Work description

One of the important limits for device operation is the space-charge limit, which corresponds to the maximum allowed current before no more electrons can be emitted into a diode. This limit is given by the Mott-Gurney law in a trap-free solid or the Mark-Helfrich law for a solid with traps distributed exponentially in energy. Because ionizing radiation will create electrons and ions in a semiconductor device, this project will involve elucidating the effect of these charges on these limits. This may include using simulations to characterize behavior or adapting analytic theories to include ionizing radiation effects.SCALE is a microelectronics workforce development program.Program dates are not flexible.
