Similarity of optical properties of hydrides and semiconductors for antireflection coatings

The electronic structure and optical properties of the complex hydrides Ca₂FeH₆, Ca₂RuH₆, Mg₂FeH₆, Mg₂RuH₆, Sr₂FeH₆, Sr₂RuH₆ and Sr₂OsH₆ were studied using first-principles calculations. Optical spectra of the hydrides were compared with those of SiN _x , In₂O₃ and ZnO determined from theoretical calculations and measured experimentally. Based on an analysis of band structure, it is found that the electrical conductivity of the hydrides is expected to be poor. However, optical properties of the hydrides in the energy range 0–3 eV are found to be almost the same as those of SiN _x , In₂O₃, ZnO and TiO₂. Hydrides are suggested to be used as antireflection layers and for passivation of surface and bulk defects. This finding could be useful for electronic device technology including solar cells.

Criticality of metal resources for functional materials used in electronics and microelectronics

In microelectronic devices a multitude of essential, indispensable metals is functionalized. Many of these metals are scarce and rather often only mined as by‐products of base metals. For the industry but also for the development of new technologies this situation can evoke serious restrictions. In order to foresee, validate and minimize such risks a criticality concept is described. In this concept quantitative and qualitative criteria like scarcity, geo‐political restrictions, economic availability, efficiency, recyclability, potential dissipation, social and cultural factors, ecologic impacts, etc. are considered in order to define a reliable, sustainable and responsible implementation of strategic functional metals and materials into technical systems.

Laser printing of polythiophene for organic electronics

We report on the development of hybrid organic/inorganic thin-film transistors using regioregular poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) semiconductor material deposited by means of the solid-phase Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) technique. P3HT pixels were LIFT-printed onto Au/Ti source and drain electrodes formed on silicon dioxide/p⁺-type Si substrate. Deposition of the P3HT pixels was investigated as a function of the laser fluence using donor substrates with and without a dynamic release layer. Device electrical characterization reveals efficient field-effect action of the bottom gate on the organic channel. The transfer I_DS-V_GS characteristics exhibit well-defined sub-threshold, linear and saturation regimes designating LIFT as a promising technique for hybrid organic/inorganic transistor technology.     

Possible lattice formation of new materials within a piezoelectric semiconductor plasma

The possible lattice formation of grains of chosen material in a magnetized current carrying n-type piezoelectric semiconductor plasma has been examined. In addition to the repulsive Coulomb potential, there appears a non-Coulombic oscillatory potential among the highly charged grains due to the strong resonant collective interaction of the grains and the electron-acoustic mode of the host semiconductor giving rise to the possibility of the lattice formation of grains of new materials.     

The low-frequency electrical noise as reliability estimation for high power semiconductor lasers

The low-frequency electrical noise of 980 nm InGaAsP/InGaAs/GaAlAs double quantum well (DQW) high power semiconductor lasers (LDs) is measured when the devices are in conducting state and in unconducting state. The correlation between the noise and device reliability is discussed. The results indicate that there is a good relation between the noise and device reliability for most devices. The devices with higher noise are usually unreliable whether the device is in conducting state or in unconducting state.

A prototype of trigger electronics for LAWCA experiment

The Large Area Water Cherenkov Array （LAWCA） experiment focuses on high energy gamma astronomy between 100 GeV and 30 TeV. Invoked by the idea of hardware triggerless structure, a prototype of LAWCA trigger electronics is implemented in one single VME-9U module which obtains all the data from the 100 Front End Electronic （FEE） endpoints. Since the trigger electronics accumulate all the information, the flexibility of trigger processing can be improved. Meanwhile, the dedicated hardware trigger signals which are fed back to front end are eliminated; this leads to a system with better simplicity and stability. To accommodate the 5.4 Gbps system average data rate, the fiber based high speed serial data transmission is adopted. Based on the logic design in one single FPGA device, real-time trigger processing is achieved; the reprogrammable feature of the FPGA device renders a reconfigurable structure of trigger electronics. Simulation and initial testing results indicate that the trigger electronics prototype functions well.     

Spin gapless semiconductor like Ti2MnAl film as a new candidate for spintronics application

A novel Heusler ferrimagnet Ti₂MnAl film has been grown on Si(001) substrate using magnetron sputtering. Characteristics of its magnetic and transport properties reveal the spin‐gapless‐semiconductor (SGS) nature of the stoichiometric Ti₂MnAl, in agreement with theoretical prediction. The as‐grown SGS‐like Ti₂MnAl film demonstrated high Curie temperature, nearly compensated ferrimagnetic properties with small coercivity and low magnetization. It also showed semiconductor‐like behavior at room temperature allowing good compatibility with commercial Si‐based semiconductor. In this regards, Ti₂MnAl film is a potential candidate material for spintronics application, especially for the minimization of energy consumption of device. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co.

Proposal of the readout electronics for the WCDA in the LHAASO experiment

The LHAASO （Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory） experiment is proposed for a very high energy gamma ray source survey, in which the WCDA （Water Cherellkov Detector Array） is one of the major coinponents. In the WCDA, a total of 3600 PMTs are placed under water in four ponds, each with a size of 150m×150 m. Precise time and cimrge measurement is required for the PMT signals, over a large signal amplitude range from a single P.E. （photo electron） to 4000 P.E. To fulfill the high requirement of a signal measurement in so many front end nodes scattered in a large area, special techniques are developed, such as multiple gain readout, hybrid transmission of clocks, commands and data, precise clock phase alignment and new trigger electronics. We present the readout electronics architecture for the WCDA and several prototype modules, which are now being testedin the laboratory.

A promising approach to conductive patterns with high efficiency for flexible electronics

A promising approach for conductive patterns with high efficiency for flexible electronics was developed by direct-writing, silver(I) solution (silver nitrate, acetate silver, etc.) with no solid particles as a conductive ink, conductive pen as a writing implement, and polyimide (PI) film as a substrate. The physical properties of the conductive ink were investigated by a dynamic contact angle system, ubbelohde viscometer and surface tension instrument. Conductive properties of silver ink film were investigated by 4-point probe, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and surface profilometer. It is demonstrated how the design of solvent composition in conductive ink affects surface morphology, and conductivity of silver ink films. It can be obtained that conductive patterns drawn on PI substrate not only have good mechanical/electrical fatigue properties, but also have low resistivity. Especially, when the sintering condition is 200 °C for 60 min, the resistivity can be down to 6.6 μΩ cm, 4.25 times the silver bulk resistivity.
