One reason for peak voltage is the resonance of the transformer's leakage inductance and the rectifier diodes' junction capacitances. The other reason is that the fast reverse recovery current of the rectifier diodes flows through the transformer's leakage inductance. An H bridge composed of four diodes,an auxiliary inductance, and a clamping winding were adopted in the proposed converter,and peak voltage was suppressed by varying the equivalent inductance, principally in different operating modes. Experimental results demonstrate that the peak voltage of rectifier diodes decreases by 43%,the auxiliary circuit does not lead to additional loss, and the rising rate, resonant frequency,and amplitude of the rectifier diodes' voltage decrease.Peak voltage and electromagnetic interference( EMI) of rectifier diodes are suppressed.展开更多

By embedding a p+implant region into the drain of NMOS in the traditional LVTSCR, a reversed Zener diode is formed by the p+implant region and the n+bridge, which helps to improve the holding voltage and decrease the snapback region.The physical mechanisms of the LVTSCR and DC-LVTSCR are investigated in detail by transmission line pulse(TLP)tests and TCAD simulations. The TLP test results show that, compared with the traditional LVTSCR, the DC-LVTSCR exhibits a higher holding voltage of 6.2 V due to the embedded clamping diode. By further optimizing a key parameter of the DC-LVTSCR, the holding voltage can be effectively increased to 8.7 V.

We build up accurate models of the diodes to improve the accuracy of the design of the rectifier. Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the diodes, a new band-stop structure is introduced to reduce the imaginary part impedance and suppress harmonics. A novel structure with double branches and an optimized λ/4 microstrip line is proposed to realize the power division ratio adjustment by the input power automatically. The proposed two branches can satisfy the two cases with input power of-20 dBm to 0 dBm and 0 dBm to 15 dBm, respectively. Here, dBm = 10 log(P mW), and P represents power. An impedance compression network(ICN) is correspondingly designed to maintain the input impedance stability over the wide input power range. A rectifier that works at 2.45 GHz is implemented. The measured results show that the highest efficiency can reach 51.5% at the output power of 0 dBm and higher than 40% at the input power of-5 dBm to 12 dBm.展开更多

The resultant diodes with an area of 7.85 ×10^(-5) cm^2 exhibited excellent rectifying characteristics with an ideality factor of 1.21, a forward current density(J) of 127.4 A/cm2 at 1.4 V, a specific on-state resistance(R_(on,sp)) of1.54 mΩ·cm^2,and an ultra-high on/off ratio of 2.1 ×10^(11) at±1 V. Due to a small depletion region in the highly-doped substrate, a breakdown feature was observed at-23 V, which corresponded to a breakdown field of 2.1 MV/cm and a power figure-of-merit(VB2/R_(on)) of 3.4×10~5 W/cm^2. Forward current-voltage characteristics were described well by the thermionic emission theory while thermionic field emission and trap-assisted tunneling were the dominant transport mechanisms at low and high reverse biases, respectively, which was a result of the contribution of deep-level traps at the metal-semiconductor interface. The presence of interfacial traps also caused the difference in Schottky barrier heights of 1.31 eV and 1.64 eV respectively determined by current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics. With reduced trapping effect and incorporation of drift layers, the β-Ga_2 O_3 SBDs could further provide promising materials for delivering both high current output and high breakdown voltage.展开更多

The calculated results show that the ABNNR device doped with carbon atoms in one of the electrodes acts as a high performance nanoribbon rectifier. It is interesting to find that there exists a particular bias-polarity-dependent matching band between two electrodes,leading to a similar current-voltage（I-V） behavior as conventional P-N diodes. The I-V behavior presents a linear positive-bias I-V characteristic,an absolutely negligible leakage current,and a stable rectifying property under a large bias region. The results suggest that C doping might be an effective way to raise ABNNRs devices＇ rectifying performance.展开更多

Forward current-voltage characteristics were described well by the thermionic emission theory while thermionic field emission and trap-assisted tunneling were the dominant transport mechanisms at low and high reverse biases, respectively, which was a result of the contribution of deep-level traps at the metal-semiconductor interface. The presence of interfacial traps also caused the difference in Schottky barrier heights of 1.31 eV and 1.64 eV respectively determined by current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics.

文摘This paper presents a cascode configuration synchronous rectifier device based on silicon MOSFET and Schottky diode,which can replace traditional power diode directly.This structure has self-driven ability with simple external circuit,and the conduction characteristic is preferable to a power diode.Static characterization and switching behavior analysis of proposed structure are conducted in this paper.The switching process is illustrated in detail using real model which considers the parasitic inductances and the nonlinearity of junction capacitors.The real time internal voltage and current value during switching transition are deduced with the equivalent circuit.To validate the analysis,two voltage specification rectifiers are built.Finally,double-pulse test results and the practical design example verify the performance advantages of proposed structure.
文摘Energy harvesting is a rapidly growing area in many scientific and engineering-related fields due to the demand for many applications. This paper focuses on the design and simulation of the voltage doubler rectifier circuit at 2.45 GHz operating frequency. The design of a rectifier is optimized based on the use of Schottky diode HSMS 286 B due to its low forward voltage at this frequency. 2 stages of the Schottky diode voltage doublers circuit are designed and simulated in this paper. The shunt capacitor and optimal load resistance are also introduced in the course to reduce signal loss. A multi-stage rectifier is used to produce maximum power conversion from AC to DC. The simulated results present that the maximum output voltage of 6.651 V with an input power of 25 dBm is produced, which presents a maximum power conversion efficiency of 73.13%, which applicable in small device applications.

文摘The electronic transport properties of armchair-edged boron nitride nanoribbons（ABNNRs） devices were investigated by the first principle calculations. The calculated results show that the ABNNR device doped with carbon atoms in one of the electrodes acts as a high performance nanoribbon rectifier. It is interesting to find that there exists a particular bias-polarity-dependent matching band between two electrodes,leading to a similar current-voltage（I-V） behavior as conventional P-N diodes. The I-V behavior presents a linear positive-bias I-V characteristic,an absolutely negligible leakage current,and a stable rectifying property under a large bias region. The results suggest that C doping might be an effective way to raise ABNNRs devices＇ rectifying performance.

文摘This study analyzes the stability and reactive characteristics of the hybrid offshore wind farm that includes gridforming(GFM)and grid-following(GFL)wind turbines(WTs)integrated with a diode rectifier unit(DRU)based high-voltage direct current(HVDC)system.The determination method for the proportion of GFM WTs is proposed while considering system stability and optimal offshore reactive power constraints.First,the small-signal stability is studied based on the developed linear model,and crucial factors that affect the stability are captured by eigenvalue analysis.The reactive power-frequency compensation control of GFM WTs is then proposed to improve the reactive power and frequency dynamics.Second,the relationship between offshore reactive power imbalance and the effectiveness of GFM capability is analyzed.Offshore reactive power optimization methods are next proposed to diminish offshore reactive load.These methods include the optimal design for the reactive capacity of the AC filter and the reactive power compensation control of GFL WTs.Third,in terms of stability and optimal offshore reactive power constraints,the principle and calculation method for determining the proportion of GFM WTs are proposed,and the critical proportion of GFM WTs is determined over the full active power range.Finally,case studies using a detailed model are conducted by timedomain simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC.The simulations verify the theoretical analysis results and the effectiveness of the proposed determination method for the proportion of GFM WTs and reactive power optimization methods.

文摘Molecular diodes,which enable directional charge transport at the single-molecule scale,are pivotal components for logic operations in molecular electronics,showing promise for future energy-efficient devices and ultracompact circuits.However,achieving high-performance molecular diodes with high rectification ratios(RR),operation stability,and reliable interconnections for logic operations still remains challenging.Recent advancements adopting noncovalent interactions to form supramolecular assemblies demonstrate promise in addressing this challenge by creating asymmetric electronic coupling while preserving efficient charge transport.In this review,we systematically summarize the designs of molecular diodes from single supramolecular junctions to self-assembled monolayer-based supramolecular junctions,and identify strategies using quantum interference to enhance the RR.These approaches provide valuable perspectives for highperformance single-molecule rectifiers through noncovalent supramolecular interactions,showcasing the potential of future bottom-up integration of molecular electronic devices.
