Investigations on the mechanical properties of the elementary thin films composing a CuIn1−xGaxSe2 solar cell using the nano indentation technique.

Hocine Abib, Alain Iost, Alex Montagne, Khadidja Rahmoun, Boubakeur Ayachi, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

The aim of this work is to assess the mechanical properties of the different layers composing a CIGS based solar cell. Fabrication uses the magnetron sputtering deposition technique (except for the CdS layer which was deposited using chemical bath deposition process). We performed several…

Deep Trench Isolation and Through Silicon Via Wetting Characterization by High-Frequency Acoustic Reflectometry

Christophe Virgilio, Lucile Broussous, Philippe Garnier, Julien Carlier, Pierre Campistron, V. Thomy, Malika Toubal, Pascal Besson, Laurence Gabette, Bertrand Nongaillard

Wetting efficiency of microstructures or nanostructures patterned on Si wafers is a real concern in integrated circuits manufacturing. We present here a high-frequency acoustic method which enables the local determination of the wetting state of a liquid on real DTI and TSV structures. Partial…

Growth of c -Axis-Oriented BiCuSeO Thin Films Directly on Si Wafers

Xiaolin Wu, Linjie Gao, Pascal Roussel, El Hadj Dogheche, Jianglong Wang, Guangsheng Fu, Shufang Wang

Single-phase, c-axis-oriented BiCuSeO thin films have been directly grown on the commercial silicon (001) wafers without any surface pretreatment by using pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction pole figure confirms that the film does not have any ab-plane texture, whereas cross-sectional…

Improved Performance of YIG (Y₃Fe₅O₁₂) Films Grown on Pt-Buffered Si Substrates by Chemical Solution Deposition Technique

Xin Guo, Ying Chen, Genshui Wang, Jun Ge, Yuanyuan Zhang, Xiaodong Tang, Freddy Ponchel, Denis Remiens, Xianlin Dong

High-quality Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films with crack-free surface and improved magnetic performance were grown on platinum (Pt)-buffered Si substrates by chemical solution deposition technique. The saturation magnetization of obtained YIG films can reach 124 emu/cm3, which was the 88%…

Personal radio-frequency exposimeters in indoor diffuse environments: Measurement and simulation

Reza Aminzadeh, Arno Thielens, Aliou Bamba, Lamine Kone, Davy Gaillot, M. Lienard, Luc Martens, Wout Joseph

The response of personal exposimeters (PEMs) is studied under diffuse field exposure in indoor environments. A numerical model and a setup for on-body calibration measurements in a reverberation chamber (RC) is proposed for 897–5500 MHz. The proposed numerical simulations are in good agreement with…

Development of a patch antenna based on a Polyaniline/Carbon coated Cobalt composite

Z. Hamouda, J.-L. Wojkiewicz, A.A. Pud, Lamine Kone, C. Hamouda, S. Bergheul, T. Lasri

In this study, a patch antenna including a thick film made of a composite material based on Polyaniline (PANI) and Carbon coated Cobalt (CCo) is investigated. Conception, simulation, realization and characterization steps are presented. The morphology of the obtained composite was studied via…

Enhanced ultraviolet luminescence of ZnO nanorods treated by high-pressure water vapor annealing (HWA)

Amer Al-Nafiey, Brigitte Sieber, B. Gelloz, Ahmed Addad, M. Moreau, Julien Barjon, Maria Girleanu, Ovidiu Ersen, Rabah Boukherroub

Zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs), synthesized by a low temperature chemical method, were postannealed at 260°C in air and under high pressure water vapor (HWA) at 1.3-3.9 MPa. We found that the UV luminescence intensity increased by a factor of 2-3 after HWA annealing compared to that observed after…

65 nm SOI CMOS 60 GHz passive mixer for six-port technology

Kamel Haddadi, Christophe Loyez

This work describes the design and measurements of a 60 GHz passive mixer for six-port applications operating and implemented in a 65nm SOI CMOS technology. The mixer topology, consisting only of a n-MOS cold-FET and CPW transmission line matching networks, avoids the use of coupler in front of the…
