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.
