A new local model for impact ionization coefficients is proposed to account for a non-local effect. New model uses an effective electric field which comes from the path integral of a tangent electric field at an arbitrary point. The model consists of local variables, such as doping concentration, carrier concentration and gradient of the field, and can be easily applied to a conventional drift-diffusion device simulator. By comparing the results with Monte Carlo simulation, it is confirmed that new model explains the non-local effect fairly well.

Impact ionization, which is a kind of a carrier-carrier interaction process occurring in a semiconductor under the influence of a high electric field, is necessary to analyse carrier transport properties. Since the parabolic or nonparabolic E-k relation is different from real band structure in high energy range, exact model of impart ionization have been presented using full band I-k relation and Fermi's golden rule. We have investigated relation of density of states, energy band structure and overlap integral. We make use of empirical pseudopotential method in order to calculate energy band structure of silicon, tetrahedron method in order to calculate density of states. We know density of states very depends on energy band structure and overlap integral depends on the primary electron energy.

Analytical expressions for breakdown voltages of abrupt pn junction in GaP, GaAs and InP of III-V binary semiconductors was induced. Getting analytical breakdown voltage, effective ionization coefficients were extracted using ionization coefficient parameters for each materials. The result of analytical breakdown voltages followed by ionization integral agrees well with numerical and experimental results within 10% in error.

A calculation method of the breakdown voltage for the Drain region with the spherical structure in high voltage analog CMOS is proposed. The Drain depletion region is divided into many sub-regions and the doping concentration of each sub-region is assumed to be constant. The field in each sub-region is calculated by the integration of the net charge and the breakdown voltage is calculated using the ionization integral method. The breakdown voltage calculated using the proposed method shows the maximum relative error of 3.3% compared with the result of the 2-dimensional device simulation using BANDIS.

The closed-form analytic solutions for the breakdown voltage of 6H-SiC RTD(silicon carbide reachthrough diode) having metal$-n^--n^+$ Schottky structure or $p^+-n^--n^+$, are successfully derived by solving impact ionization integral using an effective ionization coefficient. For the lightly doped n- epitaxial layer, the breakdown voltage of SiC RTD are nearly constant with the increased doping concentration while the breakdown voltages decrease for the heavily doped epitaxial layer.

Analytical expressions for breakdown voltages of abrupt $p^{+}n$ junction of Si, GaAs, InP and In$In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}AS$ were induced.

Electron transport properties are investigated by Monte Carlo simulation in n-HgCdTe. The material is easily degenerated at low temperature or being slightly doped, and is characterized by small band gap and large nonparabolic factor. The degeneracy is incorporated in the Monte Carlo simulation by taking into account the electron-electron scattering and the pauli exclusion principle. In the conventional method, however, the electron-electron scattering rate was developed under the assumption of parabolic conduction band. A new formulation of the electron-electron scattering rate is develop considering the band nonparabolicity and overlap integral. The electron-electron scattering effects on the electron distribution,impact ionization coefficienty, electron temperature, drift velocity and electron energy are presented.

In this paper, under pinch-off conditions, the gate-drain breakdown voltage characteristics of GaAs Power MESFET's as a function of device parameters such as channel thickness, doping concentration, gate length etc. are analyzed. Using the Green's function, the gate ionic charge induced by the depleted channel ionic charge is calculated. The impact ionization integral by avalanche multiplication between gate and drain is used to investigate breakdown phenomena. Especially, the localized excess surface charge effect as well as the uniform surface charge effect on breakdown voltage is considered.

A calculation method of the breakdown voltage for the drain region with the cylindrical structure in LDMOS is proposed. The depletion region of the drain is divided into many smaller regions and the doping concentration of each split region is assumed to be uniformly distributed. The field and potential in each split region is calculated by the integration of the Poisson equation and the ionization integral method is used to compute the breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage resulted from the proposed method shows the maximum relative error of 2.2% compared with the result of the 2-dimensional device simulation using BANDIS.

We have carried out integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy of $H{\alpha}$, [$N{\small{II}}$] and [$O{\small{III}}$] emission lines for a sample of Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) with Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and weak emission-line stars (wels). Comparing their spatially-resolved kinematic observations with morpho-kinematic models allowed us to disentangle their three-dimensional gaseous structures. Our results indicate that these PNe have axisymmetric morphologies, either bipolar or elliptical. In many cases the associated kinematic maps for the PNe around hot central stars also reveal the presence of so-called fast low-ionization emission regions.
