Parametric study of self-forming ZnO nanowall network with honeycomb structure by pulsed laser deposition

Basma El Zein, S. Boulfrad, G.E. Jabbour, El Hadj Dogheche

The successful synthesis of catalyst free zinc oxide (ZnO) Nanowall networks with honeycomb like struc-ture by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is demonstrated in this paper. The synthesis was conducted directlyon Silicon (Si) (1 0 0) and Glass-ITO substrates without the intermediate of metal catalyst…

UV and IR laser induced ablation of Al2O3/SiN:H and a-Si:H/SiN:H

T. Schutz-Kuchly, A. Slaoui, J. Zelgowski, A. Bahouka, M. Pawlik, Jean-Pierre Vilcot, E. Delbos, M. Bouttemy, R. Cabal

Experimental work on laser induced ablation of thin Al2O3(20 nm)/SiN:H (70 nm) and a-Si:H (20 nm)/SiN:H (70 nm) stacks acting, respectively, as p-type and n-type silicon surface passivation layers is reported. Results obtained using two different laser sources are compared. The stacks are…

Design and fabrication of uni-travelling carrier (UTC) photodiode based on InxGa1-xN semiconductors

Bandar Alshehri, Karim Dogheche, P.I. Seetoh, J.H. Teng, S.J. Chua, Didier Decoster, El Hadj Dogheche

This work is focused both on InxGa1-xN single-layer and InxGa1-xN/GaN multilayered structures, with high Indium content (x>35%). In this study, InGaN/GaN films are epitaxially grown on sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The microstructure of GaN and InxGa1-xN…

Polarization properties of specular and dense multipath components in a large industrial hall

Isabelle Vin, Davy Gaillot, Emmeric Tanghe, Wout Joseph, Pierre Laly, M. Lienard, Luc Martens

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the polarization characteristics of specular and dense multipath components in a large industrial hall, based on frequency-domain channel sounding experiments at 1.3 GHz. The RiMAX maximum-likelihood estimator is used to extract the full-polarimetric…

A decision feedback equalizer with channel-dependent power consumption for 60-GHz receiver

Ilias Sourikopoulos, Antoine Frappé, Andreas Kaiser, Laurent Clavier

The design of a baseband decision feedback equalizer, featuring a continuous-time digital delay line, is discussed within the context of a wireless, Line-Of-Sight, communication scenario over the 60-GHz band. BER simulations advocate for a critical-tap cancellation scheme, which leads to the…

A new optimal design method for electrostatically actuated silicon-based MEMS: Application to a micro-gripper with large stroke and high force resolution

A. Grira, C. Rotinat-Libersa, Bernard Legrand, L. Buchaillot

The design of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is often based on the use of costly trial and error method which depends highly on the technical skills of the involved engineers. The drawback of such a procedure is to lead to sub-optimal designs and poor performance at the end. Some research…

ZnO nanowires and PbS quantum dots for third-generation solar cells

Basma El Zein, Mutalifu Abulikemu, Erkki Alarousu, Omar F. Mohammed, Enrico Traversa, El Hadj Dogheche

Nanowires and quantum dots hold promising potency to enhance the performance of solar cells by improving light absorption, light trapping, exciton generation, and photoexcited-carrier collection. Quantum dot sensitized solar cells consist of three components: semiconductor quantum dots, one…

Efficient reduction of thermal conductivity in silicon using phononic-engineered membranes

Valeria Lacatena, Maciej Haras, J.F. Robillard, Stéphane Monfray, Thomas Skotnicki, Emmanuel Dubois

Phononic crystals (PC) have been a remarkably active research field for more than two decades [1]. The principle of Bragg reflection on an artificial crystal-like structure leading to additional spectral (band gaps) and refractive (negative refraction, anisotropy) properties is scalable in any…
