Power And Charge Deposition In Multilayer Dielectrics From Monoenergetic Electron Bombardment, Gregory Wilson, Amberly Evans, Justin Dekany, Jr Dennison

Justin Dekany

Power and charge deposition in multilayer dielectrics from electron bombardment is dependent upon the flux and electron range of the electron beam, where the range,--a lso known as the penetration depth—is dependent upon the incident beam energy. Using the Continuous Slow Down Approximation (CSDA), a composite analytical formula has been developed to relate the electron range to the dose rate and subsequently to the deposited power in each subsequent layer. Based on the constituent layer geometry and material , the deposited charge can also be inferred. To validate these models two separate experiments were conducted, one based on the net …
