Enhanced thermal stability of a sputtered titanium-nitride film as a diffusion barrier for capacitor-bottom electrodes

The effect of a thin RuO_x layer formed on the Ru/TiN/doped poly-Si/Si stack structure was compared with that on the RuO_x/TiN/doped poly-Si/Si stack structure over the post-deposition annealing temperature ranges of 450–600°C. The Ru/TiN/poly-Si/Si contact system exhibited linear behavior at forward bias with a small increase in the total resistance up to 600°C. The RuO_x/TiN/poly-Si/Si contact system exhibited nonlinear characteristics under forward bias at 450°C, which is attributed to no formation of a thin RuO_x layer at the RuO_x surface and porous-amorphous microstructure. In the former case, the addition of oxygen at the surface layer of the Ru film by pre-annealing leads to the formation of a thin RuO_x layer and chemically strong Ru-O bonds. This results from the retardation of oxygen diffusion caused by the discontinuity of diffusion paths. In particular, the RuO_x layer in a nonstoichiometric state is changed to the RuO₂-crystalline phase in a stoichiometric state after post-deposition annealing; this phase can act as an oxygen-capture layer. Therefore, it appears that the electrical properties of the Ru/TiN/poly-Si/Si contact system are better than those of the RuO_x/TiN/poly-Si/Si contact system.     

Bubble结构牺牲层腐蚀的一种改进模型

以往的牺牲层腐蚀模型把扩散系数看作是常数,然而,实验结果和以往模型的计算结果在腐蚀开始一段较短的时间内吻合较好,但随着腐蚀时间的变长两者的差异越来越明显.为了解释这一现象并使模型能够较好地预测腐蚀过程,提出了腐蚀模型应该考虑氢氟酸扩散系数是浓度的函数,并在此基础上得到了改进模型.在改进模型中,浓度的下降会引起扩散系数的增大,这部分补偿了腐蚀前端浓度的下降.另外在改进模型中,扩散系数还是温度的函数.实验表明,改进模型与实验结果吻合地较好.这些结果不仅为对牺牲层腐蚀机理的理解提供新的证据,而且也为溶液在bubble结构里面的扩散提供新的证据.文中所观察到的这些现象也适合于其他类型的牺牲层腐蚀,条件是其腐蚀过程是受扩散限制的.     

Layer by layer characterisation of the degradation process in PCDTBT:PC71BM based normal architecture polymer solar cells

This work demonstrates the stability and degradation of OSCs based on poly[N-9′-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′ benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT): (6,6)-Phenyl C₇₁ butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₁BM) photoactive blend layers as a function of ageing time in air. Analysis of the stability and degradation process for the OSCs was conducted under ambient air by using current-voltage (I-V) measurements and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interface between photoactive layer and HTL (PEDOT:PSS) was also investigated. Device stability was investigated by calculating decay in power conversion efficiency (PCE) as a function of ageing time in the air. The PCE of devices decrease from 5.17 to 3.61% in one week of fabrication, which is attributed to indium and oxygen migration into the PEDOT:PSS and PCDTBT:PC₇₁BM layer. Further, after aging for 1000 h, XPS spectra confirm the significant diffusion of oxygen into the HTL and photoactive layer which increased from 3.0 and 23.3% to 20.4 and 35.7% in photoactive layer and HTL, respectively. Similarly, the indium content reached to 17.9% on PEDOT:PSS surface and 0.4% on PCDTBT:PC₇₁BM surface in 1000 h. Core-level spectra of active layer indicate the oxidation of carbon atoms in the fullerene cage, oxidation of nitrogen present in the polymer matrix and formation of In₂O₃ due to indium diffusion. We also observed a steady fall in the optical absorption of the active layer during ageing in ambient air and it reduced to 76.5% of initial value in 1000 h. On the basis of these experimental results, we discussed key parameters that account for the degradation process and stability of OSCs in order to improve the device performance.     

A signal adaptive diffusion filter for video coding: Mathematical framework and complexity reductions

In this paper we combine video compression and modern image processing methods. We construct novel iterative filter methods for prediction signals based on Partial Differential Equation (PDE) based methods. The mathematical framework of the employed diffusion filter class is given and some desirable properties are stated. In particular, two types of diffusion filters are constructed: a uniform diffusion filter using a fixed filter mask and a signal adaptive diffusion filter that incorporates the structures of the underlying prediction signal. The latter has the advantage of not attenuating existing edges while the uniform filter is less complex. The filters are embedded into a software based on HEVC with additional QTBT (Quadtree plus Binary Tree) and MTT (Multi-Type-Tree) block structure. In this setting, several measures to reduce the coding complexity of the tool are introduced, discussed and tested thoroughly. The coding complexity is reduced by up to 70% while maintaining over 80% of the gain. Overall, the diffusion filter method achieves average bitrate savings of 2.27% for Random Access having an average encoder runtime complexity of 119% and 117% decoder runtime complexity. For individual test sequences, results of 7.36% for Random Access are accomplished.

Biomimetic Aerogel for Moisture-Induced Energy Harvesting and Self-Powered Electronic Skin

Moisture–electric generator (MEG)-based blue energy is widely studied. There is still a significant challenge in improving the power of the MEGs system and expanding its application in self-powered electronic skin. Inspired by the structure of ferns, a biomimetic moisture–electric aerogel is designed to collect energy. Polyvinyl alcohol dendritic colloids act as “roots” and “stems” to provide support and channels to transport water molecules. Meanwhile, “leaf-like” graphene oxide sheets generate electricity through direct interaction with water. Besides, based on the above biomimetic structure, this work further enhances the output performance of MEGs by increasing the specific surface area (120.4 m² g⁻¹) and introducing an ultra-high ion density gradient (from −35 to +37 mV). Meanwhile, due to the excellent water absorption, the MEGs show good salt resistance and cyclic stability. By constructing unique biomimetic structures, ultra-high ion density gradient, and regulating environmental conditions, a high-performance MEG is obtained, including ultra-high open-circuit voltage (1.9 V) and short-circuit current (82.5 µA), the industry-leading power density among MEGs with continuous output is reported in the literature (22.55 µW cm⁻²). Besides, the MEGs can accurately respond to environmental and pressure changes, showing its application potential in self-powered electronic skin.

Gas sorption and non-Darcy flow in shale reservoirs

Gas sorption and non-Darcy flow are two important issues for shale gas reservoirs. The sorption consists of dissolution and adsorption. Dissolved gas and adsorbed gas are different. The former is dissolved in the shale matrix, while the latter is concentrated near the solid walls of pores. In this paper, the Langmuir equation is used to describe adsorption and Henry’s law is used to describe dissolution. The K coefficient in Henry’s law of 0.052 mmol/(MPa g TOC) is obtained by matching experimental data. The amount of dissolved gas increases linearly when pressure increases. Using only the Langmuir equation without considering dissolution can lead to a significant underestimation of the amount of sorbed gas in shales. For non-Darcy gas flow, the apparent permeability model for free gas is established by combining slip flow and Knudsen flow. For adsorbed gas, the surface diffusion effect is also considered in this model. The surface diffu- sion coefficient is suggested to be of the same scale as the gas self-diffusion coefficient, and the corresponding effective permeability is derived. When 1/ increases,k_(app)/ k_D increases, but the relationship is not linear as the Klinkenberg effect suggests. The effect of adsorption on the gas flow is significant in nanopores (r≤2 nm). Adsorption increases apparent permeability in shales at low pressures and decreases it at high pressures.
