As an add-on device option for the ultra-low power CMOS technology, the double-gated vertical-channel Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) of different source configurations are comparatively studied from the perspectives of fabrication and current drivability. While the Top-Source design where the source of the device is placed on the top of the fin makes the fabrication and source engineer...

Comparative Study on Program/Erase E ciency and Retention Properties of 3-D SONOS Flash Memory Cell Array Transistors: Structural Approach from Double-Gate FET and FinFET to Gate-All-Around FET So Ra Park, Kwan Young Kim, Changmin Choi, Kwan-Jae Song, Jun-Hyun Park, Kichan Jeon, Sunyeong Lee, Tae Yoon Kim, Ji Eun Lee, Sangwon Lee, Sungwook Park, Jaeman Jang, Dong Myong Kim and Dae Hwan Kim Scho...

In this present work, different Cross-Coupled Differential Drive (CCDD) CMOS bridge rectifiers are designed using either 32 nm or Tunnel-FET (TFET) technology. Commercial PDK has been used for the technology, while lookup tables (LUT) resulting from a physics model have applied TFET. To consider parasitic effects circuit performances, nm-based circuits laid out, included in TFET LUT implementat...

BACKGROUND Pompe disease is an inherited autosomal recessive deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA) and is due to pathogenic sequence variants in the corresponding GAA gene. While the analysis of enzyme activity remains the diagnostic test of choice for individuals with Pompe disease, mutation analysis remains for establishing a definitive diagnosis. METHODS High resolution melting (HRM) anal...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Precise control of the polymerization dynamics of cyanoacrylate mixtures used in the embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations is required to achieve a safe and permanent obliteration of the lesion. In this study, in vivo embolization using mixtures of Histoacryl, Lipiodol Ultra-Fluid, and glacial acetic acid (GAA) was investigated. The present study investigat...

We developed and evaluated a colorimetric method for enzymic determination of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) in urine. Endogenous urinary urea was first eliminated by urease (EC 3.5.1.5), and the added urease was then removed from the sample by centrifugal ultrafiltration. GAA in the ultrafiltrate was subsequently hydrolyzed by guanidinoacetate amidinohydrolase (EC 3.5.3.2) to glycine and urea. The...

Pompe disease (PD) is a lysosomal disorder caused by acid α-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency. Progressive muscular weakness is the major symptom of PD, and enzyme replacement therapy can improve the clinical outcome. However, to achieve a better clinical outcome, alternative therapeutic strategies are being investigated, including gene therapy and pharmacological chaperones. We previously used lent...

Accumulation of trap charges at the semiconductor and oxide interface is most dominating factor cannot be neglected as it degrades device performance reliability. This manuscript, presents detailed investigation to analyze impact (ITCs) on parameters proposed i.e., heterogeneous dielectric dual metal gate step channel TFET (HD DMG SC-TFET). The comparative study conducted with TEFT (DMG shows i...

members of the third generation of a late-onset Pompe disease family which counts 36 individuals. Clinical, laboratory, and GAA enzymatic and genetic studies disclosed widespread myalgias and low back pain as well as mild weakness of the pelvic girdle muscles in 5 individuals (3 females, 2 males; aged 24–30 years), 3 of whom had a slight increase in CPK. Symptom onset was during the second deca...

This paper present the electron charge pumping technique using the various charge pumps circuits for interface trap density and edge leakage reduction that is major concern in GAA short channel nanowire structure. Latched and bootstrap charge pump circuit has been simulated and analyzed for GAA structure. The charge pumping technique requires body contact of FET which has been implemented for G...
