Semiconductor devices generally contain n- and p-doped regions. Doping is accomplished by incorporating certain impurity atoms that are substitutionally dissolved on lattice sites of the semiconductor crystal. In defect terminology, dopant atoms constitute extrinsic point defects. In this sense, the whole semiconductor industry is based on controlled introduction of specific point defects. This article addresses intrinsic point defects, ones that come from the native crystal. These defects govern the diffusion processes of dopants in semiconductors. Diffusion is the most basic process associated with the introduction of dopants into semiconductors. Since silicon and gallium arsenide are the most widely used semiconductors for microelectronic and optoelectronic device applications, this article will concentrate on these two materials and comment only briefly on other semiconductors.A main technological driving force for dealing with intrinsic point defects stems from the necessity to simulate dopant diffusion processes accurately. Intrinsic point defects also play a role in critical integrated circuit fabrication processes such as ion-implantation or surface oxidation. In these processes, as well as during crystal growth, intrinsic point defects may agglomerate and negatively impact the performance of electronic or photovoltaic devices. If properly controlled, point defects and their agglomerates may also be used to accomplish positive goals such as enhancing device performance or processing yield.

We identify a universality in the Fermi level change of Van der Waals interacting semiconductor interfaces. We show that the disappearing of quasi-Fermi level pinning at a certain thickness of semiconductor films for both intrinsic (undoped) and extrinsic (doped) semiconductors over a wide range of bulk systems including inorganic, organic, and even organic–inorganic hybridized semiconductors. The Fermi level ( EF) position located in the energy bandgap was dominated by not only the substrate work function (Φsub) but also the thickness of semiconductor films, in which the final EF shall be located at the position reflecting the thermal equilibrium of semiconductors themselves. Such universalities originate from the charge transfer between the substrate and semiconductor films after solving one-dimensional Poisson's equation. Our calculation resolves some of the conflicting results from experimental results determined by using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and unifies the general rule on extracting EF positions in energy bandgaps from (i) inorganic semiconductors to organic semiconductors and (ii) intrinsic (undoped) to extrinsic (doped) semiconductors. Our findings shall provide a simple analytical scaling for obtaining the “quantitative energy diagram” in the real devices, thus paving the way for a fundamental understanding of interface physics and designing functional devices.

Utilizing both charge and spin degrees of freedom of electrons simultaneously in magnetic semiconductors promises new device concepts by creating an opportunity to realize data processing, transportation and storage in one single spintronic device. Unlike most of the traditional diluted magnetic semiconductors, which obtain intrinsic ferromagnetism by adding magnetic elements to non-magnetic semiconductors, we attempt to develop room temperature magnetic semiconductors via a metal-semiconductor transition by introducing oxygen into three different ferromagnetic amorphous alloy systems. These magnetic semiconductors show different conduction types determined primarily by the compositions of the selected amorphous ferromagnetic alloy systems. These findings may pave a new way to realize magnetic semiconductor-based spintronic devices that work at room temperature.

Narrow gap III–V semiconductors have been investigated for semiconductor spintronics. By alloying these semiconductors with manganese magnetic semiconductors result. Large magnetoresistance (MR) effects have been observed in narrow gap magnetic semiconductor p–n heterojunctions. The MR which is positive is attributed to spin selective carrier scattering. For an InMnAs / InAs heterojunction a diode MR of 2680% is observed at room temperature and high magnetic fields. This work indicates that highly spin-polarized magnetic semiconductor heterojunctions can be realized that operate at room temperature. Devices based on the MR include spin diodes and bipolar magnetic junction transistors. We utilize the diode MR states to create a binary logic family.

Compound semiconductors, composed of two or more elements, differ from single-element semiconductors like silicon. These materials are crucial because they have a direct band gap, unlike elemental semiconductors such as silicon and germanium, making them ideal for optoelectronic applications like LEDs, semiconductor lasers, and photo detectors. Robots rely on sophisticated sensors to collect vital data for their operation, including internal data on temperature, moisture, movement, and position, as well as external data from images, infrared light, and sound, processed through semiconductor units. Compound semiconductors are integral to numerous technologies around us, including electric cars, solar panels, satellites, spacecraft, and smart phones. Future innovations like driverless cars and artificial intelligence will also heavily depend on these materials.

Organic semiconductor-based solar photovoltaic cells and sensors are scalable, printable, solution processable, bendable and light-weight. Furthermore, organic semiconductors require low energy fabrication process, hence can be fabricated at low cost as light-weight solar cells and sensors, coupled with the ease of processing, as well as compatibility, with flexible substrates. Organic semiconductors have been identified as a fascinating class of novel semiconductors that have the electrical and optical properties of metals and semiconductors. The continuous demand to improve the properties of organic semiconductors raises the quest for a deep understanding of fundamental issues and relevant electronic processes. Organic semiconductor thin film is sandwiched between two metal electrodes of indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum to form organic photovoltaic solar cell. Several types of organic semiconductors have been utilized as the photoactive layer in the solution processable organic solar cells. The performance of the fabricated solar cells can be improved by dissolving the material in the right choice of solvent, annealing of organic thin film, slowly forming the thin film and introducing an infra-red absorbance layer. Besides, organic semiconductor-based sensors can be fabricated utilizing either in a sandwidch type or planar type device. Some of these techniques and the experimental results are presented.

Various devices made of the third-generation semiconductor have been gradually applied to various fields with the rapid development of the third-generation semiconductor materials equipment, manufacturing technology, and device physics represented by SiC and GaN. Firstly, the characteristics of the third-generation semiconductors is analyzed in this paper. Compared with the first-generation and second-generation semiconductors, the third-generation semiconductor has a wider band gap width, higher breakdown electric field, higher thermal conductivity, higher electron saturation rate and more expensive price. Then this paper will talk about the application of the third-generation semiconductor. The third-generation semiconductor materials can be mainly used in three fields, which are photoelectric, microwave radio frequency and power electronics. In terms of the photoelectric aspect, this paper takes the blue LED as an example. The blue LED is produced because of the wide band gap of the third-generation semiconductor. In the microwave RF aspect, the paper takes the 5G communication system as an example. Third-generation semiconductors make the high-frequency, high-power devices needed for 5G communications systems. In the power electronics aspect, the paper cites new energy vehicles as an example. Third-generation semiconductor components have a number of features needed for new-energy vehicles. For example, third-generation semiconductors can work at high temperatures. Finally, this paper will introduce the development trend of it. In the future, larger wafers will become mainstream. The third-generation semiconductors will be used in more fields. In addition, the new material systems will gradually mature.

Semiconductor is now an inseparable part of almost all sectors. Nowadays semiconductors or chips / integrated circuits (ICs) are the lifeblood of all digital Products. Industry estimates are that India’s demand for semi - conductor goods will reach US $ 400 billion by FY 2025. Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung manufacture as much as 70% of the world’s semiconductors. America only makes about 10% of the chips it uses. According to Global data, the semiconductor industry is facing an unprecedentad supply shortage since the end of the year 2019 due to unprecedented demand growth. The government’s plan to promote Semiconductor manufacturing may have a bright future for Indian semiconductor Industry. The government will seek to incentivise startups to design and make semiconductors. India imported $ 3.14 bn in semiconductor Devices in 2019. Semiconductor world market has to grow by $ 90.80 bn during 2020 - 2024. India can take it’s pie in this opportunity. India has to develop an ecosystem. Capital expenditure is required to expand production to address the rising chip demand. Setting up a new foundry can cost anywhere around $ 15 bn - $ 20 bn. Amid challenges Technology influx such as artificial intelligence, 5G wireless, IOT and cloud computing will remain key factors for rampant growth of semiconductors Industry in India.

ABSTRACTComplex oxides and semiconductors exhibit distinct yet complementary properties owing to their respective ionic and covalent natures. By electrically coupling oxides to semiconductors within epitaxial heterostructures, enhanced or novel functionalities beyond those of the constituent materials can potentially be realized. Key to electrically coupling oxides to semiconductors is controlling the physical and electronic structure of semiconductor – crystalline oxide heterostructures. Here we discuss how composition of the oxide can be manipulated to control physical and electronic structure in Ba1-xSrxTiO3/ Ge and SrZrxTi1-xO3/Ge heterostructures. In the case of the former we discuss how strain can be engineered through composition to enable the re-orientable ferroelectric polarization to be coupled to carriers in the semiconductor. In the case of the latter we discuss how composition can be exploited to control the band offset at the semiconductor - oxide interface. The ability to control the band offset, i.e. band-gap engineering, provides a pathway to electrically couple crystalline oxides to semiconductors to realize a host of functionalities.

Chemical degradation is a major disadvantage in the development of organic semiconductors. This work proposes the manufacture and characterization of organic semiconductor membranes in order to prevent semiconductor properties decreasing. Semiconductor membranes consisting of Nylon-11 and particles of π-conjugated molecular semiconductors were manufactured by high-vacuum evaporation followed by thermal relaxation. Initially, and with the aim of obtaining semiconductor particles, bulk heterojunction (BHJ) was carried out using green chemistry techniques between the zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and the zinc hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine (F16ZnPc) as n-type molecular semiconductors with the p-type molecular semiconductor dibenzotetrathiafulvalene (DBTTF). Consequently, the π-conjugated semiconductors particles were embedded in a Nylon-11 matrix and characterized, both structurally and considering their optical and electrical properties. Thin films of these materials were manufactured in order to comparatively study the membranes and precursor semiconductor particles. The membranes presented bandgap (Eg) values that were lower than those obtained in the films, which is an indicator of an improvement in their semiconductor capacity. Finally, the membranes were subjected to accelerated lighting conditions, to determine the stability of the polymer and the operating capacity of the membrane. After fatigue conditions, the electrical behavior of the proposed semiconductor membranes remained practically unaltered; therefore, they could have potential applications in molecular electronics. The chemical stability of membranes, which did not degrade in their polymer compound, nor in the semiconductor, was monitored by IR spectroscopy.

X-ray spectrometers give the capability to determine chemical element composition in electron microscopes. The semiconductor with the most experience as an x-ray detector is silicon. Silicon is the most highly developed material on earth, and has a lot of good things going for it, but for some applications we crave something with other good properties. For example, for room temperature detectors it would be best to have a semiconductor with a wider band gap. For higher resolution it would be better to have a semiconductor with a smaller band gap. For these reasons a number of other semiconductors have been developed as x-ray detectors. In this article I will talk about narrow band gap semiconductors. Next time I will discuss large band gap semiconductors.

The current interest in the wide bandgap II-VI semiconductor compounds can be traced back to the initial developments in semiconductor optoelectronic device physics that occurred in the early 1960s. The II-VI semiconductors were the object of intense research in both industrial and university laboratories for many years. The motivation for their exploration was the expectation that, possessing direct bandgaps from infrared to ultraviolet, the wide bandgap II-VI compound semiconductors could be the basis for a variety of efficient light-emitting devices spanning the entire range of the visible spectrum.During the past thirty years or so, development of the narrower gap III-V compound semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide and related III-V alloys, has progressed quite rapidly. A striking example of the current maturity reached by the III-V semiconductor materials is the infrared semiconductor laser that provides the optical source for fiber communication links and compact-disk players. Despite the fact that the direct bandgap II-VI semiconductors offered the most promise for realizing diode lasers and efficient light-emitting-diode (LED) displays over the green and blue portions of the visible spectrum, major obstacles soon emerged with these materials, broadly defined in terms of the structural and electronic quality of the material. As a result of these persistent problems, by the late 1970s the II-VI semiconductors were largely relegated to academic research among a small community of workers, primarily in university research laboratories.

The influence of penetrating radiations on the electrical low-frequency noise of semiconductors is studied. Expression is calculated that determines the number of structural defects in semiconductors arising from exposure to penetrating radia-tion. General form expression is calculated for the spectrum of electrical low-frequency noise in semiconductors when exposed to penetrating radiation. Quanti-tative relationship was established between the spectrum of electrical low-frequency noise and the development of disturbances in the structure of semicon-ductors caused by penetrating radiations. The results obtained can be used to de-termine the spectra of electrical noise in semiconductors of various types and in numerous semiconductor devices. The results of the article have practical applica-tions. Calculated expressions allow to make estimates of the intensity of electrical low-frequency noise, from which conclusions can be drawn about possibility of functioning and reliability of semiconductor devices. Established relationship be-tween electrical noise and radiation defects can be used to estimate, based on spec-tral characteristics of the noise, the defectiveness of structure of semiconductors subjected to radiation damage.

The sech-shaped pulse solution for excitonic self-induced transparency (SIT) is presented, showing significant difference in comparison with the well known SIT solution for non-interacting two-level systems. In contrast to 2π pulses in atomic systems, the phenomenon of SIT of interacting excitons in semiconductors occurs for the pulses of area 1.07π. Possible applications of the SIT solitons in semiconductor all-optical switching devices are discussed.

Semiconductors are central to the modern electronics and optics industries. Conventional semiconductive materials bear inherent limitations, especially in emerging fields such as interfacing with biological systems and bottom-up fabrication. A promising candidate for bioinspired and durable nanoscale semiconductors is the family of self-assembled nanostructures comprising short peptides. The highly ordered and directional intermolecular π-π interactions and hydrogen-bonding network allow the formation of quantum confined structures within the peptide self-assemblies, thus decreasing the band gaps of the superstructures into semiconductor regions. As a result of the diverse architectures and ease of modification of peptide self-assemblies, their semiconductivity can be readily tuned, doped, and functionalized. Therefore, this family of electroactive supramolecular materials may bridge the gap between the inorganic semiconductor world and biological systems.

The life expectancy of humans has been significantly elevated due to advancements in medical knowledge and skills over the past few decades. Although a lot of knowledge and skills are disseminated to the general public, electronic devices that quantitatively diagnose one’s own body condition still require specialized semiconductor devices which are huge and not portable. In this regard, semiconductor materials that are lightweight and have low power consumption and high performance should be developed with low cost for mass production. Organic semiconductors are one of the promising materials in biomedical applications due to their functionalities, solution-processability and excellent mechanical properties in terms of flexibility. In this review, we discuss organic semiconductor materials that are widely utilized in biomedical devices. Some advantageous and unique properties of organic semiconductors compared to inorganic semiconductors are reviewed. By critically assessing the fabrication process and device structures in organic-based biomedical devices, the potential merits and future aspects of the organic biomedical devices are pinpointed compared to inorganic devices.

In this study, high-voltage switching was performed by connecting semiconductors in series. By employing Snubber circuits and voltage divider resistors for each semiconductor, the destruction of the semiconductors was prevented. Additionally, a pulse transformer was installed between the function generator and the photocoupler to isolate the gate circuit, preventing electrical discharges in the circuit and enabling operation at an output voltage of 10 kV and an operating frequency of 200 Hz. The temperature of the semiconductors increased with the increase in operating frequency, which was counteracted by connecting charging resistors and capacitors to limit the current to the semiconductors. As a result, operation at 430 Hz became possible. Furthermore, a saturable inductor (SI) was connected to enable continuous operation. The SI delays the rise of the current and creates a phase difference, thereby reducing the power consumption of the conductor and mitigating the temperature rise, enabling continuous operation at 300 Hz. Moreover, by increasing the number of semiconductor series stages to six, an output voltage of 20 kV was confirmed in tests. By using two semiconductor series circuits, the pulsed power supply that can be changed to any pulse width was also created. As a result, output voltages with arbitrary pulse widths from 5 μs to 30 μs were confirmed.

The use of technology in multiple industries has contributed to the growth of the global economy. As a core part of todays technology, the impact derived from semiconductors is two-sided. While the general public is focused on the advantages of semiconductors, the political-cultural-national tensions it creates are missing. Semiconductor culture is a combination of technology and politics in the context of economic development. The historical semiconductor battles between countries and the current semiconductor battles confirm this view. This paper reviews the Japan-US semiconductor war in the last century, the Japan-South Korea semiconductor war in this century, and the US-China semiconductor war in the last few years. This paper aims to use the semiconductor cases to demonstrate the adverse effects of semiconductor culture in the global economy. Finally, it concludes that semiconductor culture can strain political relations between nations.

Semiconductor (photo-)electrocatalysts show immense promise in answering the difficulties faced in CO2 electrolysis in relation to the reduction product selectivity. We thus see materials like ZnO[1], Cu2-xSe[2], MoS2 [3], TiO2 [4] and their numerous composites being frequently investigated for their catalytic properties in CO2 (photo-)electroreduction. These catalysts are fabricated via varying techniques and can assume very different thicknesses and morphologies. Although the nano-semiconductors may behave differently, often only the bulk properties are considered when proposing possible reaction pathways. Determining band edge locations of semiconductors in solutions is one such case, where Mott-Schottky (MS) measurements are a widely accepted strategy. The measurement of the potential dependence of the capacitance of the semiconductor space-charge layer under depletion indeed forms an elegant method to determine the flat-band potential and hence the band edge positions for bulk semiconductors in solution. However, the MS method cannot be used for nano-structured semiconductor electrodes in the form of thin films, nanorods or nanoparticles coated on conducting substrates, as their nano-dimensions are typically much smaller than that of a semiconductor depletion layer. In this work, we explored an alternate strategy to determine band edge positions of nano-semiconductors using reversible redox probes. A model thin film system comprised of 30nm anatase TiO2 is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the strategy in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Fe, Ru and Cr based reversible redox species were used as electrochemical probes in cyclic voltammetry experiments with varying solution pH. Based on the presence/absence of the reversible behavior of these probes, we can deduce the TiO2 band edge locations. The procedure also allows us to draw parallels between semiconductor-metal and semiconductor-solution interfaces to gain new insights into the CO2 reduction mechanism on such semiconductor electrodes.

Solar photocatalytic H2 production has drawn an increasing amount of attention from the scientific community, industry, and society due to its use of green solar energy and a photocatalyst (semiconductor material) to produce green H2. Cu-based semiconductors are interesting as photocatalysts for H2 production because Cu is earth-abundant, cheap, and the synthesis of its copper-containing semiconductors is straightforward. Moreover, Cu-based semiconductors absorb visible light and present an adequate redox potential to perform water splitting reaction. Nevertheless, pristine Cu-based semiconductors exhibit low photoactivity due to the rapid recombination of photo-induced electron-hole (e−-h+) pairs and are subject to photo corrosion. To remedy these pitfalls, the Cu semiconductor-based Z-scheme family (Z-schemes and S-schemes) presents great interest due to the charge carrier mechanism involved. Due to the interest of Z-scheme photocatalysts in this issue, the basic concepts of the Z-scheme focusing on Cu-based semiconductors are addressed to obtain novel systems with high H2 photo-catalytic activity. Focusing on H2 production using Cu-based Z-schemes photocatalyst, the most representative examples are included in the main text. To conclude, an outlook on the future challenges of this topic is addressed.

Using Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Effect for Enhancing Electrochemical reactions has been reported earlier both in terms of direct electron injection/transfer (DET) in outer-sphere reductive processes as well as charge injection into semiconductors via plasmon-induced resonant electron transfer processes (PIRE). While the former (DET) is mainly influenced by the lifetimes of the ejected hot electrons and their rapid cooling at the interface. For inner sphere reductive processes via the LSPR phenomenon, direct charge injection into the LUMO states of the adsorbed species is required. In this regard, it is imperative to distinguish between the inter-band charge transfer of the adsorbed species because of exposure to photons. In contrast to these charge injections into semiconductors via plasmon-induced resonant electron transfer processes (PIRE), they must be more understood and complex. In this presentation, we will use the well-known endothermic anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline pH to showcase the fundamental aspects of charge injection and its effect on the hole-driven OER mechanism. For this well-known OER catalyst, layered double hydroxides of Ni with Fe and Co dopants will be used. The electrochemical enhancement of OER will be explained based on detailed structural motifs of the semiconductors, its band structure, and the resonance effect of Au induced by the LSPR effect. Direct and indirect bandgaps will be discussed in the context of three possible mechanisms: (i) Charge carriers are directly injected into the semiconductor via LSPR. The semiconductor's conduction band is usually (-0.1 to 0.0 eV vs. NHE), and the valence band is between (2.00 and 3.5 eV), corresponding to electron energy between -2.00 to 3.5 eV vs. NHE. For LSPR nanoparticles, SPR energy is between 1.0 and 4.0 eV. Also, the Fermi energy of LSPR is usually 0.0 vs. NHE. Hence, LSPR only enables energetic electrons to be transferred from metals to semiconductors. It is the interface between LSPR and the semiconductor which is important. Charge injection is more prevalent when metal LSPR is of lower energy than the semiconductor—direct electron transfer (DET). (ii) Transfer does not involve direct electron injection but via (a) near-field electromagnetic and (b) resonant photon scattering mechanism. This has been shown to work by adding a thin dielectric material between the LSPR and the semiconductor. This would be most likely in the case of OER, where surface-localized plasmons will be the most important determinant instead of recombination events in the bulk of the semiconductor. This is most important for OER as it depends on the surface hole concentration. It should be noted that larger nanoparticles (>50 nm) have increased resonant photon scattering. Such a mechanism is more prevalent when we overlap metal LSPR and semiconductor bands, leading to plasmon-induced resonant electron transfer (PIRET). (iii) When metal LSPR is in direct contact with the semiconductor, all three phenomena could be active.

The mechanical behavior of GaAsP alloy semiconductor was investigated by means of compressive deformation and compared with those of GaAs and GaP. The nature of collective motion of dislocations during deformation was determined by strain-rate cycling tests. The dynamic characteristics of dislocations in GaAsP were found to be similar to those in elemental and compound semiconductors such as Si, Ge, GaAs, and GaP. An alloy semiconductor has a component of the flow stress that is temperature-insensitive and is absent in compound semiconductors.

The atomic composition ratio of solution-processed oxide semiconductors is crucial in controlling the electrical performance of thin-film transistors (TFTs) because the crystallinity and defects of the random network structure of oxide semiconductors change critically with respect to the atomic composition ratio. Herein, the relationship between the film properties of nitrate precursor-based indium-zinc-oxide (IZO) semiconductors and electrical performance of solution-processed IZO TFTs with respect to the In molar ratio was investigated. The thickness, morphological characteristics, crystallinity, and depth profile of the IZO semiconductor film were measured to analyze the correlation between the structural properties of IZO film and electrical performances of the IZO TFT. In addition, the stoichiometric and electrical properties of the IZO semiconductor films were analyzed using film density, atomic composition profile, and Hall effect measurements. Based on the structural and stoichiometric results for the IZO semiconductor, the doping effect of the IZO film with respect to the In molar ratio was theoretically explained. The atomic bonding structure by the In doping in solution-processed IZO semiconductor and resulting increase in free carriers are discussed through a simple bonding model and band gap formation energy.

AbstractRecent years have witnessed extensive research aimed at developing functional, tetrahedrally coordinated ferromagnetic semiconductors that could combine the resources of semiconductor quantum structures and ferromagnetic materials systems and thus lay the foundation for semiconductor spintronics. Spin-injection capabilities and tunability of magnetization by light and electric field in Mn-based III–V and II–VI diluted magnetic semiconductors are examples of noteworthy accomplishments. This article reviews the present understanding of carrier-controlled ferromagnetism in these compounds with a focus on mechanisms determining Curie temperatures and accounting for magnetic anisotropy and spin stiffness as a function of carrier density, strain, and confinement. Materials issues encountered in the search for semiconductors with a Curie point above room temperature are addressed, emphasizing the question of solubility limits and self-compensation that can lead to precipitates and point defects. Prospects associated with compounds containing magnetic ions other than Mn are presented.

The microelectronics industry has implemented a number of different wafer level packaging (WLP) technologies for high volume manufacturing, including: UBM deposition, solder bumping, wafer thinning, and dicing. These technologies were successfully developed and implemented at a number of contract manufacturing companies, and then licensed to many of the semiconductor manufacturers and foundries. The largest production volumes for these technologies are for silicon-based semiconductors. Continuous improvements and modifications to these WLP processes have made them compatible with the changes observed over the years in silicon semiconductor technologies. These industry changes include: the move from aluminum to copper interconnect metallurgy, increases in wafer size, decreases in pad pitch, and the use of Low-K dielectrics. In contrast, the direct transfer of these WLP technologies to compound semiconductor devices, like GaAs, SiC, InP, GaN, and sapphire; has been limited due to a number of technical compatibility issues, several perceived compatibility issues, and some business concerns From a technical standpoint, many compound semiconductor devices contain fragile air bridges, gold bond pads, topographical cavities and trenches, and have a number of unique bulk material properties which are sensitive to the mechanical and chemical processes associated with the standard WLP operations used for silicon wafers. In addition, most of the newer contract manufacturing companies and foundries have implemented mostly 200 and 300 mm wafer capabilities into their facilities. This limits the number of places that one can outsource the processing of 100 and 150 mm compound semiconductor wafers. Companies that are processing large numbers of silicon based semiconductor wafers at their facilities are reluctant to process many of these compound semiconductors because there is a perceived risk of cross contamination between the different wafer materials. Companies are not willing to risk their current business of processing silicon wafers by introducing these new materials into existing process flows. From a business perspective, many companies are reluctant to take the liability risks associated with some of the very high-value compound semiconductors. In addition, the volumes for many of the compound semiconductor devices are very small compared with silicon based devices, thus making it hard to justify interruption in the silicon wafer flows to accommodate these lower volume products. In spite of these issues and perceptions, the markets for compound semiconductors are expanding. Several high profile examples include the increasing number of frequency and power management devices going into cell phones, light emitting diodes, and solar cells The strategy for the work described in this paper is to protect all structures and surfaces with either a spin-on resist or a laminated film during each step in the process flow. These layers will protect the wafer from mechanical and chemical damage, and at the same time protect the fab from contamination by the compound semiconductor.

The kinetics of charge transfer at the semiconductor- redox electrolyte interface is described in terms of the Gurney- Gerischer -Marcus (GGM) model by using nuclear configuration potential energy diagrams, electronic configuration potential energy diagrams, density of state distributions and rate constant distributions. The model of identical parabolas for the nuclear configuration diagrams is used; this leads to Gaussian oxidant and reductant distribution functions, g(E), where E is the vertical transition (Franck-Condon) energy. The rate constant distribution, k(E), is obtained from the overlap between occupied and unoccupied state distribution functions of the semiconductor and redox electrolyte. Integration of k(E) gives the rate constant which is calculated as a function of the Helmholtz potential, VH, for various values of the reorganization energy, Ereorg. Three types of semiconductor are considered: intrinsic, doped and highly doped. For intrinsic semiconductors the charge transfer rate constant is relatively small and involves both the conduction and valence bands. For symmetric charge transfer (zero energy change, E0.0, for the reaction) both oxidation and reduction occur between the redox electrolyte and both bands of the semiconductor. For unsymmetrical reactions, charge transfer tends to involve only one of the bands; for net reduction, the valence band is involved, whereas for net oxidation the conduction band is involved. For doped semiconductors the rate constant is larger and only one band is involved; for n-type it is the conduction band, and for p-type it is the valence band. For highly doped semiconductors with the Fermi level in either the conduction or valence bands. the rate constant is even larger and only one band is involved. Changes in Helmholtz potential affect k(E) in a similar way to that for metals. However, unlike for metals, the calculated Tafel plots for highly doped n-type semiconductors are shown to exhibit a Marcus inversion region. This is a consequence of the energy gap between conduction and valence bands of the semiconductor. For doped semiconductors, changes in the Helmholtz potential also produce a maximum in the Tafel plot and because of the relatively low currents involved this maximum should be experimentally observable. For intrinsic semiconductors, variation of Helmholtz potential without inclusion of band bending in the semiconductor produces unexpectedly low Tafel slopes which are related to the ratio of the band gap to the reorganization energy, so that the larger the ratio the smaller the Tafel slope. This unexpected result, which amounts to an assumption of band edge unpinning, is shown to accurately account for the experimentally observed Tafel slopes for reduction at n-WSe2 of the dimethylferrocenium ion in acetonitrile.

This paper presents the concept and experimental evidence for the nonthermal equilibrium (NTE) process of charge carrier extraction in metal/insulator/organic semiconductor/metal (MIOM) capacitors. These capacitors are structurally similar to metal/insulator/semiconductor/(metal) (MIS) capacitors found in standard semiconductor textbooks. The difference between the two capacitors is that the (organic) semiconductor/metal contacts in the MIOM capacitors are of the Schottky type, whereas the contacts in the MIS capacitors are of the ohmic type. Moreover, the mobilities of most organic semiconductors are significantly lower than those of inorganic semiconductors. As the MIOM structure is identical to the electrode portion of an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) with top-contact and bottom-gate electrodes, the hysteretic behavior of the OFET transfer characteristics can be deduced from the NTE phenomenon observed in MIOM capacitors.
