Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been almost thirty years since the publication of a book that is entirely dedicated to the theory, description, characterization and measurement of the thermal conductivity of solids. The recent discovery of new materials which possess more complex crystal structures and thus more complicated phonon scattering mechanisms have brought innovative challenges to the theory and experimental understanding of these new materials. With the development of new and novel solid materials and new measurement techniques, this book will serve as a current and extensive resource to the next generation researchers in the field of thermal conductivity. This book is a valuable resource for research groups and special topics courses (8-10 students), for 1st or 2nd year graduate level courses in Thermal Properties of Solids, special topics courses in Thermal Conductivity, Superconductors and Magnetic Materials, and to researchers in Thermoelectrics, Thermal Barrier Materials and Solid State Physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical properties, particularly in the infrared range of wavelengths, continue to be of enormous interest to both material scientists and device engineers. The need for the development of standards for data of optical properties in the infrared range of wavelengths is very timely considering the on-going transition of nano-technology from fundamental R&D to manufacturing. Radiative properties play a critical role in the processing, process control and manufacturing of semiconductor materials, devices, circuits and systems. The design and implementation of real-time process control methods in manufacturing requires the knowledge of the radiative properties of materials. Sensors and imagers operate on the basis of the radiative properties of materials. This book reviews the optical properties of various semiconductors in the infrared range of wavelengths. Theoretical and experimental studies of the radiative properties of semiconductors are presented. Previous studies, potential applications and future developments are outlined. In Chapter 1, an introduction to the radiative properties is presented. Examples of instrumentation for measurements of the radiative properties is described in Chapter 2. In Chapters 3-11, case studies of the radiative properties of several semiconductors are elucidated. The modeling and applications of these properties are explained in Chapters 12 and 13, respectively. In Chapter 14, examples of the global infrastructure for these measurements are illustrated.
Download or read book Thermal Transport in Semiconductors written by Pol Torres Alvarez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from a broad overview of heat transport based on the Boltzmann Transport Equation, this book presents a comprehensive analysis of heat transport in bulk and nanomaterials based on a kinetic-collective model (KCM). This has become key to understanding the field of thermal transport in semiconductors, and represents an important stride. The book describes how heat transport becomes hydrodynamic at the nanoscale, propagating very much like a viscous fluid and manifesting vorticity and friction-like behavior. It introduces a generalization of Fourier’s law including a hydrodynamic term based on collective behavior in the phonon ensemble. This approach makes it possible to describe in a unifying way recent experiments that had to resort to unphysical assumptions in order to uphold the validity of Fourier’s law, demonstrating that hydrodynamic heat transport is a pervasive type of behavior in semiconductors at reduced scales.

This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents physics-based electro-thermal models of bipolar power semiconductor devices including their packages, and describes their implementation in MATLAB and Simulink. It is a continuation of our first book Modeling of Bipolar Power Semiconductor Devices. The device electrical models are developed by subdividing the devices into different regions and the operations in each region, along with the interactions at the interfaces, are analyzed using the basic semiconductor physics equations that govern device behavior. The Fourier series solution is used to solve the ambipolar diffusion equation in the lightly doped drift region of the devices. In addition to the external electrical characteristics, internal physical and electrical information, such as junction voltages and carrier distribution in different regions of the device, can be obtained using the models. The instantaneous dissipated power, calculated using the electrical device models, serves as input to the thermal model (RC network with constant and nonconstant thermal resistance and thermal heat capacity, or Fourier thermal model) of the entire module or package, which computes the junction temperature of the device. Once an updated junction temperature is calculated, the temperature-dependent semiconductor material parameters are re-calculated and used with the device electrical model in the next time-step of the simulation. The physics-based electro-thermal models can be used for optimizing device and package design and also for validating extracted parameters of the devices. The thermal model can be used alone for monitoring the junction temperature of a power semiconductor device, and the resulting simulation results used as an indicator of the health and reliability of the semiconductor power device.

Download or read book Thermal Conduction Phenomena in Nanostructured Semiconductor Devices and Materials written by Mr. Zijian Li and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal phenomena have become very important in a variety of nanostructured semiconductor devices and materials. The reduced dimensions and large interface densities lead to complex thermal phenomena which do not occur in bulk materials and larger devices. Successful designs of high-performance semiconductor devices, including phase change memory (PCM) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMT), rely on the accurate thermal characterization of thin film materials and improved understanding of nanoscale energy transport physics. This thesis addresses nanoscale thermal transport problems relevant for three promising electronics technologies. The first part of this work investigates thermal conduction phenomena in phase change memory. A combination of frequency-domain electrical thermometry and suspended microstructure design are used to measure the in- and out-of-plane thermal conductivities of thin-film Ge2Sb2Te5 in the amorphous and crystalline phases. The preferential grain orientation and mixed phase distribution lead to a reduced in-plane thermal conductivity that is 60% -- 80% of the out-of-plane value. Anisotropic heat conduction benefits PCM devices by reducing the programming current and mitigating the thermal disturbance to adjacent cells. A fully coupled electrothermal simulation unveils the detailed transient phase distribution during a programming operation, enabling more efficient structural designs for multilevel memory operation. This research extends the thermal characterization and modeling techniques to diamond-based high electron mobility transistors. The high thermal conductivity of the diamond provides superior thermal performance and allows for up to 10x higher power density. Nanoheaters down to 50 nm wide are patterned by electron-beam lithography in order to measure the thermal resistance experienced by the single transistor channel, the multi-gate configuration, and the device package. The thermal resistance data reveals the critical role of thermal interface between the GaN device layer and the diamond substrate. This work established a criterion for the diamond technology to be viable in HEMT applications. Specifically, the thermal interface resistance needs to be less than 30 m2K/GW. The lengthscales of thermal conduction studied in this research are further scaled down to a few nanometers in the final portion of this work. This work measures the thermal properties of the mirror material for extreme ultra-violet (EUV) lithography as the next-generation semiconductor manufacturing technology. The thermal transport across the interfaces of drastically different materials, such as the Mo/Si multilayers (2.8 nm / 4.1 nm), is important in the performance and reliability of the EUV mirrors. This work demonstrates strong anisotropy in the thermal conductivities of the multilayers, where the in-plane conductivity is 13 times higher than the out-of-plane value, owing to the high density of metal-semiconductor interfaces. This research reveals that thermal conduction in such periodic multilayer composites is largely determined by the nonequilibrium electron-phonon physics. A new model indicates that two additional mechanisms -- quasi-ballistic phonon transport normal to the metal film and inelastic electron-interface scattering -- can also impact conduction in metal-dielectric multilayers with period below 10 nm, the critical length scale for the EUV mirrors.
Download or read book Theory of the Thermal Conductivity of Metals Alloys and Semiconductors written by John R. Madigan and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present status of the theory of thermal conductivity in solids is such that although the processes leading to thermal resistance are understood in a qualititative manner, there is, as yet no reliable quantitative theory. To illustrate the successes and failures of the present theory we have calculated the heat conduction in a perfect linear lattice. It is possible to perform the necessary calculations for this model without the dange of becoming lost in a forest of indices. In a perfect crystal of reasonable size phonon-phonon interactions are the only scattering events which determine thermal resistance and the transition probability vanishes for phonon-phonon scattering in a one-dimensional lattice. We have demonstrated that to simultaneously satisfy the selection rules on the wave vectors and the energy at least one of the wave vectors must be to a reciprocal lattice vector (more precisely zero in the one-dimensional case). This causes the transition probability as calculated by first order perturbation theory to vanish for cubic anharmonic terms in the potential energy of the lattice. The thermal conductivity of simple alloys has been calculated by assuming that the addtional scattering in the alloy is due to mass difference of the elements comprising the alloy. This "isotope effect" has been used to calculate the thermal conductivity of Si-Ge alloys.
