XRD spectra confirmed the amorphous nature of the as deposited film, which remained amorphous till 600 °C and became polycrystalline above 700 °C. The EIS device showed the maximum sensitivity of 51.4mV/pH for the film annealed at 700 °C, while the device with the as deposited film had a sensitivity of 44.3mV/pH. Further increase in annealing temperature above 700 °C resulted in reduced sensitivity (31.0mV/pH) because of increased interface states (indicated by C-V hysteresis in a MOS device) and enhanced cracks formation in the films (indicated by FESEM). Therefore, the annealing temperature of 700 °C was found to be the optimum annealing temperature for the e-beam deposited Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> films.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"67 1","pages":"214-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86852392","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}

Appropriate reinforcements in the existing solder material will help in achieving much improved electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) are one such material that can bring in considerable improvements in the properties of the solder material. CNT-Solder composite with less than 1% CNT is being explored for solder bumps in flip chip applications. This paper reports our work on co-deposition of CNT along with lead-free solder using electroplating process. For co-deposition of CNTs along with the solder, the processing of CNT is very important. Milling and CNT functionalisation are two such parameters that aid in its dispersion and make it active. The present studies include optimization of milling time for CNTs and selection of appropriate activators for functionalisation of CNTs in the electroplating bath.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"120-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90606089","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}

We have developed actuation-less non-return valve for gases and liquids, which is based upon the inlet and reverse pressure. This work compares three different designs of such valves. In these designs, top lid and bottom cavity layer together forms micro fluidic channel, through which fluid or gas can flow. The pressure based movable ceramic part and the matching cavity at the inlet plays an important role in the valve designs. The designs are such that the liquid or gas flows from inlet to outlet without any difficulty. However, if the liquid or gas flows in reverse direction (i.e. from outlet to inlet) the movable part blocks the path at the cavity and opposes the liquid or gas flow through the channel. Two designs are based upon vertical motion of the movable ceramic part and has a `O' ring to rest to movable part at the inlet side. One of these designs usesZirconia (ZrO2) ball (design 2) while another has square shape (design 3) as the movable parts. Yet another design (design 1) is based upon sliding motion and teflon coating for lubrication. The initial testing using pressurised air (up to 6 bar) indicated that the reverse direction blockade is the best for design 2, which has shown leak rate of 3 ml min-1 at 6bar pressure. This is followed by design 3 and by design 1, which have shown leak rates of 30 ml min-1 and 100ml min-1 respectively.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"289-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82297503","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}

One primary concern with producing LWIR detectors is that they must be made with a material having an energy band gap small enough to allow electrons to be excited from the valence band to the conduction band by the infrared radiation. However, the lowest band gap of the III-V material family is InSb (Eg= 0.174 eV @ 300 K), which corresponds to a wavelength of about 7.1 μm. This makes it difficult to fabricate a long-wavelength (8-14 μm) detector from a bulk III-V material. One way to approach is to make use of quantum wells (QWs) grown in the III-V material family. A QW is made when a thin layer of small band gap material is sandwiched between materials that have a higher band gap. This higher band gap material is called the barrier, where as the lower band gap material is called the well. If the well is thin enough and deep enough, then instead of a continuum of allowed states like those in the conduction band of a bulk semiconductor, a few discrete states are formed in the well. The number of discrete states that are formed depend on the physical and material properties of the well and barrier. Present talk deals with the development of Quantum wells and Dots of GaAs for efficient IR detection.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"iv-iv"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83053058","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}
