We proposed optical and electrical characterization methods to evaluate plasma-induced physical damage (PPD)—ion bombardment damage—to InP substrates. By introducing a native oxide phase in an interfacial layer, we proposed an optical model of the damaged structure applicable for an in-line monitoring by spectroscopic ellipsometry. Gas species dependence was obtained, which suggested that the H2 plasma exposure formed a thicker damaged layer than Ar. An impedance spectroscopy (IS) under various biases (V\u0000 b) was implemented to reveal the nature of damaged structures. Capacitive and conductive components assigned by the IS were confirmed to depend on incident species from plasma, indicating the difference of the energy profile of created defects. The presented methods are useful to characterize and control PPD in designing future high-performance InP-based devices.","PeriodicalId":505044,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"44 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140983827","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}

As the binary characteristic, the set operation induces the transition from a low conductance state (LCS) to a high conductance state (HCS), whereas the reset operation does vice-versa.

In this paper, we propose a method for calculating the reference scattering spectra by summing the scattering spectra for numerous scatterers in the ultrasound focal region. By applying this method to the size estimation of microparticles simulating RBC aggregates, the estimated sizes are found to be close to the true values. In in vivo measurements, the estimated sizes at rest are equivalent to the size of a single sphere with the same volume as an RBC, and those during avascularization are larger than those at rest, which is reasonable. The proposed method has the potential to accurately estimate the size of RBC aggregates.","PeriodicalId":505044,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"56 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003065","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}
