Hot carrier degradation is fundamentally same as the total dose damage to semiconductors, as experienced in space systems due to solar proton, electron, X-ray and gamma ray exposure.
12.
There are also longer-term concerns : various adverse device-level effects such as hot carrier injection and electromigration occur more rapidly at higher voltages, decreasing the lifespan of overvolted components.

No . 10 Tennessee at No . 17 Syracuse, Noon ( ESPN ) : Tee Martin gets his first start at quarterback in what will be a loud, hot Carrier Dome.

The "'Schottky diode "'( named after German physicist Walter H . Schottky ), also known as "'hot carrier diode "', is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal.
15.
There he established a laboratory that explored frontiers of electron transport in solids covering topics as diverse as high-frequency properties of normal metals, transverse focusing, hot carriers, electron relaxation in semiconductors, and superconductivity including the localization of Cooper pairs.
16.
These limitations include : 1 ) the incomplete absorption of the entire light spectrum, 2 ) thermalization of hot carriers in the form of excess heat, 3 ) chemical potential ( thermodynamic ) losses, and 4 ) radiative recombination.

The term hot carrier injection usually refers to the effect in MOSFETs, where a carrier is injected from the conducting channel in the silicon substrate to the gate dielectric, which usually is made of silicon dioxide ( SiO 2 ).
18.
Of course you also see increased heat generation from the higher drift velocity, more hot carrier effects in gates, etc which may have been what you meant anyway ( forgive me if I misinterpreted you ) .-- mattb @ 2007-03-29T22 : 26Z

The physical essence of the difference is usually that photoelectric emission separates the charges by ballistic conduction and photovoltaic emission separates them by diffusion, but one should note that some " hot carrier " photovoltaic device concepts blur even this line of distinction.
20.
Further examples of anharmonic oscillators include the large-angle pendulum; nonequilibrium semiconductors that possess a large hot carrier population, which exhibit nonlinear behaviors of various types related to the effective mass of the carriers; and ionospheric plasmas, which also exhibit nonlinear behavior based on the anharmonicity of the plasma.
