  • In this paper the model of the MQE-IMD-based neural trigger circuit is improved, where MQW-IMD is a new semiconductor device proposed and experimentally demonstrated by the author for the hardware implementation of the neural networks. The electron energy of AlXGa1-XAsbarrier is calculated by Ensemble Monte Carlo simulation according to the variation of Al mole fraction x and the applied electric field, whtich had been roughly estimated in the previous paper because of the difficulty to get the data. And in the consideration of the tunneling of the confined electrons within the quantum well the accuracy of the impact ionization rate is enhaned. Finally, the dependance of the frequency of pulse-train on the number of quantum wells can be calculated by modelling the effect of the distance of the induced positive charge from the cathode on the electric field at the cathode.

  • Here we report an optimized hot-injection method and a phase transfer strategy for the synthesis of water-soluble $CuInS_2$ QDs with desired properties. The structure and morphology studies demonstrate that the resulting QDs are $CuInS_2$ tetragonal phase with well-defined facets. It is also found that the crystal size gradually increases with the increase of reaction temperature, while the surface of QDs with pre- and post-phase transfer is functionalized with hydrophobic and hydrophilic ligands, respectively. Spectroscopy measurements reveal the size-dependent optical properties of $CuInS_2$ QDs, demonstrating the quantum confinement effect in this system.

  • The relationship between carrier electron concentration(n) and atmosphere oxygen partial pressure($P_{O_2}$ for pure ZnO calculated by the mass-action law, well-known as n ${\propto}P^{-1/m}_{O_2}$ where m = 4 or 6 for the single or the double ionization of the native donor defects due to its nonstoichiometry, respectively, is found in competition with the calculation result on the basis that the total defect concentration is the sum of those of unionized and ionized defects. Definitively, it is found inconsistent with the calculation result by employing the Fermi-Dirac(FD) statistics for their ionization processes. By application of the FD statistics law to the ionization while assuming the defect formation is still ruled by the mass-action law, the calculation results shows the concentration is proportional to $P^{-1/2}_{O_2}$ whenever they ionize singly and/or doubly. Conclusively we would like to propose the new theoretical relation n ${\propto}P^{-1/m}_{O_2}$ because the ionization processes of donors in ZnO should be treated with the electronoccupation probability at localized quantum states in its forbidden band created by the donor defects, i.e. the FD statistics

  • We have developed a new way of the constant growth technique to maintain a grating height of originally-etched V-groove of submicron gratings up to 1.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness by a low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The constant growth technique is well performed on two kinds of submicron gratings that made by holography and electron (e)-beam lithography GaAs buffer layer grown on thermally deformed submicron gratings has an important role in recovering the deformed grating profile from sinusoidal to V-shaped by reducing mass transport effects. The thermal deformation effect on submicron gratings made by e-beam lithography is less than that on submicron gratings made by holography. The constant growth technique is an important step to realize complex optoelectronic devices such as one-step grown distributed feedback lasers and two-dimensional photonic crystals.

  • Perturbation thorpe for quantum mechanics is extended to the derivation of a power equation for microwave propagation in a rectangular waveguiad filled with N-type silicon which is transversely magnetized. This approximation evolves in a unified manner from the eigenvalue formulation of maxwell's equation wherein the wave numbers are tthe eigenvalues of a linear operator. TE10 wave at 9.61GHz is employed for the experimental investigation of the microwave propagation through a transversely magnetized semiconductor. Results from first order perturbation agree well with the experiment where the bridge method using two Magic Tees is employed.

  • The room temperature optical transmission spectra of GaN /InGaN/GaN single quantum wells (SQW) and InGaN/GaN heterostructures grwon by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition have been measured. The dependence of the absorption edges of the GaN/InGaN/GaN SQW on the well width has been determined from the transmission spectra. The result shows that the absorption edge of GaN/InGaN/GaN SQW shifts towards lower energy as increasing the well width. The dependence of the absorption edges of the InGaN/GaN heterostructures on InN mole fraction has also been determined from the transmission spectra. The result is compared with calculated values obtained from Vegards's laws. Our result shows a good agreement with the calculated values.

  • In this study, we investigated the effect of a sulfur passivation (S-passivation) process step on the electrical properties of surface-channel In0.7Ga0.3As quantum-well (QW) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with S/D regrowth contacts. We fabricated long-channel In0.7Ga0.3As QW MOSFETs with and without (NH4)2S treatment and then deposited 1/4 nm of Al2O3/HfO2 through atomic layer deposition. The devices with S-passivation exhibited lower values of subthreshold swing (74 mV/decade) and drain-induced barrier lowering (19 mV/V) than the devices without S-passivation. A conductance method was applied, and a low value of interface trap density Dit (2.83×1012 cm-2eV-1) was obtained for the devices with S-passivation. Based on these results, interface traps between InGaAs and high-κ are other defect sources that need to be considered in future studies to improve III-V microsensor sensing platforms.
