Double-Gate and Body-Contacted Nonvolatile Oxide Memory Thin-Film Transistors for Fast Erase Programming
No full textIn this study, we present programming speed enhancement in amorphous oxide semiconductor memory thin-film transistor (TFT). We developed a nonvolatile memory transistor based on InZnSnO back-channel-etch TFT with InGaZnO charge storage layer inserted between gate insulators. We proposed double-gate (DG) and body-contacted (BC) memory structure to improve memory erase speed, which is the most important issue in oxide memory TFTs. DG memory did not show sufficient improvement due to large voltage drop in second gate insulator. BC memory, which can control back-channel potential directly, showed significant improvement on memory program/erase speed.
High-performance fab-compatible processed near-infrared organic thin-film photodiode with 3.3×10 12 Jones detectivity and 80% external quantum efficiency
No full textA high-performance small molecular near-infrared (NIR) organic photodiode (OPD) including indium (III) phthalocyanine chloride (ClInPc):C60 bulk heterojunction as a photoactive layer is fabricated by using only vacuum processes that are highly compatible with common manufacturing processes used in the photodiode industry. To satisfy simultaneously sufficient absorption of NIR photons, efficient charge extraction, and suppression of undesired dark current injection, the thickness of each constituent layer of NIR-OPD is carefully adjusted. Optical simulations on absorption profiles of NIR photons within a layered OPD structure combined with dark current analyses suggest the optimized device architecture of indium tin oxide/molybdenum oxide/ClInPc:C60 (120 nm)/C60/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline/aluminum. Due to the sufficiently thin active layer thickness, a detectivity (D*) spectrum of the optimized OPD well reflects the absorption feature of ClInPc:C60, with a remarkable detection band at the NIR region with a peak dark-current-based D* of 4.5 × 10 12 Jones and a maximum noise-current-based D* of 3.3 × 10 12 Jones. Furthermore, a low noise equivalent power of 6.13 × 10 −14 W/Hz 0.5 , wide linear dynamic range of 77.2 dB, and fast enough temporal response with a -3dB frequency of 2.85 kHz are demonstrated, that can be ascribed to not only the excellent light absorbing-ability of ClInPc:C60 but also the well-designed diode architecture with effectively suppressed dark current even in a thin active film thickness of 120 nm. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.1
A Low-Power Scan Driver Circuit for Oxide TFTs
No full textThe scan driver composed of oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) tends to exhibit anomalously high power consumption because the oxide TFT often has negative threshold voltage. In order to resolve this problem, we have invented a new scan driver circuit in which most TFTs are turned off with negative V-GS and no TFT with zero V-GS is located between the high and low supply voltages. As a result, we could maintain the power consumption within six times of the normal value in spite of the negative threshold voltage of the oxide TFT
High performance back channel etch metal oxide thin-film transistor with double active layers
No full textWe fabricated high performance back channel etch (BCE) IZO/AIZTO double-layer channel oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) and analyzed their electrical characteristics and photo-stability of the devices. The field-effect mobility of 53.2 cm2/Vs was obtained, and we expect IZO/AIZTO double-layer BCE TFT can be used as a backplane devices for next generation high performance display applications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
