  • Publication number: 20220069244
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the performance of pentacene organic field-effect transistor (OFET) using n-type semiconductor interlayer: an n-type semiconductor thin film was set between the insulating layer and the polymer electret in the OFET with the structure of gate-electrode/insulating layer/polymer/pentacene/source (drain) electrode. The thickness of n-type semiconductor layer is 1˜200 nm. The induced electrons at the interface of n-type semiconductor and polymer electret lead to the reduction of the height of the hole-barrier formed at the interface of polymer and pentacene, thus effectively reducing the programming/erasing (P/E) gate voltages of pentacene OFET, adjusting the height of hole barrier at the interface of polymer and pentacene to a reasonable scope by controlling the quantity of induced electrons in n-type semiconductor layer, thus improving the performance of pentacene OFET, such as the P/E speeds, P/E endurance and retention characteristics.

  • Patent number: 11231342
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a four-dimensional imaging method for structural damage based on a time-invariant characteristic signal. The method first uses a probability statistical modeling method to describe the uncertainty distribution of the amplitude of each sampling point in the signal in the healthy state and the damaged state of the structure, respectively. Then the degree of difference between the two distributions at each point is measured to suppress the influence of the time-varying factor, highlight the influence of damage, and construct a time-invariant characteristic signal. Finally, the time-invariant characteristic signal of the pitch-catch channel is fused by using the guided wave imaging method to further enhance the influence of damage. Based on this, four-dimensional imaging is performed to achieve reliable and accurate location of structural damage.

  • Publication number: 20220013739
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the performance of pentacene organic field-effect transistor (OFET): an n-type semiconductor thin film was set as a buffer layer between pentacene and polymer electret in the OFET with the structure of gate-electrode/insulating layer/polymer/pentacene/source (drain) electrode. The thickness of n-type organic buffer layer is 1˜100 nm. The induced electrons at the interface lead to the reduction of the height of the hole-barrier formed at the interface, thus effectively reducing the programming/erasing (P/E) gate voltages of pentacene OFET. The widened distribution region of positive space charges caused by ionized donors in n-type organic buffer layer effectively restricts the back-transfer of holes from polymer to pentacene, thus improving the performance of pentacene OFET, such as the P/E speeds, P/E endurance and retention characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20210372916
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional diffraction tomography microscopy imaging method based on LED array coded illumination. Firstly, acquiring the raw intensity images, three sets of intensity image stacks are acquired at different out-of-focus positions by moving the stage or using electrically tunable lens. And then, after acquiring the intensity image stacks of the object to be measured at different out-of-focus positions, the three-dimensional phase transfer function of the microscopy imaging system with arbitrary shape illumination is derived. Further, the three-dimensional phase transfer function of the microscopic system under circular and annular illumination with different coherence coefficients is obtained as well, and the three-dimensional quantitative refractive index is reconstructed by inverse Fourier transform of the three-dimensional scattering potential function. The scattering potential function is converted into the refractive index distribution.

  • Publication number: 20210356258
    Abstract: The invention discloses a deep learning-based temporal phase unwrapping method for fringe projection profilometry. First, four sets of three-step phase-shifting fringe patterns with different frequencies (including 1, 8, 32, and 64) are projected to the tested objects. The three-step phase-shifting fringe images acquired by the camera are processed to obtain the wrapped phase map using a three-step phase-shifting algorithm. Then, a multi-frequency temporal phase unwrapping (MF-TPU) algorithm is used to unwrap the wrapped phase map to obtain a fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. A residual convolutional neural network is built, and its input data are set to be the wrapped phase maps with frequencies of 1 and 64, and the output data are set to be the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. Finally, the training dataset and the validation dataset are built to train and validate the network.
