Modeling fast-transient defect evolution and carrier recombination in pulse-neutron-irradiated Si devices

Physica B: Condensed Matter

Myers, S.M.; Wampler, W.R.; Cooper, P.J.; King, Donald B.

This work explores the feasibility of mechanistically modeling the transient behavior of defects and carriers in bipolar Si devices exposed to pulses of MeV neutrons. Our approach entails a detailed, finite-element treatment of the diffusion, field-drift, and reactions of well-established primal defects and reacted states, taking into account the localization of displacement damage within secondary cascades. The modeling captures a variety of the properties of pulse-neutron-irradiated transistors observed from electrical measurements and deep-level transient spectroscopy, using parameter values consistent with independently available information. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Damage equivalence of heavy ions in silicon bipolar junction transistors

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Bielejec, E.; Vizkelethy, G.; Kolb, N.R.; King, Donald B.; Doyle, Barney L.

Results of displacement damage correlation between neutrons, light ions and heavy ions in bipolar junction transistors are presented. Inverse gain degradation as the function of fluence was measured. The inverse gain degradation due to heavy ion irradiation followed the Messenger-Spratt equation, while some deviation was found for light ions. © 2006 IEEE.
