Simultaneous Formation of Ohmic Contacts on p +- and n +-4H-SiC Using a Ti/Ni Bilayer

In this work, Ti/Ni bilayer contacts were fabricated on both p ⁺- and n ⁺-4H-SiC formed by ion implantation, and the effects of the Ti interlayer on the contact resistance and interfacial microstructure were studied. Adoption of a thin (10 nm) Ti interlayer resulted in specific contact resistance of 4.8 μΩ cm² and 1.3 mΩ cm² on n ⁺- and p ⁺-4H-SiC, respectively, comparable to the values for contacts using only Ni. Moreover, contacts using Ti/Ni provide a flat and uniform interface between Ni₂Si and SiC, whereas discontinuous, agglomerated Ni₂Si islands are formed without the use of a Ti interlayer. In addition, the Ti interlayer was demonstrated to effectively dissociate the thin oxide film on SiC, which is advantageous for low-resistance, reliable ohmic contact formation. In summary, use of a Ti/Ni bilayer is a promising solution for one-step formation of ohmic contacts on both p ⁺- and n ⁺-4H-SiC, being especially suitable for SiC n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (nMOSFET) fabrication.     

Non-functionalized soluble diketopyrrolopyrrole: Simplest p-channel core for organic field-effect transistors

We report the synthesis, characterization and behavior in field-effect transistors of non-functionalized soluble diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) core with only a solubilizing alkyl chain (i.e. –C₁₆H₃₃ or –C₁₈H₃₇) as the simplest p-channel semiconductor. The characteristics were evaluated by UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry (CV), thermal analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. For top-contact field-effect transistors, two types of active layers were prepared either by a solution process (as a 1D-microwire) or thermal vacuum deposition (as a thin-film) on a cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol) gate dielectric. All the devices showed typical p-channel behavior with dominant hole transports. The device made with 1D-microwiress of DPP-R18 showed field-effect mobility in the saturation region of 1.42 × 10^?2 cm²/V s with I_ON/I_OFF of 1.82 × 10³. These findings suggest that the non-functionalized soluble DPP core itself without any further functionalization could also be used as a p-channel semiconductor for low-cost organic electronic devices.     

Scalable Model of On-Wafer Interconnects for High-Speed CMOS ICs

This paper describes the development of an equivalent circuit model of on-wafer interconnects for high-speed CMOS integrated circuits. By strategically cascading two-pi blocks together, the lumped model can characterize the distributed effects. Besides, the elaborately proposed model characterizes the frequency-variant characteristics with frequency-independent components. Thus, the model can be easily plugged into commercial computer-aided design tools. By adopting a newly invented optimization algorithm, namely, particle swarm optimization (PSO), the model parameters are extracted and formulated as empirical expressions. Therein, with each set of the geometrical parameters, the interconnect behaviors can be accurately predicted. The accuracy of the model is validated by comparisons with the on-wafer measurements up to 30 GHz. Moreover, the scalability of the proposed model is also discussed     

Luminescence,charge mobility,and optical waveguiding of two-dimensional organic rubrene nanosheets: Comparison with one-dimensional nanorods

Intrinsic characteristics of organic and inorganic nanostructures depend on their physical dimensions (i.e., size and shape) and crystallinity. Here, we compared the nanoscale optical and electrical properties of organic rubrene one-dimensional (1-D) nanorods (NRs) and two-dimensional (2-D) nanosheets (NSs). From high-resolution laser confocal microscope photoluminescence (PL) measurements, the light-emission characteristics of 2-D rubrene NSs varied with the crystalline domain direction, indicating intrinsic PL anisotropy, which was distinguishable from 1-D rubrene single NRs, because of anisotropy π–π stacking molecular arrangements. We also observed the variation of charge carrier mobility depending on the measured directions (i.e., anisotropy of charge transport) in rubrene NS-based field-effect transistors. The optical waveguiding properties of rubrene nanostructures were strongly correlated to the dimensionality of materials and PL anisotropy.     

Strain‐Visualization with Ultrasensitive Nanoscale Crack‐Based Sensor Assembled with Hierarchical Thermochromic Membrane

As eidetic signal recognition has become important, displaying mechanical signals visually has imposed huge demands for simple readability and without complex signal processing. Such visualization of mechanical signals is used in delicate urgent medical or safety‐related industries. Accordingly, chromic materials are considered to facilitate visualization with multiple colors and simple process. However, the response and recovery time is very long, such that rapid regular signals are unable to be detected, i.e., physiological signals, such as respiration. Here, the simple visualization of low strain ≈2%, with ultrasensitive crack‐based strain sensors with a hierarchical thermochromic layer is suggested. The sensor shows a gradient color change from red to white color in each strain, which is attributed to the hierarchical property, and the thermal response (recovery) time is dramatically minimized within 0.6 s from 45 to 37 °C, as the hierarchical membrane is inspired by termite mounds for efficient thermal management. The fast recovery property can be taken advantage of in medical fields, such as monitoring regular respiration, and the color changes can be delicately monitored with high accuracy by software on a mobile phone.     

A general expression of dyadic Green's functions in radiallymultilayered chiral media

A general expression of spectral-domain dyadic Green's function (DGF) is presented for defining the electromagnetic radiation fields in spherically arbitrary multilayered and chiral media. Without any loss of the generality, each of the radial multilayers could be the chiral layer with different permittivity, permeability, and chirality admittance, while both distribution and location of current sources are assumed to be arbitrary. The DGF is composed of the unbounded DGF and the scattering DGF, based on the method of scattering superposition. The scattering DGF in each layer is constructed in terms of the modified and normalized spherical vector wave functions. The coefficients of the scattering DGFs are derived and expressed in terms of the equivalent reflection and transmission coefficients, by applying boundary conditions satisfied by the coefficient matrices     

Trisneopentylgallium as a precursor for atomic layer epitaxy of GaAs

We report the use of a new precursor, trisneopentylgallium (NPG) for the growth of GaAs by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE). In contrast to most other alkyl gallium precursors such as triethylgallium, which decompose via a β-hydride elimination mechanism, this compound undergoes homolysis similar to that of trimethylgallium (TMGa), the normal choice as an ALE precursor. Clear self-limiting growth behavior similar to that of TMGa was observed over a reasonably wide range of growth conditions (430–500°C). Carbon incorporation was not significantly reduced compared with TMGa suggesting that the adsorbed neopentyl radicals undergo decomposition to result in a methyl terminated surface identical to that obtained for growth with TMGa.
