We present a flexible, simple, and cost effective approach for generating high-quality multiple focal spots in the far field using composite spiral zone plates (SZPs), which serve as a synthesis of two SZPs with different topological charges. By changing the topological charges of the SZPs can obtain different types of nmltiple focal spots. The numerical solution, fabrication method, and experimental results are presented to prove the capabilities of this approach.

We investigate the temperature dependence of current-voltage and spectral response characteristics of a 4H-SiC metal-semicon-ductor-metal (MSM) ultraviolet photodetector in the temperature range from room temperature to 800 K with two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulator ISE-DESSIS. It is found that the dark current and photocurrent increase with the increasing temperature. For the range of 500-800 K, the dark current increases by nearly a factor 3.5 every 150 K larger than that of photocurrent, leading to a negative effect on photodetector current ratio (PDCR). Nevertheless, the PDCR is still greater than 200 even at 800 K, which exhibits the excellent thermal stability. In addition, the responsivity has an unsymmetrical trend. As temperature rises, it is clear that a remarkable red-shift of 12 nm occurs and overall responsivity is enhanced for longer wavelength. While the short-wave-length response remains relatively independent of temperature. The mechanism of indirect and direct band absorption transition is responsible for temperature-dependent spectrum distribution. These findings provide a significant insight on the design of the MSM detector operated at elevated temperature.

Bistable mechanisms are very appealing in the design of valves,switches and actuators. By utilizing the nonlinear magnetic structure and elastic cantilevers,a novel bistable mechanism was designed. Based on the magnetic charge model and material mechanics theory,the nonlinear force during the snap-through procedure was calculated accurately,which is in accordance with that obtained by the experiments. In addition,the bistable characteristics including the threshold snapping force,the traveling range,and stable positions can be adjusted by changing the structure parameters and the relative distance among the magnets. The dynamic analysis shows that the bistable structure has a good frequency distinguishing capacity for mechanical shock pulses.

Summary form only given. A novel radio frequency (rf) dielectric barrier glow discharge plasma (DBGD) was utilized to evaluate the AZ9912 photoresist (PR) stripping effect. Argon (Ar) and oxygen (O2) were employed as working gases and ignited under atmospheric pressure. The discharge power efficiency was calculated based on the Lissajous plot and could reach to 80%. Compared to rf atmospheric glow discharges generated with bare electrodes, the DBGD remains stable and uniform over a larger current. Time dependant dielectric breakdown (TDDB) testing was conducted to evaluate the reliability of gate oxide on MOS capacitors. The surface of the etched PR was characterized using optical microscope and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results showed that there were no visible residues and plasma-induced ion bombardment damage left on the surface. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) was also used to study the working species during the stripping process and the results showed that the possible useful active species belong to the atomic O and OH radical.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films as a new strain-capping material with compressive stress up to 12GPa for strained silicon technology were fabricated by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition system. The films’ compositions and bonding structures were characterized using multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy. The relationship between intrinsic stress and G peak dispersion of the films’ Raman spectra were discussed. The results showed that the bias voltage applied to substrate during deposition determines films’ sp3 bonding content and intrinsic stress. Process compatibility of the DLC films with standard CMOS technology was confirmed by using WDXRF measurement. Also diffusion behavior of carbon atoms in DLC films with copper and silicon was studied with a Cu(200nm)/DLC(40nm)/silicon multilayer structure annealed at 500℃ in N2 atmosphere for an hour. At last, stress induced on silicon surface by DLC strips was characterized using surface sensitive UV-Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that DLC films with extremely high compressive stress have potential application in future CMOS strain engineering.

A Ku-band power amplifier is successfully developed with an internal-matched single chip 6mm AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). LCL network together with microstrip circuits are used to directly match the impedance of the 6mm GaN HEMTs to 50Ohm without using power combiner. Under the pulsed condition (100μs, 10%), the developed GaN HEMTs power amplifier delivers a 22W saturated output power with 7.6dB linear gain and 26.8% maximum power-added efficiency (PAE) with a drain voltage of 32V and at the frequency of 13.7GHz. To our best knowledge, the achieved high performance power amplifier is the state-of-the-art result ever reported for internal-matched 6mm gate width single chip GaN-based hybrid microwave integrated power amplifier at Ku-band.

Fermi level pinning(FLP) and dipole formation in TiN/HfO/SiO/Si stacks are investigated. The magnitude of FLP at Ti N/HfO interface is estimated to be V based on dipole theory using concepts of interfacial gap states and charge neutrality level(CNL). The dipole amount at HfO/SiO interface is experimentally extracted to be +0.33 V. These results show that dipole formation at HfO/SiO interface is important for tuning flatband voltage of the TiN/HfO/SiO/Si stacks. Possible origin of dipole formation is demonstrated and attributed to be lower CNL of HfO compared with that of SiO/Si stacks.
