A method for calculating diffusion enhancement due to dopant-defect pairing in ion-implanted silicon is described. The number of dopant-defect pairs is calculated from a general defect clustering model. The assumption that a net dopant flux arises from dopant-defect pair gradients leads to the calculation of an initial enhanced diffusion coefficient. This diffusion enhancement is shown to be consistent with measured transient diffusion.
Computer assisted learning in an electronics course The CAD software package Electronic Workbench has been used for computer assisted learning for analogue electronics in the second year of a degree course. After a description of the package, the approach used to generate text files to describe the subject matter for transistor biasing, small signal analysis and frequency response is described. The student response is considered, as are the problems encountered in using the package for CAL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
