[ { "abstract": "Defect detection based on machine vision and machine learning techniques has drawn much attention in recent years. Deep learning is very suitable for such segmentation and detection tasks and has become a promising research area. Surface quality inspection is essentially important in the manufacturing of mobile phone back glass (MPBG) Different types of defects are produced because of the imperfection of the manufacturing technique. Unlike general transparent glass, screen printing glass has totally different reflection and scattering characteristics, which means the traditional dark field imaging system is not suitable for this task. Meanwhile, the imaging system requires high resolution since the minimum defect size can be 0.005 mm2. According to the imaging characteristics of screen printing glass, this paper proposes a coaxial bright field (CBF) imaging system and low angle bright field (LABF) imaging system, and 8K line scan complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) cameras are utilized to capture images with the resolution size of 16,000*8092. The CBF system is applied for the weak scratch and discoloration defects while the LABF system is applied for the dent defect. A symmetric convolutional neural network composed of encoder and decoder structures is proposed based on U net, which produces a semantic segmentation with the same size as the original input image. More than 10,000 original images were captured, and more than 30,000 defective and non defective images were manually annotated in the glass surface defect dataset (GSDD) Verified by the experiments, the results showed that the average precision reaches more than 91% and the average recall rate reaches more than 95% The method is very suitable for the surface defect inspection of screen printing mobile phone back glass.", "author_names": [ "Jia-Bin Jiang", "Pin Cao", "Zichen Lu", "Weimin Lou", "Yongying Yang" ], "corpus_id": 219776934, "doc_id": "219776934", "n_citations": 4, "n_key_citations": 0, "score": 0, "title": "Surface Defect Detection for Mobile Phone Back Glass Based on Symmetric Convolutional Neural Network Deep Learning", "venue": "", "year": 2020 }, { "abstract": "In this paper, we propose an unsupervised background reconstruction method to detect defects on surfaces with unevenly distributed textures.

Furthermore, combined with the reconstructed defect free reference, a novel difference analysis method based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is given to accurately segment the defect regions from the original image. A series of experiments for the defect detection on mobile phone cover glass (MPCG) are conducted.

With skip connection and dual auto encoder architecture, the proposed method exhibited excellent image reconstruction ability and training stability. Three datasets, namely public industrial detection training set, MVTec AD, with mobile phone screen glass and wood defect detection datasets, were used to verify the inspection ability of DAGAN. In addition, training with a limited amount of data was proposed to verify its detection ability. The results demonstrated that the areas under the curve (AUCs) of DAGAN were better than previous generative adversarial network based anomaly detection models in 13 out of 17 categories in these datasets, especially in categories with high variability or noise. The maximum AUC improvement was 0.250 (toothbrush) Moreover, the proposed method exhibited better detection ability than the U Net auto encoder, which indicates the function of discriminator in this application.

The high precision ultra thin glass molding process (UTGMP) is very important in the fabrication of high quality 2.5D/3D ultra thin glass for smartphones; however, the UTGMP, with its high energy consumption and low pass rate, is not considered to be environment friendly. Therefore, in this study, the sustainability of the molding process for 3D ultra thin glass was comprehensively investigated. First, the ultra thin 3D glass molding process is described, including a discussion of the glass molding apparatus, and the principle of glass thermos formation is explained. Secondly, a thermo mechanical coupling model is proposed to study the effects of loading heat and pressure on the distributions of temperature and internal stress of ultra thin glass. The results demonstrate that significant amounts of stress were concentrated at the edges, and in holes and slots. A series of experiments were conducted to reveal the respective effect of various UTGMP parameters on the energy consumption, pass rate, and carbon emission level of the process. Consequently, the percentage of the main effect of loading temperature on energy consumption was found to be 23.65% whereas that of the duration of applied pressure on the pass rate was determined to be 52.48% The optimal process parameter combinations were determined by analyzing the above mentioned research results and subsequently implementing them in a hybrid intelligent optimization algorithm that utilizes quantum behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) and a back propagation neural network (BPNN) The algorithm revealed that energy consumption and carbon emissions can be respectively decreased by 3.39% and 3.45% at a relatively high pass rate (i.e. over 70% Eventually, the suggested combinations for the UTGMP will be able to achieve at least 60% 76% of the pass rate, as well as consume no more than 0.756 kW h/pcs to meet sustainable manufacturing requirements.

However, the vision inspection of bottle bottoms for defects remains a challenging task in quality control due to inaccurate localization, the difficulty in detecting defects in the texture region, and the intrinsically nonuniform brightness across the central panel. To overcome these problems, we propose a surface defect detection framework, which is composed of three main parts. First, a new localization method named entropy rate superpixel circle detection (ERSCD) which combines least squares circle detection and entropy rate superpixel (ERS) with an improved randomized circle detection, is proposed to accurately obtain the region of interest (ROI) of the bottle bottom. Then, according to the structure property, the ROI is divided into two measurement regions: central panel region and annular texture region. For the former, a defect detection method named frequency tuned anisotropic diffusion super pixel segmentation (FTADSP) that integrates frequency tuned salient region detection (FT) anisotropic diffusion, and an improved superpixel segmentation is proposed to precisely detect the regions and boundaries of defects. For the latter, a defect detection strategy called wavelet transform multiscale filtering (WTMF) based on a wavelet transform and a multiscale filtering algorithm is proposed to reduce the influence of texture and to improve the robustness to localization error.

In the picture frame shearing, it is identified that the effective shear response of the biaxial NCF in the positive shear mode should be characterized in the cycle 1 due to the irreversible destruction of the NCF architecture. Besides, the applying pre tension is originally demonstrated to be capable of effectively suppressing the wrinkle defect and delaying the triggering shear angle of the wrinkle. Moreover, for the 45deg NCF, the stitching thread suffers tension in positive shear mode, and the wrinkle is the main defect. In the negative shear mode, due to the non pure shearing at high shear angle and compression of stitching thread, the mesoscopic defects, including bending and unit cell buckling of the stitching thread, are generated. In the hemisphere forming, it is revealed that the shear deformation is certainly arose in the tensile region of the 45deg NCF due to the asymmetrical yarn shrink. The same fabric wrinkle and mesoscopic stitching thread defects are also originally identified, demonstrating the hemisphere forming is highly correlated to the large shear deformation.

WAFER classification
[ { "abstract": "Silicon wafer is the most crucial material in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Owing to limited resources, the reclamation of monitor and dummy wafers for reuse can dramatically lower the cost, and become a competitive edge in this industry. However, defects such as void, scratches, particles, and contamination are found on the surfaces of the reclaimed wafers. Most of the reclaimed wafers with the asymmetric distribution of the defects, known as the \"good (G)\" reclaimed wafers, can be re polished if their defects are not irreversible and if their thicknesses are sufficient for re polishing. Currently, the \"no good (NG)\" reclaimed wafers must be first screened by experienced human inspectors to determine their re usability through defect mapping. This screening task is tedious, time consuming, and unreliable. This study presents a deep learning based reclaimed wafers defect classification approach. Three neural networks, multilayer perceptron (MLP) convolutional neural network (CNN) and Residual Network (ResNet) are adopted and compared for classification.

To solve these problems, we propose a neural network based bin coloring method called Bin2Vec to make similar bin codes are represented by similar colors. We also build a convolutional neural network based WBM classification model to reduce the variations in the decisions made by engineers with different expertise by learning the company wide historical WBM classification results.

To achieve improved predictive performance, this paper presents a joint modeling method that incorporates classification and regression tasks into a single prediction model.

This paper proposes an ADC method based on deep learning that automatically classifies various types of wafer surface damage. In contrast to conventional ADC methods, which apply a series of image recognition and machine learning techniques to find features for defect classification, the proposed model adopts a single convolutional neural network (CNN) model that can extract effective features for defect classification without using additional feature extraction algorithms.

The choice of SVM is motivated by the model's ability to effectively classify multivariate, multimodal, and inseparable data points. This model uses multidimensional hyperplanes to separate and classify wafers into low yield and high yield classes. This paper includes a proposal for how the classification model can be applied for yield classification and how it can be adaptively updated in a manufacturing environment. We show how the values for the SVM parameters can be selected for best yield classification. Furthermore, performance evaluation is conducted on real manufacturing data, comparing the proposed SVM classifier to state of the art. Results show that in all cases, SVM consistently outperforms other methods with and without adaptive model updates. The experiments also show that all classifiers' performances depend on yield thresholds.

In this letter, 3 3 ceramic ceramic Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3/Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 composite with a colossal permittivity was employed in the conventional pure bending experiment in order to examine the transverse flexoelectric response. The measured flexoelectric coefficient at 30 Hz is 128 mC/m and varies to 16 mC/m with the frequency increasing from 30 Hz to 120 Hz, mainly due to the inverse correlation between the permittivity and the frequency. This result reveals the permittivity dependence of flexoelectric coefficient in the frequency dispersion materials, suggesting that the giant permittivity composites can be good flexoelectric materials.

This Special Edition in Celebration of Maria Petrou, was conceived shortly after she died in October 2012 and was in response to friends and colleagues who wanted to remember both her personal warmth and exceptional scientific achievements. The idea was to have a variety of contributions including novel scientific articles, reviews of topics close to Maria's areas of interest, and personal recollections from friends and colleagues. The call for papers was issued in May 2013 and resulted in 27 submissions. Of these about 8 were of a non technical nature and have been edited together to form the 'Homage to Maria Petrou' which is a compendium of recollections of various interactions with Maria, spanning her whole career. The remaining articles were of a technical nature, and have been peer reviewed according to the usual process followed in Pattern Recognition Letters. This peer review has produced 9 revised papers, which are also included in the Special Edition. These papers are authored by former students, colleagues and followers of Maria's work. All cite her contributions to the field and place themselves in the context of her work. Several of the articles list Maria as a posthumous co author. The technical contributions as follows: The paper 'Progress in the restoration of image sequences are degraded by atmospheric turbulence' by Ronen Gal, Nahum Kiryati and Nir Sochen reflects Maria's long standing interest in remote sensing, and explains how atmospheric degradation can be overcome in motion sequences. This interest in remote sensing was one of her earliest in the field of image analysis, and grew out of her first post in the area as a postdoc in the Department of Geography at Reading University. This lead her to work extensively on the problem of mixed pixels, and this interest is reflected in the paper 'Subpixel temporal spectral imaging' authored by former student Olga Duran and posthumously by Maria herself. Finally under the heading of remote sensing, a second posthumous paper 'A rule based classification methodology to handle uncertainty in habitat mapping employing evidential reasoning and fuzzy logic' authored by Zisis Petrou et al. describes how her work in AI and pattern recognition can be brought to bear on image interpretation problems in remote sensing. Maria always described herself as having a soft spot for geometry, and ascribed this to sharing her nationality with Pythagoras. The paper 'Rotation invariant co occurrence features based on digital circles and discrete Fourier transform' by Antonio Fernandez and Francesco Bianconi builds on this interest together with her long standing fascination with the Hough transform to present a new shape characterisation technique. Maria enjoyed teaching and preparing innovative teaching material. She also thought a great deal about how people learn and how you should best help them to learn. Many of her ideas here influenced the development of the tower of knowledge which is described in 'Tower of Knowledge for Scene Interpretation: A Survey' by Mai Xu and Zulin Wang. After first moving to Surrey, Maria developed an interest in the renormalisation group approach to image processing. This was a natural direction for her not only since the method draws on ideas from physics, but also that the original work in this area was performed by fellow Greek, Basilis Gidas. In the paper 'Fast pose invariant face recognition using super coupled multiresolution Markov Random Fields on a GPU' by Shervin Rahimzadeh Arashloo and Josef Kittler, the renormalisation group approach is applied to face recognition and efficiently implemented on a GPU. In her first post in computer vision at Reading University, Maria worked on an Alvey project with David Hogg, and was fascinated by his then pioneering work on modelling walking people. The paper 'Identification of people walking along curved trajectories' by Yumi Iwashita, Koichi Ogawara and Ryo Kurazume, captures this long standing interest, as does the paper 'Human Activity Recognition From 3D Data: A Review' by Lu Xia and Jake Aggarwal, which shows how far this field has moved over the past 25 years. As a physicist by training, Maria was instinctively drawn to problems involving light, and this influenced her recent work on photometric stereo. The papers 'Error analysis of photometric stereo with colour lights' by Martin Klaudiny and Adrian Hilton and 'Cast Shadows estimation and synthesis using the Walsh Transform' by Vasileios Argyriou, Ferdinand Redelinghuys and Maria herself, both address this research interest, with new insights into photometric stereo and how it can be employed in the real world. In addition to the scientific papers and the compendium of recollections, this special edition also contains accounts of her work at the University of Surrey and CERTH in Thessaloniki, together with a reprint of her obituary which appeared in the Guardian. We thank the authors of the technical papers and the personal recollections for providing us with the material for this celebration of Maria's life. We also thank Gabriella Sanniti di Baja for encouraging us to embark on editing it, and for her patience when the project ran slowly. We are also very grateful to the staff at Elsevier, especially Journal Manager Janet Amali Joseph who helped us bring the special edition into being. This is of course just one of several tributes to Maria. There will be a workshop in the Autumn of 2014 at CERTH to celebrate her scientific achievements. The IAPR, of which Maria served as both Newsletter Editor and Treasurer, among other posts, plans to remember Maria through a named biennial award to a female scientist. At the time of going to press, details of the award are still being discussed, but should be finalised in time for approval at the IAPR Governing Board Meeting in Stockholm, and an announcement during ICPR.", "author_names": [ "Edwin R Hancock", "Josef Kittler" ], "corpus_id": 45223232, "doc_id": "45223232", "n_citations": 3, "n_key_citations": 0, "score": 2, "title": "Celebrating the life and work of Maria Petrou", "venue": "Pattern Recognit. Lett.", "year": 2014 }, { "abstract": "El objetivo de esta tesis es contribuir al desarrollo de circuitos complejos en chips fotonicos de silicio. Para ello, se centra en dos retos principales: Por un lado, trata de elucidar la dinamica temporal de los efectos no lineales en silicio, especialmente la interaccion de los portadores libres con los pulsos opticos en el dominio del tiempo. Por otro lado, la tesis pretende contribuir a la miniaturizacion de los circuitos fotonicos mediante la integracion de guias fotonicas con guias plasmonicas.Entre los resultados mas destacables de esta tesis se encuentra la observacion, por primera vez, de compresion de pulsos de picosegundos mediante el efecto soliton (Nature Communications 5, 3160, 2014) Hasta la fecha no habia sido posible esta demostracion debido a la fuerte presencia de absorcion de dos fotones y portadores libres en longitudes de onda de comunicaciones. Este hito ha sido posible gracias al uso de una guia cristal fotonico con luz lenta y su dispersion especialmente disenada. En esta misma linea de investigacion se ha logrado tambien el descubrimiento de nuevos efectos no lineales en el dominio del tiempo relacionados con la presencia de los portadores libres en la guia. Incluso mas importante es la propuesta de usar la dispersion de la guia como mecanismo de control para los efectos generados por los portadores libres, resolviendo el problema mas grave de la optica no lineal en silicio.Otro resultado destacable es la demostracion numerica de acoplamiento eficiente entre guias de cristal fotonico y lineas de transmision plasmonicas en el infrarrojo medio, que presenta gran potencial en la miniaturizacion de circuitos en esta region del espectro (Applied Physics Letters 104, 011105 2014).Esperamos que los resultados presentados en esta tesis conlleven un avance en fotonica de silicio, posibilitando mayor funcionalidad y miniaturizacion de circuitos fotonicos en una plataforma compatible con las capacidades de fabricacion de silicio.", "author_names": [ "Andrea Blanco Redondo" ], "corpus_id": 127553625, "doc_id": "127553625", "n_citations": 0, "n_key_citations": 0, "score": 1, "title": "Linear and nonlinear devices in silicon photonic waveguides", "venue": "", "year": 2014 }, { "abstract": "We report on the experimental observation of coherent phonon boundary scattering in micro scale phononic crystals (PnCs) at room temperature. We show that the neglecting coherent boundary scattering leads to gross overestimation of the measured thermal conductivities of the PnC samples. We introduce a hybrid model that accounts for partial coherent and partial incoherent phonon boundary scattering. Excellent agreement with the experiment is achieved. Almost all physical processes produce heat as a byproduct making thermoelectric (TE) systems very attractive for energy scavenging applications. Energy conversion in TE devices is based on the so called Peltier effect 1 Here the temperature gradient resulting from expelled heat is used to force electronic transport resulting in an electric current. As such, heat transported via phonons represents a leakage mechanism and serves to reduce the efficiency of TE systems. Indeed the inability to suppress or eliminate the relative phonon contribution to thermal transport as compared to the electronic one has hindered the development of efficient TE devices. Recently, it has been proposed that coherent boundary scattering in micro scale phononic crystals (PnCs) may hold the key to solving this problem by scattering phonons with minimal influence on electrons 2 4 PnCs are artificial structures with a periodic variation in mechanical impedance brought about by the introduction of holes or plugs of one material into a homogenous matrix of another 5 8 This periodic variation results in rich phonon dispersion with unusual behaviors 9 In this communication, we focus on micro scale PnCs formed by the introduction of air holes in a Si matrix with minimum feature sizes 100nm. As a phonon population traverses such a lattice, it can undergo two types of scattering processes: simple incoherent scattering as a result of encountering a boundary; and coherent Bragg like 7 scattering due to the periodic topology of the artificial lattice of air holes. In the first type, it is assumed that the phonons will retain no phase information after each scattering event. This implies that the phonon dispersion remains unaltered due to the introduction of the air holes. In the second type, on the other hand, it is assumed that the phase is preserved throughout several scattering events thus enabling coherent interference to occur. Consequently, this would imply a modified phonon dispersion that is sensitive to the topology of the PnC air hole lattice. Practically, this can have profound implications because: while incoherent boundary scattering depends only on the shape, size, and separation of the holes; coherent boundary scattering additionally depends on the symmetry and topology by which these holes are distributed. Thus, the existence of coherent scattering would allow one to further reduce the thermal conductivity of the underlying material without the need for additional boundaries (e.g. more air holes) by simply altering the PnC topology. The claim of coherent phonon scattering in micro scale Si/Air PnCs at room temperature has generated widespread controversy in the literature given the relatively small wavelength characteristic of the phonon population dominating the thermal transport 3,10 14 Experimentally however, the thermal conductivity (k) of PnC samples have consistently been measured to be significantly lower than that of an unpatterned film 2,4,11,13,14 In fact far lower than what would be expected due to the combination of material removal and simple incoherent boundary scattering 2,4,13 thereby suggesting that another k reduction mechanism, possibly coherent scattering, must be taking place. The The 2nd Intenational Conference on Phononics and Thermal Energy Science (PTES2014) Shanghai, China, May 26 May 31, 2014 controversy was heightened by the discovery that ~50% of k in Si is carried by phonons with mean free paths (MFPs) from 100nm up to 1mm15, which was recently verified experimentally 16 Since it is logical to assume that a phonon remains coherent over its MFP, we suggest here that the MFP, rather than wavelength, should be used when judging whether or not coherent scattering events can take place. In which case, a large enough fraction of the phonon population could travel sufficient distances to experience the PnC lattice periodicity and thus undergo coherent scattering. We report on the experimental observation of coherent phonon boundary scattering in micro scale phononic crystals (PnCs) at room temperature. We investigate the existence of coherent phonon boundary scattering resulting from the periodic topology of the PnCs and its influence on the thermal in silicon. To delaminate incoherent from coherent boundary scattering, PnCs with a fixed minimum feature size, differing only in the unit cell topologies, were fabricated. A suspended island platform was used to measure the thermal conductivity. We show that the neglecting coherent boundary scattering leads to gross overestimation of the measured thermal conductivities of the PnC samples. We introduce a hybrid model that accounts for partial coherent and partial incoherent phonon boundary scattering. Excellent agreement with the experiment is achieved emphasizing the influence of coherent zone folding in PnCs. Our results yield conclusive evidence that significant room temperature coherent phonon boundary scattering does indeed take place. References 1 Slack, G. A. CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics.

El simulador electrostatico esta basado en la aproximacion de masa efectiva no parabolica [Jin2007] siendo capaz de tratar con geometrias, materiales y orientaciones arbitrarias para obtener las distribuciones de carga y potencial en la seccion transversal bidimensional de la estructura MuG [Marin2012] El simulador de transporte linealiza la ecuacion de transporte unidimensional de Boltzmann, usando la aproximacion de tiempo de relajacion del momento, MRT del ingles Momentum Relaxation Time, [Esseni2011] resolviendo el sistema resultante de manera implicta. Ademas incluye modelos novedosos de dispersion debida a rugosidad superficial [Stanojevic2013,Jin2013] cargas coulombianas [Ning1972,Gamiz1994,Gamiz2002] fonones bulk [Kotlyar2004,Jin2007, Ashcroft1976,Tienda2012] fonones opticos polares [OReagan2010,Wang1993,Leburton1992] y desorden por aleacion [Bastard1988,Pham2007] Adicionalmente, se ha desarrollado un modelo completamente analitico que describe el comportamiento electrostatico de nanohilos [Marin2012b] NW del ingles nanowire. Es, hasta donde alcanza nuestro conocimiento, la descripcion analitica mas completa de la distribucion de la carga y el potencial en NWs cilindricos fabricados con materiales III V presentada en la literatura hasta la fecha. El modelo proporciona expresiones analiticas para calcular la energia de las subbandas y las funciones de onda del valle Gamma, teniendo en cuenta la penetracion de la funcion de onda en el aislante y la discontinuidad en la masa efectiva en la interfaz entre el aislante y el semiconductor, asi como estadistica de Fermi Dirac, confinamiento bidimensional de los portadores y la no parabolicidad de la banda de conduccion. Tambien permite incluir un perfil arbitrario de estados en la interfaz. Haciendo uso de las aproximaciones numerica y analitica, se realizan varios estudios relevantes de caracter electrostatico y del transporte en Trigates y NWs. Estas dos estructuras son especialmente siginificativas puesto que constituyen las arquitecturas MuG mas consolidadas. Los Trigate introducen pocos cambios respecto al proceso de fabricacion planar tradicional, al mismo tiempo que incrementan el control electrosatico del canal [Radosavljevic2010,Colinge2004] Los NWs son la evolucion ultima de las arquitecturas MuG, proporcionando la mayor supresion de los efectos de canal corto [delAlamo2011] De esta manera, usando el enfoque analitico se estudia la influencia del tamano del dispositivo y el tipo de material en la carga en inversion, la corriente de drenador, la capacidad de puerta y la tension umbral en nanohilos III V [Marin2013,Marin2014] Para completar el estudio analitico, los simuladores numericos desarrollados se han utilizado para comprender el papel del valle L en las propiedades electrostaticas y de transporte, concluyendo que tiene un influencia no despreciable a medida que el tamano del dispositivo se reduce. El enfoque numerico se usa tambien para comparar el comportamiento de estructuras Trigate de Si y materiales III V. El impacto de la anchura del Trigate y de la puerta trasera es analizada, mostrando que: a) el incremento de la movilidad observado para Trigates III V se degrada cuando la anchura se reduce y b) el control de la puerta trasera sobre la tension umbral afecta directamente a la movilidad [Ruiz2013,Ruiz2013] Finalmente, la rugosidad superficial se revela como el principal mecanismo de dispersion limitador de la movilidad para la gran mayoria de tamanos y materiales a alto campo, siendo su comportamiento a bajo campo mas complicado y muy dependiente del tamano y material empleados.

InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs are a possible solution for two current issues of the semiconductor industry: Monolithic integration of photonic devices based on III V semiconductors with silicon based electronics, and realization of a fast and non volatile electronic memory. The present thesis lays the groundwork for technological applications of InxGa1 xAs/ GaP QDs. The fabrication of InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy and control of their structural properties like size and areal density via parameters of the epitaxial process are being developed. The structure of the QDs can be linked directly to their optical and electronic properties. Thus, the QDs can be tailored to fit a specific application. The electronic structure of InxGa1 xAs/GaP heterostructures generally is indirect in reciprocal and/or direct space due to high material strain. For the first time, the present work demonstrates a way to reduce this material strain and to fabricate InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs with high efficient optical recombination channels, which is crucial for photonic devices. Besides technological applications, InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs thereby present an ideal system to study fundamental interaction processes of QDs with surrounding material in dependence upon their electronic structure. First detailed analysis of the electronic structure of InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs by means of optical and capacitance spectroscopy is presented. The theoretically predicted electronic structure of InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs at the threshold between indirect and direct optical recombinations is confirmed. An evaluation of the technological potential of InxGa1 xAs/GaP QDs for electronic memories yields a storage time at room temperature three orders of magnitude larger compared to InxGa1 xAs/GaAs QDs. A non volatile memory can be realized by systematic further development of the GaP based material system. Teile dieser Arbeit wurden bereits veroffentlicht: G. Stracke, E. M. Sala, S. Selve, T.

n type organic semiconductor
[ { "abstract": "During the past decade, it has been shown that light matter strong coupling of materials can lead to modified and often improved properties which has stimulated considerable interest. While charge transport can be enhanced in n type organic semiconductors by coupling the electronic transition and thereby splitting the conduction band into polaritonic states, it is not clear whether the same process can also influence carrier transport in the valence band of p type semiconductors. Here we demonstrate that it is indeed possible to enhance both the conductivity and photoconductivity of a p type semiconductor rr P3HT that is ultrastrongly coupled to plasmonic modes. It is due to the hybrid light matter character of the virtual polaritonic excitations affecting the linear response of the material. Furthermore, in addition to being enhanced, the photoconductivity of rr P3HT shows a modified spectral response due to the formation of the hybrid polaritonic states.

[ { "abstract": "Tremendous progress has been witnessed in artificial intelligence within the domain of neural network backed deep learning systems and its applications. As we approach the post Moore's Law era, the limit of semiconductor fabrication technology along with a rapid increase in data generation rates have lead to an impending growing challenge of tackling newer and more modern machine learning problems. In parallel, quantum computing has exhibited rapid development in recent years. Due to the potential of a quantum speedup, quantum based learning applications have become an area of significant interest, in hopes that we can leverage quantum systems to solve classical problems. In this work, we propose a quantum deep learning architecture; we demonstrate our quantum neural network architecture on tasks ranging from binary and multi class classification to generative modelling. Powered by a modified quantum differentiation function along with a hybrid quantum classic design, our architecture encodes the data with a reduced number of qubits and generates a quantum circuit, loading it onto a quantum platform where the model learns the optimal states iteratively. We conduct intensive experiments on both the local computing environment and IBM Q quantum platform. The evaluation results demonstrate that our architecture is able to outperform Tensorflow Quantum by up to 12.51% and 11.71% for a comparable classic deep neural network on the task of classification trained with the same network settings. Furthermore, our GAN architecture runs the discriminator and the generator purely on quantum hardware and utilizes the swap test on qubits to calculate the values of loss functions. In comparing our quantum GAN, we note our architecture is able to achieve similar performance with 98.5% reduction on the parameter set when compared to classical GANs. With the same number of parameters, additionally, QuGAN outperforms other quantum based GANs in the literature for up to 125.0% in terms of similarity between generated distributions and original data sets.

Here, we demonstrate a fiber shaped triboiontronic electrochemical transistor with good electrical performances, including a current on/off ratio as high as 1286 with off current at ~nA level, the average threshold displacements (Dth) of 0.3 mm, the subthreshold swing corresponding to displacement (SSD) at 1.6 mm/dec, and excellent flexibility and durability. The proposed triboiontronic electrochemical transistor has great potential to be used in flexible, functional, and smart self powered electronic textile.", "author_names": [ "Shanshan Qin", "Huai Zhang", "Yichen Wei", "Xiaoxiao Zhu", "Ya Yang", "Qijun Sun" ], "corpus_id": 233218283, "doc_id": "233218283", "n_citations": 0, "n_key_citations": 0, "score": 0, "title": "Fiber Shaped Triboiontronic Electrochemical Transistor", "venue": "Research", "year": 2021 }, { "abstract": "With the rapid development of society, the burden of energy and the environment is becoming more and more serious. Photocatalytic hydrogen production, the photosynthesis of organic fuel, and the photodegradation of pollutants are three effective ways to reduce these burdens using semiconductor photocatalysts. To improve the reaction efficiency of photocatalysts, a small amount of cocatalyst is often added when photocatalysts participate in the synthesis or decomposition reaction. The addition of this small amount of cocatalyst is like a finishing touch, significantly increasing the activity of the photocatalysts. However, in our common study of photocatalysis, we often pay attention to the study of photocatalysts but ignore the study of cocatalysts. Herein, we summarize the recent application research on cocatalysts in the field of photocatalysis, starting from the types, preparation methods, and reaction mechanisms among others, to remind researchers of the matters needing attention when using cocatalysts.", "author_names": [ "Gang Zhao", "Xijin Xu" ], "corpus_id": 235379517, "doc_id": "235379517", "n_citations": 0, "n_key_citations": 0, "score": 1, "title": "Cocatalysts from types, preparation to applications in the field of photocatalysis.", "venue": "Nanoscale", "year": 2021 }, { "abstract": "Over the past several decades, organic conjugated materials as semiconductors in organic field effect transistors (OFETs) have attracted more and more attention from the scientific community due to their intriguing properties of mechanical flexibility and solution processability. However, the device fabrication technique, design, and synthesis of novel organic semiconductor materials with high charge carrier mobility is crucial for the development of high performance OFETs. In the past few years, more and more novel materials were designed and tested in the OFETs. Among which, diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and its derivatives, as the electron acceptors to build donor acceptor (D A) typed materials, are the perspective. In this article, recently reported molecules regarding the DPP and its derivatives for OFETs application are reviewed. In addition, the relationship between the chemical structures and the performance of the device are discussed.
