PhD abstract

The comparison of electrical quantities expressed in units of the International System of Units (SI) and the same quantities generated from quantum effects is a direct way of determining physical constants. The determination of the von Klitzing constant (quantum of resistance) from a calculable capacitor is a part of this process. The last determination of this constant was conducted at LNE in 2000 with an uncertainty of 5×10-8. To achieve a target uncertainty of 1×10-8, the LNE decided to build a new standard capacitor and improve the associated measurement chain. The work presented here is implemented in the framework of the design/amelioration and the characterization of the measurement chain leading to the relative uncertainty of 1×10-8. Exploratory studies were also conducted about the possible partial or full automation of elements of the measurement chain.

Multi-Jonction Solar Cells (MJSCs) are leading the way of high efficiency photovoltaic devices, with conversion efficiency up to 46%. Their subcells are designed to absorb in a specific and complementary range of the solar spectrum, and are connected in series with tunnel junctions. The tandem architecture InGaP/GaAs - with bandgaps of 1.87 eV and 1.42 eV respectively - is mature and its efficiency could be enhanced by incorporating subcell(s) with bandgaps of 1 eV and/or 0.7 eV. The Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) growth of such low bandgap materials has thus to be developed, as well as low-resistive tunnel junctions with good structural and optical properties.

Based on the MBE growth and the simulation of GaAs tunnel junctions, we have identified interband tunneling as the predominant transport mechanism in such devices rather than trap-assisted-tunneling. The interband tunneling mechanism could be enhanced with the type II GaAsSb/InGaAs heterostructure. Using this material system, we have then demonstrated tunnel junctions with very low electrical resistivity with a limited degradation of the optical and structural properties inherently induced by the use of low band-gap and lattice-mismatched GaAsSb and InGaAs materials.

Moreover, we fabricated an innovative AlInGaAs/AlGaAsSb tunnel junction as a graded buffer architecture that could be used for the incorporation of a 1 eV metamorphic subcell. We then developed and characterized InGaAsN(Bi) materials with band-gaps of ~1eV, taking advantage of in-situ wafer curvature measurements during the MBE growth to control the lattice-mismatch.

Preliminary solar cells based on GaAs, 1 eV dilute nitride and metamorphic InGaAs have been fabricated and characterized validating the developed tunnel junction architectures. This work has enabled to demonstrate the potential of the type II GaAsSb/InGaAs heterostructure to meet the challenges posed by the conception and the fabrication of GaAsbased MJSCs, both for the tunnel junction and the 1 eV subcell.

PhD Abstract

The future International System of Units, based on fundamental constants, will allow to take full advantage of the quantum standards of resistance, current and voltage that are linked to the planck constant and the elementary charge only. In this thesis, we have developed and studied a resistance standard based on the quantum Hall effect in graphene obtained by chemical vapor deposition (propane/hydrogen) on silicon carbide substrate. For the first time we were able to show that a graphene resistance standard could operate at more practical experimental conditions than its counterpart in GaAs/AlGaAs, ie at higher temperatures (T = 10 K), weaker magnetics fields (B = 3,5 T) and larger measurement currents (I = 500 μA). From an understanding and improvement perspective, we have analyzed the fabrication process of the Hall bar and its reproducibility, tested a method to modify the electronic density, and investigated the quantum Hall effect dissipation mechanisms. In a second part, we have demonstrated that it was possible to realize a programmable and versatile quantum current source from the elementary charge, by combining the two quantum standards of voltage and resistance in a quantum circuit integrating a cryogenic current comparator. Currents were generated in the range from 1 μA to 5 mA, with a relative uncertainty never achieved before of 10⁻⁸. We have also showed that this current standard, realizing the new definition of the ampere, could be used to calibrate an ammeter.

Differential circuits are widely used in the design of high frequency components mainly because of their better noise immunity. These circuits can be characterized using mixed-mode S parameters (differential- and common-mode S-parameters and cross-mode terms). Furthermore, the trend toward miniaturization and integration of microwave devices increases the need for planar or coplanar microwave integrated circuits such as micro-strip lines or coplanar waveguides. The ungrounded coplanar waveguide structure with all the conductors located on the same side of the substrate eliminates the need for via-holes, and thus simplifies manufacturing and prevents the appearance of some parasitic elements. From the viewpoint of electrical metrology, it is necessary to establish the traceability of the mixed-mode S-parameter measurements to the International System of Units (SI). The Multimode Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) calibration method, derived from the commonly-used TRL calibration for S-parameter measurements of single-ended circuits, is particularly well suited for this purpose as the standards are traceable via dimensional measurements. The characteristic impedance, which defines the reference impedance of the measurement system, can be achieved from the propagation constants determined during the Multimode TRL calibration and the capacitances per unit length of the transmission line.

We present the first design and realization of Multimode TRL calibration and verification kits using coupled coplanar lines in the “Ground - Signal - Ground - Signal – Ground” configuration on quartz (SiO2), the low-loss substrate, for on-wafer mixed-mode S-parameter measurements from 1 GHz to 40 GHz.

Measurements are performed using two methods: the “one-tier” technique, based on the Multimode TRL calibration procedure, determines and corrects all systematic errors. The “two-tier” approach, in which the Multimode TRL is applied at the second-tier, is applied to measurement data that were partially corrected by the first calibration. The feasibility and the validation of the methods are demonstrated by measurements of matched, mismatched and unbalanced lines and T-attenuators showing good agreement between simulated and measured results.

The propagation of uncertainty can be derived by the calculation of partial derivatives using the Metas.Unclib tool or by the numerical approach based on the Monte Carlo technique. The accuracy of on-wafer S-parameter measurements depends on sources of influence attributed to the measurements and to the imperfections of the standards such as the VNA noise and non-linearity, the cable stability, the measurement repeatability, and the sensitivity in calibration standards’ realization. We focus, first and foremost, on the propagation of uncertainties related to the repeatability of the standards and the device under test measurements to the corrected mixed-mode S-parameters of the mismatched line. The results show that the partial derivatives approach based on an approximation of the first-order Taylor series cannot be accurately used due to the significant influences of non-linear functions in the Multimode TRL algorithm. The Monte Carlo method is then more precise although it requires very long computation time.

Measuring high alternating currents over a wide frequency bandwidth is essential for many applications including the monitoring of the electrical distribution network and the development of electric vehicles. In the first case, current measurement is necessary to quantify the quality of the grid in the presence of harmonics from intermittent renewable energies with a large frequency spectrum (several hundred kilohertz). In the second case, current measurement (up to several tens of amperes) is used to quantify the efficiency of an electric motor's traction chain: in current measurement, it is essential to take into account a large number of harmonics (up to 1 MHz) to ensure an accurate knowledge of the motor's efficiency. Resistors of low values, called “shunt”, are then mandatory to measure high currents. Shunts are widely used as a resistance standard in metrology laboratories and precision instruments. Their use requires the preliminary knowledge of the following two parameters according to the frequency: Impedance phase shift; relative variation of the impedance magnitude according to its DC resistance value, this parameter is called “AC-DC difference”. For a current level of 10 A, the impedance of existing shunts shows strong variations in magnitude and phase for frequencies above 100 kHz. In addition, in National Metrology Institutes, to calibrate shunts beyond 1 A the measurement methods currently used are limited in magnitude up to 100 kHz and phase up to 200 kHz; and provide access to only one of the two parameters: magnitude or phase of impedance. The aim of this thesis is to extend the calibration capabilities of high current sensors up to 10 A and 1 MHz and thus improve the traceability of AC current measurements. Firstly, we developed a 10 A shunt standard whose electromagnetic (up to 10 MHz) and thermal responses are fully calculable: at 1 MHz the phase shift and transposition deviation are -0.01 mrad and 15 ppm respectively. Secondly, we developed a traceable calibration method to measure shunts up to 10 MHz. The measurement method, based on the use of a vector network analyzer, allows the AC-DC deviation and impedance phase of a shunt to be measured simultaneously with relative uncertainties less than 1×10⁻³ at 1 MHz.

PhD abstract

As the worldwide concern for the climate change and its effects are growing, the governments are forced to make strong decisions in favour of the implementation of the smart electrical grids. However, the success of these actions strongly depends on meeting the certain requirements of the electricity system raised by the quality of the energy supplied and the means to assess it. The smart electrical networks have to tackle the challenges raised by the increasing uptake of the renewable energy sources, such as the photovoltaic (PV), wind, etc. and the equipment, such as photovoltaic inverters (PVI), electric vehicle chargers (EVC), etc. This introduces a complex dynamic operating environment for the distribution system. The distortions coming from the new generation and load equipment are generally larger and less regular than those due to the traditional generation and load equipment, making the power and energy measurements difficult to perform. In this context, the thesis aims to quantify and reproduce the supraharmonic emissions in the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz. Therefore, the existing literature on the supraharmonic emissions in the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz is studied. The 4-channel measurement system is designed and implemented for the measurement of the fundamental and supraharmonic components of the voltage and current waveforms in the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz in the electrical network. The measurements are carried out in the EDF’s Concept Grid platform. The individual equipment characterization and electrical network tests are carried out here. The waveforms acquired during the measurement campaigns are processed mathematically using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm and statistically using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) algorithm. The mathematical and statistical processing of the acquired waveforms helps to determine the individual effects and interactions of the different parameters in the generation of the supraharmonic emissions in the electrical network. The various parameters, such as the primary and secondary emissions, effects of the cable length, effects of the sudden addition and removal of the load equipment are also studied. The thesis describes the design of the complex waveform platform, which can be used for the laboratory testing and the characterization of the power quality analyzers (PQA) in the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz. In the electrical networks, the waveform platform can be used to measure the supraharmonic emissions in the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz. The software architecture of the waveform platform is described here. In addition, the paper explains the hardware design of the waveform platform. It also includes the laboratory and electrical network applications of the waveform platform. The laboratory setup for the characterization of the PQA and the measurement schema for the electrical network waveforms are also depicted here. The uncertainty budget for the waveform platform is calculated considering the various factors, such as the cable length, noise, etc. are discussed in the thesis. Finally, the PQA is characterized in the frequency range of 2 to 150 kHz with respect to the waveform platform for varying emission amplitudes.
