Etch rate and homogeneity and anisotropic characteristics are the predominant factors in determining the resulting micro system device properties. Temperature and concentration of the KOH solution as well as the doping concentration of the silicon material have the largest impact on these properties and have to be thoroughly controlled. 

In order to create a semiartificial device for hydrogen production, several components have to be optimized. Here we report about the construction of His-tagged PS1 and PS2 which should speed up and facilitate isolation of these reaction centers and also enable an oriented immobilization on the electrode surfaces of the device. Properties of isolated His-tagged PS1 and PS2 are compared with their WT counterparts in detail in order to find out whether there is an influence of the His-tag on purity, activity and heterogeneity.

The other main areas of development required to overcome present limitations are in the improvement of efficiency and reliability. At the basic research level, this implies a better understanding of the relation between the deposition processes, the electronic material properties and the resulting device properties and the improvement in the quality of all individual layers building up the module. 

We recently published a chapter in the book Silicon Carbide Recent Major Advances by Choyke et al. [19] that describes SiC gas sensor applications in detail. In this book, we emphasize device properties applications are only briefly reviewed at the end. The device and gas sensing properties of various field-effect chemical gas sensing devices based on SiC are described, and other wide bandgap material devices are reviewed. The detection principle and gas response is explained, and the buried channel SiC-FET device is described in detail. Some special phenomena related to the high-temperature influence of hydrogen at high temperature are also reported. 

From the practical point of view, reuse of the deposition solution after filtering out the precipitated CdS and addition of fresh reagent was shown to have no effect on the device properties of CdS/ClGS cells (see Sec. 4.1.6.10 for more details of the deposition) [11]. 

The promise of photoelectrochemical devices of both the photovoltaic and chemical producing variety has been discussed and reviewed extensively.Cl,, 3,4) The criteria that these cells must meet with respect to stability, band gap and flatband potential have been modeled effectively and in a systematic fashion. However, it is becomirg clear that though such models accurately describe the general features of the device, as in the case of solid state Schottky barrier solar cells, the detailed nature of the interfacial properties can play an overriding role in determining the device properties. Some of these interface properties and processes and their potential deleterious or beneficial effects on electrode performance will be discussed. 

From Eq. (8.8) it is evident that particle momentum depending on mass and velocity of the particles is important to control the delivery. The particle acceleration and impact velocity are defined by particle properties such as size, density, and morphology and device properties such as pressure of the compressed gas source, nozzle geometry, and others. 

Significantly, the implanted biomaterial provokes a spectrum of macrophage differentiation and activation profiles locally at the site, depending on this broad cell type heterogeneity, tissue site physiology, and device properties. It is also likely that local activation and acute wound healing at the implant site provide chemotactic cues that recruit other monocytes and immature MPS cells to the implant site. 

If bias stress occurs on time-scales typical of device characterization ( 0.1 s to a few tens of seconds), it causes the I-V curves to display hysteresis and nonideal shapes [7]. As a result, device properties often used to characterize the semi-... 

In spite of the described findings it is generally believed that - at least on module level - reproducibility and production-yield profit from inclusion of i-ZnO. It is obvious that the influence of localized flaws in the absorber film, such as pin-holes, is more severe if those are directly in contact with the highly doped contact layer [14]. Similarly, if the device properties are slightly inhomogeneous on a microscopic scale, the i-ZnO may be beneficial in terms of performance. Such inhomogeneities could be caused, e.g., by lateral bandgap fluctuations in the absorber film. In this case, the optimum resistivity of the i-ZnO will depend on the amount of fluctuations present [15]. 

The previous section gave an overview of the transport and junction properties of conjugated materials regarding their importance for photovoltaic devices. In this chapter, the bulk heterojunction device itself will be in the spotlight. Device properties will be discussed and evaluated as for classical inorganic solar cells, concentrating on the short-circuit current /sc, the open-circuit voltage Foc, the fill factor FF, and the spectral sensitivity.

There are several detection methods in the near-millimeter band in common use. We will limit attention to rectification and bolometric detection, because they are the most common methods for near-millimeter spectrometers built to date. Both methods rely on the intrinsic device properties to convert the signal information to a frequency range that can be conveniently processed. 

As it is highly advantageous in terms of electronic device properties to restrict the chemistry to dopant and silicon molecules, the atomic species were kept unchanged, but the simulation model was used to change the bond structure at the silicon surface. It was shown that manipulating the structure of the silicon surface enables precise nanometer-scale control of the junction depth due to a... 

Electrochromism is in principle a device property, although the optical function can sometimes be caused by a single layer. The basic design of an electrochromic device, presented in Fig. 3.24, consists of several layers. The substrate (mostly glass) is covered by a transparent, conducting film in contact with a film of the electrochromic substance. These films are followed by a layer of a fast ion conductor (electrolyte), an ion storage film, and another transparent conductor. The electrochromic and ion storage layers are conductors for ions and electrons while, the ion conductor has zero conductance for electrons.
