  • Publication number: 20240030368
    Abstract: A novel photodiode structure, a preparation method and a circuit structure are provided. The novel photodiode structure includes a substrate having a first doping type, a functional doping area having a second doping type, a surface doping area having the first doping type, and an auxiliary doping area having the second doping type. By forming a non-uniformly doped functional doping area, the present disclosure forms a self-built potential difference in the functional doping area and drives the moving direction of the photogenerated carriers. The photogenerated carriers may be accelerated by the potential difference, so that the collected carriers will directly enter the subsequent circuit through the transport gate. In addition, the loop shape of the auxiliary doping area can increase the area of receiving charges, in a result, the auxiliary doping area can receive the transported carriers faster, thereby further enhancing the transport efficiency of the photogenerated carriers.

  • Patent number: 10173936
    Abstract: An IBTL system having a low GHG footprint for converting biomass to liquid fuels in which a biomass feed is converted to liquids by direct liquefaction and the liquids are upgraded to produce premium fuels. Biomass residues from the direct liquefaction, and optionally additional biomass is pyrolyzed using microwave pyrolysis to produce structured biochar, hydrogen for the liquefaction and upgrading, and CO2 for conversion to algae, including blue green algae (cyanobacteria) in a photobioreactor (PBR). Produced algae and diazotrophic microorganisms are used to produce a biofertilizer that also contains structured biochar. The structured biochar acts as a nucleation agent for the algae in the PBR, as a absorption agent to absorb inorganics from the biomass feed to direct liquefaction or from the liquids produced thereby, and as a water retention agent in the biofertilizer.
