The features observed on the high-energy side of the fundamental gap are attributed to transitions involving electronic subbands in the half V-shaped potential well. We find that the Si (delta) -doping-related spectral structure first shifts to high energy side with the doping concentration increasing, then almost stop shifting with the doping concentration higher than 2.4 X 1014 cm-2 when temperature increases, at certain doping concentration the Si (delta) - doping-related transition shifts toward low energy side. The dependence of the transition on doping concentration is well explained by using a simple theoretical model.","PeriodicalId":362287,"journal":{"name":"Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132928733","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}

Ni-electrode multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) of BaTiO3-based dielectrics and AgPd-electrode MLCCs of relaxor materials were developed to meet the requirements. Thinner dielectriclayers, miniaturization, and high capacitance are also major requirements for MLCCs. In these circumstances, much effort has been paid in order to achieve higher reliability. Ni-electrode MLCCs are promising way to satisfy the requirements of high capacitance, low cost, and high reliability. Major problems about the reliability were mechanical fracture, degradation of insulation resistance, and capacitance aging. These phenomena are strongly affected by both chemical composition and producing process.","PeriodicalId":362287,"journal":{"name":"Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"279 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130925487","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}
