Le sulfure de zinc est l'un des premiers semiconducteurs découverts. Il a un grand potentiel d’applications grâces à ses propriétés physicochimiques. Il est intensément utilisé dans des applications optoélectroniques, photocatalytiques et pour la détection de gaz. En particulier, il est utilisé pour des applications photovoltaïques. Dans ce contexte, nous avons commencé par l’étude de l’effet du dopage par des métaux de transition (manganèse, cobalt et cuivre) sur les propriétés structurales, microstructurales, morphologiques, optiques, électriques et magnétiques des couches minces de sulfure de zinc préparées par la technique de dépôt chimique en solution (chemical bath deposition (CBD)) par diffraction aux rayons X, spectroscopie photoélectronique X, spectroscopie Raman, spectroscopie infrarouge, microscopie électronique à balayage, spectrophotométrie UV-Vis-NIR, effet Hall et SQUID. En second lieu nous avons étudié l’effet de la variation de l’épaisseur des couches formant la cellule photovoltaïque à base de Cu(In,Ga)Se2 par la simulation numérique à deux dimensions sous éclairement AM1.5 de puissance 100 mW/cm2 effectué sous Silvaco ATLAS / Zinc sulfide is one of the first semiconductors discovered. It has great potential application thanks to its physicochemical properties. It is used extensively in optoelectronic, photocatalytic and gas detection applications. In particular, it is used for photovoltaic applications. In this work, the effect of doping by transition metals (manganese, cobalt and copper) on the structural, microstructural, morphological, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of zinc sulfide thin films prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique are studied by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometry, Hall effect and SQUID. The modeling and optimization of higher efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells are also investigated in this thesis for various layers thickness by using Silvaco ATLAS

abstract: The thesis focuses on cost-efficient integration of the electro-chemical residue sensor (ECRS), a novel sensor developed for the in situ and real-time measurement of the residual impurities left on the wafer surface and in the fine structures of patterned wafers during typical rinse processes, and wireless transponder circuitry that is based on RFID technology. The proposed technology uses only the NMOS FD-SOI transistors with amorphous silicon as active material with silicon nitride as a gate dielectric. The proposed transistor was simulated under the SILVACO ATLAS Simulation Framework. A parametric study was performed to study the impact of different gate lengths (6 μm to 56 μm), electron motilities (0.1 cm2/Vs to 1 cm2/Vs), gate dielectric (SiO2 and SiNx) and active materials (a-Si and poly-Si) specifications. Level-1 models, that are accurate enough to acquire insight into the circuit behavior and perform preliminary design, were successfully constructed by analyzing drain current and gate to node capacitance characteristics against drain to source and gate to source voltages. Using the model corresponding to SiNx as gate dielectric, a-Si:H as active material with electron mobility equal to 0.4 cm2/V-sec, an operational amplifier was designed and was tested in unity gain configuration at modest load-frequency specifications. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.
