Influence of processing gases on the properties of cold atmospheric plasma SiOxCy coatings

H. Hamze, Maude Jimenez, D. Deresmes, Arnaud Beaurain, Nicolas Nuns, Michel Traisnel

Thin layers of SiOxCy (y = 4−x and 3 ≤ x ≤ 4) were applied using a cold atmospheric plasma torch on glass substrates. The aim was to investigate using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (Tof-Sims) the influence of…

Synthesis and characterization of BNT thin films

Sara Abou Dargham, Jihane Jabbour, Youssef Zaatar, Jamal Assaad, Antonio Khoury, Denis Remiens, Doumit Zaouk

Polycrystalline piezoelectric lead-free Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (abbreviated as BNT) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by an optimized Sol-Gel process using the Electrospray technique. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that after heating the films at 650˚C for 1 hour, dense and well…

Polymer based flapping-wing robotic insect : progress in design, fabrication and characterization

Alexandre Bontemps, Thomas Vanneste, Caroline Soyer, Jean-Bernard Paquet, Sébastien Grondel, Eric Cattan

In the last decade, many researchers pursued the development of tiny flying robots inspired by natural flyers destined for the exploration of confined spaces, for example. Within this context, our main objective is to devise a flying robot bioinspired from insect in terms of size and wing…

Electrical characterization of semiconductor nanowires by scanning tunneling microscopy

Corentin Durand, Pierre Capiod, Maxime Berthe, Tao Xu, Jean-Philippe Nys, Renaud Leturcq, Philippe Caroff, B. Grandidier

In order to understand the structural and electronic properties of semiconductor nanowires, scanning tunneling microscopy is an appealing technique that can supplement transmission electron microscopies and conventional electrical characterization techniques. It is able to probe the surface of…

Electrical and chemical studies on Al2O3 passivation activation process

Matthieu Pawlik, Jean-Pierre Vilcot, Mathieu Halbwax, D. Aureau, A. Etcheberry, A. Slaoui, T. Schutz-Kuchly, R. Cabal

Passivation process is a key feature to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cells. So far, a 20nm-thick layer of Al2O3 grown by Plasma Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PE-ALD) followed by a 450°C anneal during 15 to 30 min gives the best results in surface carrier recombination velocities on p…

Ion-beam effect on functional properties of La2Ti2O7 piezoelectric thin films and nanoislands

A. Ferri, S. Saitzek, Z. Shao, A. Bayart, G. Declercq, Jean Costecalde, Denis Remiens, D. Deresmes, David Troadec, Rachel Desfeux

Low-dimensional material can display unique physical phenomena allowing an interesting way for the development of new technologies. In addition, owing the environmental requirements about electronic devices (ferroelectric memories, M/NEMS...), new lead-free piezoelectrics need to be created. In…

Feasibility of a high bit rate power line communication between an inverter and a motor

Virginie Degardin, Khaled Kilani, Lamine Koné, M. Lienard, Pierre Degauque

In the aerospace domain, more electrical aircraft will have to face a drastic issue in the future, in relation to an increase in the number of wires and connectors, which impact weight and system reliability. A possible solution could be using power-line communications (PLC). In this paper, we…

Key parameters of silicon micropillar arrays for solar cell performance optimization

Di Zhou, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Odile Cristini, Tao Xu, Yannick Lambert, Didier Stiévenard

Surface nanostructuration is an important challenge for the optimization of light trapping design in solar cell. We present simulations of the optical properties and efficiency of nanostructured (micropilars-MPs- or nanocones-NCs-) silicon based solar cells as well as measurements of their optical…
