    Notes: The mechanism of carrier transport through a thin silicon-oxide layer for 〈spray-deposited indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/silicon-oxide/Si〉 solar cells has been studied by measurements of the dark current density as a function of the thickness of the silicon-oxide layer, together with the observation of transmission electron micrographs. Cross-sectional transmission electron micrography shows that a uniform silicon-oxide layer with the thickness of ∼2 nm is present between ITO and Si when the ITO film is deposited on a flat Si(100) surface at 450 °C. The dark current density under a depletion condition strongly depends on the thickness of the silicon-oxide layer. It is concluded from these results that quantum mechanical tunneling is the dominant mechanism for the charge carrier transport through the silicon-oxide layer. On the other hand, when the ITO film is deposited on a mat-textured Si surface at the same temperature, a nonuniform silicon-oxide layer is formed, with ITO penetrating into the silicon-oxide layer in the top and valley regions of the pyramidal structure. By raising the deposition temperature of the ITO film on the flat Si(100) surface to 500 °C, the silicon-oxide layer becomes also nonuniform. For these diodes with the nonuniform silicon-oxide layer, the carrier transfer probability is less dependent on the thickness of the silicon-oxide layer, leading to the conclusion that minute channels of ITO are present in the silicon-oxide layer and charge carriers transfer through the channels. The photovoltage is decreased by the presence of the minute channels, with its magnitude depending on the density of the channels. The conversion efficiency of the 〈ITO/silicon-oxide/n-Si(100)〉 solar cells is unchanged upon illumination for 1000 h. The good cell stability is attributed to the well-crystallized ITO film which effectively suppresses diffusion of oxygen from the air and to low reactivity of ITO with Si at room temperature. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Zinc oxide (ZnO)/n-Si junction solar cells were fabricated by a spray-pyrolysis method and high short-circuit photocurrent densities and relatively high photovoltages were obtained by adjusting the conditions of the deposition and the post-deposition heat treatment. Consequently, relatively high conversion efficiencies ranging between 6.9% and 8.5% were obtained. The efficiency of the solar cells with ZnO/n-Si structure decreases slowly with time when they are kept in air in the dark because of the increase in the thickness of the silicon oxide layer between Si and the ZnO film. This degradation can be avoided by forming an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) overlayer on the ZnO film, indicating that the silicon oxide layer grows through the reaction of Si with oxygen diffusing from the atmosphere, not with ZnO. The efficiency of the ZnO/n-Si junction solar cells decreases rapidly with the illumination time. Capacitance-voltage measurements show that this degradation is caused by a decrease in the work function of the ZnO film. The decrease in the work function is caused by desorption of O−2 from the grain boundaries of the ZnO films. When incident light contains no ultraviolet (UV) component, this degradation does not occur, indicating that the desorption is caused by the acceptance of holes generated by UV light. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Aging tests were performed for InP-based laser diodes heteroepitaxially grown on Si substrates. To define the degradation mode, we studied the change in the device characteristics and electroluminescence (EL) images during the aging tests. The degradation proceeds in a mode characterized by a gradual increase in the threshold current without a change in the current–voltage characteristics. During the aging, dark spot defects (DSDs) appear in the EL images, where no defects were observed initially. However, after a certain number of DSDs are generated, no more degradation occurs in the current–light-output characteristics and EL images. The correlation of the saturation behavior between the threshold current and DSD number is quite good, and strongly suggests that the device degradation is dominated by the development of nonradiative defects in the active layer. Judging from the saturation density of DSDs, we can assume that the origin of the nonradiative defects is closely related to the dislocation that remains in the heteroepitaxial layers. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We observed the detailed behavior of electromigration-induced gaps (voids that cause an open circuit) in a submicron-wide Al line layered on a Ti/TiN conductor by in situ sideview transmission electron microscopy. Two types of gaps were observed. The first type is characterized by extensive growth, which may make the Ti/TiN shunt ineffective under use conditions. The gap causes a decrease in the Al drift velocity upstream in the electron flow. This decrease probably results from mass transport through the exposed TiN surface into the gap. The second type of gap did not grow and later healed; therefore, the shunt seems to be effective. The gap had little influence on the drift velocity. Mass was transported directly from the cathode-side Al segment through the gap to the anode-side segment. These mass transport processes may be the causes of resistance oscillation in layered lines. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

The laser has been operating for more than 7000 h. The threshold current and the slope efficiency of the laser on Si at 20 °C are 32 mA and 0.19 W/A, respectively. The maximum operation temperature is above 80 °C. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract— The effects of bluing, associated with drawing strain, on the fatigue strength of eutectoid steel wires have been investigated. The fatigue limit increases by bluing and the increase is more significant with higher drawing strain. The peak in the fatigue limit with regard to the drawing strain in the wires, at a strain of 2.5, disappears after bluing. On the other hand, in the ferritic steel wires investigated for comparison, the fatigue limit gradually increases with the drawing strain up to 7.7. Furthermore, no appreciable change in the fatigue limit due to bluing is found. Based on the results of hardness tests on fatigue specimens with- and without-bluing, it is deduced that the decrease of the fatigue limit beyond the peak drawing strain in the eutectoid steel wire can partly be attributed to insufficient locking of the high-density dislocations by solute atoms. The effect of relaxation of residual stress during bluing is also briefly discussed.

    Notes: Abstract  Recently, we reported that multi-hollow polymer particles can be prepared from carboxylated polymer particles by the stepwise alkali/acid method. In this article, an attempt was made to prepare similar particles from acid-swellable polymer particles by the stepwise treatment with acid and alkali, which was named the stepwise acid/alkali method. The acid-swellable particles were produced by emulsion terpolymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate, and dimethyl 2-amino ethyl methacrylate. The effects of initial pH value, temperature, and time in the acid and alkali treatment processes on the multi-hollow structure were examined.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of the polymer composition on the formation of multihollow structures formed within submicron-sized styrene–butyl acrylate–dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate terpolymer particles by the “acid/alkali method” proposed by the authors was examined. The cationic particles were produced by seeded emulsion terpolymerization with 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride initiator. The dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate content and the glass-transition temperature of the terpolymer greatly affected the formation of the multihollow structure.
