Full textAbstract:
DC sources and reference voltage sources are widely used in various electronic devices: analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, DC amplifiers, sample-and-hold devices, stabilized voltage sources, and others. At the same time, the accuracy and temperature characteristics of the latter largely depend on the same characteristics of direct current and voltage sources, which are subject to stringent requirements. There are quite a lot of different approaches to the construction of reference voltage and current source circuits with thermal compensation. The most famous of them – with the use of thermally compensated zener diodes operating in reverse breakdown mode. However, devices based on them have a high power consumption and low efficiency and a high level of noise, and it is difficult to implement temperature drift compensation due to a wide spread of temperature characteristics. The so-called bandgap circuits are also widely used – transistor reference voltage sources, the value of the reference voltage of which is determined by the band gap of the semiconductor. The most famous of them are Vidlar’s bandgaps and Brokau’s bandgaps. The specificity of all bandgap circuits is the rigid binding of the output voltage to the band gap of the semiconductor. The article proposes an alternative approach to the construction of direct current and voltage sources, which consists in the use of circuits of two-pole direct current sources. A new approach to the construction of thermally stable reference current sources based on bipolar transistors using the band gap voltage of a semiconductor and current mirrors is proposed. The principles of operation of the circuits are described and the possibility of achieving thermal compensation is proved. Computer modelling of the static characteristics of the proposed reference current sources, in particular, the temperature drift of the currents, has been carried out. A new approach to the construction of thermally stable reference voltage sources based on bipolar transistors with the use of thermally stable reference current generators is proposed. Analytical expressions are obtained that describe operation of circuits of reference voltage sources according to the proposed approach. A method for increasing the loading capacity of these reference voltage sources is proposed.

Standard bulk CMOS technology targets operating temperatures of not more than 175°C. Silicon-on-insulator technologies are commonly used up to 250°C. In this work, we evaluate the limit for electronic circuit function realized in thin film SOI technologies for even higher temperatures. At Fraunhofer IMS, a versatile 1.0 μm SOI-CMOS process based on 200 mm wafers is available. It features three layers of tungsten metallization with excellent reliability concerning electromigration, as well as voltage-independent capacitors, various resistors, and single-poly-EEPROMs. We present a study of the temperature dependence of MOSFETs and basic circuits produced in this process. The electrical characteristics of an NMOSFET transistor and a PMOSFET transistor are studied up to 450°C. In a second step, we investigate the functionality of a ring oscillator (representing a digital circuit) and a band gap reference as an example of a simple analog component. The frequency and the current consumption of the ring oscillator, as well as the output voltage and the current of the band gap reference, are characterized up to 450°C. We find that the ring oscillator still oscillates at this high temperature with a frequency of about one third of the value at room temperature. The output voltage of the band gap reference is in the specified range (change < 3%) up to 250°C. The deviations above this temperature are analyzed and measures to improve the circuit are discussed. The acquired data provide an important foundation to extend the application of CMOS technology to its real maximum temperature limits.

In this paper we review a method to analyse the thermal effects in the design of CNTFET-based digital circuits, enhancing a compact model, already proposed by us, in which the temperature variation in the drain current equation and in energy band gap is considered. At first the impact of temperature variations on design parameters of CNTFET is shown, with particular reference to the output and trans-characteristics, the output resistance, the transconductance. Then, using ADS software, the effects of temperature variations in the design of some digital circuits, are illustrated and widely discussed, emphasizing that the reviewed procedure can easily be applied to any other circuit based on CNTFET.

Full textAbstract:
Monolithic GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT)-integrated circuits are a promising application of wide band-gap materials. To date, most GaN-based devices behave as NMOS-like transistors. As only NMOS GaN HEMT is currently commercially available, its control circuit requires special design if monolithic integration is desired. This article analyzes the schematics of a GaN-based comparator, and three comparator structures are compared through ADS simulation. The optimal structure with the bootstrapped technique is fabricated based on AlGaN/GaN Metal–Insulator–Semiconductor (MIS) HEMT with the recessed gate method. The comparator has excellent static characteristics when the reference voltage increases from 3 V to 8 V. Dynamic waveforms from 10 kHz to 1 MHz are also obtained. High-temperature tests from 25 °C to 250 °C are applied upon both DC and AC characteristics. The mechanisms of instability issues are explained under dynamic working condition. The results prove that the comparator can be used in the state-of-art mixed-signal circuits, demonstrating the potential for the monolithic all-GaN integrated circuits.

Automotive ICs work in wide ambient temperature range up to 150[Formula: see text]C. It is important to design an over temperature protection mechanism for the reliability of ICs and systems. A thermal protection module for the automotive ICs is reported in this paper. Dual channel detection and decision scheme was designed based on band gap voltage reference. Precision thermal protection point was set by serial resistors and the variations of power supply, temperature and the process were removed by the resistor ratio. The thermal protection module was implemented in CSMC 0.5 [Formula: see text] 60 V BCD process, incorporated in a CAN transceiver chip. The area of the module was about 0.02 mm2 and thus it was very compact and low cost to integrate in chips. The performance of the thermal protection parameters was measured in incubators. The thermal shutdown temperature was about 164.4[Formula: see text]C and the thermal recovery temperature was about 153[Formula: see text]C with hysteresis temperature of 10 K. Additionally, the thermal protection module showed good consistency with different chips.

A transistor-level circuit design of charge pump is introduced to drive the inertial device. The design is made of several big modules, including main charge pump module, band gap reference module, comparator module, oscillating module, control module, temperature protection module. A three-stage charge pump is applied to achieve 5 V to 18 V DC/DC conversion, and each stage uses the cross coupled charge pump circuit, taking body effect, threshold voltage drop and efficiency into account. Considering efficiency and power consumption, the band gap reference module adopts a self-biased op amp. To make the comparator transient response fast, the op amp cascades two inverters. The temperature protection module sets a maximum temperature to protect the charge pump. The control module is composed of a data selector, a two-phase non-overlap clock circuit and a frequency divider to optimize clock signal. Then simulations are given and the charge pump is analyzed, finally the efficiency of charge pump is calculated. Designed in CSMC 0.5um process, the charge pump has an efficiency of 87.63 percent, a 19.85V output voltage, a 100 mA output current, and 6.05mV ripple.

In this paper, a chopper instrumentation amplifier and a high-precision and low-noise CMOS band gap reference in a standard 0.5 [Formula: see text] CMOS technology for a tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR) sensor is presented. The noise characteristic of TMR sensor is an important factor in determining the performance of the sensor. In order to obtain a larger signal to noise ratio (SNR), the analog front-end chip ASIC weak signal readout circuit of the sensor includes the chopper instrumentation amplifier; the high-precision and low-noise CMOS band gap reference. In order to achieve the low noise, the chopping technique is applied in the first stage amplifier. The low-frequency flicker noise is modulated to high-frequency by chopping switch, so that the modulator has a better noise suppression performance at the low frequency.

Full textAbstract:
This work presents a new unit cell electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) design based on HoneyComb geometry (HCPBG). The new HCPBG takes a uniplanar geometry (UCPBG—uniplanar compact PBG) as a reference and follows similar design methods for defining geometric parameters. The new structure’s advantages consist of reduced occupied printed circuit board area and flexible rejection band properties. In addition, rotation and slight geometry modification in the HCPBG cell allow changing the profile of the attenuation frequency range. This paper also presents a reconfigurable unit cell HCPBG filter strategy, for which the resonance center frequency is shifted by changing the gap capacitance with the assistance of varactor diodes. The HCPBG filter and reconfiguration behavior is demonstrated through electromagnetic (EM) simulations over the FR1 band of the 5G communication network. Intelligent communication systems can use the reconfiguration feature to select the optimal operating frequency for maximum attenuation of unwanted or interfering signals, such as harmonics or intermodulation products.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTIn the conventional crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell with the intrinsic thin layer structure (the HIT solar cell), a p-doped thin film silicon or its alloy (pDTF-Si/A) is used as the hole collecting window layer. However, the parasitic absorbance in the pDTF-Si/A window layer, and the toxic, explosive diborane gas used for p-doping are limiting factors for achieving HIT cells with reduced processing costs and / or higher efficiencies. In this work, pDTF-Si/A is replaced by V2Ox, which is deposited by a simple physical vapor deposition technique. Due to the wide band gap of V2Ox, the HIT solar cell with the V2Ox window layer generates a higher short-circuit current density than the reference conventional HIT cell under 1 sun, and achieves an open-circuit voltage of 0.7 V. Furthermore, the charge carrier lifetime and pseudo-efficiency values of the HIT solar cell with the V2Ox window layer indicate that this cell has the potential to outperform the conventional HIT cell in terms of the power conversation efficiency under the standard test conditions.

This paper covers the development of a distributed high temperature electronics demonstrator for integration with sensor elements to provide digital outputs that can be used by the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Control) system or the EHMS (Engine Health Monitoring System) on an aircraft engine. This distributed electronics demonstrator eliminates the need for the FADEC or EHMS to process the sensor signal, which will assist in making the overall system more accurate and efficient in processing only digital signals. This will offer weight savings in cables, harnesses and connector pin reduction. The design concept was to take the output from several on-engine sensors, carry out the signal conditioning, multiplexing, analogue to digital conversion and data transmission through a serial data bus. The unit has to meet the environmental requirements of DO-160 with the need to operate at 200°C, with short term operation at temperatures up to 250°C. The work undertaken has been to design an ASIC based on 1.0μm Silicon on Insulator (SOI) device technology incorporating sensor signal conditioning electronics for sensors including resistance temperature probes, strain gauges, thermocouples, torque and frequency inputs. The ASIC contains analogue multiplexers, temperature stable voltage band-gap reference and bias circuits, ADC, BIST, core logic, DIN inputs and two parallel ARINC 429 serial databuses. The ASIC was tested and showed to be functional up to a maximum temperature of 275°C. The ASIC has been integrated with other high temperature components including voltage regulators, a crystal oscillator, precision resistors, silicon capacitors within a hermetic hybrid package. The hybrid circuit has been assembled within a stainless steel enclosure with high temperature connectors. The high temperature electronics demonstrator has been shown to operate from −40°C to +250°C.

Lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskites have emerged as a promising, non-toxic, and eco-friendly photovoltaic material with high structural stability and a long lifetime of carrier recombination. However, the poor-light harvesting capability of lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskites due to the large indirect band gap is a critical factor restricting the improvement of its power conversion efficiency, and little information is available about it. Therefore, this study focused on the plasmonic approach, embedded metallic nanospheres in Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite solar cells, and quantitatively investigated their light-harvesting capability via finite-difference time-domain method. Gold and palladium were selected as metallic nanospheres and embedded in a 600 nm thick-Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite layer-based solar cell. Performances, including short-circuit current density, were calculated by tuning the radius of metallic nanospheres. Compared to the reference devices with a short-circuit current density of 14.23 mA/cm2, when a gold metallic nanosphere with a radius of 140 nm was embedded, the maximum current density was improved by about 1.6 times to 22.8 mA/cm2. On the other hand, when a palladium metallic nanosphere with the same radius was embedded, the maximum current density was improved by about 1.8 times to 25.8 mA/cm2.

Abstract. In this work an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for an implantable electrochemical biosensor system (SMART implant, Stett et al., 2014) is presented. The ASIC drives the measurement electrodes and performs amperometric measurements for determining the oxygen concentration, potentiometric measurements for evaluating the pH-level as well as temperature measurements. A 10-bit pipeline analog to digital (ADC) is used to digitize the acquired analog samples and is implemented as a single stage to reduce power consumption and chip area. For pH measurements, an offset subtraction technique is employed to raise the resolution to 12-bits. Charge integration is utilized for oxygen and temperature measurements with the capability to cover current ranges between 30 nA and 1 μA. In order to achieve good performance over a wide range of supply and process variations, internal reference voltages are generated from a programmable band-gap regulated circuit and biasing currents are supplied from a wide-range bootstrap current reference. To accommodate the limited available electrical power, all components are designed for low power operation. Also a sequential operation approach is applied, in which essential circuit building blocks are time multiplexed between different measurement types. All measurement sequences and parameters are programmable and can be adjusted for different tissues and media. The chip communicates with external unites through a full duplex two-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), which receives operational instructions and at the same time outputs the internally stored measurement data. The circuit has been fabricated in a standard 0.5-μm CMOS process and operates on a supply as low as 2.7 V. Measurement results show good performance and agree with circuit simulation. It consumes a maximum of 500 μA DC current and is clocked between 500 kHz and 4 MHz according to the measurement parameters. Measurement results of the on-chip ADC show a Differential Non Linearity (DNL) lower than 0.5 LSB, an Integral Non Linearity (INL) lower than 1 LSB and a Figure of Merit (FOM) of 6 pJ/conversion.

In this study, asymmetric zinc phthalocyanine compounds with Donor-π-Anchor (D-π-A) property that enable the movement of electrons in molecular structure in one direction were synthesized. Phthalocyanines were designed to ensure electron mobility within the molecule and to facilitate the transfer of electrons to the TiO2 layer. The synthesized asymmetric zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPc-1 and ZnPc-2) are molecules with three donor biphenyls and one anchor aldehyde group and three acceptor/anchor cyano and one anchor aldehyde group, respectively. The effect of biphenyl and cyano groups on cell efficiency with aldehyde anchor group was investigated. The structure of the synthesized phthalocyanines was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), Mass Spectrometry (MS), UV-vis, Fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimentally calculated optical band gap values were supported by the values found by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. dye sensitive solar cells were measured and the efficiencies were evaluated with reference to the N719 standard dye. In the solar cell measurements of the designed phthalocyanines, the structure containing the cyano group has been given a higher photovoltaic cell thanks to the higher short circuit photo-current (Jsc). In this way, the highest power conversion efficiency value was achieved among the cyano group molecules.

Full textAbstract:
Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) has emerged as a leading wide band gap semiconductor for high-power, high-temperature applications1. 4H-SiC metal-oxide semiconductor-field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have lower power dissipation compared to silicon, allowing for low-noise and high-efficiency all-electric vehicle drives, fast-charging stations, solar inverters, and more. While these devices provide substantial advancements for next-generation energy efficient power systems, 4H-SiC may also offer additional functionality in the form of integrated circuits (ICs) at high temperatures (>300 °C). Because of its high noise immunity and low static power consumption, lateral complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) IC technology in 4H-SiC is desirable for large-scale integration2. This technology necessitates the use of both n- and p-channel MOSFETs that can operate at high temperatures. Despite the advances of 4H-SiC MOSFETs, the high density of interface states (Dit) at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface prevents reaching full potential resulting in high channel resistance and low mobility. Alternatives to nitric oxide (NO) annealing, the most common method adopted to reduce Dit in 4H-SiC3,4, are actively sought due to its toxicity and relatively expensive cost. Annealing in pure nitrogen (N2)5,6 at high temperatures (1400 °C-1600 °C) has been recently demonstrated promising results for 4H-SiC MOSFET processing. In this work, we report Dit measurements consistent with [6] and attempt to correlate the nitrogen areal densities of the near interfacial regions with the Dit for high temperature N2 annealing processes compared to NO. In our study, metal oxide semiconductor capacitors were fabricated on p- and n-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers. Gate oxides were thermally grown at 1150 °C for 10 h in dry O2 resulting in a ~ 60 nm thick oxide layer. Selected samples are then annealed in flowing N2 at high temperatures (1400 °C, 1 h; 1450 °C, 1 h; and 1500 °C, 30 minutes or 1 h) or NO (1175 °C, 2 h). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), carried out after etching the oxide, indicates that the amount of nitrogen at the interface due to high temperature N2 annealing is ~ 4 × higher than NO annealed devices. Simultaneous high frequency (100 kHz)- low frequency CV was performed to extract interface trap densities (Dit) for each process and compared at room temperature (27 °C) with reference 1175 °C, 2 h NO annealed samples. The comparison reveals that, N2 annealing at 1500 °C for 30 minutes with a flow rate of 3 LPM results in Dit values comparable to NO annealing across the bandgap. Moreover, nitrogen annealing is more effective in reducing Dit near the valence band than NO annealing, while the opposite is true close to the conduction band-edge, consistent with previous reports [6] and observed in atomistic models of these interfaces using the density functional theory7. Nitrogen annealing also decreases the positive fixed charges at the interface of p-type 4H-SiC and SiO2, as evidenced from the flat band voltage comparison. The oxide breakdown voltage for the devices made with 1500 °C N2 annealing was similar to that of NO annealed devices. XPS analysis of the N2 annealed devices, their behavior under high temperature and bias, and their potential to substitute NO will be further discussed.

The long-term trend in automobiles has been increasing electronics content over time. This trend is expected to continue and drives diverse functional, form factor, and reliability requirements. These requirements, in turn, are leading to changes in the package types selected and the performance specifications of the packages used for automotive electronics. Several examples will be given. This abstract covers the development of a distributed high temperature electronics demonstrator for integration with sensor elements to provide digital outputs that can be used by the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Control) system or the EHMS (Engine Health Monitoring System) on an aircraft engine. This distributed electronics demonstrator eliminates the need for the FADEC or EHMS to process the sensor signal, which will assist in making the overall system more accurate and efficient in processing only digital signals. This will offer weight savings in cables, harnesses and connector pin reduction. The design concept was to take the output from several on-engine sensors, carry out the signal conditioning, multiplexing, analogue to digital conversion and data transmission through a serial data bus. The unit has to meet the environmental requirements of DO-160 with the need to operate at 200°C, with short term operation at temperatures up to 250°C. The work undertaken has been to design an ASIC based on 1.0 μm Silicon on Insulator (SOI) device technology incorporating sensor signal conditioning electronics for sensors including resistance temperature probes, strain gauges, thermocouples, torque and frequency inputs. The ASIC contains analogue multiplexers, temperature stable voltage band-gap reference and bias circuits, ADC, BIST, core logic, DIN inputs and two parallel ARINC 429 serial databuses. The ASIC was tested and showed to be functional up to a maximum temperature of 275°C. The ASIC has been integrated with other high temperature components including voltage regulators, a crystal oscillator, precision resistors, silicon capacitors within a hermetic hybrid package. The hybrid circuit has been assembled within a stainless steel enclosure with high temperature connectors. The high temperature electronics demonstrator has been demonstrated operating from −40°C to +250°C. This work has been carried out under the EU Clean Sky HIGHTECS project with the Project being led by Turbomeca (Fr) and carried out by GE Aviation Systems (UK), GE Research – Munich (D) and Oxford University (UK).

Full textAbstract:
A battery management system (BMS) plays an important role in electric vehicles (EVs) in order to achieve a reasonable-lasting lifetime. An equalizing method is essential in order to obtain the best performance. A monitoring system is required to check if any cell voltage is high or low. In this paper, an equalizing and monitoring system for an ultra-light electric vehicle is proposed. The monitoring system detects if one cell is fully charged or all cells are fully charged and the equalizing system tops each cell at the desired voltage. To solve this issue, a light-emitting diode (LED) band gap is used as a voltage reference to inform the user if any cell is at its high voltage. A smart monitoring displays on the liquid crystal display (LCD), if one cell is high or all cells are high. This detection also provides a signal to the microcontroller to turn on/off the charger if all cells are high. Also, a Bluetooth module was designed to command the microcontroller the charger to turn on/off via voice/text message by using a smartphone. Additionally, a new smart monitoring system based on the Bluetooth model (HC05) and mobile app has been made in order to monitor individual cell voltage. A major feature of the system is to draw a very-low current, so that the system does not contribute significantly to the self-discharge of the battery and the circuit does not need sophisticated control. Manufacturers of large electric vehicles may have more intelligent systems that may require a permanent connection to the grid and allow high standby losses, where more state of charge (SOC) may be lost per day. The paper is rather focused on reducing the standby losses, and to activate the equalizer only when charging and/or driving. The experimental results are performed in order to verify the feasibility of the proposed circuit.

Full textAbstract:
A tube-type piezoelectric phononic crystal model is proposed to study interaction between locally resonant and Bragg band gaps, which is arrayed periodically by metal and piezoelectric segments. Each piezoelectric segment consists of a shell with series-connected and opposite directions polarized double layers and a resonant shunting circuit. According to the interaction between Bragg scattering and local electromagnetic oscillation, three regions corresponding to the inductance can be divided as follows: quasi-short circuits region, coupling region, and quasi-open circuits region. Some interesting phenomena are found from the coupling between Bragg scattering and locally resonant of electromagnetic oscillation. (1) In the coupling region, a pass band splits a Bragg band gap into two band gaps. But the cut-off frequency of the second band gap does not change with the inductance. (2) In the quasi-open circuits region, Bragg and locally resonant band gaps exist independently. (3) The first band gap transits from Bragg scattering to local resonance when the inductance increases from quasi-short circuits region to quasi-open circuits region. (4) The cut-off frequency of the first band gap is always less than the estimated resonant frequency of inductor-capacitor oscillators. Finally, the theoretical result is validated by two kinds of finite element models based on ANSYS.

The use of solar energy as an energy vector has been a subject of great interest and study in recent years, showing vast improvements in the efficiencies associated with the conversion to electrical energy. This interest has extended to various applications, among which the production of green hydrogen from the decomposition of water and in environmental remediation processes stand out. The main motivation in focusing the use of solar energy in photoelectrocatalytic degradation processes is the negative impact that the disposal of colored water has on the different effluents, causing a deterioration of the quality of these ecosystems and the death of many forms of life. In this sense, the application of semiconductors based on zinc oxide (ZnO) supported on FTO conductive glass was studied for the treatment of wastewater from the textile industry, contaminated with reactive red azo dye 239. The main motivation in focusing the use of solar energy in photoelectrocatalytic degradation processes is the negative impact that the disposal of colored water effluents has on the different ecosystems, causing a deterioration of the quality of these ecosystems and the death of many forms of life. In this sense, the application of semiconductors based on zinc oxide (ZnO) supported on FTO was studied for the treatment of wastewater from the textile industry, contaminated with reactive red azo dye 239. In the present writing, a process for the synthesis of a ZnO-based semiconductor was defined. This precedence was performed directly on the substrate of 15x15x1.1mm FTO conductive glass plates. Prior to the synthesis process, a pretreatment of the glass is performed. The pretreatment of the plates consists of washing with neutral soap, then immersion in 0.01 M nitric acid (HNO3) for 10 minutes, and finally, cleaning with deionized water in ultrasound for 10 minutes. The synthesis of the nanostructured ZnO was performed in two steps. First, a chronoamperometric electrodeposition of the ZnO seeds on the substrate at a fixed potential of -1.38 V vs. Ag/AgCl as reference, and a platinum electrode as counter electrode, was performed at 70ºC for 200 seconds with a Gamry® Interface 1000 potentiostat, then subjected to a heating period at 400ºC for 2 hours. After electronucleation of the seeds and heat treatment, an additional step is carried out, which is the chemical growth of ZnO, waiting for the formation of ZnO nanorods in the (100), (002) and (101) planes typical of the wurtzite structure, this is done in a zinc nitrate solution at 90ºC, pH > 13.5, for 75 minutes. In the semiconductor characterization, different electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic linear scanning were evaluated. At the same time, the response of the photoanode to illumination with a 350 W xenon arc lamp was studied, showing the remarkable effect of light on the generation of charge carriers, decreasing recombination, and increasing photocurrents. On the other hand, the density of charge carriers in the semiconductor was evaluated and defined, as well as the position of the valence and conduction bands and their respective band gap. The charge carrier density was determined from Mott-Schottky, finding densities of 6.25x1021 and 3.72x1021 carriers/cm3, for frequencies of 500 and 1000 Hz, respectively. In parallel, the flat band potential, which under certain circumstances of charge carrier density can approximate the conduction band potential, was evaluated. This was estimated from three methods, Mott-Schottky (500 and 1000 Hz), photocurrent onset potential and open circuit potential, finding values of -0.086 and -0.124 (at 500 and 1000 Hz), -0.121 and -0.161 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. The determination of the bad gap was performed from UV-VIS, obtaining a value of 3.13 eV. Finally, the discoloration of the solution was evaluated from UV-VIS measurements. This analysis was performed on a problem solution that resembles the concentration of dye and salts of a textile industry effluent. A ZnO electrode was used, with a defined working area of 1.30 cm2, and a dye volume of 25 mL. The experiment was carried out for a time period of 4 hours, and an applied potential of 1 V vs. Ag/AgCl/Cl- 3M, reaching a decolorization of 23.2% of the initial solution.

We manipulate the source distance, emission position and number of negative-index collimation beam in a two-dimensional hybrid sonic crystal by using band-gap waveguide to control the flow of acoustic waves from a point source. The desired beam manipulations can be achieved at many different frequencies by suitably selecting the first order resonant mode of two crystal components and the waveguide structures. These results have potential applications in acoustic mutifunctional directional emission and acoustic integrated circuits. The proposed approach is also applicable for the similar manipulations of other types of acoustic collimation beams.

Full textAbstract:
Cross-shape piezoelectric patches were originally proposed to improve the band-gap properties of acoustic metamaterials with shunting circuits. The dispersion curves are characterized through the application of finite element method. Also, the theoretical band-gap predictions are verified by simulation results obtained from COMSOL. The investigation results show that the proposed scheme distinguishes itself from the conventional square patches by broader band gaps, whose bandwidth is almost doubled. The inherent capacitance of the piezoelectric patch is strongly related to the boundary conditions, so the local resonant band gap is strongly affected by the shape of piezoelectric patches as well. As a result, the band-gap width and location of metamaterials with different shape patches are rather different, even with the same size patches. Also, negative modulus (NM) and Poisson’s ratio were observed around the resonant frequencies. The transmission properties of finite periods agree well with band-gap predictions. An obvious attenuation zone (AZ) is produced around the band-gap location, in which the wave propagation is decayed strongly. Similarly, the width of AZ of the proposed metamaterial is much larger than that of the conventional one. Hence, the proposed scheme demonstrates more advantages in the application to vibration isolation when compared with the conventional.

Full textAbstract:
Wide band gap semiconductors, mainly GaN, have experienced much attention due to their application in photonic devices and high-power or high-temperature electronic devices. Especially the synthesis of InxGa1-xN alloys has been studied extensively because of their use in LEDs and laser diodes. Here, In is added during the growth process and devices are already very successful on a commercial scale. Indium in nitride ternary and quaternary alloys plays a special role; however, the mechanisms leading to more efficient light emission in In-containing nitrides are still under debate. Therefore, the behaviour of In in GaN and AlN, the nitride semiconductor with the largest bandgap is an important field of study. In is also an important impurity in another wide band gap semiconductor – the II-VI compound ZnO where it acts as an n-type dopant. In this context the perturbed angular correlation technique using implantation of the probe111In is a unique tool to study the immediate lattice environment of In in the wurtzite lattice of these wide band gap semiconductors. For the production of GaN and ZnO based electronic circuits one would normally apply the ion implantation technique, which is the most widely used method for selective area doping of semiconductors like Si and GaAs. However, this technique suffers from the fact that it invariably produces severe lattice damage in the implanted region, which in nitride semiconductors has been found to be very difficult to recover by annealing. The perturbed angular correlation technique is employed to monitor the damage recovery around implanted atoms and the properties of hitherto known impurity – defect complexes will be described and compared to proposed structure models.

AbstractReducing supply voltage is a promising way to address the power dissipation in nano-electronic circuits. However, the fundamental lower limit of subthreshold slope (SS) within metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is a major obstacle to further scaling the operation voltage without degrading ON/OFF ratio in current integrated circuits. Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) benefit from steep switching characteristics due to the quantum-mechanical tunneling injection of carriers from source to channel, rather than by conventional thermionic emission in MOSFETs. TFETs based on group III-V compound semiconductor materials further improve the ON-state current and reduce SS due to the low band gap energies and smaller carrier tunneling mass. The mixed arsenide/antimonide (As/Sb) InxGa1-xAs/GaAsySb1-y heterostructures allow a wide range of band gap energies and various staggered band alignments depending on the alloy compositions in the source and channel materials. Band alignments at source/channel heterointerface can be well modulated by carefully controlling the compositions of the mixed As/Sb material system. In particular, this review introduces and summarizes the progress in the development and optimization of low-power TFETs using mixed As/Sb based heterostructures including basic working principles, design considerations, material growth, interface engineering, material characterization, device fabrication, device performance investigation, band alignment determination, and high temperature reliability. A review of TFETs using mixed As/Sb based heterostructures shows superior structural properties and distinguished device performance, both of which indicate the mixed As/Sb staggered gap TFET as a promising option for high-performance, low-standby power, and energy-efficient logic circuit application.

Application of electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure and its use in the design of antenna and microwave integrated circuits is becoming more attractive. The recent electromagnetic band-gap structure method is capturing more importance in antenna design due to its uniqueness properties to suppress the propagation of surface waves in microstrip patch antenna. In this paper a square microstrip antenna is designed and its performance parameters are compared with geometry designed on EBG structure. The square antenna of 29 mm x29 mm size is designed at 2.455 GHz and analysis is done using IE3D simulation software. The proposed work mainly focuses on modification of antenna using electronic band gap structure (EBG). The antenna parameters such as Return loss, VSWR, Gain and Bandwidth, with and without EBG are obtained using IE3D simulation tool. The Electromagnetic band-gap structures have been used to improve the performance of the gain of the antennas and radiation patterns. One of the main advantages of electromagnetic band-gap structure is its ability to suppress the surface wave current present on the microstrip antenna. Combining the square patch with EBG structure, the bandwidth of the antenna has been increased by 34.66%, and attained gain of 44.44% at resonant frequency around 2.4 GHz as compared to the antenna without EBG..

In this paper, the design of optimized emitter coupled logic technology circuits using 4H-SiC bipolar transistors is presented. The circuits work over a wide range of temperatures and power supply voltages at high speeds, demonstrating the potential of robust high speed ECL integrated circuits in SiC for small-scale logic applications.

We show that it is possible to construct foam-based heterostructures with complete photonic band gaps. Three-dimensional foams are promising candidates for the self-organization of large photonic networks with combinations of physical characteristics that may be useful for applications. The largest band gap found is based on 3D Weaire–Phelan foam, a structure that was originally introduced as a solution to the Kelvin problem of finding the 3D tessellation composed of equal-volume cells that has the least surface area. The photonic band gap has a maximal size of 16.9% (at a volume fraction of 21.6% for a dielectric contrast ε=13) and a high degree of isotropy, properties that are advantageous in designing photonic waveguides and circuits. We also present results for 2 other foam-based heterostructures based on Kelvin and C15 foams that have somewhat smaller but still significant band gaps.

Then, the frequency transfer functions of finite-length manufactured and finite element models are obtained to verify the band gap characteristics of periodic DwGs. Finally, the effects of material parameters and structural forms on band gap characteristics and transfer functions are analyzed, which can provide a reference for engineering structure vibration and noise reduction design.

For larger attenuation within the band gaps, the shunting circuit parameters are optimized with a genetic algorithm. The result shows that the structure with the optimized parameters provides prominent vibration control ability. Both the attenuation constant and the width of the band gaps are enlarged.

Optical nonlinearity and feedback through Bragg periodicity are the basic ingredients for light localization into gap solitons. We review the basic concepts and model equations for gap solitons in Kerr and quadratic nonlinear media encompassing a one-dimensional Bragg resonance. With specific regard to frequency doubling media, we generalize the concept of a photonic crystal to band-gaps of a nonlinear origin, and finally address the slow character of quadratic gap-solitons with reference to their excitation.

Full textAbstract:
The valence band (VB) photoemission supported by ultraviolet–visible–near infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to determine the band gap values of polycrystalline Si and Ge single layers as well as of Si/Ge multilayer structures. The band gap values obtained from VB photoemission measurements for these structures were found to be much larger than their corresponding bulks and to match well with those determined from standard optical absorption measurements. In each case, the VB offset values were obtained by considering the corresponding VB maximum as a reference. The increase in band gap in case of thin single layers of Si and Ge with respect to bulks were interpreted in terms of quantum confinement effect, while in case of multilayer sample, the effect of various factors such as (i) intermixing leading to the formation of SiGe alloy, (ii) roughness at the interface, (iii) particle size, and (iv) strain seem to play an important role in the observed change in band gap.

To study the geometrical and electronic structure of 15R-SiC polytypes, the lattice parameter, band structure, density of states (DOS) and charge density of 15R-SiC are calculated by using density functional theory based on the plane wave pseudopotential approach, and electronic structure and ground properties of 15R-SiC are investigated by the calculated band structure and DOS, the results show that 15R-SiC is an indirect band gap semiconductor, with calculated indirect band gap width being 2.16 eV and band gap dependent on Si 3p and C 2p states. While charge density results show that Si-C bond is a hybrid bond semiconductor strong in covalent bond and weak in ionicity, characterized by intense sp3 hybrid characteristics, which is in accordance with the experimental results. The above mentioned results are considered as theoretical reference for design and application of SiC polytype materials.

Topological circuits, an exciting field just emerged over the last two years, have become a very accessible platform for realizing and exploring topological physics, with many of their physical phenomena and potential applications as yet to be discovered. In this work, we design and experimentally demonstrate a topologically nontrivial band structure and the associated topologically protected edge states in an RF circuit, which is composed of a collection of grounded capacitors connected by alternating inductors in the x and y directions, in analogy to the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model. We take full control of the topological invariant (i.e., Zak phase) as well as the gap width of the band structure by simply tuning the circuit parameters. Excellent agreement is found between the experimental and simulation results, both showing obvious nontrivial edge state that is tightly bound to the circuit boundaries with extreme robustness against various types of defects. The demonstration of topological properties in circuits provides a convenient and flexible platform for studying topological materials and the possibility for developing flexible circuits with highly robust circuit performance.
