In design of a parallel resonant induction heating system, choosing a proper capacitancefor the resonant circuit is quite important. The capacitance affects the resonant frequency, outputpower, Q-factor, heating efficiency and power factor. In this paper, the role of equivalent seriesresistance (ESR) in the choice of capacitance is significantly recognized. Optimal value of resonancecapacitor i...

In this paper we look at the quantitative picture of fringing field efSects by use of high-k dielectrics on the 70 nm node CMOS technologies. By using Monte-Carlo based techniques, we extract the degradation in gate-to-channel capacitance and the internal, external fringing capacitance components for varying values of K. Our results clearly show the decrease in external fringing capacitance, in...

A high-speed capacitance difference-to-sum ratio measurement circuit is presented for differential capacitance transducers. It consists of a switched-capacitor input stage, two sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits followed by voltage-to-current (V/I) converters, and a current-ratio-controlled relaxation oscillator. This circuit offers a square-wave output whose oscillation period is directly proporti...

Numerical simulations are used to guide the development of a simple analytical theory for ballistic field-effect transistors. When two-dimensional (2-D) electrostatic effects are small (and when the insulator capacitance is much less than the semiconductor (quantum) capacitance), the model reduces to Natori’s theory of the ballistic MOSFET. The model also treats 2-D electrostatics and the quant...

The experimental characterization of gate capacitance in nanoscale devices is challenging. We report an application of the charge-based capacitance measurement (CBCM) technique to measure the gate capacitance of a single-channel nanowire transistor. The measurement results are validated by 3-D electrostatic computations for parasitic estimation and 2-D self-consistent sp3s∗d tight-binding compu...

The capacitance matrix relates potentials and charges on a system of conductors. We review rigorously generalize its properties, block-diagonal structure inequalities, deduced from the geometry conductors analytic properties permittivity tensor. Furthermore, we discuss alternative choices regularization matrix, which allow us to find charge exchanged between having been brought an equal potenti...
