A New Method to Fin-width Line Edge Roughness Effect Simulation of FinFET Performance

Zhu Y., Zhao W., Wang W., Wu W., Feng Z., He J., He P., He J., He P., Song L., Peking University Shenzhen SOC Key Laboratory, CN

This paper developed a full three-dimensional (3-D) statistical simulation method to investigate Fin-width Line Edge Roughness (LER) effect on the FinFETs performance. The line edge roughness is introduced by Matlab program, and then the intrinsic [...]

Compact Modeling of Parameter Variations of Nanoscale CMOS due to Random Dopant Fluctuation

Ye Y., Zhu Y., He H., He J., Mei J., Cao Y., He H., He J., PKU-HKUST Shenzhen-Hongkong Institution, CN

In nanoscale CMOS design, the compact modeling of random dopant fluctuation (RDF), which is the major variability source, is crucial important to bridge the variation aware design to the underlying physics. In this paper the [...]

Electropulsing induced nanophase decomposition and structural characteristics of film of alloy ZA27

Zhu Y., To S., Lee W.B., Hong Kong Polytechnic University, CN

Nanophases appear very stable and hardly decompose completely under conventional thermal aging, because of their strong preferred crystal orienttation. As one of the advanced processes, electropulsing has been recognized for its efficiency in reducing residual [...]

Carbon nanotube/fused silica composite with gradient structure and carbon fiber/ fused silica back reflection layers for microwave absorbing application

Zhu Y., Pan Y.B., Guo J.K., Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Many investigations have been made to the carbon nanotube (CNT)/pure silica (SiO2) composites for their attractive properties. Our primary work demonstrates the decrease of reflection at interface and the improvement of microwave absorbing efficiency in [...]

Thermal modeling of a PMMA microfluidic separation chip

Zhu Y., Bui A., CSIRO Australia, AU

The main objective of the current work is to investigate the thermal performance, in particular Joule heating of polymer microfluidic chips involving electrokinetically driven flows using experimental and numerical methods. Most of the work focused [...]

ZnO Nanoparticles Beaded Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Zhu Y., Elim H.I., Foo Y.L., Triparthy S., Quek W.T., Ji W., Thong J., Sow C.H., National University of Singapore, SG

In this work, we report a hybrid system of ZnO nanoparticles on MWNT scaffolds synthesized via a very simple and straightforward process. This involved the coating of pure Zn on as-grown aligned MWNT films, followed [...]

3-D Computational Modeling of RF MEMS Switches

Espinosa H.D., Fischer M., Zhu Y., Lee S., Northwestern University, US

Young's modulus and residual stress state of freestanding thin membranes are characterized in this work by means of wafer level experimental techniques. RF MEMS Switches manufactured by Raytheon Systems Co. are investigated using a new [...]
