Garcia (author), Etxebarria, J. G. (author), Ziar, H. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Isabella, O. (author)We introduce a novel simulation tool capable of calculating the energy yield of a PV system based on its fundamental material properties and using self-consistent models. Thus, our simulation model can operate without measurements of a PV device. It combines wave and ray optics and a dedicated semiconductor simulation to model the...journal article 2022

Wang, Shihao (author)In recent years, the world has witnessed a dramatic advancement in sustainable energy development. Due to the inconsistent supply of such energy, a more efficient energy storage method is in need. Among many options, lithium-ion battery stands out due to its lightweight, high energy density, and high discharge potential. Currently, the most...master thesis 2020

Hou, F. (author), Wang, Qidong (author), Chen, Min (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author), Wang, Wenbo (author), Ma, R. (author), Su, Meiying (author), Song, Yang (author)In this article, a novel fan-out panel-level printed circuit board (PCB)-embedded package for phase-leg silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) power module is presented. Electro-thermo-mechanical co-design was conducted, and the maximum package parasitic inductance was found to be about 1.24 nH at 100...journal article 2020

Rossing, Lars (author), Scharff, R.B.N. (author), Chömpff, Bryan (author), Wang, C.C. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author)Silicones have desirable properties such as skin-safety, high temperature-resistance, and flexibility. Many applications require the presence of a hard body connected to the silicone. Traditionally, it has been difficult to create strong bonding between silicones and hard materials. In this study, a technique is presented to control the...journal article 2020

Fan, J. (author), Wang, Zhen (author), Zhang, Xunwei (author), Deng, Zentao (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In a high-power white light emitting diode (LED) package, the phosphor/silicone composite is typically used for photometric and colorimetric conversions, ultimately producing the white light. However, the phosphor/silicone composite is always exposed under harsh environments with high temperature, high blue light irradiation and high moisture...journal article 2019

(author), Wang, Tzu Jui (author), Huang, Kuo Chin (author), Yamashita, Yuichiro (author), Yaung, Dun Nian (author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author)We present a high-performance back-illuminated three-dimensional stacked single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), which is implemented in 45-nm CMOS technology for the first time. The SPAD is based on a P<sup>+</sup>/Deep N-well junction with a circular shape, for which N-well is intentionally excluded to achieve a wide depletion region, thus...journal article 2018

Vismara, R. (author), Dane Linssen, N. P. (author), Wang, Ken X. (author), Fan, Shanhui (author), Isabella, O. (author), Zeman, M. (author)We present a modelling study of thin silicon based solar cells endowed with periodic and decoupled front/back textures. After careful optimization, the proposed device models exhibit absorption beyond the Lambertian light trapping limit for a wide range of light angles of incidence. The advanced light management scheme is applied to (nano...conference paper 2018
