Electrical And Optical Characterization Of Si-Ge-Sn, Merle D. Hamilton Mar 2012

Electrical And Optical Characterization Of Si-Ge-Sn, Merle D. Hamilton

Theses and Dissertations

The electrical characterization of boron-doped p-Si0.08Ge0.90Sn0.02/p-Ge(100) and p-Si0.112Ge0.86Sn0.028/n-Si(100) with various epilayer thicknesses was measured using the Hall effect. The room temperature sheet carrier concentration ranged from 1.21 x 1013 – 1.32 x 1016 cm-2. The room temperature mobilities were measured to be between 166 and 717 cm2/V·s, depending on sample composition. In the low temperature regime, the mobility was mainly affected by ionized impurity scattering. In the high temperature regime, the mobility was mainly affected by …


Electrical Characterization Of Ion-Implanted 4h-Silicon Carbide, Christian P. Morath Mar 1999

Electrical Characterization Of Ion-Implanted 4h-Silicon Carbide, Christian P. Morath

Theses and Dissertations

Electrical characterization has been performed on ion-implanted p-type 4H-SiC to assess the activation efficiency and implantation-related damage recrystallization with the intention of developing an implantation/annealing scheme. Low doped (Na - Nd = 5x10(exp 15)/cu cm) epitaxial p-type layers grown by MOCVD were implanted with Al or B at doses ranging from 1x10(exp 13) to 1x10(exp 14)/sq cm at room temperature or 500 deg. C. The electrical technique of Temperature Dependent Hall Effect (TDHE) indicated that Al and B act as shallow acceptors 4H-SiC with ionization energies of ^252 and ^285 meV, respectively. The highest activation efficiency for Al and B …
