Investigation on Impact of Different Defects based on Different Trap Energy Level in the Framework of Two-Stage NBTI model

Hussin H., Soin N., Bukhori M.F., Universiti Teknologi MARA, MY

Charges in gate dielectric significantly degraded the p-MOSFET device performances particularly due to NBTI phenomenon. The validation of NBTI effects on device and circuit performance require accurate model to ensure reliable prediction during design phase. [...]

Effects of sub-threshold operation on 32 nm technology node PMOSFETs evaluated from the perspective of two-stage NBTI model

Hussin H., Soin N., Bukhori M.F., Universiti Teknologi MARA, MY

We investigate the subthreshold operation effects on NBTI reliability issues in the framework of two-stage NBTI model. This is to include the effect of oxide trap since most previous simulation-based study only focuses on interface [...]

Drain Current Model for Thin Body Undoped and Lightly Doped Double-Gate MOSFETs

Abd Elhamid H., Ineguez B., Ismail Y., Deen MJ., Zewail City of Science and Technology, EG

We developed new compact models that include the QM effects on electrical properties such as the surface potential, and drain current. The models were used to study the impact of subband engineering and holes/electrons IMREF [...]

Investigation of secondary electron emission of a monocrystal diamond for creation microchannel devices with high quantum efficiency

Sadovoy V., Terentiev S., Bormashov V., FSBI TISNCM, RU

In this work possibility of use of a monocrystal diamond(CVD and HPHT) as highly effective secondary emitter is shown.The maximum SE coefficient about 14 at working accelerating voltage is received (several times exceeds SE coefficient [...]

FIRMS: A Novel Technique for Magnetic Molecular Imaging

De Silva L., Hu Q., Wang Y., Xu S.-J., University of Houston, US

Molecular imaging usually employs a labeling technique, mainly optical labeling or magnetic labeling, to highlight target molecules. While optical labeling uses a wavelength parameter to achieve molecular specificity, there is no analogous parameter in magnetic [...]
