Laser cladding of copper with molybdenum for wear resistance enhancement in electrical contacts

Laser cladding of Mo on Cu has been attempted with the aim of enhancing the wear resistance and hence increasing the service life of electrical contacts made of Cu. In order to overcome the difficulties arising from the large difference in thermal properties and the low mutual solubility between Cu and Mo, Ni was introduced as an intermediate layer between Mo and Cu. The Ni and Mo layers were laser clad one after the other to form a sandwich layer of Mo/Ni/Cu. Excellent bonding between the clad layer and the Cu substrate was ensured by strong metallurgical bonding. The hardness of the surface of the clad layer is seven times higher than that of the Cu substrate. Pin-on-disc wear tests consistently showed that the abrasive wear resistance of the clad layer was also improved by a factor of seven as compared with untreated Cu substrate. The specific electrical contact resistance of the clad surface was about 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ Ω cm².

Vertical assembly of carbon nanotubes for via interconnects

The via interconnects are key components in ultra-large scale integrated circuits(ULSI).This paper deals with a new method to create single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) via interconnects using alternating dielectrophoresis(DEP).Carbon nanotubes are vertically assembled in the microscale via-holes successfully at room temperature under ambient condition.The electrical evaluation of the SWNT vias reveals that our DEP assembly technique is highly reliable and the success rate of assembly can be as high as 90%.We also propose and test possible approaches to reducing the contact resistance between CNT vias and metal electrodes.     

Deep level transient spectroscopy investigation of deep levels in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells with Te:Cu back contact

Deep levels in Cds/CdTe thin film solar cells have a potent influence on the electrical property of these devices. As an essential layer in the solar cell device structure, back contact is believed to induce some deep defects in the CdTe thin film. With the help of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), we study the deep levels in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells with Te:Cu back contact. One hole trap and one electron trap are observed. The hole trap H1, localized at E_v+0.128~eV, originates from the vacancy of Cd (V_Cd. The electron trap E1, found at E_c-0.178~eV, is considered to be correlated with the interstitial Cu_i⁼ in CdTe.     

Dynamics of charge transfer at Au/Si metal-semiconductor nano-interface

An ab initio analysis of the periodic array of Au/Si nanostructure composed of gold clusters linked to silicon quantum dot (QD) co-doped by aluminium and phosphorus along [111] direction is presented in this paper. The density functional theory (DFT) is used to compute the electronic structure of the simulated system. Non-adiabatic coupling implemented in the form of dissipative equation of motion for reduced density matrix is used to study the phonon-induced relaxation in the simulated system. The density of states clearly shows that the formation of Au–Si bonds contributes states to the band gap of the model. Dynamics of selected photo-excitations shows that hole relaxation in energy and in space is much faster than electron relaxation, which is due to the higher density of states of the valence band.

Preparation and Characterization of Styrene/Butyl Acrylate Emulsifier-Free Latex with 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl Propane Sulfonic Acid as a Reactive Emulsifier

A kind of emulsifier-free latex (FL) was successfully synthesized from styrene (St) and butyl acrylate (BA) with 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) as a reactive emulsifier. The particle size of latex particles, stability against electrolytes, minimum film forming temperature (MFT) and water contact angle (CA) were evaluated and compared with a conventional latex (CL). Test results show that FL has larger particle size, better stability against electrolytes and lower MFT value compared with CL; higher AMPS content leads to smaller particle size and smaller water CA.
