Yu-Ting Chen Characterization of Open-Circuit Voltage Loss in Perovskite Solar Cells with Different Hole Transport Layers
Yu-Ting Chen, Tzung-Fang Guo, National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan)

In this study, we measured photovoltaic external quantum efficiency and electroluminescence external quantum efficiency of the devices to characterize the energy loss of open-circuit voltage in perovskite solar cells with different hole transport layers. The results show that the non-radiative recombination loss is the majority impact factor. Moreover, it is affected by the energy alignment between the hole transport layer and the perovskite layer. According to the results of photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence, the non-radiative recombination contributes to the photoluminescence quenching effect in the interface between the hole transport layer and perovskite.

In inverted structure perovskite solar cell, poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine (PTAA) is considered the best choice for the hole transport layer (HTL), regardless of optical properties or electrical conductivity. However, its hydrophobic surface impedes the development of perovskite thin films. Here, discuss the modification of the PTAA surface, aimed at enhancing device efficiency. This involves addressing the issue of incomplete perovskite film coverage by adjusting the perovskite mixed solvent. Additionally, we utilize PFN-Br to modify the PTAA/Perovskite interface, effectively reducing perovskite defects and achieving the best device efficiency values of VOC=1.10 V, JSC=21.38 mA/cm², FF=77.95 %, and PCE=18.27 %.

Karthikeyan Embrose Enhancing Perovskite Solar Cell Efficiency through Guanidine Hydrochloride Surface Modification
Karthikeyan Embrose, Thangaraji Vasudevan, Lung-Chien Chen, National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) (Taiwan)

In this study, researchers employed guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) for surface modification of Perovskite Solar Cell (PVK-SC) films. Theoretical simulations of the resulting PVSK:GuHCl exhibited a strong correlation with experimental data, indicating significant performance improvements in the devices. Theoretical analysis results indicate that passivating the surface states of the perovskite layer could improve the device’s performance. Initial tests on perovskite devices without a passivation layer displayed impressive attributes, including a high-power conversion efficiency of 16%. Therefore, there is a strong belief that passivating with PVK:GuHCl will lead to even higher photoconversion efficiency and enhanced stability in solar cell devices.

Sin-You Chen Applying metamaterial prefect absorber to an indoor solar photovoltaics
Sin-You Chen, Tsung-Yu Huang, Ming Chi University of Technology (Taiwan)

Here, we would like to integrate metamaterial absorbers to an indoor solar cell. The total absorption and absorption integral values for the integrated device and the ITO cell are 3.42/276 and 3.45/281, respectively. The difference in the two values is only 0.87% and 1.78%, respectively. With minimal differences in optical absorption, our proposed integrated device features a smaller measured sheet resistance 4.42/□, respectively and benefits from the higher flexibility and lower metal cost. Therefore, we believe our proposed metamaterial perfect absorber could be a promising candidate for transparent conductive electrodes in future indoor low-light photovoltaic cells.

Chin-An Hsu, Ti-Kai Chou, National Taiwan University (Taiwan); Yu-Chiang Chao, National Taiwan Normal University (Taiwan); I-Chun Cheng, National Taiwan University (Taiwan)

Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites have been regarded as potential active materials for optoelectronic devices. Perovskite flakes at nanoscales in thickness have shown distinct optoelectronic properties, such as higher fraction of radiative recombination, in comparison to their bulk counterparts. However, nanoflakes of 2D perovskites are seldom demonstrated and investigated. In this research, we successfully fabricate PEA2PbI4 (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite nanoflakes of 11 nm by using a facile three-step method, and their optoelectronic and field-effect characteristics are studied.

Minh Loi Le Current injected gain spectrum of bulk and tri-layer MoS2 as an optical amplifier
Minh Loi Le, Ting Wei Chen, National Pingtung University (Taiwan)

We numerically investigate the optical gain spectrum of the bulk and tri-layer of molybdenum disulfide functioned as an optical amplifier. In room temperature, the bulk has a minimum interaction photon energy at the band gap (1.23 eV) with a threshold injected current density ~3 kA/cm2. For the 2D tri-layer film, the minimum interaction photon energy is lifted to 2.09 eV due to the quantum-well structure, and the threshold injected current density is ~1.9 kA/cm2 which is significantly lower than that in bulk. The dependence of the optical gain profiles on the temperature and injected current density are also investigated.

Yung-Lan Chuang, Wei-Wei Tung, National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan); Ming-Lun Lee, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan); Jinn-Kong Sheu, National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan)

In photoelectrochemical reactions, the performance of n-GaN nanopillar photoelectrodes declines due to photocorrosion. This study explores enhancing stability during PEC reactions. Photoelectrodes of n-GaN with a Ni(OH)2 capping layer showed more durability than Ni(OH)2-free ones. In particular, the effect of a NiO seed layer on Ni(OH)2 nanosheet coverage on n-GaN was evaluated. Enhanced stability is mainly attributed to the Ni(OH)2 coating, passivating defects in n-GaN and facilitating carrier transport to the electrolyte, suppressing photocorrosions.

Min-Yang Lu The Optical and Mechanical Properties of Tungsten Doped Vanadium Dioxide Thin Films
Min-Yang Lu, Feng Chia University (Taiwan)

In this work, tungsten-doped vanadium oxide (VO2) films were deposited by electron beam evaporation associated with ion beam-assisted deposition.The optical and mechanical properties of these VO2 films at different tungsten doping concentrations were investigated. The results show that the visible light transmittance and residual stress of vanadium oxide films decrease with the increase of doping tungsten concentration. When the VO2 sample with a doping concentration of 5% is heated above 55 °C, the transmittance drops sharply, which may be due to the phase transition to a metal phase, and the phase transition temperature is estimated to be 55 °C.

Han-Wei Wang, Yen-Da Chen, Chia-Feng Lin, National Chung Hsing University (Taiwan)

Ultraviolet C AlGaN-based light-emitting diodes and PIN-type photodetectors (PD) with an embedded porous AlGaN layer were demonstrated. The n-type Al0.6GaN:Si layer with high Al content was transformed into the conductive porous AlGaN:Si layer through the electrochemical (EC) wet etching process. The relative reflectivity of the treated structure was higher than the non-treated structure. High electroluminescence emission intensity, peak wavelength redshifted from 272.8 to 273.4 nm, and low interference oscillation were observed by forming the porous AlGaN layer. For the PD structures, the peak responsivity was measured at about 255 nm.

This study displays the optical properties of thin-film metallic glasses (TFMGs) in the thermal infrared (IR) region. Applying optical thin film theory, we could modulate the emissivity of TFMG in the thermal IR region. The measured emissivity of the TFMG (45.35%) was significantly enhanced when compared with that of a Si substrate or metal film.

Chin-Jung Chiu Study the Scaling of AlGaN Back Barrier in GaN HEMTs
Chin-Jung Chiu, Yuh-Renn Wu, National Taiwan University (Taiwan)

This study focuses on enhancing HEMT high-frequency performance through gate length scaling. However, as gate lengths decrease, the short channel effect and buffer leakage become significant challenges. The design of back-barrier effectively suppresses buffer leakage, lowers subthreshold swing (SS), and enhances the device’s fT. Thicker back barriers demonstrate better results, with the 50nm back barrier achieving an fT of 179 GHz, which is higher than the 30nm back barrier with fT of 174 GHz. However, excessively thick barriers may create a secondary channel. These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing GaN HEMT characteristics.

Nanostructures Prepared by using Atomic Layer Deposition for Optoelectronic Applications
Chi-Chung Kei, Advanced Process and Equipment Development Division, Taiwan Instrument Research Institute (TIRI) (Taiwan)

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been used extensively for depositing thin films in the semiconductor and
optoelectronic industries. The self-limiting character of ALD allows accurate thickness control and superior
coating conformality over a complex structure. With the assistance of nanostructured templates, hollow
nanostructures, such as nanotubes, can be fabricated by using ALD. It is promising to manufacture various
nanostructures for optoelectronic applications by using ALD and templates. We have successfully fabricated
ZnO, VO2, and TiO2 nanostructures for the optoelectronic applications, such as photocatalysis,
photoelectronchemical water splitting, and thermochromism. Multiwalled, multilayered or alloyed nanotubes
with superior optoelectronic properties fabricated by using nanolamination ALD processes will be also presented
in this talk. On the other hand, metallic nanoparticles (NPs), such as Pt and Ni, can be prepared by using ALD
due to insufficient nucleation sites on the substrate. The size of NPs can be easily controlled by changing the
cycle number of ALD, allowing the adjustment of optical properties.

Hsin-Wen Huang Study of Bilayer MoS2 and WSe2 Transport Properties and Their Application in MOSFET
Hsin-Wen Huang, Yuh-Renn Wu, National Taiwan University (Taiwan)

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material is an excellent candidate for avoiding short-channel effects. One study shows the few-layer MoS2 nanosheet transistors have better performance than the monolayer one [1]. Therefore, we investigate the transport properties of bilayer MoS2 and bilayer WSe2 and utilize them as channels in our double-gate MOSFET design. Our result shows that bilayer MoS2 devices and bilayer WSe2 p-type devices have a nice channel control ability. The sub-threshold swing values are 65~60 mV/dec with a gate length longer than 7 nm. Among these two materials, the bilayer MoS2-based device shows more promising characteristics

Zhi-Hao Chen Optimization of The Base-Collector Junction of Type-I InP HBT by Designing Epi Structure
Zhi-Hao Chen, Yuh-Renn Wu, National Taiwan University (Taiwan)

To achieve a higher fT of an HBT device, maximizing the device's gm (ΔIC/ΔVBE) and minimizing the device's equivalent capacitance play crucial roles. This work introduces a quaternary material (InGaAlAs) chirped-SL (Chirped Superlattice) structure into the Base-Collector grade. This allows for diminishing the conduction band's discontinuity and gradually increasing the effective bandgap from the base to the collector of the B-C junction without changing the thickness of the barrier layer. Quaternary superlattice structures exhibit lower equivalent capacitance than ternary superlattices and achieve higher IC (collector current) than quaternary gradient layers.

We deposited high-quality GaN thin films on glass substrates using RF reactive magnetron sputtering with high-purity gallium (8N). The process was optimized to enhance crystal quality, aided by an AlN buffer layer to improve the crystal quality of GaN films. X-ray diffraction confirmed the (002) crystal phase with a narrow FWHM of 0.85°. Low-temperature photoluminescence exhibited a band-edge emission at 3.36 eV (369 nm). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed strong Ga-N bonding. RF magnetron sputtering proved effective for depositing GaN films on glass, offering potential for optoelectronic applications.

The research proposal is to heterogeneous growth carbide (SiC) films on silicon (Si) substrates using reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The substrates are heated to 600℃ to achieve epitaxial growth of SiC films. In order to avoid target damage from heat accumulation, we utilize reactive RF sputtering technique with Si targets and methane (CH4) gas. The bonding properties of SiC films under different RF power levels were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. The experimental results demonstrate that the RF power of 150W represents the critical point for Si-C bonds and get 4H-SiC crystal after 1200 annealing.

This study explores the under-investigated terahertz properties of ultrathin metallic films, specifically electron emission. We observe this emission in ultrathin gold films, driven by a strong THz field. Films of around 2 nm thickness show efficient absorption and significant electron emission. Our analysis, employing Time-of-Flight (TOF) measurements and electron energy distribution fitting, indicates that electron emission is a result of the interaction between hot electrons and the THz electric field.

Ya-Ching Lin Epitaxial Growth of GaN Epilayers on Si and AlN/Si Templates at 600°C
Ya-Ching Lin, Hung-Sheng Liu, Sheng-Hui Chen, National Central University (Taiwan)

GaN layers were directly epitaxial grown at 600°C using the high power impulse magnetron sputtering technique, in contrast to the MOCVD method that demands temperatures exceeding 1000°C. In this epitaxial process utilizing N2/Ar mixture gas and Ga target, the GaN layers were directly grown on Si (111) substrates and Si (111) substrates with AlN buffer layers. XRD measurements of full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) reveal that the GaN layer with the AlN buffer layer exhibits significantly lower FWHM and stronger intensity. SEM results indicate that the GaN layer deposited on the AlN buffer layer displays a relatively smooth surface.

Based on the P-polarized reflection peak at certain wavelengths. The surface plasmon polariton propagation on the surface of silver coated grating is investigated here. By analyzing the radiation on the surface from a dipole above the surface with FDTD method, the in-plane iso-frequency curves are derived and reveal the anisotropic properties of the grating surface.

The figure of merit (FOM) of semitransparent solar cells is limited by either high transmittance and low efficiency or low transmittance and high efficiency. The dual absorption layer structure of a-Si:H/a-SiOx:H solar cells combines the energy gap difference (EgL/EgH) and the thickness ratio (DL/DH) to regulate the transmittance and efficiency,aiming to find the optimal FOM. Furthermore,to enhance the light transmission through the n-layer, CO2 gas is introduced to create a high bandgap thin film. The dual absorption layer structure cell with (EgL/EgH=1.704 eV/1.946 eV,DL/DH=50 nm/50 nm) achieves efficiency, average transmittance (400-650 nm), and optimal FOM of 3.09%, 37.92%, and 99.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used today in fields such as lighting and displays [1]. Among them,perovskite LED with dimmable performance has become a research hotspot [2,3], and the demand for backlight sources of LCD screens has also increased, which has higher requirements for phosphor materials. It is difficult to achieve the ideal color rendering effect when using traditional phosphors with blue chips, but tetravalent manganese red phosphors solve this problem [4,5]. However, tetravalent manganese phosphors contain fluorine,which may cause the risk of pollution in the production line, limiting its large-scale application.

Ai-Ling Shih Analyzation of The Microstructure of Extreme Ultraviolet Mo/Si Multilayer Mirrors by Ion Beam Sputtering Deposition System
Ai-Ling Shih, Kuan-Chieh Huang, National Central University (Taiwan); Chao-Te Lee, Wen-Hao Cho, Taiwan Instrument Research Institute (Taiwan); Chien-Cheng Kuo, National Central University (Taiwan)

The reflectance of the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) multilayer mirror is an important parameter that determines the production capacity in the EUV lithography technology. The reflectance of the EUV multilayer mirror is always lower than the theoretical value due to the Mo and Si materials maxing and diffusing with each other. Thus, in this study, ion beam sputter deposition system was used to fabricate Mo/Si multilayers and B4C layer was added to reduce the thickness of interface diffusion. The Mo-on-Si interface and Si-on-Mo interface diffusion thickness decreased from 0.7nm and 0.46nm to 0.43nm, respectively, after the B4C layer was added.

Quasi-two-dimensional perovskite single crystals are grown through vapor-venting space-limited crystallization method and used for fabricating solar cell devices. In order to accelerate the crystal growth rate, we add primary alcohols to the perovskite precursor solution to modify their solubilities. As a result, the crystal grown time is reduced to 5 h and a high power conversion efficiency of ca. 16% is achieved. We anticipate that the rapid crystal growth method will benefit the future mass production of single-crystal perovskite solar cells.

Ting-Jia Chen Effects of annealing on the structure and optical properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films
Yeu-Long Jiang, Yu-You Su, Ting-Jia Chen, National Chung Hsing University (Taiwan)

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films possess a tunable bandgap. By adjusting the bandgap, these thin films can selectively absorb light of different wavelengths. Annealing can adjust the bandgap of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films. As the annealing temperature increases, the Si-H bonds, Si-H2 bonds, and Si-H2 ratio decrease, leading to a smaller bandgap of the film. As the bandgap decreases, the optical properties of the film increase, and the absorption wavelength shifts towards longer wavelengths.

This report discusses the growth mechanism due to the unique properties of multilayer 2D materials combining organic and semiconductor materials. Controlling the time of sputtering Mo, MoS2 with different layers can be grown from monolayer up to above 15 layers. Then, by identifying HRTEM, it can be found that when MoS2 reaches more than 15 layers, there are some clusters in the layered structure, so the stacking layered MoS2 becomes messy. Therefore, we chose 10 layers MoS2 to fabricate 2D solar cells and found that its spectral response has an obvious cut-off at near 700 nm under zero bias.

The influence of the electric field in hybrid halide perovskite materials plays a crucial role in comprehending intriguing optoelectronic phenomena. Here, we report the electroabsorption (E-A) spectra, that is, electric field-induced change in absorption spectra, of methylammonium lead tri-iodide (MAPbI3) film sandwiched between fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film in both tetragonal and orthorhombic phases. The observed E-A spectra demonstrate the sensitivity to the light illumination power density (IL-D) at a low modulation frequency (M-F) of the applied electric field (Fa). However, this dependence of E-A spectra on IL-D diminished when the M-F was high.

With the rapid development of semiconductors, it’s a new trend to make research on new materials and new structure memories as it becomes more difficult to shrink the device size. In the study, we fabricate a new generation memory, or Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM), with MgSiO3 switching layer. This study investigates the impact of different film densities on MgSiO3 based RRAM devices. The results demonstrate that films with higher densities exhibit larger Forming voltage as well as a higher HRS/LRS ratio. These findings suggest a significant correlation between the mechanism of conductive filament formation and film density.
