Reversible energy recovery logic circuit without non-adiabaticenergy loss

The authors propose a reversible energy recovery logic (RERL) circuit for ultra-low-energy consumption, which consumes only adiabatic energy loss and leakage current loss by completely eliminating non-adiabatic energy loss. It is a dual-rail adiabatic circuit using the concept of reversible logic with a new eight-phase clocking scheme. Simulation results show that at low-speed operation, the RERL consumes much less energy than the complementary static CMOS circuit and other adiabatic logic circuits

Analysis of matrix damage evolution in laminated composite plates

A new model has been developed to investigate matrix cracking in laminated fibrous composite structures. The model can predict matrix cracking and its effect on stiffness reduction. It can also compute the load transfer from the cracked matrix to surrounding fibers. The model is based on the micromechanical concept of the fiber and matrix as well as the matrix material degradation concept as matrix cracking progressed. The micromechanical concept uses a rectangular cell geometry representing a fiber and its surrounding matrix while the material degradation concept uses an empirical expression of a Weibull type function. Two material constants are required for matrix cracking. The constants were obtained from an experiment on matrix cracking. With those constants, the present model predicts the matrix cracking in other cases. The predicted solutions were comparable to the experimental data.     

Strength of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu matrix composite reinforced with SiC particles

The AA7075 alloys reinforced with SiC and without SiC particles were fabricated by a pressureless infiltration method, and then, their tensile properties and microstructures were analyzed. The spontaneous infiltration of molten metal at 800 °C for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere made it possible to fabricate 7075 Al matrix composite reinforced with SiC, as well as a control 7075 Al without SiC. A significant strengthening even in the control alloy occurred due to the formation of in-situ AlN particle even without an addition of SiC particles. Composite reinforced with SiC particles exhibited higher strength values than the control alloy in all aging conditions (underaged (UA), peak-aged (PA), and overaged (OA)), as well as a solution treated condition. Spontaneous infiltration was further prompted owing to the combined effect of both Mg and Zn. This may lead to an enhancement of wetting between the molten alloy and the reinforcement. Consequently, strength improvement in a composite may be attributed to good bond strength via enhancement of wetting. The grain size of the control alloy is greatly decreased to about 2.5 μm compared to 10 μm for the commercial alloy. In addition, the grain size in the composite is further decreased to about 2 μm. These grain refinements contributed to strengthening of the control alloy and the composite.     

Interdiffusion behavior of Hg in HgTe/CdTe superlattices grown on Cd0.96Zn0.04 Te (211)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxy

Double-crystal x-ray rocking curve (DCRC) and secondary-ion mass-spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements have been performed to investigate the effect of rapid thermal annealing on the interdiffusion behavior of Hg in HgTe/CdTe superlattices grown on Cd_0.96Zn_0.04Te (211)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The sharp satellite peaks of the DCRC measurements on a 100-period HgTe/CdTe (100Å/100Å) superlattice show a periodic arrangement of the superlattice with high-quality interfaces. The negative direction of the entropy change obtained from the diffusion coefficients as a function of the reciprocal of the temperature after RTA indicates that the Hg diffusion for the annealed HgTe/CdTe superlattice is caused by an interstitial mechanism. The Cd and the Hg concentration profiles near the annealed HgTe/CdTe superlattice interfaces, as measured by SIMS, show a nonlinear behavior for Hg, originating from the interstitial diffusion mechanism of the Hg composition. These results indicate that a nonlinear interdiffusion behavior is dominant for HgTe/CdTe superlattices annealed at 190°C and that the rectangular shape of HgTe/CdTe superlattices may change to a parabolic shape because of the intermixing of Hg and Cd due to the thermal treatment.     

Improved performances of a S-SEED using extremely shallowquantum-wells and asymmetric Fabry-Perot cavity structure

The authors report significantly improved performances of a symmetric self-electrooptic-effect device (S-SEED), with high on-off contrast ratio (>30:l) and large optical bistability loop widths (ΔP=44%) at an applied bias of V_a=0 V, i.e., with no power supply. The S-SEED is made of extremely shallow quantum wells (ESQWs) in an asymmetric Fabry-Perot (AFP) cavity structure. At V_a =5 V ΔP increased by up to 95%, preserving the high contrast ratio. The reflectivity changes at V_a=0 and 5 V were about 15% and 30%, respectively. These are believed to be the largest values ever reported for such structures     

Self-aligned offset gated poly-Si TFTs with a floating sub-gate

We have fabricated a self-aligned offset-gated poly-Si thin film transistor (TFT) by employing a novel photoresist reflow process. The gate structure of the new device is consisted of two unique patterns: A main-gate and a sub-gate. The new fabrication method extends the gate-oxide over the offset region. With the assistance of the sub-gate and reflowed photoresist a self-aligned offset region is successfully obtained due to the offset oxide acting as an implantation mask. The poly-Si TFT with symmetrical offsets is easily fabricated and the new method does not require any additional offset mask step. Compared with the misaligned offset gated poly-Si TFTs, excellent symmetric electrical characteristics are obtained
