3-state Quantum Dot Gate FETs in Designing High Sampling Rate ADCs

Karmakar S., Chandy J.A., Jain F.C., University of Connecticut, US

In this work we present Cadence simulation of 3-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) based on compact 3-QDFET comparators, using 32nm design rules with BSIM 3.2.0 and BSIM 3.2.4 models [3]. In addition, we present the precise [...]

Control of Conducting Path in Resistive Memory Utilizing Ferritin Protein with Metal Nano Dot

Uenuma M., Zheng B., Kawano K., Horita M., Yoshii S., Yamashita I., Uraoka Y., Nara Institute of Science and Technology, JP

Bio-nano-process (BNP) has been proposed as promising bottom-up process. Recently, there is large interest in application of BNP to memory devices such as resistive random access memory (ReRAM). According to the proposed resistive switching mechanisms, [...]

Backside Nanoscale Texturing to Improve IR Response of Silicon Photodetectors

Forbes L., Louie M.Y., Oregon State University, US

When the silicon is not strongly absorbing in the near infrared a back side textured surface works in conjunction with a totally internally reflecting front side surface to best increase the absorption of near infrared [...]

Application of YAG Laser Micro-Welding in MEMS Packaging

Bozorgi P., university of california, santa barbara, US

This paper reports a new packaging method for a wide range of MEMS for application on both the wafer and device scale. We show a complete set of experimental and modeling results for the application [...]

Adhesion of moulding compounds. Can material pre-selection increase the reliability of electronic components?

Pufall R., Michel B., Kaulfersch E., Infineon Technology AG, DE

It is well known that high temperature storage can degrade moulding compounds for chip encapsulation to such an extent that the adhesions to surfaces like copper (lead frames) or polyimide (chip coating) decreases drastically causing [...]

Control of the morphology of nanoparticles resulting from the dynamic optimization of a fed-batch emulsion copolymerization process

Benyahia B., Latifi A., Fonteix C., Pla F., University of Nancy, FR

This paper deals with the design and the control of the morphology of core-shell nanoparticles elaborated by emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butyl-acrylate in the presence of n-dodecyl mercaptan, as a chain transfer agent (CTA). [...]

Nanoemulsion Formation and characterization of Neutraceutical Components with the Sonication and Self-Assembly Methods

Choi A.J., Park C.B., Park C.G., Park C.B., Park C.G., Han S.H., Rural Development Administration, KR

In this research, we investigated the optimum condition for the preparation of O/W nanoemulsion containing surfactants, neutraceutical ingredients extracted from Angelica gigas Nakai and oil phase in ternary phase diagrams of systems, and characterized the [...]

Magnetoliposomes: Stability of Magnetic Nanoparticles in Suspension for drug delivery

Sen T., Sheppard S.J., Mercer T., Elhissi A., University of Central Lancashire, UK

A simple and rapid one pot method of synthesis of magneto-liposome has been reported. The nanoparticles exhibited exceptional stability in suspension. Magnetoliposomes were efficient for DNA binding/elution and drug loading.

Green Chemistry Derived Nanocomposite of Silver-modified Titania used for Disinfectant

Liu J., Ramirez I., Bashir S., Mernaugh R., Texas A&M University-Kingsville, US

A significant accomplishment of this study centers on developing nanocomposite (NC) materials via green synthesis (GS) techniques for inactivation of prokaryotes like Escherichia coli. The motivations are to: (1) implement fundamental research in nanochemistry for [...]

Amphiphilic Polymeric Core-Shell Particles: Novel Synthetic Strategy and Potential Applications of the Particles

Li P., The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, CN

We have developed a novel and commericial viable route to a wide range of highly uniform, amphiphilic core-shell particles in nano- to micro-scaled sizes. Novel feature of this synthetic approach is that it combines graft [...]
