A new model is proposed to make a more precise simulation of a power MOSFET using PSPICE. The application results for all types of HEXFET devices have a good agreement with the corresponding curves in the IR databook. A method of parameter extraction and some simulation results are presented for a demonstration HEXFET device.

2-D simulation of backgating effect in GaAs MESFETs is made in which impact ionization of carriers and deep donors "EL2" in the substrate are considered. The kink-related backgating is reproduced, which is qualitatively consistent with recent experiments. The mechanism is attributed to the change of EL2's nature by capturing holes which are generated by impact ionization and flow into the substrate.

Efficient executions of branch instructions are one of the most important issues in implementing high performance microprocessors. Branching instructions are above 20% of total instruction in most programs. BTB (Branch Target Buffer) enhances the speed of branch instruction execution by predicting the branch path, including currently executed branch instruction address, prediction information, and target address. The BTB is designed as a 4-way set associative organization with 256 branch entries. Pseudo-LRU algorithm is used for replacement of lines instead of ordinary LRU algorithm. Also IP(Instruction Pointer) chain is designed for verifying the BTB.

In this paper, two techniques on low power circuit design, namely, clock separated logic and sub-V/sub dd/ voltage-swing interfacing, are introduced. In the former method, reduced voltage-swing at internal nodes is used to achieve relatively low power dissipation as compared to circuits with full voltage-swing. In the latter method, pass-transistor logic with suppressed internal voltage-swing is used to reduce power dissipation in the pass-transistor chain. Basic techniques on design of these circuits are investigated and analyzed.

It is shown that nitridation of sputtered oxide by reactive sputtering can give a hardened oxide-silicon interface with reduced interface states generation after stress. SIMS analysis has confirmed the existence of SiN peak close to the oxide/silicon interface. A stacked SiO/sub 2//SiO/sub x/N/sub y/ structure is discussed relative to charge trapping, leakage current and mid-gap voltage shift.

This is a first report to use diffused quantum well (DFQW) as the active cavity of the Fabry-Perot reflection modulator. Apart from the simple fabrication process of the DFQW, this material system provides a wavelength tuning range and improves the modulation properties of the device which thus is competitive with the same kind of modulator.

We fabricated and characterized four different CMOS thermoelectric infrared radiation sensor microsystems. The performance of these systems was modelled with the finite element simulation package SOLIDIS, based on measured materials properties. The agreement with experiment was better than 7.5%. Based on this validation we optimized the design parameters of such microsystems.

The technology and equipment of the infrared rapid thermal annealing for VLSI is reported. The equipment used for rapid thermal annealing has been made with an radio frequency (RF)-induced graphite heater in a quartz housing as an infrared heating source. By using this technology and equipment the fabrication of shallow junction, the formation of silicide, the effect of BPSG reflow and annihilating the micro defects and thermal donor in CZ Si single crystal are discussed.

This paper reports the leakage current characteristics of Conductivity Modulated Thin Film Transistor (CMTFT) fabricated using polycrystalline silicon. The transistor uses the idea of conductivity modulation in the offset region to obtain a significant reduction in on-state resistance. Experimental on-state and off-state current-voltage characteristics of the CMTFT have been compared with those of the conventional offset drain device. The devices were fabricated using a low temperature process (620/spl deg/C) which is highly desirable for large area electronic applications.
