This paper investigates the mass transport in Au/Cr contacts deposited on GaAs. Such contacts are commonly used as ohmic contacts on p-type GaAs. For characterisation we used the RBS technique, replacing the classical /spl alpha/ particles with /sup 7/Li ions. This allows a great improvement in depth and mass resolution.

An ordinary infrared detector that may be dominated by thermal generation or amplifier noise can serve as nearly theoretically perfect receiver when used in a heterodyne mode. A photoresistor has been compared with an optical immersed photoelectromagnetic detector with the same electrical area.

The initiation of impact ionisation is known to come mostly from light charge carriers. Transition from avalanche breakdown to thermoelectric breakdown, i.e., transition from light to heavy charge carrier caused breakdown is analysed in several microplasmas with increase in ambient temperature. Transition from light to heavy charge carrier caused secondary breakdown at increase current is analysed.

This paper presents our first attempts to implement a current-feedback Op Amp. We considered the possibility of using the ICCE full custom technology MONOCIP. We presents also the performances of this new circuit, comparatively with other existing CFB-OA (OPA 603).

TEM investigations of the LP-LT-CVD thick (1500 nm) polySi layer on 16 nm SiO/sub 2//Si allow one to introduce specific mechanisms to explain the fast polySi regrowth and the SiO/sub 2/ degradation during a short-time (15 min.) moderate (1030/spl deg/C) heat-temperature treatment and during a subsequent 20 min., 1030/spl deg/C annealing.

The paper presents a combustible gas detector mode by thick film technology. Two gold wires were coiled on a cylindrical alumina substrate to form the measuring electrodes. A platinum wire was used to heat the device. The sensitive film was produced by a /spl gamma/-Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/-TiO/sub 2/ resistive ink. The device electrical resistance decreased from 1 M/spl Omega/ in pure air to 100 k/spl Omega/ in a 2000 ppm butane atmosphere for a working temperature of 300/spl deg/C.

The dispersion curves and electric fields spatial distribution of phonon-polaritons in finite superlattices were calculated. The experimental investigation of GaAs/GaAsP SLS by ATR-spectroscopy has given the possibility to interpret adequately the observed peculiarities.

Metal-Oxide-Silicon (MOS) device degradation due to trapped holes in the bulk of thin SiO/sub 2/ (22-33 nm) gate oxide during low fluence Fowler-Nordheim (FN) injection from the accumulated <100> n-Si of n/sup +/ polySi gate MOS capacitors has been theoretically modeled. The model is based on tunneling electron initiated band-to-band impact ionization (BTBII) as the possible source of generated holes. The validity of the present analysis has been compared with the experimental data of FN voltage shift /spl Delta/V/sub FN/ of Fazan et al. A comparative study of degradation during constant current and voltage FN stress is also presented.

The next generation of power devices are likely to extend MOS controlled bipolar (MCB) device concepts to cover very high voltage (up to 6 kV) applications. Such devices will be based on utilising the advantages brought about by trench gate MOSFETs to control bipolar current flow. The semiconductor phenomena which can be accessed to optimise power device performance through use of trench gate MOS channels are discussed. Device structures which use PIN diode and thyristor type carrier distributions to reduce power loss within the device are presented. The next generation of power switching devices is proposed as being based on trench gate devices which have hybrid PIN diode and dynamic thyristor structures.

Time resolved photoluminescence of the GaAs/GaAs/sub 0.76/P/sub 0.24/ superlattice (SL) have been investigated at 90 K temperature and different excitation levels. The transitions from electron minibands to holes are explained and it is shown that experimental results are described by SL model of II type with valence-band offset larger than conduction band offset.
