Abstract: This paper considers the design, fabrication, and characterization of very small Mosfet switching devices suitable for digital integrated circuits, using dimensions of the order of 1 /spl mu/. Scaling relationships are presented which show how a conventional MOSFET can be reduced in size. An improved small device structure is presented that uses ion implantation, to provide shallow source and drain regions and a nonuniform substrate doping profile. One-dimensional models are used to predict the substrate doping profile and the corresponding threshold voltage versus source voltage characteristic. A two-dimensional current transport model is used to predict the relative degree of short-channel effects for different device parameter combinations. Polysilicon-gate MOSFET's with channel lengths as short as 0.5 /spl mu/ were fabricated, and the device characteristics measured and compared with predicted values. The performance improvement expected from using these very small devices in highly miniaturized integrated circuits is projected.

TL;DR: The role of extended and point defects, and key impurities such as C, O, and H, on the electrical and optical properties of GaN is reviewed in this article, along with the influence of process-induced or grown-in defects and impurities on the device physics.
Abstract: The role of extended and point defects, and key impurities such as C, O, and H, on the electrical and optical properties of GaN is reviewed. Recent progress in the development of high reliability contacts, thermal processing, dry and wet etching techniques, implantation doping and isolation, and gate insulator technology is detailed. Finally, the performance of GaN-based electronic and photonic devices such as field effect transistors, UV detectors, laser diodes, and light-emitting diodes is covered, along with the influence of process-induced or grown-in defects and impurities on the device physics.

01 Dec 1973TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review some of the general features of the characteristics of implanted layers in terms of depth distribution, radiation damage, and electron activity in compound semiconductors, particularly GaAs.
Abstract: Ion implantation is being applied extensively to silicon device technology. Two principle features are utilized- 1) charge control in MOS structures for threshold shift, autoregistration, and complementary wells and 2) distribution control in microwave and bipolar structures. Another feature that has not been extensively exploited is to combine the advantages of the high resolution capabilities of electric beam pattern delineation with the low lateral spread inherent in the implantation process. This talk reviews some of the general features of the characteristics of implanted layers in terms of depth distribution, radiation damage and electron activity. Implantation processes in silicon are reasonably well understood. There remain areas which require further clarification. For compound semiconductors, particularly GaAs, implantation techniques offer attractive possibilities for the fabrication of high frequency devices. In these materials, the substrate temperature during implantation and the dielectric coating required to prevent dissociation during thermal anneal play major roles.
