Radiation Effect in Electronic Materials, Circuits, Devices, and Systems- Theoretical Study of Electronic Transport and Thermalization

Abstract

We propose to employ full-band Monte Carlo simulations of 1. electron transport in semiconductor devices in the presence of radiation damage and 2. of the thermalization of radiation-generated carriers below about 100 eV. The devices we propose to study are based on a variety of materials, depending on the intended applications- Mainly Si (FETs) and nitrides (GaN-AlGaN, RF devices) but, conditionally, also III-V compound semiconductors (Ga-In-As-Sb alloys, FETs and photodetectors), GaInP-Ga(In)As-Ge (photovoltaic cells), and ultra-widegap ones.
