Since the middle of 20th century, plastics have been incorporated into our everyday lives at an exponential rate. In recent years, negative impacts plastics, especially as environmental pollutants, become evident. Marine plastic debris represents a relatively new and increasingly abundant substrate for colonization by microbial organisms, although full functional potential these organisms is ye...

The performance of transistors designed specifically for high-frequency applications is critically reliant upon the semi-insulating electrical properties substrate. suspected formation a conductive path radio frequency (RF) signals in highly resistive (HR) silicon substrate itself has been long held responsible suboptimal efficiency as-grown GaN high electron mobility (HEMTs) at higher operatin...

Abstract Combining a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer (ML) and molecular semiconductors is an attractive route for forming nanoscale hybrid van der Waals heterostructures with potentially novel (opto‐)electronic properties. The energy level alignment at the interface governs these properties, but precise determination of interfacial electronic structure challenging due to pronounced ex...

In mixed-signal designs, substrate coupling of digital circuit noise can severely compromise the behavior of sensitive analog circuits. Proper characterization of substrate noise is therefore indispensable. In this paper, we present an experimental setup for the characterization of directly coupled substrate noise in bulk-type CMOS. We have integrated configurable substrate noise generation and...
