Magnetron sputtering plasma system using stoichiometric Cu2ZnSnS4 compound target was produced with pulsed-modulated rf 13.56 MHz power supply. Then, the temporal evolution of atomic metastable density in the afterglow was measured using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy techniques with hollow cathode lamp (HCL) as light source. The absorption signal decreased very rapidly after the termination of discharge power, indicating that the metastable density decreased rapidly in the afterglow. Therefore, the absolute Cu, Zn, and Sn metastable atom densities in the discharge phase were evaluated just after the termination of rf power. It has been observed that the absolute Cu, Zn, and Sn metastable atom densities in the gas phase were not in agreement with the stoichiometric composition of sputter target and deposited films. In addition, the characteristic of metastable atom densities was consistent with the ground state atom densities. The results suggest a possibility of unconventional sputtering process for compound sputter deposition.","PeriodicalId":169983,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics (ICSE)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123220280","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}

This paper presents the numerical approach of 1D PhC with 12 periodic holes to observe the range of stop band acquired, transmission and the quality factor of the resonance wavelengths. By splitting the holes equally with a range of cavities from 440 to 450 nm, the stop band observed are between 1.5 to 2.1 μm. By varying the cavity length, the value of resonance wavelengths and quality factors observed have also changed. The introduction of 442 nm cavity shows the highest transmission but the lowest Quality factor (Q-factor) where both are observed at 0.87 and 284 respectively. The values indicate a good confinement of light in the waveguide designed thus enabling wavelength selectivity for photodetectors application in highly sensitive wavelength selection application.","PeriodicalId":169983,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics (ICSE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115644746","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 flow rate ratio Qs/Qi is applied in order find the best flow rate ratio value between sheath channel and sample channel. Simulated results showed that when Qs is smaller than Qi, the stream size is bigger and the length of the stream is longer. However, Qs is equal to Qi, the stream becomes smaller and the length of the stream is shorter. Similary, when Qs is bigger than Qi, the stream becomes smaller and shorter.

Comparison performance has been made and found that SnO2 gives better sensitivity detection of formaldehyde molecule as compared with TiO2 and ZnO. At this stage, the test validation is done by dipping the electrode in 100 ppm formaldehyde liquid solution. Further, we show that SnO2 provides better selectivity toward the detection of formaldehyde and compared to acetone, ethanol, formaldehyde, isopropanol and methanol. Lastly, we demonstrate that, our sensor capable to detect down to 0.010 ppm of formaldehyde liquid.

As a consequence, it affected the statistical variability of the threshold voltage (Vth), sub-threshold slope (SS), and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) in the n-channel SOI FinFET device. The mean and standard deviation of these devices are calculated to analyze the electrical characteristics variation.
