In order to investigate the surface charge field on periodic metal arrays

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Polysilicon Thin Film Transistors with Single-, Double-, and Surrounding-Gate Structures

Li Y., Lee B-S, National Chiao Tung University, TW

Thin-film-transistors (TFTs) with high mobility and low leakage current are desirable in many applications especially in liquid crystal display (LCD).We have computationally analyzed electrical properties of thin film transistors using three-dimensional (3D) simulation. It is [...]

Novel FD SOI Devices Structure for Low Standby Power Applications

Ma M-W, Chao T-S., Kao K-S, Huang J-S, Lei T-F, National Chiao Tung University, TW

In this paper, fully depleted (FD) SOI devices with S/D extension shift and high-k offset spacer were investigated in detail. The results show that the S/D extension shift can decrease Ioff significantly to reduce standby [...]

Effect of Fin Angle on Electrical Characteristics of Nanoscale Bulk FinFETs

Li Y., Chen W-H, National Chiao Tung University, TW

Bulk-finFET (fin-shaped field effect transistor) has been viewed as a good candidate for nanoscale VLSI device fabrication and nanoelectronic circuit design [1-5]. The structure features an excellent device characteristics compared with conventional planer structures. In [...]

Transmission Spectrum of PDMS in 4-7µm Mid-IR Range for Characterization of Protein Structure

Chen K-C, Chen Y.F., Wo A.M., Chen K-C, Chen Y.F., National Taiwan University, TW

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been an important tool to characterize secondary structure of proteins for decades. To extend PDMS-based micro-device into spectroscopic characterization of proteins for structural study, the transmission spectrum of PDMS over the [...]

DNA Extraction with Parallel Electrodes on Microfluidic System

Parng S.H., Shia T.K., Yang H.J., Kuo C.H., Microsystem Technology Common Laboratory, TW

High-Throughput Screening Devices Based on Hydrophobic Microfluidics

Chen J.J., Yang H.J., Wu J.W., Parng S.H., Yu T.M., Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

In this work, we developed a microfluidic assay for determination of the individual cell’s response to chemical exposure. Microfluidic chips comprisd four channels were fabricated on polystyrene (PS) substrates via mechanical milling processes, and covered [...]

Macromodeling for Microfluidic Channels

Kuo C-W, Chein C-M, Yang Y-J, National Taiwan University, TW

In this paper, we present a methodology of generating microfluidic macromodels (reduced-order models) for 3-D non-linear microchannels. Compared with the full-meshed simulations, the generated macromodels not only provide accuracy results, but also give three-orders-of-magnitude speed-ups. [...]
