High-performance MIM capacitor using ALD high-k HfO/sub 2/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ laminate dielectrics

For the first time, we successfully fabricated and demonstrated high performance metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors with HfO/sub 2/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ laminate dielectric using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. Our data indicates that the laminate MIM capacitor can provide high capacitance density of 12.8 fF//spl mu/m/sup 2/ from 10 kHz up to 20 GHz, very low leakage current of 3.2 /spl times/ 10/sup -8/ A/cm/sup 2/ at 3.3 V, small linear voltage coefficient of capacitance of 240 ppm/V together with quadratic one of 1830 ppm/V/sup 2/, temperature coefficient of capacitance of 182 ppm//spl deg/C, and high breakdown field of /spl sim/6 MV/cm as well as promising reliability. As a result, the HfO/sub 2/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ laminate is a very promising candidate for next generation MIM capacitor for radio frequency and mixed signal integrated circuit applications.     

Analysis of ATSC field test results in Taiwan

Field tests of the transmission performance of the ATSC DTV system have been conducted in Taiwan. The test results as well as comparisons against the NTSC system performance are reported and analyzed. From the measured results the reception characteristics of the DTV can be deduced and can provide guidelines for television stations to design the transmission system, schedule equipment deployment, plan service coverage areas, and improve the reception quality of the digital signal     

Data mining of resilience indicators

In recent years, the Asia-Pacific region has experienced several financial setbacks, including speculative attacks in 1998 and the SARS outbreak in 2003. Financial stresses of this nature are unanticipated, and not all of the dangers can be predicted by the examination of market information and macroeconomic indicators. The Early Warning System (EWS) that has been adopted by the International Monetary Fund may not be able to predict future financial crises for all possible scenarios, because shocks come in many different forms. To supplement the EWS, this paper proposes a data mining framework to measure the resilience of an economy. The resilience framework does not predict a crisis, but rather assesses the current state of health of an economy and its ability to withstand a financial shock should one occur. The framework is based on a feedback system consisting of two stages. The first stage assigns a resilience score to each economy based on a fuzzy logic scoring scheme that is built on the ambiguous reasoning of experts. The second stage uses the classification tree approach to estimate thresholds for each economic indicator, and examines the quality of the fuzzy score. The result from the second stage is then passed back to the first stage as feedback. The final result is obtained when the feedback system reaches its equilibrium state. The proposed resilience framework is applied to the external-sector and the public-sector economies of several countries to illustrate its applicability.

Synthesis of carbon nanocapsules containing Fe, Ni or Co by arc discharge in aqueous solution

A simple, inexpensive and one-step synthesis method of metal-containing carbon nanocapsules using an arc discharge in aqueous solution is reported. It was found that Ni, Co and Fe nanoparticles could be in situ encapsulated in carbon shells when the arc was performed respectively in aqueous solutions of NiSO₄, CoSO₄ and FeSO₄. Transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron diffraction patterns of selected areas were used to determine the crystalline phase of the metal cores. To explain the formation mechanism of metal-containing carbon nanocapsules, a model of discharge in solution is proposed. This result presents a simply controllable way to synthesize metal-containing carbon nanocapsules.     

EL-CID电磁铁心故障检测试验的应用研究

为了检验发电机定子铁心质量,在制造过程中和安装现场,对发电机定子铁心进行试验是必不可少的.目前国内针对定子铁心更多地是采用常规试验方法,但是常规铁损试验所需的设备容量大、试验线路复杂,而且经济性较差、效率低下.而采用电磁定子铁芯故障探测仪(EL-CID)铁心试验只需提供约4％的额定磁通量,即可完成对铁心故障的诊断,其所需的励磁电源容量较小且容易配备和携带.为了更好地利用EL-CID检测方式进行铁心质量的判定,本文通过模拟多种故障状况下的试验,论证了EL-CID的使用条件和影响因素,为实际工作中EL-CID的应用提供更好的参考依据.     

一种改进的波束域ESPRIT算法

高分辨方位估计技术在声纳、雷达、通信、地质探测等众多应用领域中占有十分重要的地位.ESPRIT算法作为一种成熟的高分辨算法有运算量小的优点,但其减小了阵列的有效孔径,在现有的高分辨处理设备中,由于空间的限制,阵列不可能随意增大,因此要最大限度的扩大阵列的有效孔径.通过对均匀线列阵下波束域ESPRIT算法(BmESPRIT)的研究,提出了一种基于ESPRIT的新算法,并给出了转换成波束域处理的构造方法.该算法利用后向平移技术,使两子阵列与原阵列具有相同的有效孔径.有效的利用了阵列资源.仿真结果表明在相同条件下该算法的估计性能明显提高.
