Abstract

Ohmic contact is important for silicon carbide (SiC) devices such as Schottky diode, junction field effect transistor (JFET) and metal oxide transistor (MOSFET). The effect of post metallization annealing (PMA) on the ohmic characteristics of Ni/Ti/4H-SiC is investigated. The samples were annealed under different ambients of high vacuum, forming gas and N2 gas at 1050˚C for 3 minutes using rapid thermal process (RTP). Current-voltage (I-V) measurements taken for different distances of a transmission line model (TLM) structure have been utilized to extract the contact resistivity. The correlation between surface roughness and resistivity has been investigated. It was found that the involvement of nitrogen during the annealing process at 1050˚C was ineffective to reduce the contact resistivity. The resistivity is improved when the samples were annealed in forming gas (FG), (a mixture of H2+N2) environment, showing that the incorporation of H2 gas during the annealing process has produced a better result. On the other hand, high vacuum PMA was found to be effective to improve the ohmic characteristic with higher current level at lower voltage. Hence, the enhanced performance observed in high vacuum annealing samples is beneficial to get ohmic contact on Ni/Ti/4H-SiC for PMA process with a low thermal budget.

Abstract

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, significantly contributing to global warming gases when released into the atmosphere. Methane, a naturally occurring gas, has no harmful impacts on human life at low concentrations. As concentrations rise, symptoms like fatigue, headaches, nausea, irritability, and speech difficulties increase due to asphyxiation. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphene-doped ZnO gas sensors were fabricated using a screen-printing technique onto a Kapton film to compare their performance to methane gas at room temperature. A silver paste was used as the interdigitated electrode, deposited on the Kapton film using a screen-printing technique, and fired at 150 °C for 15 minutes. Next, ZnO and graphene-doped ZnO pastes were deposited onto the interdigitated electrode using a screen-printing technique and became the second layer of the gas sensor. The sensing layer was annealed at 200 °C for 60 minutes. All gas sensors responded well to methane gas at room temperature. As a comparison, the graphene-doped ZnO gas sensor responded better to 6,700 ppm of methane gas than the ZnO gas sensor at room temperature. The highest response of graphene-doped ZnO to methane gas was produced by 5 wt. % of graphene doped into ZnO with a response value of 11.5.

Abstract

The demand for processed frozen food has increased due to its rich flavors, long shelf life, and convenience. This trend was noticeable during the COVID-19 pandemic as it reduced the need for frequent grocery shopping and minimized virus exposure. However, processed frozen food is still prone to spoilage over time. This study aims to monitor the quality of processed frozen food, including beef, chicken, and fish, over 24 hours using three primary sensors known as MQ4, MQ136, and MQ137. These sensors detect the main gases produced during food spoilage, which are methane (CH4), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), and ammonia (NH3), respectively, and are integrated with the ESP32 microcontroller. Each sample was analyzed using 100 g of meat placed in a sealed container, with ambient temperature and humidity levels being monitored. The pattern of gas production can be viewed on ThingSpeak, and a notification is sent via Telegram when the threshold value is reached. This study is conveniently used to identify the typical conditions under which processed frozen food is most likely to be spoiled. The result shows that the MQ137 sensor is the most sensitive in detecting early spoilage stages, which indicates the ammonia gas in high temperature and humidity levels.
