    Notes: Leakage currents due to thermal generation in a reverse-biased p-n junction can be accurately monitored by measuring the capacitance recovery transient of a p-n-p structure. Using this technique, it has been demonstrated that the thermal generation in the bulk depletion region of GaAs p-n junctions grown by molecular beam epitaxy can be as much as three orders of magnitude greater for samples metallized in electron-beam evaporators as compared to thermal evaporators. The increase in thermal generation rate is shown to be dependent upon the device area exposed during the evaporation, the type of metal initially evaporated onto the sample, the growth conditions during molecular beam epitaxy, and the depth of the p-n junction from the semiconductor surface.

    Notes: The fabrication and electrical performance of an all refractory, eight mask step, NbN medium scale integrated circuit process are discussed. In situ rf sputter deposited trilayers of NbN/MgO/NbN are plasma etched to fabricate Josephson junctions. A novel low temperature, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited SiO2 film is used for wiring and resistor insulation. Sputter deposited molybdenum films are used for resistors. Tunnel junctions fabricated with this process have Vm=61 mV at jc=1100 A/cm2, and Vg = 5.1–5.2 mV at 4.2 K. Critical currents are uniform to within ±3% for 101 junction strings and are within ±25% over all die on 3 in. wafers. This process has been used to fabricate 8-bit single flux quantum counter circuits, squid magnetometer circuits, 870 junction strings, and arrays of 256 squids. Preliminary circuit testing indicates operation at temperatures within the range of small closed-cycle refrigerators.

    Notes: Abstract: Incubation of 10 mM I-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) with sonicated beef heart mitochondria caused an irreversible time-dependent decrease in NADH-ubiquinone-l (CoQ1) reductase activity (52% inhibition after 1 h). Inclusion of glutathione, ascorbate, or catalase in the incubation mixture protected the NADH-CoQ1 reductase activity. These results suggest that the interaction of MPP+ with complex I induces free radical generation, which in turn leads to the irreversible inhibition of complex I activity. The generation of free radicals by neurotoxin-induced inhibition of complex I has important implications for our interpretation of the increased oxidative stress observed in Parkinson's disease substantia nigra and for our understanding of the cause(s) of dopaminergic cell death in this disorder.

    Notes: Abstract: 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is thought to produce parkinsonism in humans and other primates through its inhibition of complex I. The recent discovery of mitochondrial complex I deficiency in the substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease has provided a remarkable link between the idiopathic disease and the action of the neurotoxin MPTP. This article shows that complex I deficiency in Parkinson's disease is anatomically specific for the substantia nigra, and is not present in another neurodegenerative disorder involving the substantia nigra. Evidence is also provided to show that there is no correlation between l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine therapy and complex I deficiency. These results suggest that complex I deficiency may be the underlying cause of dopaminergic cell death in Parkinson's disease.

    Notes: Abstract: The structure and function of mitochondrial respiratory-chain enzyme proteins were studied postmortem in the substantia nigra of nine patients with Parkinson's disease and nine matched controls. Total protein and mitochondrial mass were similar in the two groups. NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) and NADH cytochrome c reductase activities were significantly reduced, whereas succinate cytochrome c reductase activity was normal. These results indicated a specific defect of Complex I activity in the substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease. This biochemical defect is the same as that produced in animal models of parkinsonism by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and adds further support to the proposition that Parkinson's disease may be due to an environmental toxin with action(s) similar to those of MPTP.

    Notes: Abstract: The mode of cell death in Parkinson's disease (PD) substantia nigra is uncertain. However, evidence is accumulating that certain of the biochemical abnormalities present in PD nigra at the time of death may precipitate apoptosis. We have investigated the mode of death induced by complex I inhibition of dopaminergic cell cultures, and our results suggest that both 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium and rotenone cause apoptosis at low concentrations and necrosis at high concentrations. This dose-dependent shift in the mode of cell death induced by these mitochondrial toxins may have important implications for the mechanism of neuronal cell death in PD.

    Notes: The low-level leakage currents in thin silicon oxide films were measured before and after the oxides had been stressed at high voltages. Four components of current were identified. These components were the tunneling current, the capacitive current associated with the measurement sweep rate, a negative differential current associated with the voltage sweep through the changing oxide C-V characteristic, and an excess current that occurred after the high-voltage stress. The excess current was due to the charging and discharging of traps generated inside of the oxide by the high-voltage stress. The excess current was proportional to the number of traps generated in the oxide. The magnitude of the excess current could be changed by changes in the measurement procedures due to the charging and discharging of traps. A major portion of the stress-generated excess low-level leakage current may not be a current that flowed through the oxide, but may be a trap charging/discharging current. This paper will concentrate on describing the low-level pretunneling leakage currents and the measurement techniques needed to determine the properties of the excess leakage currents associated with the traps generated inside of the oxide.

    Notes: N+-P gate-controlled diodes are fabricated in the wide band gap semiconductor 6H-SiC by thermal oxidation and ion implantation of nitrogen. Room temperature capacitance-voltage characteristics display a "hook and ledge'' hysteresis, which has been observed in Si gate-controlled diodes at 77 K. In these samples of p-type doping 2.8×1016 cm−3, the surface state density is about 4×1012 cm−2.

    Notes: We describe electrical measurement on exposed surfaces of n- and p-type GaAs. The n-type surface exhibits substantial electron-hole pair generation and the subsequent escape of generated holes by leakage along the surface. In contrast, the surface of p-type GaAs does not exhibit measurable leakage of minority electrons. These results are significant for all GaAs devices and circuits which are sensitive to small leakage currents, and may provide important clues to the physical and electrical nature of exposed GaAs surfaces.

    Notes: A study of reverse-bias leakage due to thermal generation in Al0.4Ga0.6As PiN junctions was conducted using the charge recovery transient technique on PiNiP storage capacitors. The relative importance of bulk generation and generation at the etched device periphery is documented, and the temperature dependence of both leakage mechanisms is presented. The experimental data suggest that the majority of bulk generation occurs at centers energetically near the middle of the band gap. In contrast, the temperature performance of the perimeter generation rate suggests that it is governed by surface states whose energy is 0.5 eV above or below midgap.
