Neuron thin-film transistors (TFTs) with coplanar control gates based on RF sputtering-deposited amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide (IGZO) layer are fabricated. Two coplanar control gates, capacitively coupled with the floating gate, can effectively control the neutron TFT. The drain current of the TFT can be controlled by the logic states (and the voltage magnitude) of the control gates, which is...
Upgrading the existing electricity grids into smart grids relies heavily on the development of information and communication technology which supports a highly reliable real-time monitoring and control system as well as coordination of various electricity utilities and market participants. In this upgrading process, smart grid communication is the key to success, and a simple but complete, innovative...
In this work, we study the energy management system (EMS) in the customer domain of the Smart Grid. We discuss the desired features and design issues, highlight the characteristics and identify the challenges. To address the challenges, we propose the innovative framework of Pervasive Service-Oriented Networks (PERSON). The core idea is to utilize a heterogeneous network as the information infrastructure,...
The advent of 45 nm technology poses a real challenge to device physical characterization. The shrinkage in dimension makes the characterization of some critical structures very difficult or impossible. The adoption of ultra low K materials even worsens the situation. In this paper, an attempt is made to address some of the challenging characterization issues and some solutions are provided with the...
With the shrinkage of the transistor dimensions, the spacing between the structures become smaller and smaller. However due to the intrinsic characteristic of the CMOS device, the reduction of the operating voltage is limited. The electrical field between different structures keeps on increasing with the shrinkage of the transistor dimensions. Furthermore, many new failure modes were observed with...
