Six-port technology for millimeter-wave metrology

Kamel Haddadi, Christophe Loyez, Katir Ziouche

The six-port measurement technique has played a major role in vector network analysis metrology, particularly within the community of national standards laboratories. Thanks to reduced hardware resource in contrast with conventional and well-established down-mixing heterodyne technique, this paper…

Performance assessment of a small-size ocean wave energy harvester

Yongjie Sang, Bertrand Dubus

A lightweight electromechanical device is studied to harvest energy of ocean waves and supply electrical power to small-size ocean observation equipment such as sonobuoys. It is composed of a magnet fixed to the floating housing which follows the motion of the ocean surface and a moving coil…

Impact of the in situ SiN Thickness on Low-Frequency Noise in MOVPE InAlGaN/GaN HEMTs

M. Rzin, B. Guillet, Laurence Méchin, P. Gamarra, C. Lacam, F Medjdoub, J.-M. Routoure

This article reports on sub-10-nm quater-nary barrier InAlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown by metal-organic-vapor-phase-epitaxy (MOVPE) with an in situ SiN passivation layer and an ultra-short gate length of 200 nm. Two batches of HEMTs with two SiN thicknesses (t SiN) of 14…

3D Patterning of Si by Contact Etching With Nanoporous Metals

Stéphane Bastide, Encarnacion Torralba, Mathieu Halbwax, Sylvain Le Gall, Elias Mpogui, Christine Cachet-Vivier, Vincent Magnin, Joseph Harari, Dmitri Yarekha, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

Nanoporous gold and platinum electrodes are used to pattern n-type silicon by contact etching at the macroscopic scale. This type of electrode has the advantage of forming nanocontacts between silicon, the metal and the electrolyte as in classical metal assisted chemical etching while ensuring…

Giant, Anomalous Piezoimpedance in Silicon-on-insulator

H. Li, C.T.K. Lew, B.C. Johnson, J.C. Mccallum, S. Arscott, A.C.H. Rowe

A giant, anomalous piezoresponse of fully depleted silicon-on-insulator devices under mechanical stress is demonstrated by impedance spectroscopy. This piezoresponse strongly depends on the measurement frequency, ω, and consists of both a piezoresistance (PZR) and a piezocapacitance, whose maximum…

Transmorphic epitaxial growth of AlN nucleation layers on SiC substrates for high-breakdown thin GaN transistors

Jun Lu, Jr-Tai Chen, Martin Dahlqvist, Riad Kabouche, F Medjdoub, Johanna Rosen, Olof Kordina, Lars Hultman

ABSTRACT Interfaces containing misfit dislocations deteriorate electronic properties of heteroepitaxial wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductors grown on foreign substrates, as a result of lattice and thermal expansion mismatches and incompatible chemical bonding. We report grain-boundary-free AlN…
