In the recent sub-20 nm technology node, the process variability issues have become a major problem for scaling of MOS devices. We present a design for a strained Si/SiGe FinFET on an insulator using a 3D TCAD simulator. The impact of metal gate work function variability (WFV) on electrical parameters is studied. Such impact of WFV for different mole fractions (x) of the SiGe layer in a strained SOI-FinFET with varying grain size is presented. The results show that as the mole fraction is increased, the variability in threshold voltage (σVT) and off current (σIoff) is decreased; while, the variability of on-current (σIon) is increased. A notable observation is the distribution of electrical parameters approaches a normal distribution for smaller grain sizes. 相似文献
This paper addresses reliability issues associated with temperature of Ferroelectric Dopant Segregated Schottky Barrier Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (Fe DS-SBTFET). The simulated results are compared with Dopant Segregated Schottky Barrier TFET (DS-SBTFET). This is achieved by varying the operating temperature from 300 to 500 K. DC parameters such as ION/IOFF ratio, drain current characteristics and subthreshold swing (SS) for a range of temperature have been highlighted. Moreover, the influence of temperature on various RF figure of merits such as gate capacitance (CGG), intrinsic delay, cutoff frequency (fT) etc. have been investigated. The device linearity has been analyzed by considering the effect of temperature variation on linearity parameters like gm2, gm3, 1-dB compression point, VIP2, VIP3 and IIP3. The device characteristics get upgraded by the increase in cut-off frequency and reduction in intrinsic delay at elevated temperature.
Despite a large body of work on XPath query processing in relational environment, systematic study of queries containing not-predicates have received little attention in the literature. Particularly, several xml supports of industrial-strength commercial rdbms fail to efficiently evaluate such queries. In this paper, we present an efficient and novel strategy to evaluate not-twig queries in a tree-unaware relational environment. not-twig queries are XPath queries with ancestor–descendant and parent–child axis and contain one or more not-predicates. We propose a novel Dewey-based encoding scheme called Andes (ANcestor Dewey-based Encoding Scheme), which enables us to efficiently filter out elements satisfying a not-predicate by comparing their ancestor group identifiers. In this approach, a set of elements under the same common ancestor at a specific level in the xml tree is assigned same ancestor group identifier. Based on this scheme, we propose a novel sql translation algorithm for not-twig query evaluation. Experiments carried out confirm that our proposed approach built on top of an off-the-shelf commercial rdbms significantly outperforms state-of-the-art relational and native approaches. We also explore the query plans selected by a commercial relational optimizer to evaluate our translated queries in different input cardinality. Such exploration further validates the performance benefits of Andes. 相似文献

An attempt is made to develop a novel series of cable sheathing compounds with variation in chlorine content and sufficient fire retardance and unique low-smoke characteristics. These are prepared by blending PVC and functionalized polyolefins in different compositions. PE and EPDM have been functionalized by grafting dibutyl maleate (DBM) using DCP as initiator. FRLS compounds made from PVC-functionalized polyolefin blends possess the special characteristics of low-smoke, low-acid-gas generation, increased fire retardance, and improved volume resistivity, which are much better in comparison with a typical PVC sheathing compound. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) based nonhalogen FRLS compounds are also reported. The mechanisms for grafting, polymer-polymer and polymer-filler interactions have been presented. 相似文献
The effects of short carbon fibers on static and dynamic properties of thermoplastic elastomeric blends of natural rubber (NR) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been studied. Both mechanical and dynamic properties are dependent on fiber concentration. The fiber aspect ratio ranges from 20 to 30. Adhesion between fiber and matrix is evident from the SEM photomicrographs of the failed composites and from variation of relative damping properties. Fiber orientation occurring during processing causes anisotropy in the physical properties. In composites with longitudinally oriented fibers, tensile failure occurs by both fiber pullout and breakage, while in composites with transversely oriented fibers, matrix failure dominates. The incorporation of fibers into the matrix lowers the tan δmax value, but no change in glass transition temperature is observed. 相似文献
