This paper proposes the use of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to work with an Enhanced-ICP to effectively filter out outliers and avoid false matching points during the map building of an unknown environment, where PSO is used to solve the local optima problem to obtain better transformation results for two data sets with excessive difference in initial position and direction. Then, we use part...
Asian barrier options are barrier options whose trigger is based on an average underlying price. They provide the advantages of both Asian options and barrier options. This paper introduces the first quadratic-time lattice algorithm to price European-style Asian barrier options. It is by far the most efficient lattice algorithm with convergence guarantees. The algorithm relies on the Lagrange multipliers...
In automotive vehicles, the amount of electronic control units (ECUs) has been introduced on the safety-critical, powertrain, and suspension of chassis. ECUs need a safer and higher data-rate transmission protocol to deliver commands, statuses, and information. FlexRay is the one of alterative and provides a very high speed communication and fault-tolerant communication. The communication controller...
A terahertz endoscope utilizing a single plastic hollow-tube with low bending loss is demonstrated to identify molecular concentration and map out object surface-altitudes. The measurements are well consistent with the calculated results.
We present a non-traditional CMOS inverter composed a junctionless (JL) NMOSFET and an N+-N--P transistor which with simple process and high integration density in this paper. In the non-traditional CMOS inverter the JL NMOSFET serves as driver and the N+-N--P transistor serves as load, respectively. Based on the measurement date of the N+-N--P transistor published, we draw the load line of the non-traditional...
In this study, we propose a novel bulkSi-based device called dual-channel body-tied (DCBT) MOSFET using the self-aligned process without any extra masks. It reveals that our proposed DCBT FET has excellent S.S., decreased Isd,leak, lower Rsd, reduced Jg,limit, smaller lattice temperature, and higher thermal stability when compared with its DC counterpart. And, for the first time, we will investigate...
The innovative basic punchthrough theory for the unipolar-CMOS is for the first time presented and the first unipolar-CMOS inverter has been fabricated successfully by using the 90nm technology developed in Taiwan National Nano Device Lab. The severe scaling issues with silicon can be further use and no more serious. The low-performance P-FETs can be get rid of and switch much faster both for high-electron-mobility...
In this work, a novel device called dual-channel body-tied (DCBT) MOSFET is proposed. According to numerical simulations, the DCBT MOSFET can reduce the lattice temperature about 51.6% in top and 53.8% in bottom channel, respectively, while maintain the desirable short-channel characteristics, compared with the conventional non-body-tied DC structure.
This paper presents a highly scalable π-shaped source/drain (π-S/D) quasi-silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET and summarizes its preliminary characteristics compared with the recessed S/D SOI MOSFET and international technology roadmap for semiconductors (ITRS) roadmap values. SiGe-Si epitaxial growth, Si and SiGe etching, growth of epitaxial Si, and selective SiGe removal are used to form the π-S/D...
In this paper, a non-classical body-tied vertical field-effect transistor (BTVFET) utilizing the self-aligned technique is presented and demonstrated. Based on the simulations, we find out that the electrical characteristics of the BTVFET are better than that of the conventional SOI VFET, including the outstanding ability of heat dissipation, higher channel mobility, lower parasitic capacitance, and...
An overview of recent developments of the chemistry of halogen-free flame retardant polymers is presented in this paper. The polymers or reactive monomers that are inherently flamed retarding contain P, Si, B, N and other miscellaneous elements. They can be used on their own or added to current bulk commercial polymers to enhance flame retardancy. The synthetic chemistry of these molecules is discussed...
