2 2.1 Thermal Motio Zig-zag motio is due to collisios or scatterig with imperfectios i the crystal. Net thermal velocity is zero. Mea time betwee collisios is τ m ~ 0.1ps Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-2

Electro ad hole mobilities of selected semicoductors Si Ge GaAs IAs µ (cm 2 /V s) µ p (cm 2 /V s) Based o the above table aloe, which semicoductor ad which carriers (electros or holes) are attractive for applicatios i high-speed devices? Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-5
6 Drift Velocity, Mea Free Time, Mea Free Path EXAMPLE: Give µ p 470 cm 2 /V s, what is the hole drift velocity at 10 3 V/cm? What is τ mp ad what is the distace traveled betwee collisios (called the mea free path)? Hit: Whe i doubt, use the MKS system of uits. Solutio: ν µ p 470 cm 2 /V s 10 3 V/cm cm/s τ mp µ p m p /q 470 cm 2 /V s kg/ C m 2 /V s kg/c s 0.1 ps mea free path τ mh ν th ~ s cm/s cm 220 Å 22 m This is smaller tha the typical dimesios of devices, but gettig close.

Impurity (Dopat) Io Scatterig Phoo scatterig mobility decreases whe temperature rises: µ phoo τ phoo phoo desity carrier 1 1 3/ 2 T 1/ 2 thermal velocity T T µ qτ/m T v th T 1/2 Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C.

10 Temperature Effect o Mobility Questio: What N d will make dµ /dt 0 at room temperature? Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-10
11 Velocity Saturatio Whe the kietic eergy of a carrier exceeds a critical value, it geerates a optical phoo ad loses the kietic eergy. Therefore, the kietic eergy is capped ad the velocity does ot rise above a saturatio velocity, v sat, o matter how large is. Velocity saturatio has a deleterious effect o device speed as show i Ch. 6. Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-11

(b) What is the resistace (R) of a piece of this silico material 1µm log ad 0.1 µm 2 i crosssectioal area? Solutio: (a) Usig the N-type curve i the previous figure, we fid that ρ Ω-cm. (b) R ρl/a Ω-cm 1 µm / 0.1 µm Ω-cm 10-4 cm/ cm Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-15
16 EXAMPLE: Temperature Depedece of Resistace By what factor will R icrease or decrease from T300 K to T400 K? Solutio: The temperature depedet factor i σ (ad therefore ρ) is µ. From the mobility vs. temperature curve for cm -3, we fid that µ decreases from 770 at 300K to 400 at 400K. As a result, R icreases by Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-16

24 2.6 Electro-Hole Recombiatio The equilibrium carrier cocetratios are deoted with 0 ad p 0. The total electro ad hole cocetratios ca be differet from 0 ad p 0. These differeces are called the excess carrier cocetratios ad p. 0 + ' p p 0 + p' Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-24
25 Charge Neutrality Charge eutrality is satisfied at equilibrium ( p 0). Whe a o-zero is preset, a equal p may be assumed to be preset to maitai charge equality ad vice-versa. If charge eutrality is ot satisfied, the the et charge will attract or repel the (majority) carriers through the drift curret util eutrality is restored. ' p' Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-25
26 Recombiatio Lifetime Assume light geerates ad p. If the light is suddely tured off, ad p decay with time util they become zero. The process of decay is called recombiatio. The time costat of decay is the recombiatio time or carrier lifetime, τ. Recombiatio is ature s way of restorig equilibrium ( p 0). Semicoductor Devices for Itegrated Circuits (C. Hu) Slide 2-26
27 Recombiatio Lifetime τ rages from 1s to 1ms i Si ad depeds o the desity of metal impurities (cotamiats) such as Au ad Pt. These deep traps capture electros or holes to facilitate recombiatio ad are called recombiatio ceters.

33 2.8 Quasi-equilibrium ad Quasi-Fermi Levels Wheever p 0, p i 2. However, we would like to preserve ad use the relatios: p N N c v e e ( E E c )/ kt But these equatios lead to p i 2. The solutio is to itroduce two quasi-fermi levels E f ad E fp such that p N N c v e e f ( E E f v ( E E c )/ kt f ( E E fp Eve whe electros ad holes are ot at equilibrium, withi each group the carriers are usually at equilibrium.
