In this study, a novel piezoresistor (PZR) design to improve the sensitivity of the piezoresistive type pressure sensor is reported. In this design, the PZR combined with various doping concentrations and doping depths is proposed and implemented. According to the design concept, the combined PZR which includes multiple piezoresistance coefficients would be arranged in a unique shape, just like a...
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 considers mechanical stress and strain in a piezoresistive cantilever sensor under surface stress loading, which is the loading condition that occurs in biochemical sensing applications. Finite element simulations examine the piezoresistor sensitivity due to changes in cantilever length, width, and thickness, and piezoresistor size, location, and depth. A few unexpected results are found...
ldquoDevelopment for advanced thermoelectric conversion systemsrdquo supported by the new energy and industrial technology development organization (NEDO) has been successfully completed as one of the Japanese national energy conservation projects. Three types of the cascaded thermoelectric modules operating up to 850 K in high electrode temperature and two types of Bi-Te thermoelectric modules operating...
