Investigation of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO films bandgap and Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO/ZnO heterojunctions band offset by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

A series of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO thin films have been fabricated on sapphire by pulsed-laser deposition(PLD), successfully. To investigate the effect of Cd concentration on structural and optical properties of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO films, x-ray diffraction(XRD),ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-vis), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) are employed to characterize the films in detail. The XRD pattern indicates that the Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO thin films have high single-orientation of the c axis. The energy bandgap values of ZnCdO thin films decrease from 3.26 eV to 2.98 eV with the increasing Cd concentration(x)according to the(αhν)~2–hν curve. Furthermore, the band offsets of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO/ZnO heterojunctions are determinated by XPS, indicating that a type-I alignment takes place at the interface and the value of band offset could be tuned by adjusting the Cd concentration.     

Interfacial p-n heterojunction of polyaniline-nickel ferrite nanocomposite as room temperature liquefied petroleum gas sensor

In this work, we introduce polyaniline–nickel ferrite (PANI-NF) nanostructured composite to detect liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at room temperature. The composite synthesized by relatively simple method of in-situ chemical polymerization was structurally characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The presence of characteristic absorption bands of both PANI and NF in the FTIR spectrum of the composite with small shifts confirmed interfacial interaction of PANI with NF. The XRD studies also confirmed interfacial interaction between PANI and NF in the composite and its crystalline nature with an average crystallite size of 20 nm. Highly agglomerated granular porous morphology favourable for LPG adsorption was revealed by SEM image of the composite. The TEM image of the composite clearly showed nanosized NF particles embedded in PANI matrix. The LPG sensing performance of the composite at room temperature was tested using a film prepared by depositing the composite on an ordinary glass substrate by cost-effective spin coating technique. The maximum sensing response of the composite was found to be 57% at 700 ppm of LPG, with a response time of 50 s and a recovery time of 200 s. The composite was found to be stable for a period of one month. The sensing mechanism has been discussed on the basis of formation of interfacial p–n heterojunction barrier.     

Collision-induced fragmentation and neutralization of methanol cluster cations

This contribution addresses the inelastic interaction of positively charged molecular cluster ions with a solid surface at kinetic energies up to 30 eV/molecule. We report experimental results on the scattering of mass-selected, protonated methanol cluster cations (CH₃OH)_nH⁺, n = 4-32, off a diamond-coated silicon surface. In particular we provide fragment size distributions of methanol cluster ions following their impact on the target, as well as surface-induced neutralization probabilities of methanol cluster ions as a function of the size and the kinetic energy of the parent clusters.

Thermal resistance matrix representation of thermal effects and thermal design in multi-finger power heterojunction bipolar transistors

The thermal resistance matrix including self-heating thermal resistance and thermal coupling resistance is presented to describe the thermal effects of multi-finger power heterojunction bipolar transistors. The dependence of thermal resistance matrix on finger spacing is also investigated. It is shown that both self-heating thermal resistance and thermal coupling resistance are lowered by increasing the finger spacing, in which the downward dissipated heat path is widened and the heat flow from adjacent fingers is effectively suppressed. The decrease of self-heating thermal resistance and thermal coupling resistance is helpful for improving the thermal stability of power devices. Furthermore, with the aid of the thermal resistance matrix, a 10-finger power heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with non-uniform finger spacing is designed for high thermal stability. The optimized structure can effectively lower the peak temperature while maintaining a uniformity of the temperature profile at various biases and thus the device effectively may operate at a higher power level.

新型宽温区高热稳定性微波功率SiGe 异质结双极晶体管

宽温区大电流下的热不稳定性严重制约着功率SiGe 异质结双极晶体管 (HBT) 在射频和微波电路中的应用.为改善器件的热不稳定性, 本文利用SILVACO TCAD建立的多指功率SiGe HBT模型, 分析了器件纵向结构中基区Ge组分分布对微波功率SiGe HBT电学特性和热学特性的影响. 研究表明, 对于基区Ge组分为阶梯分布的HBT, 由于Ge组分缓变引入了少子加速电场, 使它与均匀基区Ge组分HBT相比, 具有更高的特征频率f_T, 且电流增益β和f_T随温度变化变弱, 这有利于防止器件在宽温区工作时电学特性的漂移.同时, 器件整体温度有所降低, 但器件各指温度分布均匀性较差.考虑多指HBT各发射极指散热能力存在差异, 在器件纵向结构设计为基区Ge组分阶梯分布的同时, 对其横向版图进行发射极指间距渐变结构设计, 用于改善器件各指温度分布的均匀性, 进而提高HBT的热稳定性.结果表明, 与基区Ge组分为均匀分布的等发射极指间距结构HBT相比, 新器件各指温度分布均匀性明显改善, f_T保持了较高的值, 且β和f_T 随温度变化不敏感, 热不稳定性得到显著改善, 显示了新器件在宽温区大电流下工作的优越性. 关键词： SiGe 异质结双极晶体管 Ge组分分布 发射极指间距渐变技术 热稳定性     

双面HIT太阳电池TCO与非晶硅界面势垒的模拟优化

采用美国滨州大学研发的AMPS-1D软件,模拟了TCO与非晶硅界面势垒对TCO/a-Si:H(p+)/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si(n) /a-Si:H(i) /a-Si:H(n+) /TCO双面HIT异质结太阳电池光伏特性的影响。结果表明太阳电池的TCO/p+前接触界面势垒（对于电子）越高,越易形成欧姆接触,且电池的短波响应增强,使电池性能变好。模拟还发现,n+ /TCO背接触界面势垒（对于电子）越低,电池性能越好。若背场重掺杂,在背接触势垒小于等于0.5ev时,电池的转换效率不会受到背接触势垒的影响;若背场低掺杂,在背接触势垒很小的情况下,也能达到与重掺杂相同的转换效率。     

Laser diagnostics of nanoscale dielectric films on absorbing substrate by differential reflectivity and ellipsometry

The differential reflection characteristics for ultrathin inhomogeneous dielectric film on absorbing substrate are investigated in the long-wavelength approximation. The obtained first-order expressions for differential reflectivity and changes in the ellipsometric angles caused by ultrathin layer are of immediate interest to the solution of the inverse problem. The method to determine the averaged values (not the realistic profile) of refractive index for inhomogeneous nanometric films are shown. The novel possibilities for determining the dielectric constant and thickness of nanoscale homogeneous films by the differential ellipsometric and reflectivity measurements are developed, and a simple method to estimate whether the nanometric film is homogeneous or not is also discussed.

ZnSe及ZnSe/GaAs异质结构中压力导致的直接禁带向间接禁带的转变

用经验赝势方法计算了体ZnSe以及ZnSe/GaAs单异质结系统中ZnSe外延层г、X、L等特殊对称点导带底能量随压力的变化。结果表明，同Si、Ge、GaAs等半导体材料不同，ZnSe的X点导带底具有正的压力系数，但比г点的压力系数小，这是ZnSe材料以及ZnSe基异质结构材料发生直接禁带向间接禁带的转变时所需转变压力较大的根本原因。研究了ZnSe/GaAs异质结构中晶格失配造成的应变对外延层г、X、L对称点压力系数的影响，表明这种晶格失配造成的应变可以极大地减小ZnSe外延层材料由直接禁带向间接禁带的转变压力。
