In this brief, we propose a dynamic surface control with actuator failure compensation for a class of feedback linearizable systems with locally Lipschitz nonlinearities. First, a dynamic surface state feedback control scheme is designed, which incorporates radial basis function networks in a novel approach, to compensate system uncertainties and dynamic changes induced by actuator failures. Then,...
Strain engineering has been in the heart of CMOS technology for over a decade. However, the effectiveness of conventional strain elements, such as stress liners, embedded S/D stressors, and stress memorization, is significantly reduced when device gate pitch is scaled below 100 nm as needed for 14nm node and beyond. Substrate strain engineering, where the channel itself is formed out of a strained...
Significant physical challenges remain for CMOS technology to increase Ion and decrease Ioff as transistor dimension and power supply voltages continue downscaling. For Ioff, a physical barrier exists as exhibited in the subthreshold slope SS = |(δVg)/(δlnId) | = ln10 ▪ kBT/q, which is limited to > 60 mV/dec at room temperature due to electron thermal distribution. To circumvent this fundamental...
