High quality 3D-heterostructures were constructed by selective area (SA) molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using a specially patterned GaAs (001) substrate. MBE growth parameters such as substrate temperature, V/III ratio, growth ratio, group V sources ($As_2$, $As_4$) were varied to calibrate the selective area growth conditions. Scanning micro-photoluminescence ($\mu$-PL) measurements and following analysis revealed that the gradually (adiabatically) coupled 2DEG-1D-1DEG field effect transistor (FET) system was realized. This 3D-heterostructure is very promising for the realization of the meso-scopic electronic devices and circuits since it makes it possible to form direct ohmic contact to the (quasi) 1DEG.

This paper presents the design and characterization of wide band ohmic microswitch with an actuation voltage as low as 20~25 V, and a restoring force of 14.1 μN. The design of the proposed switch is primarily composed of an electrostatic actuator, bridge membrane, cantilever (beam) and coplanar waveguide, suspended over the substrate. The analysis shows an insertion loss of −0.002 dB at 1GHz and remains as low as −0.35 dB, even at 100 GHz. The isolation loss of the switch is sustained at −21.09 dB at 100GHz, with a peak value of −99.58 dB at 1 GHz and up-state capacitance of 4 fF. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a series contact switch, which works over a wide bandwidth (DC-100 GHz) and with such a high and sustained isolation, even at high frequencies and with an excellent figure of merit (f_c=1/2.pi.Ron.Cu= 39.7 THz).

Contact Pattern을 Plasma Etching을 통해 Pattering 공정을 진행함에 있어서 Plasma 내에 존재하는 High Energy Ion 들의 Bombardment 에 의해, Contact Bottom 의 Silicon Lattice Atom 들은 Physical 한 Damage를 받아 Electron 의 흐름을 방해하게 되어, Resistance를 증가시키게 된다. 또한 Etchant 로 사용되는 Fluorine 과 Chlorine Atom 들은, Contact Bottom 에 Contamination 으로 작용하게 되어, 후속 Contact 공정을 진행하면서 증착되는 Ti 나 Co Layer 와 Si 이 반응하는 것을 방해하여 Ohmic Contact을 형성하기 위한 Silicide Layer를 형성하지 못하도록 만든다. High Aspect Ratio Contact (HARC) Etching 을 진행하면서 Contact Profile을 Vertical 하게 형성하기 위하여 Bias Power를 증가하여 사용하게 되는데, 이로부터 Contact Bottom에서 발생하는 Etchant 로 인한 Damage 는 더욱 더 증가하게 된다. 이 Damage Layer를 추가적인 Secondary Damage 없이 제거하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 원자층 식각방법(Atomic Layer Etching Technique)을 사용하였다. 실험에 사용된 원자층 식각방법을 이용하여, Damage 가 발생한 Si Layer를 Secondary Damage 없이 효과적으로 Control 하여 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 30 nm Deep Contact Bottom 에서 Damage 가 제거될 수 있음을 확인하였다. XPS 와 Depth SIMS Data를 이용하여 상기 실험 결과를 확인하였으며, SEM Profile 분석을 통하여, Damage 제거 결과 및 Profile 변화 여부를 확인하였으며, 4 Point Prove 결과를 통하여 결과적으로 Resistance 가 개선되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The polyimide(PI) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra thin films were prepared by imidizing the PAAS LB films of PMDA and benzidine system with a thermal treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ for 30min, where the PAAS LB films were formed on substrates by using LB technique. The thicknesses of one layer of PAAS and PI LB film that deposited at the surface pressure of 27mN/m were 20.9 and 4A, respectively. At low electric field, ohmic conduction($I^{\propto}$ V) was observed and the calculated electrical conductivity was about $4.23{\times}10^{-15}{\sim}9.81{\times}10^{-15}S/cm$. The dielectric constant of LB film was about 7.0.

The electrical and mechanical properties of electrode for radiation detection are very important. In general, Au electrode and CZT crystal are combined to form ohmic contacts, and the best energy resolution is shown at the Au electrode. The metal contacts are fabricated by electroless deposition method, sputtering deposition method and thermal evaporation method. The electrode fabrication is easy with use of the thermal evaporation method, while an adhesive strength is weak. Thus interface materials such as Ag, Al and Ni were investigated to overcome defects generated by the this method. The thickness of the interface material between the Au electrode and the CZT crystal was 100 Angstroms, the Au electrode with thickness of 400 Angstroms was deposited. The Al+Au electrode is shown that the results of current-voltage and radiation response are similar to results of Au electrode.

3개 태양전지 견본의 전류 전압특성과 효율에 관한 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 견본 하나는 우리 연구실에서 만든 이온주입식의 것이며, 나머지 두개는 외국의 한 메이커가 만든 열확산식의 것이다. 실험에 의하던 각 견본의 접합형성의 특성과 그 효율은 각 p-n 접합의 전류 전압 특성에 크게 의존된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이온 주입식 견븐의 불완전한 특성의 원인은 약간 부족한 불순물의 표면농도, 이온 충격과 잡불순물에 의한 격자 결함, 전극에 있어서의 불충분한 Ohm 접촉등의 원인에 기인된다는 것을 본 비교 연구를 통해서 명백히 알 수 있었다. 변환효율에 있어서는 열화산으로 된 두 견본의 것은 각각 14.3%와 9.3%인데 비해서 이온주입으로 된 견본의 것은 4.2%였다.

Most high-efficiency n-type silicon solar cells are based on the high quality surface passivation and ohmic contact between the emitter and the metal. Currently, various metalization methods such as screen printing using metal paste and physical vapor deposition are being used in forming electrodes of n-type silicon solar cell. In this paper, we analyzed the degradation factors induced by the front electrode formation process using e-beam evaporation of double passivation structure of p-type emitter and $Al_2O_3/SiN_x$ for high efficiency solar cell using n-type bulk silicon. In order to confirm the cause of the degradation, the passivation characteristics of each electrode region were determined through a quasi-steady-state photo-conductance (QSSPC).

The formation of front metal contact silicon solar cells is required for low cost, low contact resistance to silicon surfaces. One of the available front metal contacts is Ni/Cu plating, which can be mass produced via asimple and inexpensive process. A selective emitter, meanwhile, involves two different doping levels, with higher doping (${\leq}30{\Omega}/sq$) underneath the grid to achieve good ohmic contact and low doping between the grid in order to minimize the heavy doping effect in the emitter. This study describes the formation of a selective emitter and a nickel silicide seed layer for the front metallization of silicon cells. The contacts were thickened by a plated Ni/Cu two-step metallization process on front contacts. The experimental results showed that the Ni layer via SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) analyses. Finally, a plated Ni/Cu contact solar cell displayed efficiency of 18.10% on a $2{\times}2cm^2$, Cz wafer.

In this work, we fabricated oxide on an n-type silicon substrate through local anodic oxidation (LAO) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The resulting oxide thickness was measured and its correlation with load force, scan speed and applied voltage was analyzed. The surface oxide layer was stripped using a buffered oxide etch. Ohmic contacts were created by applying silver paste on the silicon substrate back face. LAO was performed at approximately 70% humidity. The oxide thickness increased with increasing the load force, the voltage, and reducing the scan speed. We confirmed that LAO/AFM can be used to create both lateral and, to some extent, vertical shapes and patterns, as previously shown in the literature.

Here we present the comparative experimental study of the stability of the superconducting state in 4 mm YBCO tapes with copper lamination against local heat disturbances at 77 K. The samples are either directly cooled by immersing a bare YBCO tape into a liquid nitrogen pool or operate in nearly-adiabatic conditions when the tape is covered by a 0.6 mm layer of Kapton insulation. Main quench characteristics, i.e. minimum quench energies (MQEs) and normal zone propagation (NZP) velocities for both samples are measured and compared. Minimum NZP currents are determined by a low ohmic resistor technique eligible for obtaining V - I curves with a negative differential resistance. The region of transport currents satisfying the stationary stability criterion is found for the different cooling conditions. Finally, we use the critical temperature margin as a universal scaling parameter to compare the MQEs obtained in this work for YBCO tapes at 77 K with those taken from literature for low-temperature superconductors in vacuum at 4.2 K, as well as for MgB2 wires cooled with a cryocooler down to 20 K.
