In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...

The present study is aimed at studying the energy and environmental performance various engine loads (BMEP) with identical start of injection (SOI) for all fuel types. combustion parameters mixtures were analyzed using AVL BOOST software (BURN subroutine). Five different blends tested, consisting completely renewable raw materials based on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fatty acid methyl este...

The combination of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates with ultrathin Si and insulator layers opens new opportunities for quantum effect and hot-electron devices. Unlike their III–V predecessors, these devices have the crucial advantage of potential integrability with dominant silicon technology. We discuss three examples of such SOI devices: a three-terminal real-space transfer transistor wi...

With an aim of ultra-low power operation, membranetype distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers consisting of wirelike active regions are realized with an InP-based high index-contrast waveguide by using benzocyclobutene (BCB) as well as direct boding on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. Lateral current injection (LCI) type lasers on a semi-insulating (SI) InP substrate are also presented. Keywo...

In this research, a multi-input multi-output artificial neural network (MIMO-ANN) is developed, in which 14 features associated with the engine performance and stability, emissions, combustion ignition characteristics of diesel-biodiesel-gasoline mixtures are meant to be modelled by diverse combination engine/combustion parameters. The selected targets comprise brake specific fuel consumption (...

A detailed chemistry-based CFD model was developed to simulate the diesel spray combustion and emission process. A reaction mechanism of n-heptane is coupled with a reduced NOx mechanism to simulate diesel fuel oxidation and NOx formation. The soot emission process is simulated by a phenomenological soot model that uses a competing formation and oxidation rate formulation. The model is applied ...

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS offers a 20–35% performance gain over bulk CMOS. High-performance microprocessors using SOI CMOS have been commercially available since 1998. As the technology moves to the 0.13m generation, SOI is being used by more companies, and its application is spreading to lower-end microprocessors and SRAMs. In this paper, after giving a short history of SOI in IBM, we de...
