Heat treatment in liquid water at 80°C well passivated the surfaces of 20-Ωcm p-type crystalline silicon substrate and a high photo-induced minority carrier lifetime, τeff of 4.0×10−5 s was obtained. 100-nm-thick SiO2 layers were formed on the liquid water passivated surfaces at 300°C by the plasma chemical vapor deposition method to form the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure. The MOS samples were subsequently annealed at 300°C for 1 h. The high frequency capacitance response with the bias voltage (C-V) measurement resulted in a threshold voltage, a density of interface defects, and a density of fixed charge as −0.35 V, 2.2×1011 cm−2eV−1, and 1.1×1011 cm−2, respectively, while they were −9.7 V, 1.4×1012 cm−2eV−1, and 2.3×1012 cm−2 in the case of no liquid water heat treatment.

This paper presents a rational method for doping π-electronic materials including carbon nanotube (CNT) films, and its application in the fabrication of thermoelectric power generators. Particularly, n-type doping developed here enables the unprecedented stabilization of n-type CNTs, which is beneficial for the development of tough and flexible thermoelectric generators. At the same time, the present methodology with structure-specific CNTs is used for the investigation of thermoelectric transport in one-dimensional semiconductors

Potential induced degradation (PID) is an undesirable phenomenon in crystalline Si photovoltaic (PV) modules, since it causes a performance loss in the PV modules. Meanwhile, PV systems installed in the large open-area have a possibility to be exposed to lightning strike, however there were few studies about effects of lightning strike on crystalline Si PV modules. In this study, we focused on effect of lightning impulse voltage on PID in crystalline Si PV modules. Lightning strike was simulated by a high impulse voltage generator. To reveal the effects of impulse voltage on PID in the modules, several investigations were used such as dark current-voltage measurement, electroluminescence image, and leakage current measurement. As a result, the lightning impulse voltages (−20 kV, −40kV, and +20 kV) completely accelerated the PID in the crystalline Si PV modules.

We present recent developments on flexible a-IGZO TFT technology scaling in terms of TFT channel length and operating voltage, as well as manufacturing cost optimization with a focus on R2R processing compatibility. We present progress on the relevant technology building blocks; (i) R2R compatible TFT architecture, (ii) (multilevel) nanoimprint lithography and (iii) S-ALD deposited TFT materials. Additionally, we show a developing application that drives scaling of the technology, namely a monolithically integrated flexible AMOLED display with in-display fingerprint detection.

Variable Resistive Memorys (VRMs) are promising devices with many advantages such as simple structure, high speed, etc. Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS) thin films have been used for many electric devices. In this presentation, we propose a new AOS, Ga-Sn-O (GTO) thin film for a VRM. We fabricated the VRM active layer using GTO and electrodes using aluminum. The Al/GTO/Al cell VRM showed the bipolar switching characteristic of a switching voltage (~2.0 V), ON/OFF ratio ~10) and reproducibility (~50).

To ensure end-user readability, displays exposed to sunlight need special surface treatments. Especially in automotive applications, rough antiglare (AG) surface treatments are applied to the top surface. However, a rough surface on top of a brilliant display has a direct impact on its image quality. Carefully designing the AG surface allows a compromise between reflection suppression and image quality. One of the undesired effects is the so-called “visual sparkling”, where the displayed image appears to show an uneven luminance distribution especially in areas where solid colors are shown. This effect itself is quite subjective for that it is necessary to quantify it in a reproducible way. In this work, we present a simple yet effective method for characterization of the sparkle effect based on the evaluation of image uniformity with help of grey-value histogram extraction and fitting with a simple normal distribution.

Neural networks are information processing models based on the human brain, and they have been activity studied. However, in order to realize the hardware of the neural network, it is necessary to achieve high integration. In this study, we fabricated synapses for neural networks using the Ga-Sn-O (GTO) thin films, which is rare-metal-free amorphous oxide semiconductor. This synapse was a planar type and found to have degradation characteristics applicable to modified Hebb's learning rule. We used this result to deposit the GTO thin film on LSI surface. By considering the LSI as a neuron, it was possible to satisfy the relation between the synapse and the neuron, and as a result, a simple neural network could be constructed. Finally, we succeeded in character learning experiment using it

This report shows that an amorphous a-InGaZnO (IGZO) thin film transistor (TFT) can control the threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) without thermal annealing process when depositing a-IGZO using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) sputtering system. A two layer a-IGZO TFT with controlled oxygen concentrations was fabricated using the ICP sputtering system developed for high density thin film deposition. As a result of evaluation of TFT characteristics, a-IGZO TFTs with changed $V_{th}$ could be fabricated without a thermal annealing process.

We characterize poly-Si thin films doped by KrF excimer laser irradiation with a phosphoric-acid coating. In this method, implantation and dopant activation can be performed simultaneously without damage of the poly-Si crystallization. After the laser doping, the mobility, carrier concentration, activation ratio, and resistivity of poly-Si were 61 cm2/Vs, 1.5×1018 cm−3, 14.6 %, and 0.08 Ω.cm, respectively.
