Since the discovery of ferroelectricity in HfO2-based materials which are comparable to the complementary metal-oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication process—a negative capacitance effect in the HfO2-based materials has been actively studied. Owing to nonuniform polarization-switching (which is originated from the polycrystalline structures of HfO2-based ferroelectric materials), the formation of multi-domains in the HfO2-based materials is inevitable. In previous studies, perovskite-based ferroelectric materials (which is not compatible to CMOS fabrication process) were utilized to improve the electrical properties of a nanoelectromechanical (NEM) relay. In this study, the effects of a multi-domain HfO2-based ferroelectric material on the electrical characteristics of an NEM relay were theoretically examined. Specifically, the number of domains, domain inhomogeneity and ferroelectric thickness of the multi-domain ferroelectric material were modulated and subsequently, its corresponding results were discussed. It was observed that the switching voltage variation was decreased with increasing the number of domains and decreasing domain inhomogeneity. In addition, the switching voltage was decreased with increasing ferroelectric thickness, owing to enhanced voltage amplification.

Trench Structure

Effects of junction profiles in bottom protection p-well (BPW) on electrical characteristics of 1.2 kV SiC trench-gate MOSFETs were investigated using simulation methods. Breakdown mechanisms of BPW in the device were also elucidated by energy-band diagram and electric-field distribution across trench-gate. Monte Carlo Al-implantation simulation on the trench structure for BPW formation was carried out with variations in peak depth (DBPW), concentration (NBPW), and thickness of SiO2 spacer (Tspacer) on trench sidewall. The SiC trench-gate MOSFETs with deep DBPW, high NBPW, and thin Tspacer are suitable for high drain voltage due to a shielded trench gate by BPW. However, specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) increased because of laterally penetrated Al into p-base and accumulation regions during ion implantation for BPW formation. In case of shallow DBPW, low NBPW, and thick Tspacer, however, the gate oxide at trench bottom corner is considerably vulnerable to the dielectric breakdown due to fully depleted BPW near trench bottom corner and electric-field crowding at gate oxide.

Interfacial Dislocations

We describe an investigation of the electrical properties of interfacial dislocations in strained layer heterostructures. We have been measuring both the structural and electrical characteristics of strained layer p-n junction diodes simultaneously in a transmission electron microscope, enabling us to correlate changes in the electrical characteristics of a device with the formation of dislocations.The presence of dislocations within an electronic device is known to degrade the device performance. This degradation is of increasing significance in the design and processing of novel strained layer devices which may require layer thicknesses above the critical thickness (hc), where it is energetically favourable for the layers to relax by the formation of misfit dislocations at the strained interfaces. In order to quantify how device performance is affected when relaxation occurs we have therefore been investigating the electrical properties of dislocations at the p-n junction in Si/GeSi diodes.

Semiconductor devices require metal contacts for efficient collection of electrical charge. The physics of these metal/semiconductor contacts assumes perfect, abrupt and continuous interfaces between the layers. However, in practice these layers are neither continuous nor abrupt due to poor nucleation conditions and the formation of interfacial layers. The effects of layer thickness, deposition rate and substrate stoichiometry have been previously reported. In this work we will compare the effects of a single deposition technique and multiple depositions on the morphology of indium layers grown on (100) CdTe substrates. The electrical characteristics and specific resistivities of the indium contacts were measured, and their relationships with indium layer morphologies were established.Semi-insulating (100) CdTe samples were cut from Bridgman grown single crystal ingots. The surface of the as-cut slices were mechanically polished using 5μm, 3μm, 1μm and 0,25μm diamond abrasive respectively. This was followed by two minutes immersion in a 5% bromine-methanol solution.

AbstractDrug contamination in water is one of the current fields of study. Since 1990, the presence of drugs in drinking water has been a concern to scientists and public. In Mexico, these organic compounds are not efficiently removed in wastewater treatment plants; therefore, alternative methodologies have been studied that allow these compounds to have a high percentage of degradation or be completely degraded. One example of these techniques is heterogeneous photocatalysis which has obtained positive results in the degradation of drugs using ZnO nanoparticles. These are commonly selected for their electrical characteristics, even though they disperse in water and an additional unit operation is required to separate them from the liquid medium. To eliminate drugs with nano particles in a single stage, polycaprolactone-based membranes with adhered ZnO nanoparticles, by means of electrospinning, were prepared to degrade drugs such as diclofenac. The technique used has shown to efficiently break down diclofenac in 4 hours according to the capillary electrophoresis readings.

ABSTRACTStructural and electrical characterization of laser recrystallized LPCVD silicon films on amorphous substrates using a shaped cw laser beam have been performed. In comparing the results to data obtained using a circular beam, it was found that a significant increase in grain size can be achieved and that the surface morphology of the shaped beam recrystallized material was much smoother. It was also found that whereas circular beam recrystallized material has a random grain structure, shaped beam material is highly oriented with a <100> texture. Finally the electrical characteristics of the recrystallized film were very good when measured in directions parallel to the grain boundaries.
