The implanted solar cell becomes insensitive to changes in interfacial oxide, surface state densities and work function. The maximum open circuit voltage thus fabricated was 0.52 V. The short circuit current for this cell was 25 mA cm-2(without interdigitated metallization or antireflection coating). Open circuit voltage is related to the steepness of the implant doping density gradient near the metal-semiconductor interface. Thus, implantation is superior to diffusion doping in that it provides the doping density gradient of maximum steepness. Analysis shows that the range of the implant must be less than 100Å and the dosage greater than 1013cm-2to achieve maximum open circuit voltage.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116399599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sever designs used also lead to excellent gain and phase ripple performance. Polepiece designs provided with extra thermal conductive capacity and giving low transverse magnetic fields are also used in these tubes. These, and other design features leading to high-average power with good beam focusing, are discussed. Performance data, using the design features discussed, will be presented on several X-band TWTs.

The major failure mechanism is the release of nitrogen from ceramic voids during microcrack propagation.

Applications to sample and hold detection are discussed. The photodiodes, formed by implanting Be in n-type GaAsP, have high sensitivity, large dynamic range, and a 50 nanosecond rise time at zero bias.

The method employed separates the type of asymmetry from the magnitude of the asymmetry in a particular lens system, thereby greatly reducing the bulk of calculations. The software produces a graphic display of electron trajectories through the actual symmetric lens system. Additionally, coefficients are calculated which describe electron beam deflection as well as departures from the cardinal lens properties of the ideal rotationally symmetric lens system produced by the geometric asymmetry. This software package allows the designer to determine the effect of tolerance variations and other asymmetries on lens performance, thereby enabling him to determine tolerance criteria for the lens. The types of asymmetries and tolerance variations dealt with are: ellipticity, enlargement, offset and tilting of electrodes with respect to the axis of the lens system. Results predicted by the software have been experimentally verified.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122235027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
