Low-Temperature Atomic Layer Deposition of High-k SbOx for Thin Film Transistors
2022
SbOx thin films are deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using SbCl5 and Sb(NMe2)3 as antimony reactants and H2O and H2O2 as oxidizers at low temperatures. SbCl5 can react with both oxidizers, while no deposition is found to occur using Sb(NMe2)3 and H2O. For the first time, the reaction mechanism and dielectric properties of ALD-SbOx thin films are systematically studied, which exhibit a high breakdown field of ≈4 MV cm−1 and high areal capacitance ranging from 150 to 200 nF cm−2, corresponding to a dielectric constant ranging from 10 to 13. The ZnO semiconductor layer is integrated into a SbOx dielectric layer, and thin film transistors (TFTs) are successfully fabricated. A TFT with…
A Compact SPICE Model for Organic TFTs and Applications to Logic Circuit Design
2016
This work introduces a compact DC model developed for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and its SPICE implementation. The model relies on a modified version of the gradual channel approximation that takes into account the contact effects, occurring at nonohmic metal/organic semiconductor junctions, modeling them as reverse biased Schottky diodes. The model also comprises channel length modulation and scalability of drain current with respect to channel length. To show the suitability of the model, we used it to design an inverter and a ring oscillator circuit. Furthermore, an experimental validation of the OTFTs has been done at the level of the single device as well as with a discrete-…
Supramolecular self-assembly on the B-Si(111)-(√3x√3) R30° surface: From single molecules to multicomponent networks
2017
Abstract Understanding the physical and chemical processes in which local interactions lead to ordered structures is of particular relevance to the realization of supramolecular architectures on surfaces. While spectacular patterns have been demonstrated on metal surfaces, there have been fewer studies of the spontaneous organization of supramolecular networks on semiconductor surfaces, where the formation of covalent bonds between organics and adatoms usually hamper the diffusion of molecules and their subsequent interactions with each other. However, the saturation of the dangling bonds at a semiconductor surface is known to make them inert and offers a unique way for the engineering of m…
Signals of intensification and attenuation in orchestra and choir conduction
2017
Based on a model of communication according to which not only words but also body signals constitute lexicons (Poggi, 2007), the study presented aimes at building a lexicon of conductors’ multimodal behaviours requesting intensification and attenuation of sound intensity. In a corpus of concerts and rehearsals, the conductors’ body signals requesting to play or sing forte, piano, crescendo, diminuendo were analysed through an annotation scheme describing the body signals, their meanings, and their semiotic devices: generic codified (the same as in everyday language); specific codified (shared with laypeople but with specific meanings in conduction); direct iconic, (resemblance between visua…
Fabricación, caracterización estructural y óptica de capas plasmónicas y puntos cuánticos: aplicaciones
2013
En esta tesis se ha desarrollado una nueva metodología de síntesis química (sol-gel) para la fabricación in situ de nanocomposites metálicos en forma de capa delgada, compuestos por nanopartículas de Au y Ag embebidas en matrices dieléctricas sólidas de TiO2 y SiO2. Con dicha metodología se puede controlar el tamaño y el factor de llenado de las nanopartículas, que se han caracterizado mediante el uso de técnicas de microscopía electrónica (SEM, TEM, HAADF-STEM) y de caracterización de superficie (AFM). Además, se han empleado diversas técnicas para medir las propiedades ópticas de estas capas, como son la extinción, transmitancia y reflectancia, así como el índice de refracción por medio d…
[Fe(sal2-trien)][Ni(dmit)2]: towards switchable spin crossover molecular conductors
2004
A cooperative spin transition behaviour with a wide hysteresis loop (30 K) around 240 K has been observed, for the first time, in a salt based on the redox active [Ni(dmit)2]¯, anion and the [Fe(sal2-trien)]+ spin crossover cation. Real Cabezos, Jose Antonio, Jose.A.Real@uv.es
Highly efficient light-emitting electrochemical cells
2016
El consumo eléctrico destinado a iluminación supone actualmente cerca del 20% de la producción energética a nivel mundial, de modo que es posible alcanzar un importante ahorro energético mediante el uso de sistemas de iluminación más eficientes. El desarrollo tecnológico permite hacer uso de aplicaciones más eficientes y novedosos en dicho campo. Los diodos orgánicos emisores de luz (OLEDs) suponen una alternativa de futuro a los dispositivos emisores de luz actuales. El procesado de materiales orgánicos se adapta más fácilmente a nuevos diseños de dispositivos emisores de luz y es, a día de hoy, una realidad en pequeñas pantallas para dispositivos móviles o similares. Sin embargo, los OLED…
Dilemmaer i skandinavisk korlederutdanning
2021
Within higher education, programmes in choral conducting are offered of varying kinds and at different levels, from dedicated programmes to single courses that are embedded in other music programmes. The choral practice field is varied; choral leadership is partly a generic music competence and partly a profession. The variety and social reach of the choral movement suggest that the educational offering in choral conducting should be manifold in type and quantity in order to supply the practice field with qualified conductors. n this chapter we take a renewed look at material from three previous studies: (1) a mapping of Scandinavian choral leader education, based on document analysis and i…
Turning points in shaping choral conducting practice: six tales of Norwegian conductors’ professional development
2022
Based on narratives on six choral conductors’ unfolding careers, the article investigates significant moments in professional trajectories – turning points – and how these shaped ongoing practices. The empirical material comprises interviews with conductors that represent different pre-conducting platforms – musicologist, music therapist, music educator, instrumentalist, singer, and church musician. Narratives present both an ontological view of experience – lived life is told life – and a methodology where the narrative analysis is the researchers’ integral retelling of fragments and episodes provided by the informants. The article draws on sensemaking theory to understand how the conducto…
X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy at the Mn K-edge in highly homogeneous GaMnN diluted magnetic semiconductors
2006
We have studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy the local environment of Mn in highly homogeneous Ga 1-x Mn x N (0.06 <x<0.14) thin epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on [0001] SiC substrates. The measurements were performed in fluorescence mode around the Ga and Mn K-edges. In this report, we focus our attention to the X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) results. The comparison of the XANES spectra corresponding to the Ga and Mn edges indicates that Mn is substitutional to Ga in all samples studied. The XANES spectra measured at the Mn absorption edge shows in the near-edge region a double peak and a shoulder below the absorption edge and the main absorption peak after …
