Diffusion length measurements using laser beam induced current - Trang 463-466
D.A. Redfern, J.A. Thomas, C.A. Musca, J.M. Dell, L. Faraone
The minority carrier diffusion length is a key indicator of material quality and gives an indication of n-on-p diode performance when the zero bias resistance is diffusion limited. In this study diffusion length is measured using a laser beam induced current technique, applied to a shallow p-n junction formed using standard diode junction formation conditions. Two dimensional modelling is used to ...... hiện toàn bộ

Schottky behaviour of Pd//spl beta/-SiC junctions - Trang 328-331
S. Basu, S. Roy, R. Laha, C. Jacob, S. Nishino
Pd//spl beta/-SiC Schottky junctions using both epilayer and bulk SiC were fabricated and characterised by current-voltage (I-V) measurements. The effect of operating temperature on IN characteristics was studied. The ideality factor improved considerably at higher temperature. Annealing of Pd//spl beta/-SiC Schottky junctions at 400/spl deg/C improved the junction characteristics, which deteriora...... hiện toàn bộ

A ZnO/SiO/sub 2//Si[100] Love mode transducer - Trang 367-370
K. Kalantar-Zadeh, W. Wlodarski, A. Holland, G. Reeves
ZnO/SiO/sub 2//Si[100] Love mode transducers were fabricated. SiO/sub 2/ films were deposited using electron beam evaporation. ZnO films were deposited using r.f. magnetron sputtering. ZnO and SiO/sub 2/ films were examined by SEM and the performance of the transducers was examined by their acoustic response. The observation of the SAW Love mode delay line was performed under untuned conditions. O...... hiện toàn bộ

Ultra-thin epitaxial zirconia oxide on silicon with crystalline interface - Trang 543-546
S.J. Wang, C.K. Ong, S.Y. Xu, P. Chen
Epitaxial crystalline yittria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films were grown on a silicon wafer by the laser molecular beam epitaxy technique. The interface of crystalline YSZ film in contact with silicon was found atomically sharp and commensurately crystallized without an amorphous layer. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy depth profile and transmission electron microscopy investigation showed there w...... hiện toàn bộ

Hydrogenation of ZnS passivation for HgCdTe - Trang 177-180
J.K. White, R. Pal, C.A. Musca, J.M. Dell, L. Faraone, P. Burke
The physical and electrical effects of exposing ZnS passivation to a H/sub 2//CH/sub 4/ reactive ion etch (RIE) plasma are examined. Using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and capacitance-voltage (CV) analysis, hydrogen is shown to penetrate through the ZnS and accumulate on the ZnS side of the ZnS/HgCdTe interface, causing a reduction in the positive fixed charge density, possibly due to bi...... hiện toàn bộ

Quantum noise-suppressed operation of TJS and SQW ridge-waveguide laser diodes in photon transistor configurations - Trang 101-104
P.J. Edwards, W.N. Cheung, A. Uddin, G. Ganeshkumar, K. Tanaka, T. Morita, H. Kan, Y. Yamamoto
We report the first successful incorporation of shot noise-suppressed laser diodes in a closed-loop photon transistor amplifier configuration. We have measured and modelled the current gain, bandwidth and noise level of transverse junction stripe and quantum well laser diodes in open loop (optocoupler) and closed loop (common-emitter) photon transistor configurations. At liquid nitrogen temperatur...... hiện toàn bộ

Vertical transport through GaAs-based heterostructures with misfit dislocations in a strong magnetic field - Trang 451-454
T. Wosinski, T. Figielski, A. Makosa, W. Dobrowolski, O. Pelya, B.F. Usher, B. Pecz
Current passing in the forward direction through a GaAs-based heterojunction at liquid helium temperatures exhibits, under a strong magnetic field applied parallel to the junction plane, regular fluctuations. We argue that these fluctuations are associated with the formation of closed Aharonov-Bohm-type orbits encircling misfit dislocations generated at the interface in which the current carriers ...... hiện toàn bộ

Temperature-dependent DC performances of InP/InGaAlAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) using the InGaAlAs quaternary alloy as the base and collector layers are studied and reported. When compared with conventional InP/InGaAs HBTs, the device studied exhibits a higher common-emitter breakdown voltage and a lower output conductance even at high temperature. In addition, with decreasing temp...... hiện toàn bộ

A vehicle cabin air quality monitor using carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O/sub 2/) gas sensors has been designed, developed and on-road tested. The continuous monitoring of oxygen and carbon monoxide provides added vehicle safety as alarms could be set off when dangerous gas concentrations are reached, preventing driver fatigue, drowsiness, and exhaust gas suicides. CO concentrations of 30 ppm a...... hiện toàn bộ
