Free carrier lifetime reduction in silicon by electron-beam irradiation

Abstract: Point defects induced by electron-beam irradiation introduce new recombination centers in the band-gap determining the free carrier lifetime reduction. This effect is successfully used in reduction the switching time of semiconductor devices. Our work presents a model for the free carrier lifetime in silicon that takes into account the influence of concentration and energy level of the recombination centers induced by electronbeam irradiation. The irradiation was made on silicon diodes in a 7 MeV accelerator, … Show more

“…The decease of leakage current and increase of breakdown voltage may be attributed to the uniformity of the La 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 nanolaminates as well as the reduction of impurities or residuals at the interface. The leakage current may originate either Poole-Frenckel or Fowler-Nordheim mechanism from the point of view of quantum tunneling [ 29 , 30 ], which has been confirmed in our measurement. The lowest leakage current and highest breakdown voltage are obtained for O 3 -based La 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 nanolaminates on MoS 2 with UV-O 3 treatment, making it a promising dielectric candidate for the application of MoS 2 FETs.…”

“…The levels E2 and E3 each have a low concentration and capture coefficient and are annealed at relatively low temperatures, which have a negligible influence on the recombination activity. [8] According to Ref. [3], acceptor level (E C -0.23 eV) of platinum is an effective recombination level at high injection, while it acts as a weak recombination center at low injection.…”
