Ma X., He J., He X., Li C., He J., He X., Jun P., Hu G., Ren Y., Wang X., SoC Key Laboratory, Peking University Shenzhen Institute and PKU-HKUST Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institution, CN

A numerical method to simulate THz wave generation and detection of the graphene base field effect transistor (GFET) is developed in this paper. It is derived directly from the hydrodynamic equations and implemented in Matlab [...]

Instability and Dynamics of EHD Flow with Unipolar and Bipolar Charge Injection in an Annulus

Fernandes D.V., Suh Y.K., Dong-A University, KR

Instability of steady-state conduction of a fluid in an annulus between two concentric circular cylinders subjected to charge injection either from the inner or outer and from both cylinder electrodes is considered. The results given [...]

A Simulation-Based Hybrid Optimization Technique for Low Noise Amplifier Integrated Circuit Design Automation

Li Y., Yu S-M., National Chaio Tung University, TW

In this paper we propose an intelligent simulation-based optimization technique for designing low noise amplifier (LNA) integrated circuits (ICs). Based on a genetic algorithm (GA), the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) method, and a circuit simulator, the hybrid [...]

Numerical Simulation of Superconformal Electrodeposition Using the Level Set Method

Wheeler D., Josell D., Moffat T.P., NIST, US

Damascene copper is rapidly replacing aluminum as the interconnect material of choice in silicon technology. The change is driven by the lower electrical resistivity of copper, which decreases power consumption and permits increased central processor [...]

Numerical and Analytical Studies of AC Electric Field in Dielectrophoretic Electrode Arrays

Feng J.J., Krishnamoorthy S., Chen Z.J., Makhijani V.B., CFD Research Corporation, US

Manipulation of micro-sized particles and biological cells using dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an emerging technique in MEMS and nano technology[3]. This paper presents an exact solution of dielectrophoretic motion of a polarized particle in the vicinity [...]
