The objective of this paper is to simulate static I-V and dynamic characteristics of an appropriated and recessed nGaN/AlxGa1-xN/GaN high electron mobility (HEMT). Using SILVACO TCAD device simulation, and optimized technological parameters; we calculate the drain-source current (IDS) as a function of the drain-source voltage (VDS) for different values of the gatesource voltage (VGS), and the d...

Bipolar transistor performances can be characterized by figures of merit such as cut-off frequency, maximum frequency of oscillation and Emitter Coupled Logic gate delay. We studied the required figures of merit for digital application and the effects of lateral and vertical scaling to the figures of merit of SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor. With lateral scaling, the width of emitter fin...

At frequencies around ωx, the inductor can be equivalently modeled by the parallel circuit on the right where the conductance Gp relates to the resistance Rs as The relationship between the maximum oscillation frequency and the process parameter fT for two useful classes of oscillators is developed. Results show that the oscillation frequency of a class of LC-tank oscillators can be substantial...

[1] We report on laboratory friction experiments in which simulated faults are exposed to shear velocity oscillations at different amplitudes and frequencies. Granular layers are sheared in a servo-controlled biaxial apparatus at constant normal stress and background shear velocity, with a shear velocity sinusoid superimposed. Correlation between oscillations and stick-slip events is determined...

this paper presents a new modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (msfla) applied to design simultaneous coordinated tuning of damping controllers to damp the power system low frequency oscillations. for this, a new frog leaping rule is proposed to improve the local exploration and performance of the original sfla and the genetic mutation operator is employed for new frog generation instead of...

Microwave-radiation induced giant magnetoresistance oscillations recently discovered in high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems are analyzed theoretically. Multiphoton-assisted impurity scatterings are shown to be the primary origin of the oscillation. Based on a theory which considers the interaction of electrons with electromagnetic fields and the effect of the cyclotron resonance in F...

Grasshoppers of 20 acridid species were examined using spectral analysis, laser vibrometry and electrophysiology to determine whether the song spectra, the best frequencies of tympanal-membrane vibrations and the threshold curves of the tympanal nerves are adapted to one another. The songs of almost all species have a relatively broad-band maximum in the region between 20 and 40 kHz and a narro...

An integrable current-tunable sinusoidal quadrature oscillator is presented. A current-tunable all-pass filter is used as the frequency-selective network. The implementation is fullybalanced so as to enable accurate quadrature signals with symmetry. The oscillation frequency is currenttunable over a wide-freqency sweep range of approximately three orders of magnitude. The quadrature signals pos...

The transient response of a millimeter-sized sessile droplet under electrical actuation is experimentally investigated. Under DC actuation, the droplet spreading rate increases as the applied voltage is increased due to the higher electrical forces induced. At sufficiently high DC voltages, competition between the electrical actuation force, droplet inertia, the retarding surface tension force ...
