A novel InP/InGaAs tunneling emitter bipolar transistor (TEBT) is fabricated and demonstrated. The studied device exhibits a very small collector-emitter offset voltage of 40 mV and an extremely wide operation regime. The operation region is larger than 11 decades in magnitude of collector current (10/sup -12/ to 10/sup -1/A). A current gain of 3 is obtained even if the device is operated at an ultralow collector current of 3.9 /spl times/ 10/sup -12/A (1.56 /spl times/ 10/sup -7/A/cm/sup 2/). Furthermore, the common-emitter breakdown voltage of the studied device is higher than 2 V. Consequently, the studied device shows a promise for low supply voltage, and low-power consumption circuit applications. 相似文献
Based on Lee-Lu-Lee's array multipliers and the RESO method, a concurrent error detection scheme in array multipliers for GF(2m ) fields is presented and only one clock cycle is added. The fault tolerant capability in such array multipliers is also included and only two extra clock cycles are required 相似文献
Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are listed as carcinogenic and mutagenic priority pollutants, belonging to the environmental endocrine disrupters. Most PAHs in the environment stem from the atmospheric deposition and diesel emission. Consequently, the elimination of PAHs in the off-gases is one of the priority and emerging challenges. Catalytic oxidation has been widely used in the destruction of organic compounds due to its high efficiency (or conversion of reactants), its economic benefits and good applicability.
This study investigates the application of the catalytic oxidation using Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts to decompose PAHs and taking naphthalene (the simplest and least toxic PAH) as a target compound. It studies the relationships between conversion, operating parameters and relevant factors such as treatment temperatures, catalyst sizes and space velocities. Also, a related reaction kinetic expression is proposed to provide a simplified expression of the relevant kinetic parameters.
The results indicate that the Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst used accelerates the reaction rate of the decomposition of naphthalene and decreases the reaction temperature. A high conversion (over 95%) can be achieved at a moderate reaction temperature of 480 K and space velocity below 35,000 h−1. Non-catalytic (thermal) oxidation achieves the same conversion at a temperature beyond 1000 K. The results also indicate that Rideal–Eley mechanism and Arrhenius equation can be reasonably applied to describe the data by using the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic equation with activation energy of 149.97 kJ/mol and frequency factor equal to 3.26 × 1017 s−1. 相似文献
This paper presents a particle penetration model predicting particle penetration coefficient (Pp) through a narrow crack of arbitrary incline angles (θ). The objective was to simulate Pp for outdoor-to-indoor particle penetration for residential infiltration conditions. This model assumes laminar infiltration flow and considers particle deposition from both gravitational sedimentation and Brownian diffusion. For micron-sized particles, modeling results indicate that gravitational sedimentation is the major deposition mechanism. Pp increases monotonically with ∣θ∣ because effective particle sedimentation velocity (vs?cos?θ) decreases monotonically with ∣θ∣. For submicron-sized particles (0.1?μm), Brownian diffusion is the major particle deposition mechanism. Because Brownian diffusion is a nondirectional deposition mechanism, crack inclination did not affect Pp. This study applied this model to estimate Pp for L-shaped cracks, and validated modeling results with experiments. Experimental results indicated that inertial impaction and crack entrance cutoff effects were not significant particle deposition mechanisms for the test micron-sized particles. Gravitational sedimentation was the major deposition mechanism. An L-shaped crack can be simulated as the combination of horizontal and vertical sections. This model agreed reasonably with experimental results. 相似文献
The effect of phenylephrine-induced reflex parasympathetic stimulation on QT interval and its dispersion was studied in 16 healthy subjects with a history of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, both during sinus rhythm and during atrial pacing. Results demonstrate that rapid reflex parasympathetic stimulation does not influence QT interval duration or QT dispersion, and also emphasize the inappropriateness of Bazett's formula, the need for comparison of QT intervals during identical heart rates, and the importance of analyzing all 12 leads of a standard electrocardiogram when assessing the effects of various interventions on the QT interval. 相似文献
The purpose of this paper is to simulate the pressure set-point change transient with the Kuosheng plant analyzer. The Kuosheng plant analyzer was developed for the Kuosheng nuclear power station based on the boiling water reactor plant analyzer of the Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Chinshan plant analyzer of the Taiwan Power Co. First, the pressure control system (PCS) model was verified on a stand-alone basis, with the sensed dome pressure test signal as the input variable. Then, a transient induced by a step change in the pressure set-point was simulated with the Kuosheng plant analyzer and compared with the test data. The predicted results of the main system variables showed good agreement with the test data-within 8% of the maximum relative deviation. In addition, the PCS performance of the Kuosheng nuclear power station was analyzed. 相似文献
Anodic oxidation at room temperature with pure deionized water as electrolyte and then followed by high-temperature rapid thermal densification was used to prepare high breakdown endurance thin-gate oxides with thicknesses of about 50 Å. It was observed that the oxides prepared by anodic oxidation followed by rapid thermal densification (AOD) show better electrical characteristics than those grown by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) only. The AOD oxides have a very low midgap interface trap density, Ditm, of smaller than 1×1010 eV-1 cm-2 and negative effective oxide trapped charge. From the smaller leakage currents observed during staircase ramp voltage time-zero dielectric breakdown (TZDB) and constant field time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) testings, it is supposed that the uniform interfacial property and the pretrapped negative charges in AOD oxides are responsible for the improved characteristics 相似文献
As IC devices scale down to the submicron level, the resistance-capacitance (RC) time delays are the limitation to circuit
speed. A solution is to use low dielectric constant materials and low resistivity materials. In this work, the influence of
underlying barrier Ta on the electromigration (EM) of Cu on hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) and SiO2 substrates was investigated. The presence of a Ta barrier not only improves the adhesion between Cu and dielectrics, but
also enhances the crystallinity of Cu film and improves the Cu electromigration resistance. The activation energy obtained
suggests a grain boundary migration mechanism and the current exponent calculated indicates the Joule heating effect. 相似文献
