    Water based Remazol Orange was utilized as the dye sensitizer for dye sensitized solar cell. The annealing temperature of TiO2 working electrode was set at 450 °C. The performance of the device was investigated between dye concentrations of 0.25 mM and 2.5 mM at three different immersion times (3, 12 and 24 hours). The adsorption peak of the dye sensitizer was evaluated using UV-Vis-Nir and the device performance was tested using solar cell simulator. The results show that the performance was increased at higher dye concentration and longer immersion time. The best device performance was obtained at 0.2% for dye concentration of 2.5 mM immersed at 24 hours.

    A planar device known as the Self-Switching Diode (SSD) has been demonstrated as a high-speed rectifier, up to terahertz frequencies. The rectifying properties of SSD are dependent on a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of the device. In this research, the rectification of two SSD rectifiers has been reported and their performances were evaluated. The observed results showed a good agreement with the nonlinear theoretical analysis of both rectifiers by means of a Taylor series which can be utilized in improving the rectifying performance of any diode-based rectifier specifically for diodes with tunable threshold voltage such as SSDs.

    A mixer is used in almost all radio frequency (RF) or microwave systems for frequency translation. Nowadays, the increase market demand encouraged the industry to deliver circuit designs to create proficient and convenient equipment with very low power (LP) consumption and low voltage (LV) supply in both digital and analogue circuits. This paper focused on different Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) design topologies for LV and LP mixer design. Floating Gate Metal Oxide Semiconductor (FGMOS) is an alternative technology to replace CMOS due to their high ability for LV and LP applications. FGMOS only required a few transistors per gate and can have a shift in threshold voltage (VTH) to increase the LP and LV performances as compared to CMOS, which makes an attractive option to replace CMOS.

    Logic gates are the main components inside the integrated circuit used for almost every technological application. Nowadays, in order to enhance the performance of the smart device, while targeting in cut down of the fabrication cost and achieve low power consumption, lithography-based VLSI design technology on silicon are still being widely applied. Hence, an OR gate structure, a silicon based self-switching device (SSD) is introduced and investigated in this project. Such device is believed capable to act as an alternative for a low-powered logic gate application, suitable for CMOS devices. The SSD has an advantage in term of simplicity in fabrication process with a very low threshold voltage. Since SSD characteristics is similar to a conventional diode characteristic, the gate is designed in ATLAS Silvaco device simulator based on a diode logic to perform OR logic function after a validation of the physical and materials parameters. The electrical characterization and structural analysis were also done to observe the electrical performance and physical condition in the device. The simulated design showed a good OR logic output response with the inputs, and acceptable output ranged from around 4.5 to 4.8 V with 5 V HIGH inputs. The results from this OR gate characterization may assist in developing the logic gate for device integration and may act as a reference for future complex integrated circuit design.

    Recently, simulations of In0.48Ga0.52As-based Planar Barrier Diode (PBD) and Self- Switching Device (SSD) as millimeter-wave rectifiers were reported. Both PBD and SSD have a planar structure, but with different insulating shapes and working principles. In this work, a hybrid structure of the reported PBD and SSD in a parallel configuration is proposed, to exploit the advantages of each device. The advantages of high rectifying properties in the SSD and fast switching rate of the PBD are combined in this hybrid structure in order to obtain an improved rectification performance at zero-bias in the near terahertz frequency region. Analysis of the curvature co-efficient, γ, which is defined as the ratio of the second order to the first order derivative of the device’s I-V function was performed to evaluate the rectification performance. AC transient analyses were then executed in various frequencies to imitate the high-frequency signal inputs. By using this hybrid structure, the highest value of γ achieved has been improved to ~19 V-1 at 70 mV, and ~6 V-1 at zero- bias (compared to the previous results on PBDs). The estimated cut-off frequency obtained was ~360 GHz (0.36 THz), operating at zero-bias.

    We report a comprehensive etching study on the gate recess step for the fabrication of the novel high speed pHEMT devices. The experiments focused on the elimination of 'hump' structure as a result of an incomplete etching process at the InGaAs cap layer. In this work, two types of test samples were used, namely bulk InGaAs and epitaxial structure together with an etch stop layer. The result showed that the etch rate of bulk InGaAs is about 360 A/min and the percentage of dome height is consistent at approximately 25%. Meanwhile, the study on pHEMT epitaxial layer showed that the etching time of 3 minutes is sufficient in order to completely remove the cap layer. Gate leakage current of magnitude more than 10 times lower is observed on the devices that engaging Succinic Acid as the gate recess etching agent. The optimized processing steps will tailor for highly reproducible pHEMT fabrication process for high speed applications.

    The rapid growth of wireless technology has improved the network’s technology from 4G to 5G, with sub-6 GHz being the centre of attention as the primary communication spectrum band. To effectively benefit this exclusive network, the improvement in the mm-wave detection of this range is crucial. In this work, a silicon self-switching device (SSD) based full-wave bridge rectifier was proposed as a candidate for a usable RF-DC converter in this frequency range. SSD has a similar operation to a conventional pn junction diode, but with advantages in fabrication simplicity where it does not require doping and junctions. The optimized structure of the SSD was cascaded and arranged to create a functional full-wave bridge rectifier with a quadratic relationship between the input voltage and outputs current. AC transient analysis and theoretical calculation performed on the full-wave rectifier shows an estimated cut-off frequency at ~12 GHz, with calculated responsivity and noise equivalent power of 1956.72 V/W and 2.3753 pW/Hz1/2, respectively. These results show the capability of silicon SSD to function as a full-wave bridge rectifier and is a potential candidate for RF-DC conversion in the targeted 5G frequency band and can be exploited for future energy harvesting application.

    This paper presents the design and optimisation of film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) using nano electro mechanical systems (NEMS) technology in 10-20 GHz frequency band. The effect of thickness, width and length and damping factor of the FBAR are analysed. The air-gap FBAR are designed due its ability to achieve high quality (Q) factor in 10-20 GHz frequency band. The proposed designs achieve a constant electromechanical coupling coefficient for 10-20 GHz. Analysis shows the Q varies highly dependent on the damping factor. The results show that the proposed design achieves almost double the Q factor at 15 GHz and 20 GHz operation when compared to similar designs.

    By introducing a funnel-shape semiconductor channel to create an asymmetrical energy barrier profile, a type of nonlinear device has been proposed and simulated which is referred as planar barrier diode (pbd). An applied voltage v across a pbd provides different height of the barrier depending on the sign of v. This results in a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic that resembles a typical diode behavior and therefore it can be used in signal rectification. The intrinsic cut-off frequency obtained in the simulation of the p-type silicon pbd rectifier was ∼15 ghz.
