Correlation of Laser-and Ion-Induced Effects on Emerging Technologies

Abstract

The objective of this work is to understand the charge generation and collection by pulsed-laser irradiation in advanced electronic devices with sufficient clarity that advanced device response is predictable from first principles physics and design information. No a priori limits on the materials, their arrangements, or the parameters of the laser light are to be established. Rather, computations will proceed from first principles, and the effects of varying band gaps, dielectric functions, materials, and materials placement will be studied. Experimental methods using proven electro-optical measurement techniques with sub-picosecond resolution will be used to capture laser-induced charge collection signatures.
