Abstract

Structures composed of a p^++^(Zn)GaAs layer deposited by MOVPE on a n(Te)โ€doped GaSb substrate were fabricated, with the purpose of obtaining GaSb pโ€n homoโ€junctions, through the diffusion of Zn into the substrate, for photovoltaic applications. Different Zn doping levels and postโ€growth annealing parameters were investigated. The junctions were characterized from the electrical point of view by Iโ€V measurements, while Zn diffusion profiles were studied by SIMS analysis. The effective achievement of a GaSb buried junction, whose profile is characterized by a limited Zn diffusion into the substrate, was evidenced. Efficiency measurements by a solar simulator on 5x5 mm^2^ samples were also performed in order to investigate the photovoltaic properties of the structure. (ยฉ 2011 WILEYโ€VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The aim of this experiment is to grow a thin silicon layer (<50ยตm) by Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) onto porous silicon. This one acts as a sacrificial layer in order to transfer the 50 ยตm epitaxial layer onto foreign substrates like ceramics. After transfer, the silicon wafer is then re-usable. In thi

## Abstract Hyaluronan (HA)โ€based biomaterials are of interest for bone and cartilage tissue engineering because HA plays an important role in orthopedic tissue development, function, and repair. The goal of this project was to develop a biomaterial that incorporated the constituents of both a hydr
