چکیده
The current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics of Au/n-GaAs Schottky diodes on n-Ge substrates are investigated and compared with characteristics of diodes on GaAs substrates. The diodes show the non-ideal behavior of I–V characteristics with an ideality factor of 1.13 and barrier height of 0.735 eV. The forward bias saturation current was found to be large (3×10 A vs. 4.32×10 A) in the GaAs/Ge Schottky diodes compared with the GaAs/GaAs diodes. The energy distribution of interface states was determined from the forward bias I–V characteristics by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height, though it is small. The interface states density was found to be large in the Au/n-GaAs/n-Ge structure compared with the Au/n-GaAs/n-GaAs structure. The possible explanation for the increase in the interface states density in the former structure was highlighted. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Positron annihilation spectroscopies are methods for direct identification of vacancy-type defects by measuring positron lifetime and Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation and providing information about open volume, concentration and atoms surrounding the defect. Both these techniques are easily applied to bulk samples. Only the Doppler broadening spectroscopy can be employed in thin ep...

متن کاملCognitive developmental robotics as a new paradigm for the design of humanoid robots
This paper proposes cognitive developmental robotics (CDR) as a new principle for the design of humanoid robots. This principle may provide ways of understanding human beings that go beyond the current level of explanation found in the natural and social sciences. Furthermore, a methodological emphasis on humanoid robots in the design of artificial creatures holds promise because they have many...
متن کاملRoboCup European Championship: Report of the Amsterdam 2000 event
The authors, as the local organizers of the RoboCup European Championship, present a brief, informal overview of this event, with the aim to archive the main results, but also as a report to support organizers of future RoboCup events in the organization and coordination of such a rather complex tournament. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
