These diodes have a heavily doped p n junction only some 10 nm (100 ) wide. The hea vy doping results in a broken bandgap, where conduction band electron states on the n-side are more or less aligned wit h valence band hole states on the p-side. Under normal forward bias operation, as voltage begins to increase, electrons at first tunnel through the very narrow p n junction barrier because filled electron states in the conduction band on the n-side become aligned with empty valence band hole states on the p-side of the p-n junction. As voltage increases further these states become more misaligned and the current drops this is called negative resistance because curr ent decreases with increasing voltage. As voltage increases yet further, the diode begins to operate as a normal diode, where electrons travel by conduction across the p n junction, and no longer by tunneling through the p n junction barrier . Thus the most important operating region for a tunnel diode is the negative resistance region. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Scattering parameters or S-parameters (the elements of a scattering matrix or Smatrix) describe the electrical

behavior of linear electrical networks when undergoing various steady state stim uli by electrical signals. The parameters are useful for electrical engineering, electronics engineering, a nd communication systems design, and especially for microwave engineering. The S-parameters are members of a family of similar parameters, other examples b eing: Y-parameters,[1] Z-parameters, [2] H-parameters, T-parameters or ABCD-parameters.[3][4] They differ from these, in the sense that S-parameters do not use open or short circuit conditions to characterize a linear electrical net work; instead, matched loads are used. These terminations are much easier to use at high signal frequencies than open-c ircuit and short-circuit terminations. Moreover, the quantities are measured in terms of power. Although applicable at any frequency, S-parameters are mostly used for networks operating at radio frequency (RF) and microwave frequencies where signal power and energy considerations are more easi ly quantified than currents and voltages. S-parameters change with the measurement frequency, so frequency must be specifi ed for any S-parameter measurements stated, in addition to the characteristic impedance or system impedance.

Approved. Viom is conducting activity **Please inform CNOC before st arting & af ter completion of this activity. The previous parameters are all defined in terms of voltages and currents at por ts. S-parameters are different, and are defined in terms of incident and reflected waves at ports. S-parameters are used primarily at UHF and microwave frequencies where it becomes difficult to measure voltages and current s directly. On the other hand, incident and reflected power are easy to measure using directional couplers. The definition is,[17] where the are the incident waves and the are the reflected waves at port k. It i s conventional to define the and in terms of the square root of power. Consequently, there is a relationship with the wave voltages (see main article for details).[18] For reciprocal networks .

for matched filter h(t)= s(T-t) The chemical reaction occurring at the silicon surface during dry oxidation is

Si + O2 SiO2 -----------------DRY OXIDATION

And for wet oxidation is

Si + 2H2O SiO2 + 2H2--------WET OXIDATION

Dry oxidation has a lower growth rate than wet oxidation although the oxide film quality is better than the wet oxide film. Therefore thin oxides such as screen oxide, pad oxide, and especially gate oxide normally use the dry oxidation proc ess. Dry oxidation also results in a higher density oxide than that achieved by wet oxide and so it has a higher breakdown voltage (5 to 10 MV/cm). [2]

In case of wet oxidation where water is use instead of oxygen, the water molecul e can dissociate at high temperatures to form hydroxide OH that can diffuse in the silicon faster than molecular O2. Therefore the wet oxidation process has a significantly higher oxidation rate than the dry oxidation. It is used to grow t hick oxides such as masking oxide, blanket field oxide, and the LOCOS oxide.
