Download or read book III Nitride SiC and Diamond Materials for Electronic Devices Volume 423 written by D. Kurt Gaskill and published by . This book was released on 1996-11-15 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book differs from previous volumes on wide bandgap semiconductors in that the emphasis is specifically on materials aspects related to electronic properties and devices. Solid advances are reported in the growth techniques of all three materials groups. In particular, the critical importance of surfaces, interfaces, doping, defects and impurities is demonstrated. Potential device applications ranging from new high-frequency, high-power all-solid-state devices to unique cold-cathode electronic devices are presented. Whilst the results demonstrate real promise for a wide range of new solid-state devices that are not feasible with current production materials, it is also evident that substantial progress in materials research is needed to fulfill the real potential of these applications. Critical issues related to the electronic potential of all three materials are addressed. Topics include: device technologies - devices, metallizations, etching, and implantation; bulk and bulk-like crystal growth; film growth; defects and structural properties; doping and electrical properties and optical and field-emission properties.

Download or read book Materials Reliability in Microelectronics VI Volume 428 written by William F. Filter and published by . This book was released on 1996-11-18 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MRS books on materials reliability in microelectronics have become the snapshot of progress in this field. Reduced feature size, increased speed, and larger area are all factors contributing to the continual performance and functionality improvements in integrated circuit technology. These same factors place demands on the reliability of the individual components that make up the IC. Achieving increased reliability requires an improved understanding of both thin-film and patterned-feature materials properties and their degradation mechanisms, how materials and processes used to fabricate ICs interact, and how they may be tailored to enable reliability improvements. This book focuses on the physics and materials science of microelectronics reliability problems rather than the traditional statistical, accelerated electrical testing aspects. Studies are grouped into three large sections covering electromigration, gate oxide reliability and mechanical stress behavior. Topics include: historical summary; reliability issues for Cu metallization; characterization of electromigration phenomena; modelling; microstructural evolution and influences; oxide and device reliability; thin oxynitride dielectrics; noncontact diagnostics; stress effects in thin films and interconnects and microbeam X-ray techniques for stress measurements.
