We have demonstrated packaging of a silicon photonic chip with polymer multimode waveguides on a package substrate in a face-up electro-optic 3D integration scheme. The optical loss at the die-to-package interface in O-band was measured to be 7.6dB, which agrees well with simulation.
InAlGaAs/InP p-i-n photodiodes epitaxially grown on silicon substrate with a dark current density as low as 1.3 mA/cm2 at −3 V are demonstrated. Responsivity, bandwidth, and output power at 1-dB compression are 0.76 A/W, 8 GHz, and −3.4 dBm, respectively.
The report considers the modified Peters algorithm to calculate the Hurst exponent (HE), the essential properties of HE are proved, an example, analysis of a random time series is given.
In this work, we give the first construction of high-rate locally list-recoverable codes. List-recovery has been an extremely useful building block in coding theory, and our motivation is to use these codes as such a building block. In particular, our construction gives the first capacity-achieving locally list-decodable codes (over constant-sized alphabet); the first capacity achieving} globally...
This paper presents an experimental switching behaviour comparison of GaN HEMT and SiC MOSFET against their Si competitors, the Si SJ MOSFET and high speed Si IGBT, in the 650 V class. The devices are first compared using their respective datasheets. The test circuit is introduced and hard switching tests under inductive load are performed to reveal the switching performance of the devices. The differences...
This paper presents Direct Power Control (DPC) based on instantaneous power theory is presented. The simulation of a grid connected five level inverter via an inductive filter with a new direct power strategy is used. However, this control method is similar to the classic DPC method, in which used triangles instead of the sectors. Furthermore, the regulation of DC link without interfering the hysteresis...
Charge trapping properties of Al-ZrO2/Al2O3/ZrO2-SiO2-Si structures were investigated in attempt to elucidate the instability in their C-V hysteresis. The hysteresis in these structures is mainly due to subsequent trapping of electrons and holes injected from the Si substrate. However the competitive process of electron injection from the gate accompanied by the high leakage introduces instability...
This paper covers characterization and gate drive design for high voltage, gallium nitride (GaN), high electron-mobility transistors (HEMT) in a cascode structure. Parameters of high voltage cascode GaN HEMT devices are described and compared to state-of-the-art Si MOSFET devices. Challenges in designing high frequency GaN based power converter and common design practices are described. Effects of...
Stringent requirements on higher power density and efficiency for power electronics converters in applications such as server/telecom power systems and industrial motor drives necessitate transformative changes in power electronic architecture as well as replacement of Si based FETs with wide bandgap devices. For power-factor-correction (PFC) circuits, the path for greater power density necessitates...
DC power delivery system is becoming an attractive alternative in an AC dominant world due to its higher energy efficiency and better cable utilization. It has already been applied in data centers, commercial buildings, electrical vehicle charge stations and micro grid systems, etc. Among many new issues that need to be addressed for the DC power delivery system, ultra-fast and accurate protection...
Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices with super-cascode structure provide a cost-effective solution for high performance medium voltage power switches. However, these SiC super-cascode devices are still in the early development stage, and limited information on the device characteristics is available.

A novel configuration operating at 1550 nm based on silicon-on-insulator substrate is proposed for side-lobes suppression of a dielectric optical nanoantenna. The proposed configuration consists of reflection gratings which can reflect the downward light back. By using this configuration, the side-lobe level can be improved by 12.78 dB.
Following the recent advances in the production of 3.3 kV and 10 kV SiC power MOSFETs, Wolfspeed launched an effort to develop a new generation 6.5 kV SiC power MOSFET to fill the medium-to high-voltage fast switching device void in applications such as rail traction and mediumvoltage motor drives. The characteristics of the new generation 6.5 kV SiC power MOSFET rated at a drain current of 30 A,...
Post Silicon Validation is critical step in order to deliver quality microcontroller chips to customers but is increasingly becoming complex and time consuming process as the design size is increasing. Due to increased number & diversity of design intellectual property, microcontroller post silicon validation has moved towards customized validation concept and hardware setup for individual design...
In future radio access networks, radio-over-fiber links will be a key enabling technology. A link which is cost-effective in both deployment and operation will be of paramount importance to the development of such networks. Using silicon photonics for the transmitter and receiver is a cost-effective and high-performance solution. In this work we present a link which can transport up to 16 Gbps 16-QAM...
Bandwidth limitation of current wireless frequency bands and the energy consumption are challenges that have to be addressed by future 5G wireless networks. The millimeter wave (mm-wave) spectrum, spanning 30 GHz to 300 GHz, is a prime candidate to resolve the bandwidth limitation issue in future networks. High-speed electronics, though, are quite energy-inefficient for such mm-wave signal generation...
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a program that has been shown to be successful in supporting students in historically challenging courses and improving grades, retention, and understanding of course material. SI was started at the University of Missouri — Kansas City (UMKC) in 1973, but has since branched out to approximately 1500 institutions in 30 countries. In the spring of 2016, two faculty members...
In this paper, we study the influence from the sentiment of regular tweets on retweeting. We propose a method to calculate the sentiment score for each tweet and each Twitter user. This method enables us to place the tweets and retweets into the same time period to explore the sentiment factor. We adopt the correlation coefficient between the sentiment scores of regular tweets and those of retweets...
The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Project Agency for Energy (ARPA-E) was established in 2009 to fund creative, out-of-the-box, transformational energy technologies that are too early for private-sector investment, at make-or break points in their technology development cycle. Development of advanced power electronics with unprecedented functionality, efficiency, reliability, and reduced...
Math's are fundamental in all our activities inclusive daily activities. Dominate them is a challenge to people for all the ages because all this reasons we design and implement a tool that is based in a gamification that permit trough to game to get better the math skills specifically equations of first grade. It prove that students get better skills in resolve equations of first grade using Mahi...
