Scaling of semiconductor devices has pushed CMOS devices close to fundamental limits. The remarkable success story of Moore's law during the last 40 years, predicting the evolution of electronic device performances related to miniaturization, has always be ...
The present doctoral thesis aims to contribute to the field of organic semiconductor physics and technology, both of which have become fast growing disciplines. Two technological applications are emerging from these research efforts: Organic light-emitting ...
Tunnelling experiments have played an essential role in the development and verification of theories for superconductivity. They are usually interpreted within the so-called semiconductor model, in which the tunnelling current is given by the convolution o ...
We describe a simple and low cost design for generating high voltage pulses using commercially available Ruhmkorff's coils. Our application is the biasing of large area photoconductive switches, used for THz generation, operating at kHz repetition rates. T ...
We present a theoretical study of the physical characteristics of metal/semiconductor junctions. Using first principle pseudopotential calculations, we have investigated the nature of electronic states with energies within the semiconductor band gap of rep ...
We present a novel semiconductor structure in which 0D polaritons coexist with 2D microcavity polaritons. Spatial trapping of the 2D microcavity polaritons results from the confinement of their photonic part in a potential well, consisting of an adjustable ...
Since the late 1960s, synchrotron-based experimental techniques have been playing a key role in semiconductor research. Major milestones include the observation of intrinsic and extrinsic surface and interface states, the study of interface formation proce ...
Data storage cells are formed on a substrate (13). Each of the data storage cells includes a field effect transistor with a source (18), drain (22) and gate (28) and a body arranged between the source and drain for storing electrical charge generated in th ...
The device has a semiconductor layer provided on an insulating layer and including source and drain (18,20) regions to define a body (22) region of respective field effect transistors. An energy band modifying unit modifies the valence and conduction band ...
Microcavity comprising two reflectors, at least one semiconductor layer separating said reflectors and a semiconductor quantum well wherein at least one of said reflectors and of said at least one semiconductor layer comprises a structure which is adjusted ...
