We presented the novel structure of the solar cell that has the metal-Insulator-semiconductor (MIS) diode at the side wall of the electricity generation layer. It is found that the gate voltage is effective to improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell with large surface recombination velocities.

We report the postgrowth annealing effects on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of a low-temperature grown β-phase MoO3 film on a c-plane sapphire substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. By employing the postgrowth annealing at 600°C in an oxygen atmosphere, the film was completely transformed from β-phase to thermo-dynamically stable α-phase. On the other hand, oxygen deficient MoO3-x domains were introduced into the film by the annealing at the same temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere. The latter film exhibited a high absorbance in a visible region accompanied by a decrease in resistivity.

The carrier behavior in DNA was examined using the DNA channel/SiO2/Si gate structure. The source/drain electrodes with a gap of 120 nm etching a SOI film was prepared and DNA was fixed between the electrodes. The dID/dVD shows the maximum value at the drain voltage of 0.3 V. This phenomenon relates to the trapped and detrapped electrons in DNA. The electrons were trapped by guanine-base, and they were detrapped by the electric field in the channel.

We have developed a prototype of battery-powered implantable image sensor unit and successfully demonstrated its operation in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution as simulant body solution. We have also proposed its equivalent circuit model for circuit simulation. The transmitted signal waveforms are in good agreement with the simulation result by using the model. The images taken by the implantable image sensor has been recovered from the signal received outside PBS solution.

The characteristics of polymer photodetectors using Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) electrode modified by phosphonic acid-based self-assembled monolayer treatment in a short time are investigated. A polymer photodetector based on a blend of a donor, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and an acceptor, fullerene derivative [6-6]phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) with GZO modified by 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzylphosphonic acid (FBPA) exhibits incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of approximately 55% at -2 V under green light irradiation (λ = 500 nm). The characteristics of the device with GZO modified by FBPA treatment are improved. For the P3HT:PCBM device with FBPA, the dark current decreases, which results in the improved photodetector detectivity.

Effects of annealing on GaAs/Si bonding interfaces of III-V-on-Si hybrid tandem solar cells were investigated. Using a cross sectional transmission electron microscope, an amorphous layer was observed at the interfaces of GaAs/Si junctions that had been fabricated by the surface active bonding method. The amorphous layer vanished after the annealing at 400°C. We also investigated the effects of the annealing on the current-voltage characteristics of n+-GaAs/n++-Si and p+-GaAs/n++-Si junctions.

An MOD-made BaTiO3 (BT) thin film was prepared for investigating the relation between its ferroelectric properties and the behavior of resistive hysteresis. For the ferroelectric 110 nm-thickness BT film, its coercive field is observed to relate quantitatively to the characteristics of resistive hysteresis, where the current on/off ratio is obtained as 1-2 orders of magnitude. We consider that the ferroelectricity in the film makes a different type of behavior in resistive hysteresis and is effective for improving the behavior.

We investigate the mechanism of off-leakage current in InGaZnO thin-film transistors using a two dimensional device simulator. In order to reproduce the magnitude of experimental data, deep donor-like trap states probably originating from the oxygen vacancies are introduced in IGZO channel, which significantly affect the off-leakage current. It is shown that the pinning effect of the channel potential causes the plateau behavior of Id-Vg characteristics in off-state region, depending on the amount and depth of the deep states.

The conduction-type dependent thermal oxidation rate in SiC was discovered. The oxidation was performed for SiC(0001) with nitrogen doping (n-type) in the range from 2.0×1016 cm-3 to 1.0×1019 cm-3, and aluminum doping (p-type) in the range from 2.0×1015 cm-3 to 1.0×1019 cm-3, exhibiting a clear dependence. For n-type SiC the oxide thickness increases for higher doping density, and for p-type the thickness decreases. Note that in the case of Si oxidation, there exists very little difference of oxidation rate between the conduction types in such low doping density, and the dependence is peculiar to SiC. The authors speculate the difference originates from the difference in carrier (electron/hole) density during the oxidation, which can reasonably explain the difference in the oxidation rate between Si and SiC.
