    Sammanfattning : Silicon carbide (SiC) integrated circuits (ICs) can enable the emergence of robust and reliable systems, including data acquisition and on-site control for extreme environments with high temperature and high radiation such as deep earth drilling, space and aviation, electric and hybrid vehicles, and combustion engines. In particular, SiC ICs provide significant benefit by reducing power dissipation and leakage current at temperatures above 300 °C compared to the Si counterpart. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to contribute to the development of improved window layer structures for chalcopyrite thin-film solar cells, with an emphasis on the buffer layer, to assist future reductions of the levelized cost of energy. This is realized by exploring the potential of existing materials and deposition processes, as well as developing new buffer layer processes based on atomic layer deposition (ALD). LÄS MER

  3. 3. Radiation Hardness of 4H-SiC Devices and Circuits

    Författare :Sethu Saveda Suvanam; Anders Hallén; Carl-Mikael Zetterling; Ulrike Grossner; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Silicon carbide; radiation hardness; protons; gamma radiation; bipolar junction transistors; aluminium oxide; surface recombination.; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Advances in space and nuclear technologies are limited by the capabilities of the conventional silicon (Si) electronics. Hence, there is a need to explore materials beyond Si with enhanced properties to operate in extreme environments. In this regards, silicon carbide (4H-SiC), a wide bandgap semiconductor, provides suitable solutions. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Modeling and electrical characterization of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells

    Författare :Christopher Frisk; Charlotte Platzer-Björkman; Jörgen Olsson; Janez Krč; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, modeling and electrical characterization have been performed on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cells, with the aim to investigate potential improvements to power conversion efficiency for respective technology. The modeling was primarily done in SCAPS, and current-voltage (J-V), quantum efficiency (QE) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) were the primary characterization methods. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Wireless, Single Chip, High Temperature Monitoring of Power Semiconductors

    Författare :Joakim Nilsson; Johan Sidén; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industriell elektronik; Industrial Electronics;

    Sammanfattning : Because failures in power electronics can cause production stops and unnecessary damage to interconnected equipment, monitoring schemes that are able to predict such failures provide various economic and safety benefits. The primary motivation for this thesis is that such monitoring schemes can increase the reliability of energy production plants. LÄS MER
