A theoretical and experimental investigation on the electron impact ionization in silicon has been carried out in the temperature range between 300 and773 K. The impact-ionization model proposed here amply extends the range of simulation tools up to nearly 800 K, which is especially important in order to predict the failure threshold of ESD-protection and power devices.

Abstract
A theoretical and experimental investigation on the electron impact ionization in silicon has been carried out in the temperature range between 300 and773 K. The impact-ionization model proposed here amply extends the range of simulation tools up to nearly 800 K, which is especially important in order to predict the failure threshold of ESD-protection and power devices.File in questo prodotto:
