Graphene ink, functionalized graphene ink with 10 nm colloidal gold nanoparticles and functionalized graphene ink with a mixture of bovine serum albumin and gold nanoparticles, were applied on top of an interdigitated electrode. The I–V characteristics of such modified electrode were investigated under illumination from UV-Vis and NIR domain.

In this paper, a simple method to improve the energy capability of large DMOS transistors is proposed. The energy capability is increased by ensuring a more uniform temperature profile across the power device. This is achieved by changing the current densities inside different regions of the DMOS by means of a very simple circuit, no temperature sensors and no technological changes being required. Improvements in the energy capability of 9.2% or even 39% are observed, depending on the operating conditions. As demonstrated by measurements, this solution proves to be effective for a wide range of dissipated energies.

1100-nm InGaAs/(Al)GaAs quantum dots laser material was developed with relatively low In content of 28 % and an appropriate laser design to allow for high power applications. In comparison to a InGaAs QD laser with similar design but higher In content of 60 % the newly developed laser exhibits an improved internal quantum efficiency and temperature stability of the threshold current.

A growing need for eco-friendly energy sources have led recently to a frantic search of new compositional systems for photovoltaic applications. The nanocomposite titania-germanium (TiO2-Ge) systems represent a new viable family of optoelectronic materials. Their structural, optical and electronic properties can be easily tailored by customizing the density and size of Ge dots in the TiO2 matrix. Early studies on TiO2-Ge nanocomposites have shown promises for their use as an alternative in photovoltaic applications. In this study we report the TiO2-Ge films synthesis by reactive magnetron co-sputtering. Their properties were evaluated by compositional (EDS), structural (XRD, FTIR) and optical (UV-Vis) characterizations.

We present a simple phenomenological model for the quantum capacitance of bilayer graphene. Quantum capacitance is calculated from the broadened density of states taking into account electron-hole puddles and possible finite lifetime of electronic states through a Gaussian broadening distribution. The obtained results are in agreement with many features recently observed in quantum capacitance measurements on gated bilayer graphene. The temperature dependence of quantum capacitance is also investigated.

A new process for through-wafer interconnects was studied by our group. This new process was developed to facilitate metallised through wafer via holes manufacturing. V-shape profile can contribute to an easier metallisation process and better adhesion. Manufacturing process use the possibility to change the isotropy in the Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) equipments from anisotropic to completely isotropic. Two slightly different processes were used in order optimize the technology and to see the changes introduced by isotropic/anisotropic processes sequence.

We present dc and microwave experiments on a graphene-based top-gate field effect transistor. The transistor is acting as an active device far from the Dirac point, and turns into a passive device at the Dirac point, the transistor amplification being suppressed due to lack of carriers. In this way, microwave switches can be implemented based on the specific charge carrier transport in graphene. The maximum stable gain of the transistor is maintained up to 9 GHz, and the mobility of graphene FET is greater than 8000 cm2/Vs far from the Dirac point.
