Introduction to PSP MOSFET Model

Gildenblat G., Li X., Wang H., Wu W., van Langevelde R., Scholten A.J., Smit G.D.J., Klaassen D.B.M., Pennsylvania State University, US

PSP is the latest and the most advanced compact MOSFET model developed by merging the best features of the two surface potential-based models: SP (devel- oped at The Pennsylvania State University) and MM11 (developed by [...]

Comparison of Surface Potential and Charge-based MOSFET Core Models

Galup-Montoro C., Schneider M., Pahim V.C., Rios R., Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, BR

Since the next generation MOSFET model will be based on either surface potential or inversion charge, a comparison between the two approaches is timely. In this paper, we will analyze in some detail the fundamentals [...]

Advanced Compact Models for MOSFETs

Watts J., McAndrew C., Enz C., Galup-Montoro C., Gildenblat G., Hu C., van Langevelde R., Miura-Mattausch M., Rios R., Sah C-T, Joint Paper, US

The combination of decreasing MOSFET dimensions and increasing use of MOSFETs for analog and RF application has created the need for advanced compact models for MOSFET circuit design. The first generation of MOSFET models rely [...]

A History of MOS Transistor Compact Modeling

Sah C-T, University of Florida, US

The MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Silicon Field-Effect- Transistor) or MOS Transistor (MOST) is a three dimensional electronic device. It operates on the conductivity modulation principle in a thin semiconductor layer by a controlling electric field to give amplifying [...]

Nano Scale Autonomous Error-Tolerant (AET) Cellular Network

Liu J., Weerasekera R., Zheng L-R, Tenhunen H., Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), SE

we propose a bottom-up approach using nano-CMOS hybrid Autonomous Error-Tolerant (AET) cellular network architecture. In our approach, each hexagonal AET cell consists of a nano-core dedicated for local computing, CMOS cell peripherals responsible for cell [...]

Fault Tolerant Quantum Computation with new Reversible Gate

Vasudevan D.P., Lala P.K., Parkerson J.P., University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, US

Current CMOS technology will be promising only for the next two decades or less until it reaches its physical limit. Once the atomic level of system design comes to the road of technology, Quantum mechanics [...]

Motion of a Cylinder Partially Filled With a Nano-Ferro-Fluid Suspension in a Magnetic Field

Avula X.J., Washington University in St. Louis, US

This study describes the motion of a partially full cylinder containing a nano-ferrofluid suspension when subjected to magnetic and nonmagnetic forces. The cylinder is allowed to roll from a state of rest without slipping on [...]

Size Related Contribution to Electron Energy of the Quantum Ring

Filikhin I., Deyneka E., Melikian H.M., Vlahovic B., North Carolina Central University, US

The semiconductor quantum ring (QR) is studied under energy dependent effective mass approximation. The 3D ground state (confined) energy problem is solved numerically by the finite element method in a single subband approach. We obtained [...]

Development of a 3-D Finite-element Solver for Piezoelectric Transformer Analysis

Chen Y-M, Lee C-K, Yang Y-J, National Taiwan University, TW

Piezoelectric transformers step up or step down input voltages by electrical/mechanical/electrical conversion. Piezoelectric transformers have been proved to be promising alternatives for magnetic transformers. Furthermore, since the fabrication technology of thin-film piezoelectric materials becomes mature, [...]

A Principle of Regulating the Collective Effect of Assembling Patterns in a Moderate Number of Equivalent Finite Regular Arrays of Active Nanoelements due to Local Transferring Information by Pairs Hopping under Synchronous Excitation

Kozlowski W., Inst. Biocybernetics & Biomed.Eng. PAS, PL

One reports computational study that reveals a set of general requirements fulfilling of which would afford the opportunity for using changes in ambient conditions to regulate accomplishing the collective outcome (collective effect CE) of evolution [...]
