We show for the first time the optical properties of the selectively oxidized vertical cavity laser (VCL) - depleted optical thyristor (DOT), which has not only a low threshold current, but also a high sensitivity to the optical input light. In order to analyze their switching characteristics, nonlinear s-shaped current-voltage characteristics are calculated and the reverse full-depletion voltages (Vneg's) are obtained as function of semiconductor parameters by using a finite difference method (FDM). The selectively oxidized PnpN VCL-DOT clearly shows the nonlinear s-shaped current-voltage and lasing characteristics. A switching voltage of 5.24 V, a holding voltage of 1.50 V, a spectral response at 854.5 nm, and a very low threshold current of 0.65 mA is measured, making these devices attractive for optical processing applications.

This paper introduces a compact analytical current conduction model of long-channel depletion-mode n-type nanowire field-effect transistors (NWFETs). The NWFET used in this work was fabricated with the bottom-up process and it has a bottom-gate structure. The model includes all current conduction mechanisms of the NWFET operating at various bias conditions. The results simulated from the newly developed NWFET model reproduce a reported experimental results within a 10% error.

There is difficulty in predicting the program efficiency of NOR type nonvolatile memory device adopting channel hot electron injection (CHEI) as program operation mechanism accurately since MOSFET on SOI has floating body. In this study, the dependence of program efficiency for SOI nonvolatile memory device of 200 nm channel length on SOI depletion conditions, partial depletion and full depletion, was quantitatively investigated with the aid of numerical device simulation [1].

모바일 전자기기 시장의 큰 증가세로 인해 플래시 메모리 소자에 대한 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히, 저 전력 및 고집적 대용량 플래시 메모리의 필요성이 커짐에 따라 플래시 메모리 소자의 비례축소에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 10 nm 이하의 게이트 크기를 가지는 플래시 메모리 소자에서 각 셀 간의 간섭에 의한 성능저하가 심각한 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 10 nm 이하의 낸드 플래시 메모리 소자에서 인접한 셀 간의 간섭으로 인해 발생하는 전기적 특성의 성능 저하를 관찰하고 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 4개의 소자가 배열된 낸드플래시 메모리의 전기적 특성을 3차원 TCAD 시뮬레이션을 툴을 이용하여 계산하였다. 인접 셀의 프로그램 상태에 따른 측정 셀의 읽기 동작과 쓰기 동작시의 전류-전압 특성을 게이트 크기가 10 nm 부터 30 nm까지 비교하여 동작 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 게이트의 크기가 감소함에 따라 플로팅 게이트에 주입되는 전하의 양은 감소하는데 반해 프로그램 전후의 문턱전압 차는 커진다. 플래시 메모리의 게이트 크기가 줄어듦에 따라 플로팅 게이트의 공핍영역이 차지하는 비율이 커지면서 프로그램 동작 시 주입되는 전하의 양이 급격히 줄어든다. 게이트의 크기가 작아짐에 따라 인접 셀 과의 거리가 좁아지게 되고 이에 따라 프로그램 된 셀의 플로팅 게이트의 전하가 측정 셀의 플로팅 게이트의 공핍영역을 증가시켜 프로그램 특성을 나쁘게 한다. 이 연구 결과는 10 nm 이하의 낸드 플래시 메모리 소자에서 인접한 셀 간의 간섭으로 인해 발생하는 전기적 특성의 성능 저하와 동작 메커니즘을 이해하고 인접 셀의 간섭을 최소로 하는 소자 제작에 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

$SnO_2$ films were annealed in a vaccum atmosphere conditions to research the temperature dependency of current-voltage characteristics in according to the bonding structures. The $SnO_2$ film annealed in a vacuum became an amorphous structure but films annealed in an atmosphere condition had a crystal structure. The defects or depletion layer were formed by the electron-hole combination after annealing processes, and the electrical properties were changed depending on the crystal structure, binding energy and the variation of carriers. $SnO_2$ became more crystal-structural with increasing the annealing temperature, and the current increased at $SnO_2$ film annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ with Schottky current.

Through SCM modeling, we found that the depletion layer in silicon was of a form of a spherical capacitor with the SCM tip biased. Two-dimensional (2D) finite differential method code with a successive over relaxation (SOR) solver has been developed to model the measurements by SCM of a semiconductor wafer that contains an ion-implanted impurity region. Then, we theoretically analyzed the spherical capacitor and determined the total depleted-volume charge Q, capacitance C, and the rate of capacitance change with bias dC/dV. It is very important to observe the depleted carriers' movement in the silicon layer by applying the bias to the tip. So, we calculated the depleted-volume charge, considering different factors such as tip size, oxide thickness, and applied bias (dc+ac), which have an influence on potential and depletion charges.

A thinner film has superior electrical properties and a better amorphous structure. Amorphous structures can be effective in improving conductivity through a depletion effect. Research is needed on the Schottky contact, where potential barriers are formed, as a way to identify these characteristics. $SiO_2/SnO_2$ thin films were prepared to examine the amorphous structure and Schottky contact, $SiO_2$ thin films were prepared using Ar = 20 sccm. $SnO_2$ thin films were deposited using mixed gas with a flow rate of argon and oxygen at 20 sccm, and $SnO_2$ thin films were added by magnetron sputtering and treated at $100^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$. To identify the conditions under which the amorphous structure was constructed, the XRD patterns were investigated and C-V and I-V measurements were taken to make Al electrodes and perform electrical analysis. The depletion layer was formed by the recombination of electrons and holes through the heat treatment process. $SiO_2/SnO_2$ thin films confirmed that the pores were well formed when heat treated at $100^{\circ}C$ and an electric current was applied over the micro area. An amorphous $SiO_2/SnO_2$ thin film with heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ showed no reflection at $33^{\circ}\;2{\theta}$ in the XRD pattern, and a reflection at $44^{\circ}2\;{\theta}$. The macroscopic view (-30 V

Generally. the Ohmic's law is an important factor to increase the conductivity in a micro device. So it is also known that the Ohmic contact in a semiconductor device is import. The PN junction as a structure of semiconductor involves the depletion layer, and this depletion layer induces the non linear electrical properties and also makes the Schottky contact as an intrinsic characteristics of semiconductor. To research the conduction effect of insulators in the semiconductor device, $SiO_2$ thin film and $V_2O_5/SiO_2$ thin film were researched by using the current-voltage system. In the nano electro-magnetic system, the $SiO_2$ thin film as a insulator had the non linear Schottky contact, and the as deposited $V_2O_5$ thin film had the linear Ohmic contact owing to the $SiO_2$ thin film with superior insulator's properties, which decreases the leakage current. In the positive voltage, the capacitance of $SiO_2$ thin film was very low, but that of $V_2O_5$ thin film increased with increasing the voltage. In the normal electric field system, it was confirmed that the conductivity of $V_2O_5$ thin film was increased by the effect of $SiO_2$ thin film. It was confirmed that the Schottky contact of semiconductors enhanced the performance of electrical properties to increased the conductivity.

Buried channel JET-X CCDs (Joint European X-ray Telescope Charge Coupled Devices: EEV CCD12) with a deep depletion have been analyzed to provide an optimized condition for a charge storage and transfer. A maximum charge capacity has been found for the supplementary narrow channel by considering the potential distribution as a function of a mobile charge. Analysis for the depletion edges of JET-X CCDs have been successfully performed, showing good agreement with the depths estimated from X-ray detection efficiency measurements [1]. (omitted)
