Identification of some key parameters for photoelectric laser stimulation of IC: an experimental approach

The aim of this paper is to give a phenomenological approach of PLS in order to establish and justify what is the right choice of key parameters to perform a specific analysis. In this paper, we mostly focus on medium and low laser power density range. Our approach is built from experimental studies done on different apparatus giving us a wide range of parameter choices: from power densities in GW/cm/sup 2/ to mW/cm/sup 2/ range, from continuous to ultra short pulse, from fixed position to variable slow scan. This unique opportunity, experimental results and simulation performed has contributed to extend PLS knowledge.
