Two dimensional spice simulation of thin film solar panels, including shunt induced variability, and partial shadow effects

Interface structure and surface morphology of (Co, Fe, Ni)/Cu/Si(100) thin films

07 Oct 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): Brian Demczyk

We have examined bilayer Co/Cu, Fe/Cu, and Ni/Cu films deposited by molecular-beam epitaxy on hydrogen-terminated @100# silicon substrates. Coauthors: V.M. Naik, A. Lukaszew, R. Naik, G. W. Auner

Theory and characterization of random defect formation and its implication in variability of nanoscale transistors

26 Sep 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): Ahmad Ehteshamul Islam

Over the last 50 years, carrier transport has been the central research topic in the semiconductor area. The outcome was a dramatic improvement in the performance of a transistor, which is one of the basic building blocks in almost all the modern electronic devices. However, nanoscale dimensions of …
