Flatband and current-voltage instabilities in unstressed Al/Ta2O5-SiO2/Si structures were studied in details. It has been found that, after an initial run left on fresh samples, both C-V and J-V characteristics exhibit repeatable patterns. Precisely repeatable counterclockwise hysteresis-like loop in C-V characteristics occurs, while no significant hysteretic behaviour is observed in static J-V characteristics. The reduced instability in J-V characteristics is explained by mutual compensation of two opposite effects owing to the presence of trapped positive charges on slow traps in the interfacial SiO2-like layer: (i) flatband voltage shift and (ii) lowering of Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling barrier for holes injected from the Si substrate. Correct determination of equivalent oxide thickness and fast interface state densities requires using the C-V curves obtained during the runs right, because progressive trapping on slow states occurs during the runs left. Value of the oxide charge is to be determined using the value of the flatband voltage obtained from the run left (after an initial run right), since it corresponds to the state of empty slow traps.

A new method for the extraction of junction parameters from a description of the current–voltage characteristic is developed. A simulation is performed and a high accuracy is obtained for the determination of the singleexponential model parameters. The method is easy to implement in a control process for device characterization. An application, achieved to observe the degradation of the emitter–base junction of a bipolar transistor during an aging experiment, shows that the evolutions of the single exponential model parameters versus time introduce a means for degradation quantification.

A new method for extracting junction parameters of the single diode model is presented. A least squares method approach considers the deviation ∆V=f(I) between the experimental current-voltage (I-V) characteristic and a theoretical arbitrary characteristic. A specific case- the ∆V graph reducing to a straight line–is identified and the knowledge of the slope and of the intercept with the ordinate axis leads to the determination of the junction parameters. The method is applied to the characterization of the emitter-base junction of transistors and the results are discussed.

We applied room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy for the compositional engineering of a CH3NH3Pb(Cl,I)3 light harvester in an alloy-based perovskite solar cell. This spectroscopic characterization determines the optimal Cl concentration where the power conversion efficiency shows its maximum in a contactless and non-destructive manner. The PL quenching ratio evaluated from the comparative PL studies between the films grown on glass/ZrO2 and SnO2:F/TiO2 substrates exhibited its maximum at a Cl concentration of 10 mol%, which agrees with the Cl concentration determined from the current–voltage measurement-based device performance. We also discuss the possible reasons for the coincidence mentioned above regarding the charge extraction effect induced by Cl incorporation.
