Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films on insulator-buffered silicon substrates with interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) have the potential to harvest more energy than parallel plate electrode (PPE) structures because the former exploit the longitudinal pie ...
Semiconductor nanowires are an emerging class of materials with great potential for applications in future electronic devices. The small footprint and the large charge-carrier mobilities of nanowires make them potentially useful for applications with high- ...
We study the influence of pump current and absorber bias voltage on the pulse width and frequency of sustained pulsation in GaN-based multisection laser diodes. The observed frequencies and pulse widths range from 1.5 to 4.5GHz and 90 to 18 ps, respectivel ...
The down-scaling of conventional MOSFETs has led to an impending power crisis, in which static power consumption is becoming too high. In order to improve the energy-efficiency of electronic circuits, small swing switches are interesting candidates to repl ...
A semiconductor device for measuring ultra low currents down to the level of single electrons or low voltages comprises a first and a second voltage supply terminal (1, 2), an input terminal (3) for receiving an electrical current or being supplied with a ...
The capability of switching the spontaneous polarisation under an applied electric field in ferroelectric materials can be exploited for the use in low power, non-volatile, re-writable memory devices. Currently available commercially is ferroelectric rando ...
The underlying physical mechanism of the so-called colossal dielectric constant phenomenon in CaCu3Ti4O12 CCTO thin films were investigated by using semiconductor theories and methods. The semiconductivity of CCTO thin films originated from the acceptor de ...
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 ...
The goal of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of charge transport in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) made of pentacene. Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with active layers thicknesses of 5, 10, 20, and 100 nm were fabricated i ...
We study the interfacial electronic properties of a model Si-SiO2-Si structure which is intended to simulate the substrate-oxide-polysilicon stack in metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. The structural properties of this model are shown to match closely thos ...
