Analysis of the breakdown mechanism for an ultra high voltage high-side thin layer silicon-on-insulator p-channel low-density metal-oxide semiconductor

This paper discusses the breakdown mechanism and proposes a new simulation and test method of breakdown voltage(BV) for an ultra-high-voltage(UHV) high-side thin layer silicon-on-insulator(SOI) p-channel lateral double-diffused metal-oxide semiconductor(LDMOS).Compared with the conventional simulation method,the new one is more accordant with the actual conditions of a device that can be used in the high voltage circuit.The BV of the SOI p-channel LDMOS can be properly represented and the effect of reduced bulk field can be revealed by employing the new simulation method.Simulation results show that the off-state(on-state) BV of the SOI p-channel LDMOS can reach 741(620) V in the 3-μm-thick buried oxide layer,50-μm-length drift region,and at 400 V back-gate voltage,enabling the device to be used in a 400 V UHV integrated circuit.     

ZnO nanorod arrays with tunable size and field emission properties on an ITO substrate achieved by an electrodeposition method

In the present work,vertically aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with tunable size are successfully synthesized on nonseeded ITO glass substrates by a simple electrodeposition method.The effect of growth conditions on the phase,morphology,and orientation of the products are studied in detail by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).It is observed that the as-prepared nanostructures exhibit a preferred orientation along c axis,and the size and density of the ZnO nanorod can be controlled by changing the concentration of ZnCl2.Field emission properties of the as-synthesized samples with different diameters are also studied,and the results show that the nanorod arrays with a smaller diameter and appropriate rod density exhibit better emission properties.The ZnO nanorod arrays show a potential application in field emitters.     

Influence of different oxidants on band alignment of HfO2 films deposited by atomic layer deposition

Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), influences of different oxidants on band alignment of HfO₂ films deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) are investigated in this paper. The measured valence band offset (VBO) value for H₂O-based HfO₂ increases from 3.17 eV to 3.32 eV after annealing, whereas the VBO value for O₃-based HfO₂ decreases from 3.57 eV to 3.46 eV. The research results indicate that the silicate layer changes in different ways for H₂O-based and O₃-based HfO₂ films after annealing process, which plays a key role in generating the internal electric field formed by the dipoles. The variations of the dipoles at the interface between the HfO₂ and SiO₂ after annealing may lead the VBO values of H₂O-based and O₃-based HfO₂ to vary in different ways, which is in agreement with the varition of flat band (V_FB) voltage.     

Effect of Polymerizable Photoinitiators on the UV‐polymerization behaviors of photosensitive polysiloxane

In this contribution, three polymerizable benzophenone photoinitiators containing maleimide group including 4‐maleimidebenzophenone (MBP), 4‐chlorine‐4′‐maleimide benzophenone (CMBP), and 4‐maleimide‐4′‐[(4‐maleimide)thiophenyl]benzophenone (MMTBP) were designed and synthesized to enhance the polymerization degree of photosensitive polysiloxane containing methacryloxy active groups (MAPSO). The polymerization behaviors of the MAPSO cured by different photoinitiators were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). It was noted that the MAPSO initiated by MMTBP showed a high carbon–carbon double bond conversion above 80% because of the existence of thiophenyl group which could generate more radicals from the photolysis reaction at the C? S bond. In addition, the thermal stability of the UV‐cured MAPSO were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the result showed that the initial 5% mass loss (T _5%) and residual weight percent at 800 °C in nitrogen of the UV‐cured MAPSO initiated by MMTBP systems was 200 °C and 33.8%. Thus, this work provides a new perspective and efficient strategy to improve the polymerization degree of UV‐curable polysiloxanes with carbon–carbon double bonds. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Immobilization of AIEgens into metal‐organic frameworks: Ligand design,emission behavior,and applications

Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE), in which the luminophores are highly emissive in aggregate state, is one of the most unique photophysical phenomena and has shown interesting applications in many areas. The immobilization of AIE luminogens (AIEgens) into metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), which are inorganic‐organic hybrid porous materials with tunable and predictable structures, has been investigated over the past few years. These well‐defined porous frameworks cannot only provide an ideal platform for studying the mechanism of AIE phenomenon in solid state, but also show potential applications from sensing to white light‐emitting diodes. In this highlight, we will summarize the recent progress of AIEgens‐based MOFs, including ligand design, emission behavior, and applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Synthesis of ethylene/vinyl ester copolymers with pendent linear branches via ring‐opening metathesis polymerization of fatty acid‐derived cyclooctenes

Fatty acid‐derived cyclooctenes, including n‐hexanoic acid ( M1 ), n‐octanoic acid ( M2 ), lauric acid ( M3 ), and palmitic acid ( M4 ), were prepared as monomers and polymerized by ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using Grubbs second‐generation catalyst ( G2 ). In all the cases, the regio‐irregular unsaturated polymers with pendent linear branches were obtained, which could be saturated by chemical hydrogenation with TSH/TPA in high conversion, yielding ethylene/vinyl ester copolymers with pendent linear branches on precisely every eighth backbone carbon. Both unsaturated and saturated polymers were amorphous, and their structures were characterized by FTIR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo‐gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to study their thermal properties. The chain length of branches greatly affected the thermal properties of polymers. After hydrogenation, the thermal degradation stability of polymers was relatively improved. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2017 , 55, 2211–2220

Robust finite-time control allocation in spacecraft attitude stabilization under actuator misalignment

A novel combination of finite time control and control allocation with uncertain configuration matrix due to actuator misalignment is investigated for attitude stabilization of a rigid spacecraft. Finite time controller using nonsingular terminal sliding mode technique is firstly designed as virtual control of control allocator to produce the three axis torques, and can guarantee finite time reachability of given attitude motion of spacecraft in the presence of external disturbances. The convergences of this feedback controller for the resulting closed loop systems are also proven theoretically. Then, under the condition of uncertainty included in the configuration matrix due to actuator misalignment, a robust least squares-based control allocation is employed to deal with the problem of distributing the three axis torques over the available actuators under redundancy, in which the focus of this control allocation is to find the optimal control vector of actuator by minimizing the worst-case residual, under the condition of the uncertainty included in actuator configuration matrix and control constraints like saturation. Simulation results using the orbiting spacecraft model show good performance under external disturbances and even uncertain configuration matrix, which validates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme.
