8.1 INTRODUCTION
• High mobility material has higher frequency response and higher current.
• Electron-electron or hole-hole scattering has no first-order effect on the mobility. Electron-hole scattering reduces the mobility.
• Minority carriers has ionized impurity scattering and electron-hole scattering, majority carriers has ionized impurity scattering.

CONDUCTIVITY MOBILITY
Measure the majority carrier concentration and the conductivity/resistivity is sufficient to calculate the conductivity mobility.
For p-type material.

Temperature and magnetic field dependent Hall coefficient for HgCdTe
showing typical mixed conduction behavior.
T=220~300K, n=ni2/p, RH is independent of B.
T=100~200K, mixed conduction causes RH to Decrease and depends on B.T<100K, p dominates, RH is independent of B.
12
The above results are based on the assumption of energy-independent scattering mechanisms.If it is relaxed, the Hall scattering factor r must be Included:

For symmetric samples F=1.

16
The depth profile can be measured by etch and measure method or by a pn junction controlled depletion width.

17
The spatial varying Hall parameters is determined by:
This is the so called differential Hall Effect, DHE.
18
Dopant density profiles determined by DHE, spreading resistance profiling, and secondary ion mass spectrometry.
19
DHE encounters difficulty with large parameter variation in multi layer system.Assume a upper layer has carrier density p1 and mobility μ1, and a lower layer has carrier density p2 and mobility μ2. The Hall effect measured weighted values are:
20
Multi layers
A two layer structure has a upper layer thickness of d1 a conductivity of σ1, and a lower layer thickness of d2 a conductivity of σ2, the Hall constant is given as:
At low magnetic field it becomes:
21
Multi layers
At high magnetic field the Hall constant becomes:
where RH1 is the layer 1 Hall constant, RH2 is thelayer 2 Hall constant, d=d1+d2 and σ is:
22

If the upper layer is more heavily doped or type inverted by surface charges, then the surface Hall parameters are measured

MAGNETORESISTANCE MOBILITY
(a) Hall sample, (b) short, wide sample, Hall voltage is nearly shorted;(c) Corbino disk, Hall voltage is shorted. They can be used to measure t
he magnetoresistance effect.
30
Physical magnetoresistance effect (PMR):The sample resistance increases when it is placed in a magnetic field. Because the conduction is anisotropic, involves more than one type of carrier, and carrier scattering is energy dependent. Geometrical magnetoresistance effect (GMR):The charge carrier path deviates from a straight line.
ξ=( 〈 τ3〉〈 τ〉 / 〈 τ2〉 2)2 is the magnetoresistance scattering factor.
GMR = H

32
For Corbino disc.
For rectangular samples with low L/W ratio and μGMRB<1
For determining the error in μGMR to be <10%, then L/W must be <0.4.

36
TIME-OF-FLIGHT DRIFT MOBILITY
This method was first demonstrated in Haynes-Shockley experiment. The pulse shape is :
Where N is the electron density in the packet at t=0. The first term in the exponent is drift and diffusion part and the second term is the recombination part.
37
TIME-OF-FLIGHT DRIFT MOBILITY
The minority carrier mobility is determined as
The diffusion constant is
where the pulse width Δtis measured at half themaximum amplitude.
38
The lifetime is determined by measuring the electron pulse at td1 and td2, corresponding to two drift voltages Vdr1 and Vdr2. If there is no minority carrier trapping, the output pulse is V01and V02, then
If there is minority carrier trapping, the pulse area is Ap, then plot log(Ap) vs. delay time td, the slope should be -1/τn.
= I/ qtn

40
From the above system, QN=qN=QA+QC
At t=0 QA=0, at t=tt QA=QN, where tt is the transit time
When QA changes from 0 to QN the external current is:
43
In Fig. a, V1 is applied to the gate and the diode, so there
won’t have inversion layer under the gate. V2’s period is
100us, its pulse width is 200ns. The poly-Si resistivity is
10KΩ/ □. Holes drift into the substrate, electrons drift
along the surface. The time difference between two
peaks gives the drift velocity. The field dependence of the
mobility is obtained by varying V2. The gate voltage
dependence of the mobility is obtained by varying V1.
44
For short channel devices with Rs
Solve for ID,sat and drop high order terms
Plot 1/ ID,sat vs. Lm, gives (1/ ID,sat)int and Lm,int
46
Plotting Lm,int vs. Lm,int /(1/ ID,sat)int has the slope A. Plotting A vs. 1/ (VGS-VT) gives the line with slope S.
The saturation velocity is
sat=1/ (WeffCox(S-2Rs))
