A Unified Mobility Model for Excimer Laser Annealed Complementary Thin Film Transistors Simulation

Lin H-Y, Li Y., Lin H-Y, Lee J.W., Chiu C-M, Sze S.M., Natl Nano Device Labs & Natl Chiao Tung Univ, TW

Excimer laser annealing technique has been proposed in the fabrication of low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) in the recent years, in particular for the applications to active-matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) [1]. In comparing with [...]

Gate Length Scaling Effects in ESD Protection Ultra-thin Body SOI Devices

Lee J.W., Li Y., Sze S.M., Natl Nano Device Labs & Natl Chiao Tung Univ, TW

In this paper we experimentaly explore the gate length scaling effects which related to the abrupt degation of electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness for ultra-thin body silicon on insulator (SOI) devices and integrated circuits (ICs). It [...]

Spin Dependent Boundary Conditions and Spin Splitting in Cylindrical Quantum Dots

Li Y., Liu J-L., Voskoboynikov O., Liu J-L., Lee C.P., Sze S.M., National Chiao Tung University, TW

To study a spin dependence of the electron energy states in tree dimensional cylindrical semiconductor dots we consider theoretically the spin-orbit interaction impact on the electron quantum con...nement in the dots. We solve the problem [...]

Parallel Dynamic Load Balancing for Semiconductor Device Simulations on a Linux Cluster

Li Y., Lin S-S., Liu J-L., Lin S-S., Yu S-M., Liu J-L., Chao T-S., Sze S.M., National Chiao Tung University, TW

A parallel dynamic load balancing for 2-D and 3-D semiconductor device simulations is proposed. The hydrodynamic and drift diffusion models are discretized and solved with finite volume (box) and monotone iterative methods. Dynamic load balancing [...]
