The ideality factor n = 1.08 and effective Schottky barrier heightφ= 1.05eV of the SBDs were measured with the method of forward current density-voltage (J-V). A low reverse leakage current below 5.96 ×10^-3A/cm^2 at a bias voltage of - 1. 1kV was obtained. By using B^+ implantation,an amorphous layer as the edge termination was formed. We used the PECVD SiO2 as the field plate dielectric. The SBDs have an on-state current density of 430A/cm^2 at a forward voltage drop of about 4V. The specific on-resistance Ro, was found to be 6. 77mΩ2 · cm^2 .展开更多

This difference results from the interface trap generation and the hot electron injection, and trapping into the thick gate oxide and field oxide of the pLEDMOS transistor. An improved method to reduce the on-resistance degradations is also presented, which uses the field oxide as the gate oxide instead of the thick gate oxide. The effects are analyzed with a MEDICI simulator.展开更多

METHODS: BebNeen April 2001 and October 2009, PGW was performed in 142 patients with native papilla to overcome difficult biliary cannulation. Our cannulation method for ERCP was changed from contrast injection (CI) using a single-lumen catheter (April 2001-May 2008) to wire-guided cannulation (WGC) using a double-lumen catheter (June 2008-October 2009). The CI protocol was also changed during the study period: in the first period it was used for routine pancreatography for detecting small pancreatic cancer (April 2001-November 2002), whereas in the second period it was not (December 2002-May 2008). In PGW with CI using a single- lumen catheter, the contrast medium in the catheter lumen was injected into the pancreatic duct. The success rate of biliary cannulation, the incidence of PEP according to the cannulation method, and the impact of CI using a single-lumen catheter on PEP in comparison with WGC using a double-lumen catheter were investigated.RESULTS: CI with routine pancreatography, CI without routine pancreatography, and WGC were performed in 27 patients, 77 patients and 38 patients, respectively. Routine pancreatography did not contribute to the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in our study period. In CI without routine pancreatography and WGC, diagnostic pancreatography was performed in 17 patients and no patients, respectively. The success rate of biliary cannulation by PGW alone was 69%, and the final success rate was increased to 80.3% by the addition of consecutive maneuvers or a second ERCP. PEP occurred in 22 patients (15.5%), and the severity was mild in all cases. When analyzed according to cannulation method, the incidence of PEP was 37.0% (10/27) in the patients who underwent CI with routine pancreatography, 14.3% (11/77) in those who underwent CI without routine pancreatography, and 2.6% (1/38) in those who underwent WGC. In all patients who underwent CI using a singlelumen catheter, the incidence of PEP was 20% (21/104), which was significantly higher than that in WGC using a double-lumen catheter. In univariate and multivariate analysis, CI using a single-lumen catheter showed a high, statistically significant, odds ratio for PEP after PGW. CONCLUSION: The practice of a cannulation method involving the use of a double-lumen catheter minimizes the CI dose administered to the pancreatic duct and reduces the incidence of PEP after PGW.展开更多

The unique solubility in polar solvents and crosslinkable ability of PFN-C render it a good can- didate for solution processed multilayer PLEDs. It was found that PFN-C can greatly enhance the electron injection from high work-function metal cathode, due to its pendant amino groups. As a result, PLEDs with PFN-C/Al cathode exhibited compara- ble device performance to the devices with Ba/Al cathode. The resulting green light-emitting device showed promising perfor- mance with a maximum luminance efficiency of 13.53 cd A-1.展开更多

It was found that the electron transport capability of F127 can be effectively enhanced by doping with alkali metal salts. By using Li2CO3 (15%) doped F127 as ETL, the resulting device exhibited improved performance with a maximum luminous efficiency (LE) of 13.59 cd/A and a maximum brightness of 5529 cd/m2, while the device with undoped F127 as ETL only showed a maximum LE of 8.78 cd/A and a maximum brightness of 2952 cd/m2. The effects of the doping concentration, cations and anions of the alkali metal salts on the performance of the resulting devices were investigated. It was found that most of the alkali metal salt dopants can dramatically enhance the electron transport capability of F127 ETL and the performance of the resulting devices was greatly improved.展开更多
