  • METHOD OF FABRICATING PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL
    Publication number: 20160049585
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a perovskite solar cell includes forming a hole transport layer on a transparent electrically conductive substrate, and forming a perovskite layer on the hole transport layer via a two-stage vacuum evaporation process. Then, an electron transport layer and an electrode layer are formed in order. The two-stage vacuum evaporation process includes first vacuum evaporating a first material on the hole transport layer and then vacuum evaporating a second material on the first material so as to react the first material with the second material in situ and form the perovskite layer.

  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CLIPPING IN AN AMPLIFIER
    Publication number: 20150214902
    Abstract: Limiting clipping in an amplifier is accomplished in the feedback loop of a class D PWM amplifier that includes an integrator coupled to an input node and configured to generate an integrated input signal such that a comparator may then generate a PWM signal for driving an amplifier output stage based on a comparison to a triangle wave signal. To this end, the amplifier also includes a threshold signal generator for generating high and low voltage thresholds based on the triangle wave signal to be used to engage compensation circuits for limiting the overall amplification. Such compensation circuits may be bipolar junction transistors that are disposed in the feedback loop of the integrator. Thus, the overall bandwidth of the amplifier itself is not affected by adding a limiter circuit aimed at reducing clipping.
