Flat Panel Light Source with Lateral Gate Structure Based on SiC Nanowire Field Emitters.

ABSTRACT: A field-emission light source with high luminance, excellent luminance uniformity, and tunable luminance characteristics with a novel lateral-gate structure is demonstrated. The lateral-gate triode structure comprises SiC nanowire emitters on a Ag cathode electrode and a pair of Ag gate electrodes placed laterally on both sides of the cathode. The simple and cost-effective screen printing technique is employed to pattern the lateral-gates and cathode structure on soda lime glass. The area coverage of the screen-printed cathode and gates on the glass substrate (area: 6 × 8 cm(2)) is in the range of 2.04% - 4.74% depending on the set of cathode-gate electrodes on the substrate. The lateral-gate structure with its small area coverage exhibits a two-dimensional luminance pattern with high brightness and good luminance uniformity. A maximum luminance of 10,952 cd/cm(2) and a luminance uniformity of >90% can be achieved with a gate voltage of 500 V and an anode voltage of 4000 V, with an anode current of 1.44 mA and current leakage to the gate from the cathode of about 10%.

Coplanar-gate ZnO nanowire field emitter arrays with enhanced gate-control performance using a ring-shaped cathode.

Project description:Nanowire field emitters have great potential for use as large-area gated field emitter arrays (FEAs). However, the micrometer-scale cathode patterns in gated FEA devices will reduce regulation of the gate voltage and limit the field emission currents of these devices as a result of field-screening effect among the neighboring nanowires. In this article, a ring-shaped ZnO nanowire pad is proposed to overcome this problem. Diode measurements show that the prepared ring-shaped ZnO nanowire pad arrays shows uniform emission with a turn-on field of 5.9 V/µm and a field emission current density of 4.6 mA/cm2 under an applied field of 9 V/µm. The ZnO nanowire pad arrays were integrated into coplanar-gate FEAs and enhanced gate-controlled device characteristics were obtained. The gate-controlled capability was studied via microscopic in-situ measurements of the field emission from the ZnO nanowires in the coplanar-gate FEAs. Based on the results of both simulations and experiments, we attributed the enhanced gate-controlled device capabilities to more efficient emission of electrons from the ZnO nanowires as a result of the increase edge area by designing ring-shaped ZnO nanowire pad. The results are important to the realization of large-area gate-controlled FEAs based on nanowire emitters for use in vacuum electronic devices.

Highly gate-tuneable Rashba spin-orbit interaction in a gate-all-around InAs nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor.

Project description:III-V semiconductors have been intensively studied with the goal of realizing metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with high mobility, a high on-off ratio, and low power consumption as next-generation transistors designed to replace current Si technology. Of these semiconductors, a narrow band-gap semiconductor InAs has strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction, thus making it advantageous in terms of both high field-effect transistor (FET) performance and efficient spin control. Here we report a high-performance InAs nanowire MOSFET with a gate-all-around (GAA) structure, where we simultaneously control the spin precession using the Rashba interaction. Our FET has a high on-off ratio (104~106) and a high field-effect mobility (1200?cm2/Vs) and both values are comparable to those of previously reported nanowire FETs. Simultaneously, GAA geometry combined with high- ? dielectric enables the creation of a large and uniform coaxial electric field (>107?V/m), thereby achieving highly controllable Rashba coupling (1?×?10-11?eVm within a gate-voltage swing of 1?V), i.e. an operation voltage one order of magnitude smaller than those of back-gated nanowire MOSFETs. Our demonstration of high FET performance and spin controllability offers a new way of realizing low-power consumption nanoscale spin MOSFETs.

High Performance Field Emitters.

Project description:The field electron emission performance of bulk, 1D, and 2D nanomaterials is here empirically compared in the largest metal-analysis of its type. No clear trends are noted between the turn-on electric field and maximum current density as a function of emitter work function, while a more pronounced correlation with the emitters dimensionality is noted. The turn-on field is found to be twice as large for bulk materials compared to 1D and 2D materials, empirically confirming the wider communities view that high aspect ratios, and highly perturbed surface morphologies allow for enhanced field electron emitters.

Multipolar radiation of quantum emitters with nanowire optical antennas.

Project description:Multipolar transitions other than electric dipoles are generally too weak to be observed at optical frequencies in single quantum emitters. For example, fluorescent molecules and quantum dots have dimensions much smaller than the wavelength of light and therefore emit predominantly as electric dipoles. Here we demonstrate controlled emission of a quantum dot into multipolar radiation through selective coupling to a linear nanowire antenna. The antenna resonance tailors the interaction of the quantum dot with light, effectively creating a hybrid nanoscale source beyond the simple Hertz dipole. Our findings establish a basis for the controlled driving of fundamental modes in nanoantennas and metamaterials, for the understanding of the coupling of quantum emitters to nanophotonic devices such as waveguides and nanolasers, and for the development of innovative quantum nano-optics components with properties not found in nature.

Silicon nanowire and carbon nanotube hybrid for room temperature multiwavelength light source.

Project description:The realization of an innovative hybrid light source operating at room temperature, obtained by embedding a carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersion inside a Si nanowire (NW) array is reported. The NW/CNT system exhibits a peculiar photoluminescence spectrum, consisting of a wide peak, mainly observed in the visible range, due to quantum confined Si NWs, and of several narrower IR peaks, due to the different CNT chiralities present in the dispersion. The detailed study of the optical properties of the hybrid system evidences that the ratio between the intensity of the visible and the IR emissions can be varied within a wide range by changing the excitation wavelength or the CNT concentration; the conditions leading to the prevalence of one signal with respect to the other are identified. The multiplicity of emission spectra obtainable from this composite material opens new perspectives for Si nanostructures as active medium in light sources for Si photonics applications.

Graphene/ZnO Nanowire/p-GaN Vertical Junction for a High-Performance Nanoscale Light Source.

Project description:We report on a high-brightness ultraviolet (UV) nanoscale light source. The light emission diodes are constructed with graphene/ZnO nanowire/p-GaN vertical junctions, which exhibit strong UV electroluminescence (EL) emissions centered at a wavelength of 397 nm at one end of the ZnO nanowire. Compared to the horizontal heterojunction, the vertical junction based on the ZnO nanowire increases the interface area of the heterojunction along with a high-quality interface, thus making the device robust under a large excitation current. In this structure, transparent flexible graphene is used as the top electrode, which can effectively improve performance by increasing the carrier injection area. Moreover, by analyzing the relationship between the integrated light intensity and applied bias, a superlinear dependency with a slope of 3.99 is observed, which means high electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency. Three electron-hole irradiation recombination processes are distinguished according to the EL emission spectra.

Effects of Recessed-Gate Structure on AlGaN/GaN-on-SiC MIS-HEMTs with Thin AlOxNy MIS Gate.

Project description:This study investigated the effects of a thin aluminum oxynitride (AlOxNy) gate insulator on the electrical characteristics of AlGaN/GaN-on-SiC metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs). The fabricated AlGaN/GaN-on-SiC MIS-HEMTs exhibited a significant reduction in gate leakage and off-state drain currents in comparison with the conventional Schottky-gate HEMTs, thus enhancing the breakdown voltage. The effects of gate recess were also investigated while using recessed MIS-HEMT configuration. The Johnson's figures of merit (= fT × BVgd) for the fabricated MIS-HEMTs were found to be in the range of 5.57 to 10.76 THz·V, which is the state-of-the-art values for GaN-based HEMTs without a field plate. Various characterization methods were used to investigate the quality of the MIS and the recessed MIS interface.

High-speed graphene transistors with a self-aligned nanowire gate.

Project description:Graphene has attracted considerable interest as a potential new electronic material. With its high carrier mobility, graphene is of particular interest for ultrahigh-speed radio-frequency electronics. However, conventional device fabrication processes cannot readily be applied to produce high-speed graphene transistors because they often introduce significant defects into the monolayer of carbon lattices and severely degrade the device performance. Here we report an approach to the fabrication of high-speed graphene transistors with a self-aligned nanowire gate to prevent such degradation. A Co(2)Si-Al(2)O(3) core-shell nanowire is used as the gate, with the source and drain electrodes defined through a self-alignment process and the channel length defined by the nanowire diameter. The physical assembly of the nanowire gate preserves the high carrier mobility in graphene, and the self-alignment process ensures that the edges of the source, drain and gate electrodes are automatically and precisely positioned so that no overlapping or significant gaps exist between these electrodes, thus minimizing access resistance. It therefore allows for transistor performance not previously possible. Graphene transistors with a channel length as low as 140?nm have been fabricated with the highest scaled on-current (3.32?mA??m(-1)) and transconductance (1.27?mS??m(-1)) reported so far. Significantly, on-chip microwave measurements demonstrate that the self-aligned devices have a high intrinsic cut-off (transit) frequency of f(T) = 100-300?GHz, with the extrinsic f(T) (in the range of a few gigahertz) largely limited by parasitic pad capacitance. The reported intrinsic f(T) of the graphene transistors is comparable to that of the very best high-electron-mobility transistors with similar gate lengths.

Flat-panel detectors: how much better are they?

Project description:Interventional and fluoroscopic imaging procedures for pediatric patients are becoming more prevalent because of the less-invasive nature of these procedures compared to alternatives such as surgery. Flat-panel X-ray detectors (FPD) for fluoroscopy are a new technology alternative to the image intensifier/TV (II/TV) digital system that has been in use for more than two decades. Two major FPD technologies have been implemented, based on indirect conversion of X-rays to light (using an X-ray scintillator) and then to proportional charge (using a photodiode), or direct conversion of X-rays into charge (using a semiconductor material) for signal acquisition and digitization. These detectors have proved very successful for high-exposure interventional procedures but lack the image quality of the II/TV system at the lowest exposure levels common in fluoroscopy. The benefits for FPD image quality include lack of geometric distortion, little or no veiling glare, a uniform response across the field-of-view, and improved ergonomics with better patient access. Better detective quantum efficiency indicates the possibility of reducing the patient dose in accordance with ALARA principles. However, first-generation FPD devices have been implemented with less than adequate acquisition flexibility (e.g., lack of tableside controls/information, inability to easily change protocols) and the presence of residual signals from previous exposures, and additional cost of equipment and long-term maintenance have been serious impediments to purchase and implementation. Technological advances of second generation and future hybrid FPD systems should solve many current issues. The answer to the question "how much better are they?" is "significantly better", and they are certainly worth consideration for replacement or new implementation of an imaging suite for pediatric fluoroscopy.
