High-power/low-threshold type-II interband cascade mid-IR laser-design and modeling

We present an optimized design and detailed numerical simulations for a mid-IR type-II interband InGaSb QW cascade laser (T2ICL) with InAs-In/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/Sb active quantum wells. It is shown that a 15-period T2ICL operating at 300 K and emitting at 3.15 /spl mu/m should achieve a much higher differential quantum efficiency (maximum of 0.9 W/A per facet at 300 K) than conventional mid-IR bipolar injection lasers, and a threshold current density much lower than for the intersubband quantum cascade laser.

Composite Nanostructures of TiO2 and ZnO for Water Splitting Application: Atomic Layer Deposition Growth and Density Functional Theory Investigation

The commercialization of solar fuel devices requires the development of novel engineered photoelectrodes for water splitting applications which are based on redundant, cheap, and environmentally friendly materials. In the current study, a combination of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) onto nanotextured silicon is utilized for a composite electrode with the aim to overcome the individual shortcomings of the respective materials. The properties of conformal coverage of TiO₂ and ZnO layers are designed on the atomic scale by the atomic layer deposition technique. The resulting photoanode shows not only promising stability but also nine times higher photocurrents than an equivalent photoanode with a pure TiO₂ encapsulation onto the nanostructured silicon. Density functional theory calculations indicate that segregation of TiO₂ at the ZnO surfaces is favorable and leads to the stabilization of the ZnO layers in water environments. In conclusion, the novel designed composite material constitutes a promising base for a stable and effective photoanode for the water oxidation reaction.

文章提出了一种基于四叉树分割的小波域自适应水印方案。算法根据图像的纹理和细节通过四叉树分割将小波系数划分成大小不等的系数块,引入一个与系数块的性质有关的视觉加权因子,对小波域无损视觉量化模型进行了改进,提高了水印的嵌入强度;通过小波系数的量化选择,将水印信息嵌入到小波域的鲁棒性系数上,提高了水印对抗常规处理的能力。仿真实验结果证明该方案同时具有良好的鲁棒性和透明性。     

Interband Cascade Lasers with Wavelengths Spanning 2.9 μm to 5.2 μm

We report an experimental investigation of four interband cascade lasers with wavelengths spanning the mid-infrared spectral range, i.e., 2.9 μm to 5.2 μm, near room temperature in pulsed mode. One broad-area device had a pulsed threshold current density of only 3.8 A/cm² at 78 K (λ = 3.6 μm) and 590  A/cm² at 300 K (λ = 4.1 μm). The room-temperature threshold for the shortest-wavelength device (λ = 2.6 μm to 2.9 μm) was even lower, 450 A/cm². A␣cavity-length study of the lasers emitting at 3.6 μm to 4.1 μm yielded an internal loss varying from 7.8 cm⁻¹ at 78 K to 24 cm⁻¹ at 300 K, accompanied by a decrease of the internal efficiency from 77% to 45%.

A low-noise, low-power VCO with automatic amplitude control forwireless applications

Voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) used in portable wireless communications applications, such as cellular telephony, are required to achieve low phase-noise levels while consuming minimal power. This paper presents the design challenges of a VCO with automatic amplitude control, which operates in the 300 MHz to 1.2 GHz frequency range using different external resonators. The VCO phase noise level is -106 dBc/Hz at 100-KHz offset from an 800-MHz carrier, and it consumes 1.6 mA from a 2.7-V power supply. An extensive phase-noise analysis is employed for this VCO design in order to identify the most important noise sources in the circuit and to find the optimum tradeoff between noise performance and power consumption

Effective Work-Function Modulation by Aluminum-Ion Implantation for Metal-Gate Technology (Poly-Si/TiN/SiO2)

The impact of aluminum (Al) implantation into TiN/SiO₂ on the effective work function (EWF) of poly-Si/ TiN/SiO₂ is investigated. Al implanted at 5 keV with a dose of 5 times 10¹⁵ cm^-2 reduces the flatband voltage (V_FB) and the EWF of poly-Si/TiN/SiO₂ stack by ~150 mV compared with the unimplanted poly-Si/TiN/SiO₂ stack. This reduction of V_FB is found to be dose-dependent, which is correlated to the Al concentration at the TiN-SiO₂ interface as evidenced by secondary-ion-mass-spectrometry profiles. The interface dipole created due to the Al presence at the metal-dielectric interface is believed to contribute to the observed V_FB (or EWF) reduction (or increase). This technique for EWF modulation is promising for further threshold-voltage (V_t) tuning without any process complexities and is quite significant for planar and multiple gate field-effect transistors on fully depleted silicon on insulator.
