Angle-dependent ray tracing simulations of reflections on pyramidal textures for silicon solar cells

Vincent Magnin, Joseph Harari, Mathieu Halbwax, S Bastide, D Cherfi, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

Pyramidal textures are commonly used to reduce reflections from silicon solar cells and improve light absorption by light trapping. They are generally modelled or characterized under normal incidence. In this work, a monolayer 3D ray tracing program taking into account the polarisation of light…

Confinement-modulated junctionless nanowire transistors for logic circuits

François Vaurette, Renaud Leturcq, Sylvie Lepilliet, Bruno Grandidier, Didier Stiévenard

We report the controlled formation of nanoscale constrictions in junctionless nanowire field-effect transistors that efficiently modulate the flow of the current in the nanowire. The constrictions act as potential barriers and the height of the barriers can be selectively tuned by gates, making the…

On the effect of δ-doping in self-switching diodes

Andreas Westlund, Ignacio Iñiguez-De-La-Torre, Per-Åke Nilsson, Tomas González, Javier Mateos, Paul Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, L. Desplanque, Xavier Wallart, Jan Grahn

Lowering the carrier concentration is presented as a way to considerably improve the performance of self-switching diode (SSD) detectors. A physics-based theoretical model was used to derive an expression for the responsivity of SSDs as a function of carrier concentration, mobility, and design…

Optimized V-shape design of GaN nanodiodes for the generation of Gunn oscillations

J.F. Millithaler, I. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, A. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, T. Gonz Alez, P. Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, J. Mateos

In this work, recent advances in the design of GaN planar Gunn diodes with asymmetric shape, socalled self-switching diodes, are presented. A particular geometry for the nanodiode is proposed, referred as V-shape, where the width of the channel is intentionally increased as approaching the anode.…

Current-voltage characteristics of (Mo/Au)/AlGaN/GaN/Si Schottky diodes

H. Mosbahi, M. Charfeddine, M. Gassoumi, Christophe Gaquière, M.A. Zaidi, H. Maaref

The AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is a promising candidate for microwave applications due to its high power and high temperature. owing to their large and direct band gap, as well as favorable transport properties. Moreover, III-V nitrides could be suitable for the emitters…

200 GHz coherent wireless link using photonics-based emission

Guillaume Ducournau, Y. Yoshimizu, S. Hisatake, F. Pavanello, Emilien Peytavit, Mohammed Zaknoune, T. Nagatsuma, Jean-Francois Lampin

We investigated a coherent THz link at 200 GHz, with variable data rate up to 11 Gbit/s, featuring the combination of a quasi-optic UTC-PD emitter and a high sensitivity electronic receiver. This coherent link relies on an optical frequency comb generator at emission to produce an optical beat note…

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of absorbing materials and of metamaterials

Jean-Louis Coutaz, M. Bernier, Frédéric Garet, S. Joly, Y. Miyake, H. Minamide, Eric Lheurette, Didier Lippens

This paper gives a review of recent works we performed in view of characterizing natural materials and metamaterials by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We address materials that exhibit a low transmittance in given narrow spectral bands or over the whole experimental spectral window. We give…

Dirac cones, topological edge states, and nontrivial flat bands in two-dimensional semiconductors with a honeycomb nanogeometry

Efterpi Kalesaki, Christophe Delerue, Cristiane Morais Smith, Wouter Beugeling, Guy Allan, Daniel Vanmaekelbergh

We study theoretically two-dimensional single-crystalline sheets of semiconductors that form a honeycomb lattice with a period below 10 nm. These systems could combine the usual semiconductor properties with Dirac bands. Using atomistic tight-binding calculations, we show that both the atomic…

Sergey S. Koshelyuk, Yu V. Pylnov, Vladimir L. Preobrazhensky, Philippe Pernod

This paper investigates the change in contact angle of droplets of fluid containing dispersed nanoparticles (nanofluid) stabilized in oleic acid and ethanol placed in a rotating magnetic field. Paramagnetic nanoparticles with an average size 100 nm were injected into the droplets and situated on…
