C-V (or capacitance-voltage) profiling refers to a technique used for the characterization of semiconductor materials and devices. C-V testing is often used during the characterization process to determine semiconductor parameters, particularly in MOSCAP and MOSFET structures.
C-V measurements can reveal oxide thickness, oxide charges, contamination from mobile ions, and interface trap density in wafer processes. In this image the C-V profile for a bulk p-type substrate MOSCAP with different …

Fermi-Dirac statistics is applied to identical particles with half-integer spin (such as electrons) in a system that is in thermal equilibrium. Since particles are assumed to have negligible mutual interactions, this allows a multi-particle system to be described in terms of single-particle energy states. Fermi-Dirac statistics are commonly used in semiconductors to find the distribution of electrons as a function of energy. …

Microelectronic devices are made by repeating two steps: 1) Depositing a thin uniform layer of material; 2) Then using a photographic process to pattern and remove unwanted areas of that layer.
This video shows the simulation and analysis of a MOSFET device using the MOSFet tool. Several powerful analytic features of this tool are demonstrated.

A PN junction is formed by joining p-type and n-type doped semiconductors together in very close contact. The p- and n-type semiconductors are conducting because of the available free carriers. However, because the carriers diffuse into the adjoining p and n regions by a process called…

Threshold voltage in a metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (better known as a MOSFET) is usually defined as the gate voltage at which an inversion layer forms at the interface between the insulating layer (oxide) and the substrate (body) of the transistor. A MOSFET is said to be turned ON or be in the ON state beyond the threshold voltage.
With the scaling of MOSFET channel lengths, researchers are looking at new transistor designs. Among them is the gate-all-around nanowire …

Electrons tunneling through the gate of an ultra-scaled transistor.
Why are Crystals important for material engineering? This project tested different crystals with varying band gaps in order to demonstrate the relationship between observable optical properties and physical properties of crystals.
