A GaN/InGaN/AlGaN MQW RTD for versatile MVL applications with improved logic stability

To improve the logic stability of conventional multi-valued logic (MVL) circuits designed with a GaN-based resonate tunneling diode (RTD),we proposed a GaN/InGaN/AlGaN multi-quantum well (MQW) RTD.The proposed RTD was simulated through solving the coupled Schrodinger and Poisson equations in the numerical non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method on the TCAD platform.The proposed RTD was grown layer by layer in epitaxial technologies.Simulated results indicate that its current-voltage characteristic appears to have a wider total negative differential resistance region than those of conventional ones and an obvious hysteresis loop at room temperature.To increase the Al composite of AlGaN barrier layers properly results in increasing of both the total negative differential resistance region width and the hysteresis loop width,which is helpful to improve the logic stability of MVL circuits.Moreover,the complement resonate tunneling transistor pair consisted of the proposed RTDs or the proposed RTD and enhanced mode HEMT controlled RTD is capable of generating versatile MVL modes at different supply voltages less than 3.3 V,which is very attractive for implementing more complex MVL function digital integrated circuits and systems with less devices,super high speed linear or nonlinear ADC and voltage sensors with a built-in super high speed ADC function.     

A novel range alignment method for ISAR based on linear T/R array model

In inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging, translation compensation should be done before range-Doppler imaging process, and range alignment is the first step for translation compensation. In order to remove the limitation of integer range bin and align the echoes precisely for ISAR range alignment, combining with the advantage of array signal processing at fractional unit delay compensation, we propose a novel range alignment method based on linear transmitting/receiving (T/R) array. Firstly the ISAR imaging system is modeled as a linear T/R array. Then based on the snapshot imaging model of linear T/R array, range alignment is accomplished by wave path difference compensation which is transformed into the phase difference compensation in frequency domain between adjacent array elements. The phase difference compensation consists of integer range bin alignment and decimal time delay compensation which is implemented by the phase rotation’s estimation and compensation in frequency domain. Finally, the results of simulation data and real radar data are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A novel linear switched termination active cross‐coupled low‐voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transceiver operating at 1.5 GHz clock frequency is presented. On the transmitter side, an active cross‐coupled linear output driver and a switched termination scheme are applied to achieve high speed with low current. On the receiver side, a shared preamplifier scheme is employed to reduce power consumption. The proposed LVDS transceiver implemented in an 80 nm CMOS process is successfully demonstrated to provide a data rate of 6 Gbps/pin, an output data window of 147 ps peak‐to‐peak, and a data swing of 196 mV.

Ice-Templated,Large-Area Silver Nanowire Pattern for Flexible Transparent Electrode

Flexible transparent electrodes are critically important for the emerging flexible and stretchable electronic and optoelectronic devices. To this end, transparent polymer films coated with silver nanowires (AgNWs) have been intensively studied in the past decade. However, it remains a grand challenge to achieve both high conductivity and transmittance in large-area films, mainly due to the poor alignment of AgNWs and their high junction resistance. Here, the successful attempt to realize large-area AgNW patterns on various substrates by a 2D ice-templating approach is reported. With a relatively low dosage of AgNWs (4 µg·cm⁻²), the resulted flexible electrode simultaneously achieves high optical transmittance (≈91%) and low sheet resistance (20 Ω·sq⁻¹). In addition, the electrode exhibits excellent durability during cyclic bending (≈10 000 times) and stretching (50% strain). The potential applications of the flexible transparent electrode in both touch screen and electronic skin sensor, which can monitor the sliding pressure and direction in real-time, are demonstrated. More importantly, it is believed that the study represents a facile and low-cost approach to assemble various nanomaterials into large-area functional patterns for advanced flexible devices.
