The document discusses techniques for measuring resistivity and mapping resistivity variations across semiconductor wafers. It begins by defining resistivity and listing typical resistivity values for different materials. It then describes two common measurement techniques: two-point probe and four-point probe. Four-point probe is more accurate as it eliminates lead and contact resistance. Factors that affect measurement accuracy like sample size, carrier injection, and probe spacing are also covered. The document concludes by explaining techniques for wafer mapping like double implant, modulated photoreflectance, and optical densitometry.

The three terminals of the FET are known as Gate, Drain, and Source.
It is a voltage controlled device, where the input voltage controls by the output current.
In FET current used to flow between the drain and the source terminal. And this current can be controlled by applying the voltage between the gate and the source terminal.
So this applied voltage generate the electric field within the device and by controlling these electric field we can control the flow of current through the device.
Here are the all short channel effects that you require.It consist of:-

Measurement is the estimation of the magnitude of some attribute of an object, such as its length or weight, relative to a unit of measurement.
Measurement usually involves using a measuring instrument, such as a ruler or scale, which is calibrated to compare the object to some standard, such as a meter or a kilogram. In science, however, where accurate measurement is crucial, a measurement is understood to have three parts: first, the measurement itself, second, the margin of error, and third, the confidence level -- that is, the probability that the actual property of the physical object is within the margin of error.
For example, we might measure the length of an object as 2.34 meters plus or minus 0.01 meter, with a 95% level of confidence.

At the applied voltage a disc-shaped cavity with partial discharges are measured at variable frequency (0.01-50 Hz). By varying the frequency it was observed that measured PD phase, magnitude of distributions and number of PDs per voltage cycles are varied. In the cavity, sequence of Partial discharge is simulated dynamically. For that purpose a model is presented with charge consistent. Simulated results shows that cavity surface and emission properties are effected by varying the magnitude of applied frequency, mainly conductivity of surface. This paper is illustrating the frequency dependence of PD in a cavity. The paper illustrates how the applied voltage amplitude and the cavity size can influence the frequency dependence PD activity.
Design of the Probe Sensor for the TDR Soil Moisture Sensor SystemIJLT EMAS
The probe sensor is of two parallel plates type which is used to determine the moisture content of the soil. The probe sensor is connected to a resistance to time period converter circuit of the TDR soil moisture sensor system whose output time period depends upon the resistance of the soil which in turn depends upon the moisture content of the soil acting as medium between the plates of the probe sensor. The TDR probe sensor is designed and simulated using the Integrated Electro software in order to determine the effects of the parameters like length, thickness and gap between the plates on electric field and energy density. The simulation results are used to predict and determine the geometry of the probe sensor, the materials that should be used in making the plates of the probe sensor and coating the plates of the probe sensor for reducing the effects of the fringing field and noise in the environment.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF
RESISTIVITY
• Measure of the resisting power of a specified material to the flow of an electric
current.
• Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho).
• The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m)
• Resistivity ρ=R(A/L)

7. WHY FOUR POINT PROBE?
• To attain the standardization of Probe technique with utmost accuracy
• Current path is same as that of the two probe method
• But, Voltage is measured with two additional contact
• Input impedance of voltmeter around 1012 ohms or higher so current
not large amount pass in voltmeter.
• the voltage drops across RW and RC are negligibly small and can be
neglected and the measured voltage is essentially the voltage drop
across the DUT
8. • The four point probe method, as indicated in Figure, has four equally spaced in-line probes with
probe tip diameters small compared to the probe spacing, S.

• Where
s is the distance between two probe
F represents the correction factor
• F = F1 F2 F3
• F1 corrects for sample thickness,
• F2 for lateral sample dimensions,
• F3 for placement of the probes relative to the sample edges.

12. SHEET RESISTANCE
• Measure of the resistivity averaged over the
surface
• Sheet resistance is a measure of resistance of
thin films that are nominally uniform in
thickness.
• The utility of sheet resistance as opposed
to resistance or resistivity is that it is directly
measured using a four-point probe
measurement or indirectly by using a non-
contact eddy current based testing device.
• Sheet resistance can be used to compare the
electrical properties of devices that are
significantly different in size.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE MEASUREMENT ACCURACY
Measurement
Errors and
Precautions
15. SAMPLE SIZE
• correction factor F depends on the thickness of the material
• If the wafer or the layer to be measured is appreciably thinner than the probe spacing,
the calculated resistivity varies directly with thickness.
• It is therefore very important to determine the thickness accurately for resistivity
determination.
16. MINORITY - MAJORITY CARRIER INJECTION
• Metal-semiconductor contacts do inject minority carriers, but their injection efficiency is
low.
• However, under high current conditions it may not be negligible.
• Minority carrier injection causes conductivity modulation because increased minority
carrier density leads to increased majority carrier density (to maintain charge neutrality)
and subsequent enhanced conductivity.
• To reduce minority carrier injection, the surface should have a high recombination rate for
minority carriers. This is best achieved by using lapped surfaces.
17. PROBE SPACING
• A mechanical four-point probe exhibits small random probe spacing
variations.
• Such variations give erroneous values of resistivity or sheet resistance,
especially when evaluating uniformly doped wafers.
• In such cases it is very important to know whether any non-uniformities are
due to the wafer, due to process variations, or due to measurement errors.
18. CURRENT
• The current can affect the
measured resistivity in two ways:
1. by an apparent resistivity increase
produced by wafer heating
2. by an apparent resistivity
decrease due to minority and/or
majority carrier injection.

19. HIGH RESISTIVITY MATERIALS
• Materials of very high resistivity are more difficult to measure by four-point probe method.
• Moderately doped wafers can become highly resistive at low temperatures and are similarly
difficult to measure.
20. WAFER MAPPING
• originated in the 1970s
• originally developed to characterize ion implantation uniformity
• During wafer mapping the sheet resistance or some other parameter
proportional to ion implant dose is measured at many locations across a
sample. The data are then converted to two-dimensional or three-
dimensional contour maps
• Contour maps are a more powerful display of process uniformity than
displaying the same data in tabular form. A well-designed contour map gives
instant information about ion implant uniformity, flow patterns during
diffusion, epitaxial reactor non-uniformities, etc.
21. THE MOST COMMON SHEET RESISTANCE WAFER
MAPPING TECHNIQUES ARE:
Wafer mapping techniques
Double implant
technique
Modulated
photoreflectance
Optical
densitometry
22. DOUBLE IMPLANT TECHNIQUE
A p-type (n-type) impurity is implanted into an n-type (p-type) substrate at a dose 1 and energy
E1.
desired low-dose impurity is implanted at dose 2 and energy E2, with E2 < E1.
E2 should be less than E1 to prevent penetration through the first implant layer.
The sheet resistance Rsh2 after the second implant is
measured and compared to Rsh1 without annealing the
second implant.
The second sheet resistance measurement relies on the
implant damage of the second implant being proportional to
the implant dose.

24. MODULATED PHOTO REFLECTANCE
In the modulated photo reflectance ,an Ar+ ion laser beam, incident on the semiconductor sample, is
modulated at a frequency of 0.1 to 10 MHz, creating transient thermal waves near the surface that
propagate at different speeds in damaged and crystalline regions.
Hence, signals from regions with various damages differ, leading to a measure of crystal damage.
The thermal wave diffusion length at a 1 MHz modulation frequency is 2 to 3 μm.
The small temperature variations cause small volume changes of the wafer near the surface and the
surface expands slightly.
These changes include both thermoelastic and optical effects, and they are detected with a second
laser—the probe beam—by measuring the reflectivity change
25. • The technique is contactless and non-destructive and has been used to measure
implant doses from 10^11 to 10^15 cm^3
• Its chief strength lies in the ability to detect low-dose implants contactless and to
display the information as contour maps.

26. OPTICAL DENSITOMETRY
A transparent substrate, typically glass, is coated with a thin
film consisting of a polymer carrier and an implant sensitive
radiochromic dye.
During implant, the dye molecule undergoes heterolytic
cleavage, resulting in positive ions with a peak light
absorption at a wavelength of 600 nm.
When this polymer-coated glass wafer is ion implanted, the
film darkens. The amount of darkening depends on the
implant energy, dose, and species.

29. ONE SUCH CONTACTLESS TECHNIQUE IS EDDY CURRENT TECHNIQUE
• The eddy current measurement technique is based on the parallel resonant tank circuit.
• The quality factor of such a circuit is reduced when a conducting material is brought close to the coil due to
the power absorbed by the conducting material.
30. • In the ultrasound method sound waves are reflected from the
upper and lower wafer surfaces located between the two probes .
• The phase shift of the reflected sound caused by the impedance
variation of the air gap is detected by the sonic receiver.
• The phase shift is proportional to the distance from each probe to
each surface. With known probe spacing, the wafer thickness can be
determined.
32. FOUR-POINT PROBE TECHNIQUE
Strength Weakness

recourse to calibrated standards
surface damage
wafer mapping makes it powerful

of the wafer, prevents high

33. CONTACTLESS TECHNIQUES
Strength Weakness

destruction of material
inability to determine the sheet
resistance of thin diffused or ion-
implanted layers
availability of commercial equipment Need of highly doped layer on an
insulating substrate to detect such
resistance by making sheet
resistance of the layer to be on the
order of a hundred times lower than
the sheet resistance of the substrate
34. OPTICAL TECHNIQUES
