Metal nanowires with high linearity, method for producing the metal nanowires and transparent conductive film including the metal nanowires

Metal nanowires with high linearity can be produced using metal salts at a relatively low temperature. A transparent conductive film can be formed using the metal nanowires. Particularly, the transparent conductive film has high transmittance, low sheet resistance, and good thermal, chemical and mechanical stability. The transparent conductive film has a high electrical conductivity due to the high linearity of the metal nanowires. The metal nanowires take up 5% or less of the volume of the transparent conductive film, ensuring high transmittance of the transparent conductive film. Furthermore, the metal nanowires are useful as replacements for existing conductive materials, such as ITO, conductive polymers, carbon nanotubes and graphene. The metal nanowires can be applied to flexible substrates and other various substrates due to their good adhesion and high applicability to the substrates. Moreover, the metal nanowires can find application in various fields, such as displays and solar cell devices.

Method of growing semi-insulating GaN layer

Disclosed herein is a method for growing a semi-insulating GaN layer with high sheet resistance by controlling the size of grains through changes in growth temperature at the initial growth stage of the layer, without doping of dopants. The method comprises the steps of growing a buffer layer on a substrate at a first growth temperature, growing a GaN layer on the buffer layer at a second growth temperature higher than the first growth temperature for a first growth time (a first growth step), growing the GaN layer at increasing temperatures from the second growth temperature to a third growth temperature higher than the second growth temperature for a second growth time (a second growth step), and growing the GaN layer at the third growth temperature for a third growth time (a third growth step).

Junction termination structures for wide-bandgap power devices

Disclosed are a variety of junction termination structures for high voltage semiconductor power devices. The structures are specifically aimed at providing a high breakdown voltage while being constructed with a minimal number of process steps. The combination of an RIE etch and / or implantation and anneal process with a finely patterned mesh provides the desired radial gradient for maximum breakdown voltage. The structures provide control of both the conductivity and charge density within the region. These structures can beneficially be applied to all high voltage semiconductor device structures, but are of particular interest for wide bandgap devices as they tend to have very high breakdown fields and scaled dimensions of the depletion layer width.

Solar cells having graded doped regions and methods of making solar cells having graded doped regions

A photovoltaic cell having a graded doped region such as a graded emitter and methods of making photovoltaic cells having graded doped regions such as a graded emitter are disclosed. Doping is adjusted across a surface to minimize resistive (I2R) power losses. The graded emitters provide a gradual change in sheet resistance over the entire distance between the lines. The graded emitter profile may have a lower sheet resistance near the metal lines and a higher sheet resistance farther from the metal line edges. The sheet resistance is graded such that the sheet resistance is lower where I2R power losses are highest due to current crowding. One advantage of graded emitters over selective emitters is improved efficiency. An additional advantage of graded emitters over selective emitters is improved ease of aligning metallization to the low sheet resistance regions.
