SPICE Compact Modeling for Design of Innovative Integrated Circuits in CEA-LETI

Martin P., Lucci L., Reyboz M., Barbe J.-C., CEA-LETI, FR

This paper presents an overview of the recent compact modeling activity in CEA-LETI. Examples of Verilog-A modeling using the surface potential approach of field effect transistors, such as High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) AlGaN/GaN power [...]

Enhanced UV Light Emission in Silicon nanoparticles

Singh A., Grycznski K.G., Rout B., Li J., McDaniel F., Neogi A., Sahu G., Mahapatra D.P., University of North Texas, US

UV light emission comparable to GaN based semiconductor is observed from gold-implanted Si (100) semiconductors. A low energy Au implant forming the Si nanoparticles or quantum dots are been irradiated and recrystallized by a MeV [...]

Demonstration of Pulsed Silicon Raman Laser

Boyraz O., Jalali B., University of California, Los Angeles, US

Recently, Raman effect in silicon has been pursued for light generation and amplification by utilizing high Raman gain coefficient of silicon. However, free carrier generation due to two photon absorption limited the achieving high Raman [...]
