High-field electron velocity in silicon surface-accumulation layers

Temperature dependence of saturation velocity in bulk silicon and in surface-accumulation layers was studied between room temperature and 600 K. The saturation electron velocity in bulk silicon was found to have a steeper temperature dependence than previously reported. The saturation velocity in su...

Zusammenfassung:Temperature dependence of saturation velocity in bulk silicon and in surface-accumulation layers was studied between room temperature and 600 K. The saturation electron velocity in bulk silicon was found to have a steeper temperature dependence than previously reported. The saturation velocity in surface-accumulation layers was found to be equal to the electron velocity in the bulk, and independent of the perpendicular electric field.
