Computing Metallofullerenes as Agents of Nanoscience: Gibbs Energy Treatment of Ca@C72, Ca@C82, and La@C82

Slanina Z., Kobayashi K., Nagase S., Institute for Molecular Science, JP

Various endohedral cage compounds have been suggested as possible candidate species for molecular memories. One approach is built on endohedral species with two possible location sites of the encapsulated atom while another concept of quantum [...]

Scanning Probe Lithography on InAs Substrate

Houlet L.F., Yamaguchi H., Hirayama Y., NTT Basic Research Laboratories, NTT Corporation, JP

In this study, we focus our interest on patterning a conventional electron beam resist by electron field emission exposure using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). We have fabricated 50-140 nm deep structures in InAs with the [...]

REMD toolkit : A Composable Software to Generate Parallelized Simulation Programs

Ito M., Nagashima U., AIST, JP

We developed a toolkit to generate a replica exchange method program which is suitable to solve the multiple-minima problem that prevents the accurate estimation of thermodynamical quantities. The toolkit was designed as a set of [...]

Improved Compact Model for Four-Terminal DG MOSFETs

Nakagawa T., Sekigawa T., Tsutsumi T., Hioki M., Suzuki E., Koike H., National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, JP

Double-gate field-effect transistors are promising device structures which have excellent scalability. To evaluate merits of DG MODFETs, we developed a compact four-terminal DG MOSFET model by adopting the double charge-sheet model. In this presentation, we [...]

Iino Y., Silvaco Japan, JP

This paper reports HiSIM-1.2 Spice model parameter extraction for a practical 90 nm technology devices. The extraction sequence with the measurement data will be exhibitted. The number of optimized HiSIM parameters were only 19 out [...]

Noise Modeling with HiSIM Based on Self-Consistent Surface-Potential Description

Miura-Mattausch M., Hosokawa S., Navarro D., Matsumoto S., Ueno H., Mattausch H.J., Miura-Mattausch M., Ohguro T., Iizuka T., Taguchi M., Kage T., Miyamoto S., Hiroshima University, JP

Accurate prediction of noise characteristics is a prerequisite for RF-circuit simulation. We demonstrate here that the 1/f noise is modeled only with the trap density as a model parameter and the thermal drain noise is [...]
