Polarization-enhanced GaN Schottky barrier diodes: Ultra-thin InGaN for high breakdown voltage and low Ron

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Alessandro Floriduz, Zheng Hao

In this work, we present a concept that leverages the strong piezoelectric polarization field in InGaN, which counteracts the external electric field at reverse bias. We show that despite the smaller InGaN band-gap and lower critical electric field, its st ...

We present a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) developed in 55 nm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology, which achieves high photon detection probability (PDP) while its breakdown voltage is lower than 20 V. To enhance the PDP performance, the SPAD junctio ...

Electrode Impact on the Electrical Breakdown of Dielectric Elastomer Thin Films

Herbert Shea, Fabio Beco Albuquerque

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) enable the realization of energy-efficient and compact actuator systems. DEAs operate at the kilovolt range with typically microampere-level currents and hence minimize thermal losses in comparison to low voltage/high ...

Positive Streamer Initiation in SF6/CO2 Based on Zener's Field Ionization

Guang-Yu Sun

In this study, experiments were performed to measure the inception and breakdown voltages of SF6/CO2 mixed gases with varying mixing ratios at two different pressures (1 and 2 bar). Using the preliminary data obtained from the experiments, a 3D particle mo ...

To cope with the challenging environment of the planned high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), scheduled to start operation in 2029, CMS will replace its entire tracking system. The requirements for the tracker are largely determine ...

Elastomer composites are prepared by infiltrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into a porous ceramic structure of nanoparticles. This method differs from the conventional approach, where particles are dispersed into the polymer matrix, since here, the polym ...

In this work, we propose a simple and yet accurate physical model to describe the figures-of-merit (FOMs) of lateral GaN power devices. While the performance limit of vertical devices is well understood, the FOMs of lateral devices are not properly describ ...

High-Performance Enhancement-Mode AlGaN/GaN Multi-Channel Power Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Halil Kerim Yildirim, Jun Ma, Luca Nela, Catherine Erine

AlGaN/GaN devices have shown outstanding potential for power conversion applications. However, despite the recent progress, their performance is still far from what the material can offer in terms of on-resistance and breakdown voltage. To address this cha ...
