Effect of plasma surface pre-treatment on plastic substrate for ZnO TFT

Controlling the surface morphologies of ZnO nanostructures is a critical issue for the fabrication of electronic and photonic devices. This study reports the electrical properties of the ZnO nanostructure grown on the plasma surface pre-treated plastic substrates. The ZnO films were grown by using solution method with zinc nitrate hexahydrate Zn(NO3)2•6H2O and hexamethylenetetramine C12H6N4.as the main solution under various deposition conditions. The films with plasma surface pre-treatment has stronger (100) peak intensity than that without plasma surface pre-treatment. Also, very uniform grain size of the ZnO nanostructures can be seen. The fabricated enhancement mode ZnO thin film transistors (TFTs) exhibiting good transistor behavior with the drain saturation current of 38.1 µA at VGS = 35 V can be achieved.

Fuzzy-PID in BLDC Motor Speed Control Using MATLAB/Simulink

Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are one of the most widely used types of DC motors, both in the industrial and automotive fields. BLDC motor was chosen because it has many advantages over other types of electric motors. However, in its application in the market, most of the control systems used in BLDC motors still use conventional controls. This conventional method is easy and simple to apply but has many weaknesses, one example is that if the system state changes, then the parameters of the PID must also be changed so that static and dynamic performance will decrease, causing slow response and frequent oscillations. In this study, the design and simulation of a speed control system for BLDC motors using the Fuzzy-PID method were carried out. The research method is performed through simulation with Matlab / Simulink. The simulation is carried out by providing a speed setpoint input of 650 rpm and used 2 methods, namely Fuzzy-PID Logic and Pi conventional method which was carried out for 1 second. The test results show that the Fuzzy-PID control can provide better and more stable performance than the conventional PI control. The use of Fuzzy-PID control can reduce speed fluctuation and torque stability so that the BLDC motor can operate more efficiently and reliably

Performance Analysis of SM-MISO with Q-CSIT in Wireless Sensor Network

In this paper, we investigate the role of Q-CSIT in SM-MISO for wireless sensor networks system. The SN are connected to the CH, it is modeled as a MISO system. Spatial modulation has an advantage over a conventional MIMO system which does not require multiple radio frequency chains as many as the number of transmit antennas. The Q-CSIT is aimed to estimate the faded wireless channel with a limited/finite number of bits. The finite number of feedback bits trigger the SN adapt automatically its AMC modes. Adaptation of the AMC modes causes a changing of transmit power and transmission rate, these changes will make a better probability of error. The numerical results show that bigger the number of feedback bits yields better SER. Furthermore, lower spatial correlation generates a better probability of error. The last, quality of wireless channel that is stated in SNR also dominantly influences the performance of SM – MISO system

High-Mobility Pentacene-Based Thin-Film Transistors With a Solution-Processed Barium Titanate Insulator

Abstract—Pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with solution-processed barium titanate (Ba1.2Ti0.8O3) as a gate insulator are demonstrated. The electrical properties of pentacene-based TFTs show a high field-effect mobility of 8.85 cm2 · V−1 · s−1, a low threshold voltage of −1.89 V, and a low subthreshold slope swing of 310 mV/decade. The chemical composition and binding energy of solution-processed barium titanate thin films are analyzed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The matching surface energy on the surface of the barium titanate thin film is 43.12 mJ · m−2, which leads to Stranski–Krastanov mode growth, and thus, high mobility is exhibited in pentacene-based TFTs. Index Terms—Barium titanate, high field-effect mobility, high permittivity, organic thin-filmtransistor (OTFT), solution process

Pentacene-Based Thin-Film Transistors With a Solution-Process Hafnium Oxide Insulator

Abstract—Pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors with solution-process hafnium oxide (HfOx) as gate insulating layer have been demonstrated. The solution-process HfOx could not only exhibit a high-permittivity (κ = 11) dielectric constant but also has good dielectric strength. Moreover, the root-mean-square surface roughness and surface energy (γs) on the surface of the HfOx layer were 1.304 nm and 34.24 mJ/cm2, respectively. The smooth, as well as hydrophobic, surface of HfOx could facilitate the direct deposition of the pentacene film without an additional polymer treatment layer, leading to a high field-effect mobility of 3.8 cm2/(V · s). Index Terms—Hafnium oxide, high permittivity, organic thinfilm transistor (OTFT), solution process, surface energy

Induction Motor Torque Measurement using Prony Brake System and Close-loop Speed Control

Three-phase induction motors are the main drivers of the industrial world because of their low price and good reliability. However, this type of motor does not have built-in speed control. These problems can be overcome by utilizing the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) inverter. This research investigates the induction motor's characteristics in every load condition and combines a VFD inverter with an external speed controller based on Arduino. The motor is mounted on a Prony brake testbed frame to measure the motor's torque and mechanical power. The test results show the highest torque value obtained is 0.57 Nm, and the highest output power value is 0.042 kW. The motor cannot maintain the setpoint speed after loading in the open-loop control system. Meanwhile, the closed-loop control system has been successfully implemented, and the motor can return the speed to the setpoint value after loading, with an average settling time of 14.67 seconds
