Electrical and photovoltaic response of bulk hetero-junction device made from poly (3-phenyl azo methine thiophene) (PPAT) and 1, 1′-diallyl substituted 4, 4′-dipyridine (DADP)

Electrical and photovoltaic properties of donor–acceptor composite system comprised of poly (3-phenyl azo methine thiophene) (PPAT) and 1, 1′–diallyl substituted 4, 4′-dipyridine (DADP) were investigated. A significant enhancement of photocurrent was observed when PPAT was blended with DADP. The increase in photocurrent has been explained in terms of efficient charge separation that resulted from the transfer of photo-excited electrons from PPAT to DADP. The strong quenching of fluorescence of PPAT was caused by the presence of DADP that indicates the photo-induced charge transfer from PPAT to DADP. The open circuit voltage (V_oc) generated in the device is independent of the variation of work function of negative metal electrode that has been explained in terms of Fermi level pinning between DADP and metal via surface charges. The electrical characteristics of ITO/PPAT: DADP/Al photovoltaic device were determined by analyzing the dependence of short circuit photocurrent density (J_sc) and V_oc under illumination at different temperatures. The V_oc decreases almost linearly with increasing temperature, while short-circuit photocurrent increases logarithmically with temperature and saturates at higher temperature above 330 K. This dependence of J_sc and V_oc on temperature has been discussed in terms of possible mechanism that involves the photovoltage generation and charge carrier transport in the device under thermally activated state. The photovoltaic device made from PPAT: DADP blend has shown three times higher photosensitivity than that of made from pure PPAT.     

Ultra high-speed InP/InGaAs SHBTs with ft and fmax of 185 GHz

An InP/InGaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistor (SHBT) with high maximum oscillation frequency (f_max) and high cutoff frequency (f_t) is reported. Efforts have been made to maximize f_max and f_t simultaneously including optimizing the epitaxial structure, base–collector mesa over-etching and base surface preparation. The measured f_t and f_max both reached 185 GHz with an emitter size of 1 × 20 μ m², which is the highest f_max for SHBTs in mainland China. The device is suitable for ultra-high speed digital circuits and low power analog applications.

3-D simulation of angled strike heavy-ion induced charge collection in silicon–germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors

This paper presents 3-D simulation of angled strike heavy-ion induced charge collection in domestic silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors （SiGe HBTs）. 3D damaged model of SiGe HBTs single-event effects （SEE） is built by TCAD simulation tools to research ions angled strike dependence. We select several different strike angles at variously typical ions strike positions. The charge collection mechanism for each terminal is identified based on analysis of the device structure and simulation results. Charge collection induced by angled strike ions presents a complex situation. Whether the location of device ions enters, as long as ions track through the sensitive volume, it will cause vast charge collection. The amount of charge collection of SiGe HBT is not only related to length of ions track in sensitive volume, but also influenced by STI and distance between ions track and electrodes. The simulation model is useful to research the practical applications of SiGe HBTs in space, and provides a theoretical basis for the further radiation hardening.

Heterogeneous Bimetallic Mo-NiPx/NiSy as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for Robust Overall Water Splitting

Highly efficient electrocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements are desired for water-splitting to produce clean and renewable chemical fuel. Herein, a heteroatomic-doped multi-phase Mo-doped nickel phosphide/nickel sulfide (Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y) nanowire electrocatalyst is designed by a successive phosphorization and sulfuration method for boosting overall water splitting (both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER)) in alkaline solution. As expected, the Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y electrode possesses low overpotentials both at low and high current densities in HER, while the Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y heterostructure exhibits high active performance with ultra-low overpotentials of 137, 182, and 250 mV at the current density of 10, 100, and 400 mA cm⁻² in 1 m KOH solution, respectively, in oxygen evolution reaction. In particular, the as-prepared Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y electrodes exhibit remarkable full water splitting performance at both low and high current densities of 10, 100, and 400 mA cm⁻² with 1.42, 1.70, and 2.36 V, respectively, which is comparable to commercial electrolysis.     

2D van der Waals Heterojunction of Organic and Inorganic Monolayers for High Responsivity Phototransistors

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures composing of organic molecules with inorganic 2D crystals open the door to fabricate various promising hybrid devices. Here, a fully ordered organic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) to construct hybrid organic–inorganic vdW heterojunction phototransistors for highly sensitive light detection is used. The heterojunctions, formed by layering MoS₂ monolayer crystals onto organic [12-(benzo[b]benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]thiophen-2-yl)dodecyl)]phosphonic acid SAM, are characterized by Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy as well as Kelvin probe force microscopy. Remarkably, this vdW heterojunction transistor exhibits a superior photoresponsivity of 475 A W⁻¹ and enhanced external quantum efficiency of 1.45 × 10⁵%, as well as an extremely low dark photocurrent in the pA range. This work demonstrates that hybridizing SAM with 2D materials can be a promising strategy for fabricating diversified optoelectronic devices with unique properties.
