HiSIM-SOI: SOI-MOSFET Model for Circuit Simulation Valid also for Device Optimization

Sadachika N., Kusu S., Ishimura K., Murakami T., Kajiwara T., Hayashi T., Nishikawa Y., Yoshida T., Miura-Mattausch M., Hiroshima University, JP

SOI-MOSFETs are considered to be suitable for high performance as well as low power applications and its developments are tend to go toward the thinner SOI films to enhance the device characteristics. Thus compact models [...]

Millimeter long vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes by an ultra long lifetime of catalysts

Iwasaki T., Zhong G., Yoshida T., Aikawa T., Morikane R., Kawarada H., Waseda University, JP

Controlling the growth direction of SWNTs on a substrate is one of the most important issues for fabrication of SWNT-based applications, such as field effect transistors (FETs) and interconnects for LSI. We have succeeded in [...]

Biomimetic Design of a Microfluidic Device for Auto-separation of Leukocytes from Whole Blood

Shevkoplyas S.S., Yoshida T., Munn L.L., Bitensky M.W., Boston University, US

Leukocytes comprise less than one percent of all blood cells. Enrichment of their number, starting from a sample of whole blood, is the required first step of many clinical and basic research assays. We created [...]

Surface Modification of Al203 Fiber with Nanoparticles Using a Dry Mechanical Coating Technique

Coowanitwong N., Wu C-Y, Nguyen J., Cai M., Ruthkosky M., Rogers J., Feng L., Watano S., Yoshida T., University of Florida, US

Nanoparticles are of great interest to many industries due to their unique properties. One of the well-known properties is high surface area, which is critically essential to enhancing performance activity [1] and greatly vital to [...]
