Power loss analysis based on leakage currentin PN junctions

Abstract

This paper is proposed to analyze the power loss from leakage current in p-n junctions in case of non-uniform defects. The different geometry p-n junctions have been fabricated by a standard 0.8 micron CMOS technology. The diode fabricated by the ion implantation process with two different condition. The reverse current and voltage (I-V)characteristics at varied temperature of p-n junctions have been measured. The power loss coefficient can be extracted from the leakage current versus temperature. Form the derivative of leakage current with temperature, the power loss with prediction trend curve can be obtained. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
