As a key element for the 2D/3D TFET, the intensive exploration of the tunnel diode based on the 2D/3D heterostructure is in urgent need.The transfer technique composed of the exfoliation and the release process is currently the most common approach to fabricating the 2D/3D heterostructures. However, the well-established transfer technique of the 2D materials is still unavailable.Only a small part of the irregular films can usually be obtained by mechanical exfoliation, while the choice of the chemical exfoliation may lead to the contamination of the 2D material films by the ions in the chemical etchants. Moreover, the deformation of the 2D material in the transfer process due to its soft nature also leads to the nonuniformity of the transferred film,which is one of the main reasons for the presence of the wrinkles and the stacks in the transferred film. Thus, the large-scale fabrication of the high-quality 2D/3D tunnel diodes is limited. In this article, a comprehensive transfer technique that can mend up the shortages mentioned above with the aid of the water and the thermal release tape(TRT) is proposed. Based on the method we proposed, the MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is experimentally demonstrated and the transferred monolayer MoS_(2) film with the relatively high crystal quality is confirmed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Raman characterizations. Besides, the prominent negative differential resistance(NDR) effect is observed at room temperature, which verifies the relatively high quality of the MoS_(2)/Si heterojunction. The bilayer MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is also experimentally fabricated by repeating the transfer process we proposed, followed by the specific analysis of the electrical characteristics. This study shows the advantages of the transfer technique we proposed and indicates the great application foreground of the fabricated 2D/3D heterostructure for ultralow-power tunneling devices.展开更多

We plotted rectification ratio vs. voltage (RR-V) of the diode. From I-V plots of the diodes, saturation current (I<sub>o</sub>), and ideality factor (n) were calculated. Barrier height (eΦ<sub>B</sub>) and series resistance (R<sub>S</sub>) were calculated with Norde functions. The results show that in the Al/methylene-blue/n-Si/Au diode, the methylene-blue layer has a significant impact on electrical properties such as series resistance, barrier height, ideality factor, conductance, rectification ratio, and capacitance.展开更多

文摘The 10 nm p-NiO thin film is prepared by thermal oxidation of Ni onβ-Ga_(2)O_(3)to form NiO/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)p-n heterojunction diodes(HJDs).The NiO/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)HJDs exhibit excellent electrostatic properties,with a high breakdown voltage of 465 V,a specific on-resistance(Ron,sp)of 3.39 mΩ·cm^(2),and a turn-on voltage(V on)of 1.85 V,yielding a static Baliga's figure of merit(FOM)of 256 MW/cm^(2).Also,the HJDs have a low turn-on voltage,which reduces conduction loss dramatically,and a rectification ratio of up to 108.Meanwhile,the HJDs'reverse leakage current is essentially unaffected at temperatures below 170?C,and their leakage level may be controlled below 10^(-10)A.This indicates that p-NiO/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)HJDs with good thermal stability and high-temperature operating ability can be a good option for high-performanceβ-Ga_(2)O_(3)power devices.
文摘We demonstrated gold nanoclusters as color tunable emissive light converters for the application of white light emitting diodes (WLEDs). A blue LED providing 460 nm to excite gold nanoclusters mixed with UV curable material generates broad bandwidth emission at the visible range. Increasing the amount of gold nanoclusters, the correlated color temperature of WLEDs tuned from cold white to warm white, and also results in the variation of color rendering index (CRI). The highest CRI in the experiment is 92.

文摘We investigate the polarization-induced doping in the gradient variation of Al composition in the pAl_(0.75)Ga_(0.25)N/Al_xGa_(1-x)N hole injection layer(HIL)for deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes(DUV-LEDs)with an ultrathin p-GaN(4 nm)ohmic contact layer capable of emitting 277 nm.The experimental results show that the external quantum efficiency(EQE)and wall plug efficiency(WPE)of the structure graded from 0.75 to 0.55 in the HIL reach 5.49%and 5.04%,which are improved significantly by 182%and 209%,respectively,compared with the structure graded from 0.75 to 0.45,exhibiting a tremendous improvement.Both theoretical speculations and simulation results support that the larger the difference between 0.75 and x in the HIL,the higher the hole concentration that should be induced;thus,the DUV-LED has a higher internal quantum efficiency(IQE).Meanwhile,as the value of x decreases,the absorption of the DUV light emitted from the active region by the HIL is enhanced,reducing the light extraction efficiency(LEE).The IQE and LEE together affect the EQE performance of DUV-LEDs.To trade off the contradiction between the enhanced IQE and decreased LEE caused by the decrease in Al composition,the Al composition in the HIL was optimized through theoretical calculations and experiments.

文摘Impedance spectroscopy has been increasingly employed in quantum dot light-emitting diodes(QLEDs)to investigate the charge dynamics and device physics.In this review,we introduce the mathematical basics of impedance spectroscopy that applied to QLEDs.In particular,we focus on the Nyquist plot,Mott-Schottky analysis,capacitance-frequency and capacitance-voltage characteristics,and the d C/d V measurement of the QLEDs.These impedance measurements can provide critical information on electrical parameters such as equivalent circuit models,characteristic time constants,charge injection and recombination points,and trap distribution of the QLEDs.However,this paper will also discuss the disadvantages and limitations of these measurements.Fundamentally,this review provides a deeper understanding of the device physics of QLEDs through the application of impedance spectroscopy,offering valuable insights into the analysis of performance loss and degradation mechanisms of QLEDs.

文摘A method to improve the surge current capability of silicon carbide(SiC)merged PiN Schottky(MPS)diodes is presented and investigated via three-dimensional electro-thermal simulations.When compared with a conventional MPS diode,the proposed structure has a more uniform current distribution during bipolar conduction due to the help of the continuous P+surface,which can avoid the formation of local hotspots during the surge process.The Silvaco simulation results show that the proposed structure has a 20.29%higher surge capability and a 15.06%higher surge energy compared with a conventional MPS diode.The bipolar on-state voltage of the proposed structure is 4.69 V,which is 56.29%lower than that of a conventional MPS diode,enabling the device to enter the bipolar mode earlier during the surge process.Furthermore,the proposed structure can suppress the occurrence of‘snapback'phenomena when switching from the unipolar to the bipolar operation mode.In addition,an analysis of the surge process of MPS diodes is carried out in detail.
文摘The viability of the indium phosphide(InP)Gunn diode as a source for low-THz band applications is analyzed based on a notch-δ-doped structure using the Monte Carlo modeling.The presence of theδ-doped layer could enhance the current harmonic amplitude(A0)and the fundamental operating frequency(f0)of the InP Gunn diode beyond 300 GHz as compared with the conventional notch-doped structure for a 600-nm length device.With its superior electron transport properties,the notch-δ-doped InP Gunn diodes outperform the corresponding gallium arsenide(GaAs)diodes with up to 1.35 times higher in f0 and 2.4 times larger in A0 under DC biases.An optimized InP notch-δ-doped structure is estimated to be capable of generating 0.32-W radio-frequency(RF)power at 361 GHz.The Monte Carlo simulations predict a reduction of 44%in RF power,when the device temperature is increased from 300 K to 500 K;however,its operating frequency lies at 280 GHz which is within the low-THz band.This shows that the notch-δ-doped InP Gunn diode is a highly promising signal source for low-THz sensors,which are in a high demand in the autonomous vehicle industry.

文摘Due to the pristine interface of the 2D/3D face-tunneling heterostructure with an ultra-sharp doping profile, the 2D/3D tunneling field-effect transistor(TFET) is considered as one of the most promising low-power devices that can simultaneously obtain low off-state current(IOFF), high on-state current(ION) and steep subthreshold swing(SS). As a key element for the 2D/3D TFET, the intensive exploration of the tunnel diode based on the 2D/3D heterostructure is in urgent need.The transfer technique composed of the exfoliation and the release process is currently the most common approach to fabricating the 2D/3D heterostructures. However, the well-established transfer technique of the 2D materials is still unavailable.Only a small part of the irregular films can usually be obtained by mechanical exfoliation, while the choice of the chemical exfoliation may lead to the contamination of the 2D material films by the ions in the chemical etchants. Moreover, the deformation of the 2D material in the transfer process due to its soft nature also leads to the nonuniformity of the transferred film,which is one of the main reasons for the presence of the wrinkles and the stacks in the transferred film. Thus, the large-scale fabrication of the high-quality 2D/3D tunnel diodes is limited. In this article, a comprehensive transfer technique that can mend up the shortages mentioned above with the aid of the water and the thermal release tape(TRT) is proposed. Based on the method we proposed, the MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is experimentally demonstrated and the transferred monolayer MoS_(2) film with the relatively high crystal quality is confirmed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Raman characterizations. Besides, the prominent negative differential resistance(NDR) effect is observed at room temperature, which verifies the relatively high quality of the MoS_(2)/Si heterojunction. The bilayer MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is also experimentally fabricated by repeating the transfer process we proposed, followed by the specific analysis of the electrical characteristics. This study shows the advantages of the transfer technique we proposed and indicates the great application foreground of the fabricated 2D/3D heterostructure for ultralow-power tunneling devices.

文摘This work presents novel field emission organic light emitting diodes(FEOLEDs) with dynode,in which an organic EL light-emitting layer is used instead of an inorganic phosphor thin film in the field emission display(FED).The proposed FEOLEDs introduce field emission electrons into organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs),which exhibit a higher luminous efficiency than conventional OLED.The field emission electrons emitted from the carbon nanotubes(CNTs) cathode and to be amplified by impact the dynode in vacuum.These field emission electrons are injected into the multi-layer organic materials of OLED to increase the electron density.Additionally,the proposed FEOLED increase the luminance of OLED from 10 820 cd/m2 to 24 782 cd/m2 by raising the current density of OLED from an external electron source.The role of FEOLED is to add the quantity of electrons-holes pairs in OLED,which increase the exciton and further increase the luminous efficiency of OLED.Under the same operating current density,the FEOLED exhibits a higher luminous efficiency than that of OLED.
文摘We studied the electrical characteristics of Al/methylene-blue/n-Si/Au Schottky diodes such as current-voltage, conductance-capacitance-voltage, and conductance-capacitance-frequency. We plotted rectification ratio vs. voltage (RR-V) of the diode. From I-V plots of the diodes, saturation current (I<sub>o</sub>), and ideality factor (n) were calculated. Barrier height (eΦ<sub>B</sub>) and series resistance (R<sub>S</sub>) were calculated with Norde functions. The results show that in the Al/methylene-blue/n-Si/Au diode, the methylene-blue layer has a significant impact on electrical properties such as series resistance, barrier height, ideality factor, conductance, rectification ratio, and capacitance.
