame detectors, air quality spotting, gas sensors, and precisely calculated radiation for the treatment of UV-irradiated skin. ZnO is a metal oxide semiconductors and it is used as a transparent conducting oxide thin ﬁlm because it has the best higher thermal stability, best resistance against the damage of hydrogen plasma processing and relatively cheaper if one compares it with ITO. Materials and Methods: On glass substrates, Al-doped ZnO (AZO) nanorods have been grown by a low -cost chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at low temperature. The seed layer of ZnO was coated on glass substrates. The effect of the Al-doping on the aligned, surface morphology, density, distribution, orientation and structure of ZnO nanorods are investigated. The Al-doping ratios are 0%, 0.2%, 0.8% and 2%. The Aluminum Nitrate Nonahydrate (Al (NO3)3.9H2O) was added to the growth solution, which is used as a source of the aluminum dopant element. The morphology and structure of the Al-doped ZnO nanorods are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution X-ray diffractometer (XRD). using the radio RF (Radio frequency) magnetron technique. Results and Discussion: The results show that the Al-doping have remarkable effects on the topography parameters such as diameter, distribution, alignment, density and nanostructure shape of the ZnO nanorods. These topography parameters have proportionally effective with increases of the Al-doping ratio. Also, X-ray diffraction results show that the Al-doping ratio has a good playing role on the nanostructure orientation of the ZnO nanorods. Conclusions: The Aluminum Nitride Nanohydrate considered as a good Aluminum source for doping ZnONR. It is clear from FESEM results that the Al-doping of ZnONR has a remarkable effect on the surface topography of nanorods for all aluminum doping ratios. From XRD patterns, it concludes that as the Al-doping ratio increases, the reorientation of the nanostructure of ZnO increases towards [100] direction. The results obtained also have shown that the average diameter of a nanorod is increased with increasing the ratio of Al-doping.

Abstract:

This paper describes the history and science behind the development of modern flat-panel displays, and assesses future trends. Electronic displays are an important feature of modern life. For many years the cathode ray tube, an engineering marvel, was universal, but its shape was cumbersome and its operating voltage too high. The need for a flat-panel display, working at a low voltage, became imperative, and much research has been applied to this need. Any versatile flat-panel display will exploit an electro-optical effect, a transparent conductor and an addressing system to deliver data locally. The first need is to convert an electrical signal into a visible change. Two methods are available, the first giving emission of light, the second modulating ambient illumination. The most useful light-emitting media are semiconductors, historically exploiting III–V or II–VI compounds, but more recently organic or polymer semiconductors. Another possible effect uses gas plasma discharges. The modulating, or subtractive, effects that have been studied include liquid crystals, electrophoresis, electrowetting and electrochromism. A transparent conductor makes it possible to apply a voltage to an extended area while observing the results. The design is a compromise, since the free electrons that carry current also absorb light. The first materials used were metals, but some semiconductors, when heavily doped, give a better balance, with high transmission for a low resistance. Delivering data unambiguously to a million or so picture elements across the display area is no easy task. The preferred solution is an amorphous silicon thin-film transistor deposited at each cross-point in an X – Y matrix. Success in these endeavours has led to many applications for flat-panel displays, including television, flexible displays, electronic paper, electronic books and advertising signs.

AbstractWe studied the influence of the classical relativistic beam of electrons on the hole acoustic wave (HAW) instability exciting in the semiconductor quantum plasmas. We conducted this study by using the quantum-hydrodynamic model of dense plasmas, incorporating the quantum effects of semiconductor plasma species which include degeneracy pressure, exchange-correlation potential and Bohm potential. Analysis of the quantum characteristics of semiconductor plasma species along with relativistic effect of beam electrons on the dispersion relation of the HAW is given in detail qualitatively and quantitatively by plotting them numerically. It is worth mentioning that the relativistic electron beam (REB) stabilises the HAWs exciting in semiconductor (GaAs) degenerate plasma.

AbstractThe possibilities of surface plasma wave (SPW) on a metal-vacuum interface in semiconductor quantum plasma by considering the effects of Coulomb exchange (CE) interaction and the spin-polarization has been explored. The dispersion for the SPW has been setup using the modified quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model taking into account the Fermi pressure, the quantum Bohm force, the CE, and the electron spin. The optical gain of SPW has been evaluated. It is found that CE effects and spin-polarization increases the wave frequency and enhances the gain during the stimulated emission.

Abstract:

AbstractSilicon photonics has been established as a mature and promising technology for optoelectronic integrated circuits, mostly based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide platform. However, not all optical functionalities can be satisfactorily achieved merely based on silicon, in general, and on the SOI platform, in particular. Long-known shortcomings of silicon-based integrated photonics are optical absorption (in the telecommunication wavelengths) and feasibility of electrically-injected lasers (at least at room temperature). More recently, high two-photon and free-carrier absorptions required at high optical intensities for third-order optical nonlinear effects, inherent lack of second-order optical nonlinearity, low extinction ratio of modulators based on the free-carrier plasma effect, and the loss of the buried oxide layer of the SOI waveguides at mid-infrared wavelengths have been recognized as other shortcomings. Accordingly, several novel waveguide platforms have been developing to address these shortcomings of the SOI platform. Most of these emerging platforms are based on heterogeneous integration of other material systems on silicon substrates, and in some cases silicon is integrated on other substrates. Germanium and its binary alloys with silicon, III–V compound semiconductors, silicon nitride, tantalum pentoxide and other high-index dielectric or glass materials, as well as lithium niobate are some of the materials heterogeneously integrated on silicon substrates. The materials are typically integrated by a variety of epitaxial growth, bonding, ion implantation and slicing, etch back, spin-on-glass or other techniques. These wide range of efforts are reviewed here holistically to stress that there is no pure silicon or even group IV photonics per se. Rather, the future of the field of integrated photonics appears to be one of heterogenization, where a variety of different materials and waveguide platforms will be used for different purposes with the common feature of integrating them on a single substrate, most notably silicon.

Abstract:

The electrophonon resonance (EPR) effect in doped semiconductor superlattices (DSSL) are investigated by using the quantum kinetic equation (QKE) for electrons to obtain the general analytic expression for optical absorption coefficient. We also obtain an EPR condition as a function of the photon energy and plasma energy. In particular, anomalous behaviors of the EPR effect such as the splitting of EPR peaks for incident photon energy or plasma energy are discussed. This raises a possibility of detecting electric subbands in DSSLs experimentally by utilizing EPR effects.

The extension of a new theory on the X-ray energy response of semiconductor detectors is carried out to characterize the X-ray response of a multichannel semiconductor detector fabricated on one silicon wafer. Recently, these multichannel detectors have been widely utilized for position-sensitive observations in various research fields, including synchrotron radiation research and fusion-plasma investigations. This article represents the verification of the physics essentials of a proposed theory on the X-ray response of semiconductor detectors. The three-dimensional charge-diffusion effects on the adjoining detector-channel signals are experimentally demonstrated at the Photon Factory for two types of multichannel detectors. These findings are conveniently applicable for measuring diffusion lengths for industrial requirements.

Abstract:

In the present paper, an analytical study has been presented to examine the acousto–electric interactions in piezoelectric inhomogeneous semiconductor quantum plasma. The analysis is made by deriving the quantum-modified dispersion relation and subsequently deducing the expression of gain coefficient of acoustic wave using quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model for inhomogeneous semiconductor plasma. The linearly and quadratically varying plasma density profiles have been chosen to investigate the effects of inhomogeneity through density gradient. We address the role of quantum parameter-H, scale length of density variation L and propagation distance z on gain profiles of acoustic wave. It has been found that the presence of these parameters can significantly modify the crossover and resonance characteristics of acoustic wave. Results reveal that the crossover point for wave amplification is found to be greater than unity in inhomogeneous quantum plasma media while the resonance condition is effectively influenced by these parameters in all the considered cases. We found that more acoustic gain would be possible if the acoustic mode propagates from low to high plasma density region in the medium. It is also found that as the medium tends to have high inhomogeneity, more pronounced modifications on resonance characteristics of acoustic wave are expected.

Abstract:

AbstractThe development of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) relies on an understanding of gain-medium physics, more so than in edge-emitting lasers. An important tool in the investigation of semiconductor gain behavior is a theory that provides a systematic account of the interaction between the laser field and the electron–hole plasma, the influence of the band structure, and the many-body effects due to Coulomb interactions among carriers. This article describes a semiclassical approach that is based on the semiconductor Bloch equations, with carrier correlation effects described at the level of quantum kinetic theory. To illustrate its application, we discuss research activities involving the development of gain media for long-wavelength VCSELs.

Abstract:

Plasma etching technology is an indispensable processing method in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices. Because of the high fluorine/carbon ratio of CF4, the CF4 gas is often used for etching SiO2. A commercial software ESI-CFD is used to simulate the process of plasma etching with an inductively coupled plasma model. For the simulation part, CFD-ACE is used to simulate the chamber, and CFD-TOPO is used to simulate the surface of the sample. The effects of chamber pressure, bias voltage and ICP power on the reactant particles were investigated, and the etching profiles of SiO2 were obtained. Simulation can be used to predict the effects of reaction conditions on the density, energy and angular distributions of reactant particles, which can play a good role in guiding the etching process.

Abstract:

Silicon nitride (SiNx:H) films were deposited on both InP and Si substrates at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400 °C by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma chemical-vapour deposition. The silicon source used was ditertiary butyl silane (SiH2(C4H9)2) that was activated by ECR plasmas composed of nitrogen alone or in combination with hydrogen or argon. The effects of various deposition parameters on the film properties are reported. The film indices of refraction ranged from 1.85 to 2.0, while the buffered HF etch rates were as low as 6 Å min−1 (1 Å = 10−10 m). Si/N ratios of the films ranged from 0.70 to 2.5, while the total hydrogen content was found to be approximately 20 to 25 at.%. Incorporation of carbon from the organic silicon source was efficiently suppressed (< 1%) by the addition of a small amount of H2 to the ECR plasma gas. To study the electrical properties of the SiNx:H films, metal–insulator–semiconductor structures were fabricated. Film resistivities as high as 2 × 1015 Ω cm and insulator dielectric constants from 4 to 5 were measured.

Abstract:

In semiconductor industry, low-dielectric-constant SiCOH films are widely used as inter-metal dielectric (IMD) material to reduce a resistance-capacitance delay, which could degrade performances of semiconductor chips. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system has been employed to fabricate the low-dielectric-constant SiCOH films. In this work, among various parameters (plasma power, deposition pressure, substrate temperature, precursor injection flow rate, etc.), helium carrier gas flow rate was used to modulate the properties of the low-dielectric-constant SiCOH films. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) precursor and helium were injected into the process chamber of PECVD. And then SiCOH films were deposited varying helium carrier gas flow rate. As helium carrier gas flow rate increased from 1500 to 5000 sccm, refractive indices were increased from 1.389 to 1.428 with enhancement of mechanical strength, i.e., increased hardness and elastic modulus from 1.7 and 9.1 GPa to 3.3 and 19.8 GPa, respectively. However, the relative dielectric constant (k) value was slightly increased from 2.72 to 2.97. Through analysis of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the effects of the helium carrier gas flow rate on chemical structure, were investigated. It was thought that the increase in helium carrier gas flow rate could affect the density with changes of chemical structure and composition. In conclusion, regulation of helium carrier gas flow rate can effectively modulate k values and mechanical strength, which is needed for IMD material in semiconductor fabrication possess.

Abstract:

This study examines the effects of plasma-induced damage (PID) on Hf-based high-k/dual metal-gates transistors processed with advanced complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. In addition to the gate dielectric degradations, this study demonstrates that thinning the gate dielectric reduces the impact of damage on transistor reliability including the positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) of n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (NMOSFETs) and the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) of p-channel MOSFETs. This study shows that high-k/metal-gate transistors are more robust against PID than conventional SiO2/poly-gate transistors with similar physical thickness. Finally this study proposes a model that successfully explains the observed experimental trends in the presence of PID for high-k/metal-gate CMOS technology.

Abstract:

Low-dielectric-constant SiCOH films fabricated using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are widely used as inter-metallic dielectric (IMD) layers in interconnects of semiconductor chips. In this work, SiCOH films were deposited with 1,1,1,3,5,7,7,7-octamethyl-3,5-bis(trimethylsiloxy)tetrasiloxane (OMBTSTS), and plasma treatment was performed by an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system with mixture of He and H2. The values of relative dielectric constant (k) of the as-deposited SiCOH films ranged from 2.64 to 4.19. The He/H2 plasma treatment led to a reduction of the k values of the SiCOH films from 2.64–4.19 to 2.07–3.94. To investigate the impacts of the He/H2 plasma treatment on the SiCOH films, the chemical compositions and structures of the as-deposited and treated the SiCOH films were compared by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that the k value of the SiCOH films was decreased, there was a proportional increase in pore-related Si–O–Si structure, which is commonly called the cage structure with lager angle than 144°, after He/H2 plasma treatment. The He/H2 plasma treatment was considered to have reduced the k value by forming pores that could be represented by the cage structure. On the other hand, the leakage current density of the SiCOH films was slightly degraded by He/H2 plasma treatment, however, this was tolerable for IMD application. Concludingly the He/H2 plasma treated SiCOH film has the lowest relative dielectric constant (k~2.08) when the most highly hydrocarbon removal and cage structure formation increased.

Male and female Wistar rats were exposed to waste gas arising from a plasma etching process in the semiconductor industries for six hr per day, five days per week, for four weeks in order to characterize subacute organ toxicity and genotoxicity. The waste gas was a complex mixture of different chlorinated hydrocarbons, inorganic by-products, and unused process gases, diluted by room air. Neither death nor behavioral changes occurred after subacute exposure. No significant exposure-related effects on body weight gain, hematology, or cardiovascular parameters were observed. Only slight effects on organ weights and clinical chemistry were seen in the exposed animals. The exposed rats of both sexes showed statistically significant increases in chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges in bone marrow cells.

Abstract:

A possibility to realize thermotunable isotropic negative-index metamaterials up to terahertz regime is theoretically investigated. The proposed composite metamaterials consist of dielectric spheres embedded randomly in a semiconductor host medium. As the variation in the intrinsic carrier density in InSb due to a variation in temperature thus changes the plasma frequency, we show theoretically the provided composite metamaterials whose index of refraction is thermally tunable and potentially less propagation loss. Furthermore, the effects of the radius of the dielectric sphere on the modulation frequency and bandwidth are discussed. Finally, we find that the design parameters for the composites can be scaled for application in the higher frequency regions.
