Theory of a novel voltage-sustaining layer for power devices

The theory of a novel voltage-sustaining layer for power devices, called a Composite Buffer layer (CB-layer for short) is proposed. The CB-layer can be implemented in several ways, one particular implementation is used here, which consists of alternating n- and p-type regions, that are parallel to the direction of the applied electric field. In the off-state, the fields induced by the depletion charges of both region types compensate each other to allowing the doping in both n-regions and p-regions to be very high without causing a reduction of the breakdown voltage. In the onstate the heavy doping ensures the voltage drop is very low and that the saturation current density high. A simple relationship between the specific on-resistance and R_on and the sustaining voltage V_B can be shown to be R_on=2.53 × 10⁻⁷bV_B^1.23 ωcm², where the breadth b (in μm) of each region is much smaller than the thickness W. The design method of the CB-layer is discussed in some detail. The simulation results are shown to be in perfect agreement with the theory. The structure has application to a wide variety of different power devices. An RMOST structure has been used to demonstrate the benefits of the technique in the paper, for which excellent performance is demonstrated.     

Application of HUMF13A01 (AAAG)n STR polymorphism to the genetic diagnosis of coagulation factor XIII deficiency

Deficiency of the A subunit of coagulation factor XIII causes a severe bleeding disorder requiring life long replacement therapy. The mutations causing A subunit deficiency appear to be very heterogeneous, and it is impractical to identify each mutation before genetic counselling or prenatal diagnosis can be attempted. In this study we have shown that a highly polymorphic short tandem repeat element, HUMF13A01 (AAAG)n that occurs in the 5' flanking sequence of the factor XIII A subunit gene, can be used to follow the segregation of deficiency causing mutations. We studied 6 families with factor XIII A subunit deficiency from 5 different ethnic groups. All parents were heterozygous for the repetitive element and therefore all the families were informative. The linked polymorphism was used to carry out the first prenatal diagnosis of factor XIII A subunit deficiency. The analysis of this polymorphism by the polymerase chain reaction is rapid, reliable, requires little DNA and is ideal for the genetic analysis of factor XIII A subunit deficiency.     

A design model for surface-termination optimization of off-statesemiconductor devices

An optimization design model for surface termination of off-state semiconductor devices under reverse-bias conditions is presented. The multivariable design model is used to optimize the surface profile shapes for nonplanar devices and the doping profiles of material regions along the surface for planar devices. The effectiveness of the design model in reducing the peak surface electric field to below 50% of the bulk value is demonstrated for two examples of each type of device     

The gene encoding human glutathione synthetase (GSS) maps to the long arm of chromosome 20 at band 11.2

Two forms of glutathione synthetase deficiency have been described. While one form is mild, causing hemolytic anemia, the other more severe form causes 5-oxo-prolinuria with secondary neurological involvement. Despite the existence of two deficiency phenotypes, Southern blots hybridized with a glutathione synthetase cDNA suggest that there is a single glutathione synthetase gene in the human genome. Analysis of somatic cell hybrids showed the human glutathione synthetase gene (GSS) to be located on chromosome 20, and this assignment has been refined to subband 20q11.2 using in situ hybridization.     

金圣节能清净剂 节能减排领导者

<正>随着我国私人轿车保有量日益增加,油价不断上涨,这都使节能减排任务更加艰巨。作为一个发展大国,我国还担负着低碳环保的世界责任。为应对全球气候变化,我国政府承诺到2020年单位国内生产总值二氧化碳排放要比2005年下降40%~45%,节能提高能效的贡献率要达到85%以上。这都给节能减排工作带来巨大挑战。目前,我国私家汽车保有量达9000多万辆,平均消耗汽油2.15吨。环保节能专家指出:如果每辆车都使用金圣车用燃油高效节能清净剂则每年节油达4000万吨,相当于大庆油田全年
