Optimizing PECVD a-SiC:H Films for Neural Interface Passivation

Hydrogen Passivation of Interstitial Iron in Silicon by Annealing with Pecvd Silicon Nitride Films

This paper reports on the effective passivation of interstitial iron in p-type boron-doped silicon via annealing with plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposited (PECVD) silicon nitride films. The concentration of interstitial iron was shown to reduce by more than 90% after a 30-minute anneal at 600 – 900C with the silicon nitride films present. The most effective hydrogenation of iron was found ...

Passivation of Si Surfaces by PECVD Aluminum Oxide

PECVD SINx INDUCED HYDROGEN PASSIVATION IN STRING RIBBON SILICON

To improve the bulk minority carrier lifetime in String Ribbon silicon, SiNx induced defect passivation during a post deposition anneal is investigated. Our results indicate that SiNx induced hydrogen passivation is very effective when the SiNx film is annealed in conjunction with a screen-printed AI layer on the back. In addition, it is found that controlled rapid cooling can be used to enhanc...

Quantum electron transport through ultrathin Si films: effects of interface passivation on Fermi-level pinning.

We report first-principles calculations on electron transport through ultrathin silicon films between aluminum electrodes. The passivation of interface Si atoms at one side of the film with hydrogen makes the current-voltage characteristics asymmetric with quasirectifying properties. The low conductivity in this case can be explained by the weakened metal-induced gap states due to the passivati...

Proposing A Distributed Model For Intrusion Detection In Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Using Neural Fuzzy Interface

Security term in mobile ad hoc networks has several aspects because of the special specification of these networks. In this paper a distributed architecture was proposed in which each node performed intrusion detection based on its own and its neighbors’ data. Fuzzy-neural interface was used that is the composition of learning ability of neural network and fuzzy Ratiocination of fuzzy system as...
