On the Damping of Ringing Affecting Power Transistors by Means of Active Gate Drivers

IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers
Fast power transistors require a tight control of their switching trajectory to exploit them at full speed, without degrading reliability and delivered electromagnetic emission figures of merit. By using active gate drivers in place of conventional ones, the switching trajectory can be shaped to reduce current and voltage overshoots, as well as the ...

Interface Effects in Ultrathin Silicon on Insulator Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a systematic framework to discriminate how bulk and interface phenomena affect charge transport in ultrathin P‐doped silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) films. For Si films below 15 nm, electrical characterization demonstrates that interface states drive charge transport, shifting the metal‐insulator transition (MIT) critical dopant ...

All‐Solution‐Processed HgTe Quantum Dot Photodetectors for Extended Short‐Wavelength Infrared Range Enhanced by Plasmonic ITO Nanocrystals

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
All‐solution‐processed, low‐cost extended short‐wavelength infrared photodetectors are realized by coupling colloidal HgTe quantum dots to plasmonic In2O3:Sn,F nanocrystals. Localized surface plasmon resonances boost and spectrally tailor light absorption between 1500 and 3000 nm, enabling responsivities above 40 A W−1.
