These oxide layers have different work functions (WFs) due to their distinct chemical bonding. Subsequently, these layers are stacked together to form a form-free one-selector and one-resistor (1S1R) structure. This structure comprises Pt/V/LZO:SiC2 (buffer layer)/LZO:SiC1 (oxide layer)/TiN. Notably, this marks the first successful production of a ZnO-based 1S1R structure using this method. In our experiments, we observed that this novel structure significantly enhances I–V nonlinearity, increasing it from the initial value of 2.14–62. Furthermore, according to our calculations, the optimal array size has substantially increased from the original 4 bits to over 2500 bits, indicating the enormous potential of this technology for high-density memory applications. Building on these results, we further utilized photomask manufacturing technology to successfully create a <inline-formula> <tex-math>$16times 16~1$ </tex-math></inline-formula>S1R resistive random access memory (RRAM) crossbar array. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of applying a ZnO-based 1S1R structure to a crossbar array. This study not only demonstrates the feasibility of ZnO-based 1S1R structures but also opens new directions for future applications in high-performance memory technologies. Our findings showcase the potential advantages of this technology and provide a solid foundation for further technological development and practical applications.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 4","pages":"1702-1708"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current defect analysis methods for III-V compound MJSCs are limited by a lack of intuitive tools and in-depth understanding, hindering improvements in yield and efficiency. Absolute electroluminescence (EL) is a powerful technique for visualization and predicting solar cell performance. In this study, we applied absolute EL to quantify performance and degradation mechanisms in subcells after 26 months of storage. Absolute EL imaging identified both potential and inherent defect types within the subcells. The detailed analysis of localized defect points showed reduced photon emission near the defect points. Using the reciprocity theorem and carrier balance model, we found that degradation in the InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs solar cell resulted in a 0.8% reduction in efficiency, largely due to nonradiative recombination (NR) losses. Additionally, the efficiencies of top, middle, and bottom cells decreased by reduced by 0.3%, 0.2%, and 0.3%, respectively. This work demonstrates that the absolute EL imaging technique provides a comprehensive and detailed method for understanding defects and energy losses during long-term storage in MJSC.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 4","pages":"1857-1863"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we demonstrate a novel fabrication method using gold as a mask for patterning and etching, which protects 2-D materials from contamination of polymeric photoresists. This technique enables the fabrication of clean monolayer MoS2 transistors with Ohmic contacts. MoS2 devices was mass-produced using both traditional photo-lithography (TPL) and gold mask lithography (GML). Statistics (~200 devices) shows that MoS2 devices produced by TPL vary in electrical properties by three orders of magnitude, while those fabricated by GML are highly reproducible with the conductivity variance within one order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 4","pages":"2073-2077"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
