Abstract

The effect of radiation-induced disordered regions (DR) on the Joule heating of semiconductor is theoretically investigated. It is shown that both overheating and cooling of semiconductor near DR is possible depending on relation between DR and bulk thermal and electrical properties. Hence the existence of regions with different thermal and electrical properties in semiconductor material may both increase and decrease the probability of thermal break down.
