Effect of the channel shape on the nano-scale carrier transport is studied by using the ensemble Monte-Carlo - molecular dynamics method (EMC/MD). Carrier transport in hone-shaped asymmetric channels which widen from source to drain sides is simulated by comparing that in the conventional straight channels. The obtained conductance of the horn-shaped channels is larger than that of the straight channel,...
So far, Automatic Signature Verification (ASV) approaches using a threshold-based decision have depended on one feature set for distance measure and a threshold on this distance measure for verification. The best performance that can be reached in this case is the one obtained by using the best feature set (bfs). In this paper, we introduce a new decision making approach for ASV that uses Multi-Sets...
Pedestrian detection is a difficult task for the following reasons. Firstly, pedestrians have many variations of size, pose, clothing, and motion. Secondly, the background tends to be crowded. Thirdly, many pedestrian-like patterns are observed in real environments. As a result, even if state-of-the-art pattern recognition method is used, a frame-by-frame detection has many false positives and negatives...
The impact of PIDs on device yield was evaluated by detecting PIDs and performing a correlation analysis between the PID detection results and device yield of a probing test. It was consequently confirmed that PID can be detected sensitively with suitable wafer-surface inspection and SEM tools. It was also confirmed that PID correlates with device yield and that gate-dielectric defects are caused...
Transconductance (gm) enhancement in n-type and p-type nanowire field-effect-transistors (nwFETs) is demonstrated by introducing controlled tensile strain into channel regions by pattern dependant oxidation (PADOX). Values of gm are enhanced relative to control devices by a factor of 1.5 in p-nwFETs and 3.0 in n-nwFETs. Strain distributions calculated by a three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulation...
This paper presents a non-photorealistic shading approach to enhance 3D shape appearance given in 2D natural images that do not have depth information. The approach is based on estimating and controlling normals on areas having relatively gentle shapes. Experimental results show effective and natural enhancement of 3D shapes, or improvement in 3D appearance.
The structure and operation of a four-legged linear parametric motor include such excellent features as a very simple construction and negligible operating maintenance. We calculated the performance characteristics of such linear motors numerically, using a two-dimensional static field analysis program, and obtained the flux density distribution in the gap. We here show that the performance characteristics...
