P-1.6: Effect of Deposition Condition of Passivation Layer on the Performance of Self-Aligned Top-Gate a-IGZO TFTs
摘要: In this paper, we fabricated self-aligned top-gate (SATG) amorphous thin-film transistors (TFTs). The conductive source/drain regions were formed by hydrogen incorporation during the deposition of SiOx or SiNx passivation layer using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The effect of passivation layer deposition condition on the electrical performance of self-aligned top-gate a-IGZO TFTs was investigated. It was shown that the source-drain parasitic resistance (Rsd) was effectively reduced during the deposition of SiNx passivation layer than SiOx. However, as the deposition temperature of SiNx passivation layer increased, hydrogen lateral diffusion into channel region resulted in the shrinkage of effective channel length and the deterioration of electrical performance of short-channel device.

Efficient Perovskite Solar Cell Modules with High Stability Enabled by Iodide Diffusion Barriers
摘要: Operational stability is crucial for the success in large-scale application of metal halide perovskites devices. The diffusion of volatile iodide component of perovskites can induce irreversible device degradation. Here, low-dimensional diffusion barriers were introduced to increase the operational stability of high-efficiency large-area PSC modules. A negligible decay was observed after 1,000 h under severe test condition for a 15% high-efficiency solar module.

摘要: Existing studies have contributed immensely to link prediction by identifying different types of network communities. In this paper, a new type of network community in online social networks (OSNs) is identified using the association between network nodes. This new network community is called ‘‘virtual community.’’ Virtual communities are based on either the real/ physical relationships of users that are connected to their constituency, social, and professional activities or their virtual interactions associated with their cognitive levels, choice selection, and ideology. Users belonging to the same virtual community exhibit similar behavior in linking to nodes of common interest. These nodes, which reflect the common interest of a community, are called ‘‘prime nodes.’’ Prime nodes are linked to the prediction problem in OSN completion and are generally recommended for OSN growth. Recent studies on ranking algorithms have shown that the incompleteness of OSNs contributes to the low accuracy of ranking algorithms in identifying top spreaders. Thus, in this paper, we propose an OSN completion method based on link prediction through association between prime nodes. An experiment on predicting new links in two real big data sets of two global OSNs, namely, Facebook and Twitter, is conducted. The effectiveness of the proposed method is also validated by applying prominent ranking algorithms to the newly predicted and original networks. Results show that the accuracy rates of the ranking algorithms are improved, thereby validating the importance of the proposed method in predicting vital links.

Tailored Nanopatterning by Controlled Continuous Nanoinscribing with Tunable Shape, Depth, and Dimension
摘要: We present that the tailored nanopatterning with tunable shape, depth, and dimension for diverse application-specific designs can be realized by utilizing controlled dynamic nanoinscribing (DNI), which can generate bur-free plastic deformation on various flexible substrates via continuous mechanical inscription of a small sliced edge of a nanopatterned mold in a compact and vacuum-free system. Systematic controlling of prime DNI processing parameters including inscribing force, temperature, and substrate feed rate can determine the nanopattern depths and their specific profiles from rounded to angular shapes as a summation of the force-driven plastic deformation and heat-driven thermal deformation. More complex nanopatterns with gradient depths and/or multidimensional profiles can also be readily created by modulating the horizontal mold edge alignment and/or combining sequential DNI strokes, which otherwise demand laborious and costly procedures. Many practical user-specific applications may benefit from this study by tailor-making the desired nanopattern structures within desired areas, including precision machine and optics components, transparent electronics and photonics, flexible sensors, and reattachable and wearable devices. We demonstrate one vivid example in which the light diffusion direction of a light-emitting diode can be tuned by application of specifically designed DNI nanopatterns.

摘要: With much advancement in the field of nanotechnology, bioengineering, and synthetic biology over the past decade, microscales and nanoscales devices are becoming a reality. Yet the problem of engineering a reliable communication system between tiny devices is still an open problem. At the same time, despite the prevalence of radio communication, there are still areas where traditional electromagnetic waves find it difficult or expensive to reach. Points of interest in industry, cities, and medical applications often lie in embedded and entrenched areas, accessible only by ventricles at scales too small for conventional radio waves and microwaves, or they are located in such a way that directional high frequency systems are ineffective. Inspired by nature, one solution to these problems is molecular communication (MC), where chemical signals are used to transfer information. Although biologists have studied MC for decades, it has only been researched for roughly 10 year from a communication engineering lens. Significant number of papers have been published to date, but owing to the need for interdisciplinary work, much of the results are preliminary. In this survey, the recent advancements in the field of MC engineering are highlighted. First, the biological, chemical, and physical processes used by an MC system are discussed. This includes different components of the MC transmitter and receiver, as well as the propagation and transport mechanisms. Then, a comprehensive survey of some of the recent works on MC through a communication engineering lens is provided. The survey ends with a technology readiness analysis of MC and future research directions.

The effects of air, oxygen and water exposure on the sub-bandgap absorption, the electronic conductivity and the ambipolar diffusion length in highly crystalline microcrystalline silicon films for photovoltaic applications
摘要: Reversible and irreversible changes due to long term air and short term de-ionized water (DIW) or pure oxygen exposure were investigated in about 1 μm thick hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) films deposited on rough glass substrates, thereby comparing highly crystalline with compact material. Time and temperature dependent dark conductivity, steady-state photoconductivity, the steady-state photocarrier grating and dual-beam photoconductivity methods have been used to study the effects. Standard measurement procedures defined previously have been carefully applied to record the changes after different treatments using the steady-state methods under light. After long term air exposure of highly crystalline μc-Si:H films, a thermal annealing step leads to an increase in dark conductivity (σD) and steady-state photoconductivity (σph) as well as to a significant increase in the sub-bandgap absorption. These effects are likely due to a reversible recovery from surface adsorbents in a porous microstructure after air exposure resulting in surface charge and Fermi level shifts in agreement with earlier results. Compact μc-Si:H films showed only marginal effects upon an annealing after long term air exposure suggesting much reduced susceptibility to surface adsorbent induced by Fermi level shifts. Five hours exposure to de-ionized water at 80 °C caused more than an order of magnitude increase in σD and σph and a substantial decrease in the sub-bandgap absorption spectrum in highly crystalline as well as in compact μc-Si:H films. In addition, minority carrier diffusion lengths measured by the steady-state photocarrier grating method improved significantly. The changes after exposure to water were not reversible upon our standard annealing procedure. Exposure to high purity oxygen gas at 150 °C resulted in similar effects like the exposure to DIW. Also here the changes in material properties were not reversible upon annealing. Results are discussed in terms of adsorption and chemical reactions on surfaces in the porous highly crystalline material versus the materials with more compact structures. Results are compared to earlier observations and consequences for device application will be indicated.

Femtosecond Laser Processing of Thick Film Cathodes and Its Impact on Lithium-Ion Diffusion Kinetics
摘要: Quantitative experiments of lithiation/delithiation rates were considered for a better understanding of electrochemical intercalation/deintercalation processes in laser structured thick film cathodes. Besides galvanostatic cycling for evaluation of specific discharge capacities, a suitable quantitative approach for determining the rate of Li-ion insertion in the active material and the rate of Li-ion transport in the electrolyte is expressed by chemical diffusion coefficient values. For this purpose, the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique has been involved. It could be shown that laser structured electrodes provide an enhanced chemical diffusion coefficient and an improved capacity retention at high charging and discharging rates.

Influence of SiOx film thickness on electrical performance and efficiency of TOPCon solar cells
摘要: The tunnel oxide passivated contact solar cells (TOPCon) on n-type Cz Si wafers instead of passivated emitter and rear solar cells are currently migrated to mainstream production, with ongoing improvements in recent years. In this study, we investigated and characterized one recent batch of TOPCon cells fabricated on 156.75 ? 156.75 ? 0.18mm3 wafers with fully screen-printed technology by an industrial-type process. TOPCon cells with an efficiency as high as 22.43%, a Voc value as high as 689.4 mV, and a fill factor as high as 81.35% were obtained. The P dopant diffusion in the poly Si layer as well as the thickness of the SiOx layer were optimized in order to obtain good electrical contact between screen-printed Ag and Si. The thickness of the SiOx layer should be over 1.5 nm, which is beneficial for obtaining a good passivation for the cells. The surface P dopant concentration in the polycrystalline Si was higher than 1 ? 1020 atom/cm3, resulted in a low series resistance and a high fill factor. The characterization and simulation results show that both metal shading loss and rear surface recombination were dominant among all of the losses. Application to solar cells with a Voc of 697 mV and a fill factor of 82.45% could lead to an independently confirmed cell efficiency of over 23% for n-type cells with poly Si the herein developed passivated rear contacts, and the front metal contacts by addressing the issue of reducing metal recombination and implementing a selective emitter.

摘要: We propose a sampling scheme that can perfectly reconstruct a collection of spikes on the sphere from samples of their lowpass-filtered observations. Central to our algorithm is a generalization of the annihilating filter method, a tool widely used in array signal processing and finite-rate-of-innovation (FRI) sampling. The proposed algorithm can reconstruct spatial samples. For large , this sampling requirement improves over previously known FRI sampling schemes on the sphere by a factor of four. We showcase the versatility of the proposed algorithm by applying it to three problems: 1) sampling diffusion processes induced by localized sources on the sphere, 2) shot noise removal, and 3) sound source localization (SSL) by a spherical microphone array. In particular, we show how SSL can be reformulated as a spherical sparse sampling problem.

摘要: We investigate the mission-critical diffusion profiling problem in mobile sensor networks, where the energy cost and the time delay are constrained. Previous studies fail to solve this problem well enough due to the extremely large searching spaces for sensor measurements and the dynamic evolutions during the diffusion process. We propose a step-aware spatiotemporal sampling approach, which is called iStep, achieving near-optimal profiling precision in terms of the overall profiling process. Leveraging the upper bound of the deviation value in sampling position during each iteration, we build a comprehensive model between sampling interval and the current state parameters, including the distances between the mobile sensors and the pollution source, as well as the confidence interval radius of the source. Building upon this model, we propose an algorithm on computing the step-aware sampling interval. The computational complexity of iStep is O(N S2), which is in the same order of the radial approach, where N is the number of sensors, and S is the total number of movement steps in each iteration. Extensive simulation results show that, compared with the radial approach, iStep can improve the average precision by up to 56.8% and the worst precision by up to 59.1%. Moreover, it performs closely to the brute-force approach, which potentially verifies the near-optimal character of iStep.
