BSIM4和ULTRA-BULK模型对称性和连续性的检验

本文以对比的形式用GUMMEL对称测试电路的模拟结果检验了伯克利大学的BSIM4和北京大学的ULTRA-BULK两个CMOS器件模型的对称性和连续性特性。SPICE模拟结果表明: 工业标准模型BSIM4在电荷,电流高阶导数以及电容等的连续性和对称性上具有一系列的缺陷,而最新发展的基于表面势的MOSFET解析模型ULTRA-Bulk却表现出必需的连续性和对称性. 既然这些属性对于模拟电路和射频电路设计都是非常重要的, 那么新一代CMOS模型采用基于表面势的各种MOSFET解析模型将是必然的发展.     

Realization of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-cascade lasers with high average optical power

Quasi-continuous-wave operation of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-cascade lasers with high average optical power is demonstrated. Double X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate the quality of the epitaxial material. The compositional gradients and the interface quality are controlled effectively.

The influence of solder volume and pad area on Sn–3.8Ag–0.7Cu and Ni UBM reaction in reflow soldering and isothermal aging

This paper examines various aspects of SAC (Sn–3.8Ag–0.7Cu wt.%) solder and UBM interactions which may impact interconnection reliability as it scales down. With different solder joint sizes, the dissolution rate of UBM and IMC growth kinetics will be different. Solder bumps on 250, 80 and 40 μm diameter UBM pads were investigated. The effect of solder volume/pad metallization area (V/A) ratio on IMC growth and Ni dissolution was investigated during reflow soldering and solid state isothermal aging. Higher V/A ratio produced thinner and more fragmented IMC morphology in SAC solder/Ni UBM reflow soldering interfacial reaction. Lower V/A ratio produced better defined IMC layer at the Ni UBM interface. When the ratio of V/A is constant, the IMC morphology and growth trend was found to be similar. After 250 h of isothermal aging, the IMC growth rate of the different bump sizes leveled off. No degradation in shear strength was observed in these solder bump after 500 h of isothermal aging.

Resource allocation using time division multiple access over wireless relay networks

This article considers a wireless network consisting of multiple sources that communicate with the corresponding destination utilizing a single half-duplex relay, whereas, the sources use the relay opportunistically. By integrating the information theory with the concept of effective capacity, this article proposes a dynamic time allocation strategy over the wireless relay network that aims at maximizing the relay network throughput, subject to a given delay quality of service （QoS） constraint, where time division multiple access （TDMA） is applied in the relay network. The simulation results show that the proposed allocation strategy can significantly improve the effective capacity as compared to the traditional equal time allocation strategy.     

A Novel Single-Feed Circular Microstrip Antenna With Reconfigurable Polarization Capability

A single-feed circular microstrip antenna with reconfigurable polarization capability is proposed. This antenna has a simple structure, which consists of a radiating circular patch, five switches (PIN diode), three matching stubs, and a 50 microstrip feed line. It can be switched between 4 different states: two states (low-frequency and high-frequency) for linear polarization (LP), one state for left hand circular polarization (LHCP) and one for right hand circular polarization (RHCP) by controlling the bias voltage of two PIN diodes. At the same time, three switchable matching stubs are used for matching every polarization state. Simulation results and experimental results show that the proposed antenna demonstrates a low cross polarization level, good impedance bandwidth, and a very good axial ratio in the circularly polarized states.
