Watching a GaN Transistor Switch: Real-Time Nanoscale Strain and Heat Dynamics
C. Corley-Wiciak, N. T. Sammler, B. Butej +16
Digital and energy technologies depend on microelectromechanical and power electronic components whose performance is critically impacted by rapid, cyclic deformations. Real-time i…
Subgrain-resolved Analysis of Degradation in Cu Metallization via Scanning 3DXRD and Thermomechanical Modeling
Nikhil Prabhu, Laura Neumann, Michael Reisinger +7
Metallization layers play a key role in the performance and reliability of modern power semiconductor devices. During short-circuit events, rapid heating of power metallization lay…
Oblique diffraction geometry for the observation of several non-coplanar Bragg reflections under identical illumination
C. Detlefs, A. Henningsson, B. Kanesalingam +9
We present a method to determine the strain tensor and local lattice rotation with Dark Field X-ray Microscopy. Using a set of at least 3 non-coplanar, symmetry-equivalent Bragg re…
Ge epitaxy at ultra-low growth temperatures enabled by a pristine growth environment
Christoph Wilflingseder, Johannes Aberl, Enrique Prado Navarette +11
Germanium (Ge), the next-in-line group-IV material, bears great potential to add functionality and performance to next-generation nanoelectronics and solid-state quantum transport…
