A simple planar mold is used to cast PDMS around the perimeter of a single die-cut CMOS chip (5 mm x 6 mm) mounted on a standard chip package (DIL-48, 1 cm x 4 cm). The casting results in a contiguous intersection between the exposed chip surface and the co-planar PDMS that extends across the package. A microfluidic channel added to the package extends across the chip boundary, while fluid in the channel is in direct contact with the chip surface. The large platform of this chip package allows fluid connections to be located far from the chip to prevent interference with optical detection, and thin-layer PDMS microfluidics (about 350µm) created by casting are compatible with short-working-distance microscope objectives. This method requires no sophisticated chip post-processing, accommodates individual CMOS chips, and expands the footprint available for microfluidics. Temporary bonding using PDMS as adhesive allows removal of the microfluidics and recovery of the chip and planarized package. This is a simple and reversible method that is well-suited for prototyping devices using large footprint disposable fluidics and small high-value CMOS chips.","PeriodicalId":112590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131100849","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 current of illuminated photovoltaic panels and solar cells are customarily described by the single diode model, which contains a diode, a current source, a series resistance and a parallel conductance. This simple model with only 5 parameters provides reasonable accuracy. In this work, we carry out a comparative review of several parameter extraction methods using many data points, since methods based on fewer data points are more prone to measurement error. Among the methods tested in this benchmark are the implicit fitting, the direct optimization of the current (vertical fit) using the Lambert W function, and the Co-content method, which is based on fitting the integral of current with respect to voltage. We also evaluate the direct optimization of the voltage (lateral fit) using the Lambert W function. The results demonstrate that, regarding convergence reliability for a large range of initial values, the best procedure is the Co-content method, which is based on the use of a quadratic equation for fitting. We tested the different methods on the same experimental data of a solar cell as well as PV modules measured by NREL.","PeriodicalId":112590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133624749","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}
