An empirical formula for the prediction of rain attenuation infrequency range 0.6 - 100 GHz

An empirical formula for calculating the extinction cross section (ECS) by raindrops over a broad frequency range is first derived based on extensive calculations made on a widely varying in mean radius of modified Pruppacher and Pitter (MPP) raindrop models ranging from 0.25 to 3.5 mm. The expansion coefficients in the empirical formula are determined by least-squares curve fitting of numerical data obtained by the volume integral equation formulation (VIEF). The formula satisfies the frequency and raindrop size dependence. Numerical results obtained from the empirical formula for calculating the ECS are generally in good agreement with those calculated by the VIEF for raindrops with mean radius varying from 0.25 to 3.5 mm in the frequency range from 0.6 to 100 GHz. The average error in the ECS is less than 10%. The formula thus provides a simple and inexpensive method for calculating the ECS of raindrops, which otherwise requires complicated and expensive methods of calculation. By implementing this empirical formula of ECS into the rain attenuation equation, a new numerically empirical formula for calculating the specific rain attenuation is also proposed. The validity of the empirical formula for calculating the specific rain attenuation is also checked by comparing the obtained results of specific rain attenuation with those obtained from Li et al.'s (1995) solution, Yeo et al.'s (1993) measurement, and Olsen et al.'s (1978) power-law equation

Efficient design/simulation algorithms for simultaneous switching noise in leadframe packages

 Two new modeling and simulation approaches for Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) are described and compared to “brute force” simulation by SPICE. Both simulation accuracy and simulation run-time are considered. The two new approaches are: 1) the “effective inductance” method, in which an approximate, very efficient method of extracting an SSN L _eff  is utilized; and 2) the “macromodel” method, in which the complex inductance network responsible for SSN is represented by only a few dominant poles in the frequency domain and the time domain response is obtained by an efficient convolution algorithm. Both approaches are shown to be accurate and fast, but only the effective inductance algorithm is robust in numerical convergence. Received: 19 March 1997 / Accepted: 25 March 1997     

A simple method for extracting average doping concentration in thepolysilicon and silicon surface layer near the oxide in polysilicon-gateMOS structures

The author demonstrates a simple technique that extracts average doping concentration in the polysilicon and silicon near the oxide in a metal/polysilicon/oxide/silicon system. The technique is based on the maximum-minimum capacitance method on two large area structures-one MOSFET and one MOSC (MOS capacitor). The technique is simple and reliable since only three data points in the C-V data are required-two points in MOSC C-V and one point in MOSFET C-V. The technique avoids inaccuracy caused by interface traps at the polysilicon/oxide and the oxide/silicon interface. The technique can be implemented into fab routine electric-test procedures for simultaneously monitoring change of doping concentration in polysilicon and silicon during process development     

Enhancement of oxide break-up by implantation of fluorine inpoly-Si emitter contacted p+-n shallow junctionformation

In this study, it is demonstrated that the incorporation of fluorine can enhance poly-Si/Si interfacial oxide break-up in the poly-Si emitter contacted p⁺-n shallow junction formation. The annealing temperature for breaking up the poly-Si/Si interfacial oxide has been found to be as low as 900°C. As a result, the junction depth of the BF₂-implanted device is much larger than that of the boron-implanted device
