Modeling of Short-Channel Effect for Ultra-Thin SOI MOSFET on Ultra-Thin BOX

Fukunaga Y., Kikuchihara K., Mattausch H.J., Miura-Mattausch M., Miyamoto H., Zenitani H., Hiroshima University, JP

The SOTB-MOSFET (ultra-thin film SOI layer on ultra-thin BOX) is a candidate for the next MOSFET generations with advanced technology due to its suppression of the short-channel effect. Besides, the thin box layer can well [...]

beta-casein micelles and nanocapsules in drug delivery

Bachar M., Danino D., Khalfin R.L., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL

β-casein, the main protein found in milk, is an amphiphilic molecule that forms micelles both above and below the pI. In the presented work we investigated the possible use of β-casein micelles as a vehicle [...]

Optimal Design and Use of PV Water Pumping Systems in Armenia

Ayvazyan G., Buniatyan V., Vardanyan A., State Engineering University of Armenia, AM

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems find a large market in the developing countries in Asia, Middle East and Africa. Most of these areas are characterized by solar energy availability over a large part of the year. [...]

The Casimir Force and quantum interaction between conducting macro-bodies at nanoscale distances

Bryksin V., Petrov M., Petrov V., Petter J., Tschudi T., Darmstadt Technical University, DE

We report for the first time on the optical detection of a periodical mechanical interaction between conducting macro-bodies induced by the periodical Casimir force. The influence of conductivity on the Casimir force has been analysed. [...]

Investigation of Substrate Current Effects and Modeling of Substrate Resistance Network for RFCMOS

Anna R.B., Lee J.C., Newton K.M., Pan L.H., Sweeney S.L., IBM Corporation, US

RF device models focus on device performance in the high frequency region, with a reasonable DC model. The substrate current (Isub) is often regarded as unimportant in the DC model and thus ignored because the [...]
