Despite the long history of research that has focused on the role of defects on device performance, the studies have not always been fruitful. A major reason is because these defect studies have typically been conducted in a parallel mode wherein the semiconductor wafer was divided into multiple pieces for separate optical and structural characterization, as well as device fabrication and evaluation. The major limitation of this approach was that either the defect being investigated by structural characterization techniques was not the same defect that was affecting the device performance or else the defect was not characterized under normal device operating conditions. In this review, we describe a more comprehensive approach to defect study, namely a series mode, using an array of spatially-resolved optical, electrical, and structural characterization techniques, all at the individual defect level but applied sequentially on a fabricated device. This novel sequential approach enables definitive answers to key questions, such as: (i) how do individual defects affect device performance? (ii) how does the impact depend on the device operation conditions? (iii) how does the impact vary from one defect to another? Implementation of this different approach is illustrated by the study of individual threading dislocation defects in GaAs solar cells. Additionally, we briefly describe a 3-D Raman thermometry method that can also be used for investigating the roles of defects in high power devices and device failure mechanisms. 相似文献
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted considerable interest thanks to their unique electronic/physical–chemical characteristics and their potential for use in a large variety of sensing applications. However, few-layered nanosheets tend to agglomerate owing to van der Waals forces, which obstruct internal nanoscale transport channels, resulting in low electrochemical activity and restricting their use for sensing purposes. Here, a hybrid MXene/rGO aerogel with a three-dimensional (3D) interlocked network was fabricated via a freeze-drying method. The porous MXene/rGO aerogel has a lightweight and hierarchical porous architecture, which can be compressed and expanded several times without breaking. Additionally, a flexible pressure sensor that uses the aerogel as the sensitive layer has a wide response range of approximately 0–40 kPa and a considerable response within this range, averaging approximately 61.49 kPa–1. The excellent sensing performance endows it with a broad range of applications, including human-computer interfaces and human health monitoring. 相似文献
为探究浓缩还原(From concentrate,FC)和非浓缩还原(Not from concentrate,NFC)杨梅汁成分的差异,本文借助超高效液相色谱-四极杆飞行时间质谱的代谢组学技术分析二者的代谢产物。通过正交偏最小二乘-判别分析实现了对NFC和FC杨梅汁的区分,根据变量投影重要度和差异倍数筛选出9个差异较大的代谢物,经对比发现,FC杨梅汁中对磺基苯甲酸、5-甲基四氢叶酸、矢车菊素、西瑞香素、花椒毒酚和异黄蝶呤等抗氧化活性成分的含量相对较低,而苦味物质(新橙皮苷、橙皮苷和槲皮素-3-O-新橙皮苷)含量相对较高。通过对差异代谢物的代谢途径分析,筛选出5条差异较大的代谢通路,其中苯丙氨酸代谢、黄酮和黄酮醇的生物合成是NFC与FC杨梅汁中差异代谢物的关键代谢途径。本研究揭示了NFC与FC杨梅汁代谢产物的差异性,为NFC杨梅汁的加工与鉴别提供理论参考。 相似文献
