We examine the role of charged defects in inducing degradation of electronic properties of a-Si:H upon exposure to light. We measure the kinetics of decay of photo-conductivity of a-Si:H films at different light intensities, and the corresponding changes in mid-gap optical absorption. We find that the initial, rapid decay of photo-conductivity can be modeled guite well by invoking Adler's model of conversion of charged defects to neutral dangling bonds(D- to D0 conversion). A consequence of this conversion is a decrease in sub-gap absorption upon photo-induced degradation, which we observe. Therefore, we conclude that charged defects coexist with neutral defects in a-Si:H, and they play a major role in early stages of photo-degradation.

A switch has been developed which uses a thin film of Y-Ba-Cu-O as a switching element. The two important process parameters in the fabrication of the switch - contact resistance between a metal and a superconductor and the passivation of the superconducting films by SiO2 have been studied. The thin film of superconductor is patterned into a narrow line (gate) crossed by a metal control line with a deposited SiO2 as an insulation layer between them. When the control line carries current large enough to switch the gate into the normal state the gate is in the s'off′ state. When no current is present, the gate is superconducting and it is in the s'on′ state. The operation of the device was verified by testing at 77 K. Applications of the device include amplifiers, digital logic circuits, and microwave switches.

The authors present the building blocks and design procedure necessary for creating a component-invariant second-order switched current (SI) sigma-delta modulator ( Sigma Delta M). A novel SI second-order integrator block is paramount to the design. A voiceband (4-kHz) analog-to-digital (A/D) converter was designed and laid out in Northern Telecom's 1.2- mu m CMOS process. Final transistor level simulations on the netlist derived directly from the layout indicated a resolution of only 10 b, a result of excessive charge injection and clock feedthrough. The power and area requirements of the SI design are estimated to be 0.2 mW and 0.2 mm/sup 2/, respectively.< >

Bulk InGaAsP and heterointerfaces of InP/InGaAs and InGaAsP/InGaAs have been grown by chemical beam epitaxy for use in multi-quantum well separate confinement heterostructure lasers. InGaAsP has been successfully grown for lambda = 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4-mu-m. The TMI and TEG incorporation coefficients have strong dependencies on substrate temperature and also charge as the InGaAsP composition tends towards InP. InP/InGaAs and InGaAsP/InGaAs quantum wells have been grown to determine the optimum gas switching sequence to minimize the measured photoluminescence FWHM. InGaAs quantum wells as narrow as 0.6 nm have been grown with 7K FWHM of 12.3 meV. Lattice matched MQW-SCH lasers were grown using different interface switching sequences with the best laser having a threshold current density of 792 A/cm2 for an 800 x 90-mu-m broad area device.

A variable-mesh combination of the expanded-node transmission line matrix (TLM) and finite-difference-time-domain (FD-TD) methods for solving time-domain electromagnetic problems is described. It retains the physical process of wave propagation and the numerical stability of the former and it has the computational efficiency of the latter. This full-wave finite-difference transmission line matrix (FD-TLM) method utilizes transmission lines of differing impedances to implement a three-dimensional variable mesh, which makes practical the simulation of structures having fine details, such as digital integrated circuits (ICs). Circuit models for lumped resistors, capacitors, diodes, and MESFETs have been developed and included for use in simulating digital and microwave ICs. The validity of the variable mesh implementation is verified by comparing an FD-TLM simulation of a picosecond pulse generator structure with electrooptical measurements, and the validity of the device model implementation is verified by comparing an FD-TLM simulation of a MESFET logic inverter with a SPICE simulation.
