The reduction of parasitic recombination processes commonly occurring within the silicon crystal and at its surfaces is of primary importance in crystalline silicon devices, particularly in ...

Recently, more-than-10-year thyristors in HVDC transmission converter stations exhibit blocking capability degradation to some extent. In this letter, the degradation is analyzed from the perspective ...

Welding stainless steel makes the cleaning and passivation of the material even more critical. The heat of the process disrupts the chromium oxide layer, creating discoloration (heat tint), and ...

The proposed p-type oxide passivation significantly improves ESD reliability of GaN MIS-HEMTs compared with the conventional SiN passivated GaN MIS-HEMT. The proposed passivation suppresses the ...

Epitaxial growth of a highly strained, coherent SiGe alloy shell around a Ge nanowire core is investigated as a method to achieve surface passivation and carrier confinement, important in realizing ...

"Surface defect passivation is crucial for improving the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells," Sisi Wang, Weizhong Tian and their colleagues wrote in their paper. "However, its ...
