摘要
A new approach to simulation of a device that is subject to low-dose high-energy ion irradiation is presented with regard to different energy magnitudes, dose and temperature of subsequent annealing. The procedure utilizes an ion-implantation process simulator, an expert system based on experiment, and a 1-D device simulator with an improved model of thermal generation/recombination. Measured and simulated spatial distribution of minority carrier lifetime within a GTO thyristor provided rigorous system verification. The results of proton and helium irradiation are compared from the standpoint of the ON-state spatial distribution of excess carriers in a high-power thyristor. The forward voltage drop is shown as a function of dose, energy and annealing temperature. The influence of ion irradiation on the simulated trade-off between voltage drop and reverse recovery time of a high-power diode is likewise discussed considering the soft-factor and the reverse current.
