In this paper, we present the results of the study on the fabrication of inverted pyramids on n-type Si wafer by a single-step anisotropic copper-assisted chemical etching. The relationship between etchant composition, etching time and the surface morphology for n-type Si has been investigated. Different surface structures were obtained by adjusting molarity of H2O2, Cu(NO3)(2), HF in the etching solution. Cu(NO3)(2) amount promoted, while increasing H2O2 amount over optimum value reduced the etch rate. By optimizing etching duration, etching temperature and etchant composition, uniform distribution of inverted pyramids with dimensions around 2 mu m was achieved. Surface average weighted reflectance was reduced to 5.67% in the wavelength range of 400-1000 nm with novel surface texturing method.

Single layer microbolometer detector pixel using ZnO material TANRIKULU, MAHMUD YUSUF; Yildizak, Cigdem; Okyay, Ali K.; Akar, Orhan; Sarac, Adem; Akın, Tayfun (2018-04-19) This paper presents the development of a single layer microbolometer pixel fabricated using only ZnO material coated with atomic layer deposition. Due to the stress-free nature and high temperature coefficient of resistance of the ALD coated ZnO material, it can be used both as structural and active layers in microbolometer detectors. The design, simulations, and the fabrication optimization of 35. m single layer ZnO microbolometers are shown in this study. The designed pixel has a thermal conductance of 3....
Single- and double-helix vortex breakdown as two dominant global modes in turbulent swirling jet flow Vanierschot, Maarten; Mueller, Jens S.; Sieber, Moritz; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Oberleithner, Kilian (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020-01-25) In this paper, we study the shape and dynamics of helical coherent structures found in the flow field of an annular swirling jet undergoing vortex breakdown. The flow field is studied by means of time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry measurements. The obtained flow fields are analysed using both classic and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition. Despite the simple geometrical set-up of the annular jet, the flow field is very complex. Two distinct large-scale helical flow structures are ide...
Time-domain mapping of electromagnetic ray movement inside anisotropic spherical resonator Biber, A; Golick, A; Tomak, Mehmet (2002-09-01) This paper presents the analytical proof of "Time-Domain Mapping Method" for the spherical resonator made up of uniaxial crystal. In this way, the main types of caustics inside the spherical resonator made up of uniaxial crystal, which were investigated numerically before, are confirmed analytically. It is engraved that the problem of the ray flow inside the spherical resonator can be reduced to the problem of the ray flow inside metal cavity shaped as spheroid.
Visible and 1.54 mu m Emission From Amorphous Silicon Nitride Films by Reactive Cosputtering Yerci, Selçuk; Kucheyev, Sergei O.; VAN BUUREN, Tony; Basu, Soumendra N.; Dal Negro, Luca (2010-01-01) In this paper, we present our main results on the structural and optical properties of light-emitting amorphous silicon nitride (SiN(x)) films fabricated by reactive magnetron cosputtering. In particular, we discuss the origin of the visible emission in amorphous silicon nitride films and investigate the optical emission properties of Erbium-doped amorphous silicon nitride (Er:SiN(x)). The mechanisms of Er excitation and de-excitation in Er:SiN(x) are discussed in relation to the engineering of efficient li...
Symmetrical and decoupled nickel microgyroscope on insulating substrate Alper, Se; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV, 2004-09-21) This paper presents a symmetrical and decoupled surface micromachined gyroscope fabricated by electroforming thick nickel on a glass substrate. The symmetric structure allows matched resonant frequencies for the drive and sense vibration modes for improved sensitivity, while the decoupled drive and sense oscillation modes prevents unstable operation due to mechanical coupling, resulting in a low zero-rate output drift. The use of a glass substrate instead of a silicon substrate reduces noise due to the para...
