Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are emerging as promising contenders to replace existing Silicon and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) devices in the radio-frequency/microwave power amplifiers and high-power switching applications. Along with the fast [...]

Hot Carrier Effect and Oxide Reliability of T-FinFET Devices

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Hot-carrier effect and oxide reliability of CMOS T-FinFET with 2.1nm-thick gate-SiO2 were investigated. It was found that hot-carrier immunity improves as the T-FinFET fin width (body thickness) decreases, which facilitates gate-length scaling, while it is [...]

Nanodelivery of Chinese traditional medicine extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761) induces superior neuroprotection following traumatic brain injury in heat stroke

, , , , , , , , , , , ,
Military personnel are often exposed to high summer heat resulting in heat stroke (HS) and related illnesses. HS often results in serious mental and physical consequences due to breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to [...]
