A Model for Enhanced Chemiluminescence Reactions in Microsystems

Berthier J., Joly P., Rivera F., Caillat P., CEA-LETI, FR

Detection of hybridized targets—like DNA strands—in microsystems for biotechnology is usually done by fluorescence. However, recent investigations have shown that chemiluminescence could be a more effective and sensitive tool for detection under the condition that [...]

A Systems Design Framework Based in Matlab That Integrates Sugar, Spice, Simulink, Fea Comsol, and GDS-II Layout

Marepalli P., Clark J.V., Purdue University, US

We present a systems design framework called iSUGAR that integrates SUGAR, SPICE, SIMULINK, FEA COMSOL, and GDS-II layout. SUGAR is known for its ease and speed of complex MEMS configuration and parameterization; SPICE is known [...]

A drift-diffusion analytical model with bounded boundary conditions for CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) in a vertical pinned photodiode (PPD) is presented in this paper. According to the comparison with the numerical simulation and measured data, [...]

The role of Electromechanical coupling in AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMTs

Padmanabhan B., Vasileska D., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

we present simulation results for GaN HEMTs in which the structure has additional AlN spacer layer thus completely modifying the electromechanical coupling approach.

High-Fidelity Modeling of Single Molecule Quantum Electronic Devices

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

Departing from two-terminal molecular electronic devices, this paper examines multi-terminal MEdevices. These devices are envisioned to be utilized in emerging molecular gates (Mgates) and neuronal hypercells for expected molecular integrated circuits. High-fidelity modeling and heterogeneous [...]

An Efficient Iterative Grid Selection Strategy for Time-Mapped Harmonic Balance Method

In this paper, the band-structure of ultra-thin body (UTB) double-gate (DG) MOSFETs is calculated by empirical tight-binding model, and the the nonparabolicity effects are included in the model by the modified Schrödinger equation with the [...]

Simplifying the Designing of a MEMS-based Nanoscale Material Testing Device

Bansal R., Clark J.V., Purdue University, US

Microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) are increasingly used for accurate mechanical characterization of nanostructures. However, the performance of such systems highly depends on their structural design. Optimizing the performance of the device using distributed analysis is computationally expensive, [...]
