This paper demonstrates the acoustic resonance of an Independent-Gate (IG) FinFET driven with internal dielectric transduction and sensed by piezoresistive modulation of the drain current through the transistor. An acoustic resonance at 37.1 GHz is obtained with a quality factor of 560, corresponding to an f.Q product of 2.1x10. The demonstrated hybrid NEMS-CMOS technology can provide RF CMOS c...

Many of today's experimental electronic devices can successfully operate at frequencies far above 100 GHz. However, at these frequencies, characteristics of the interconnecting medium often become the limiting factor in the overall performance of high-speed circuits, restricting their maximum operating bandwidth. Speed limitations imposed by the interconnects will be even more severe in future ...

We report a theoretical study of time-dependent transport in a ballistic graphene field effect transistor. We develop a model based on Floquet theory describing Dirac electron transmission through a harmonically driven potential barrier. Photon-assisted tunneling results in excitation of quasibound states at the barrier. Under resonance conditions, the excitation of the quasibound states leads ...

Abstract AlN film bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators and filters that operate at frequencies above 5 GHz are required for 5G beyond communication applications. However, the power-handling capability, Q factor, electromechanical coupling in high-frequency BAW will be degraded as a result of significantly reduced thickness volume devices. Higher-order mode with polarity inverted (PI) multilayere...

The operation of wireless battery chargers at multiple switching frequencies may lead to a noticeable suppression conducted and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) the cost decreased efficiency (mainly lower load resistances) increased peak root mean square values currents power components charger. Moreover, reduction in EMI is only moderate (<8.3 dB). Therefore, novel approach based...

Thermoacoustic heat engines provide a practical solution to the problem of heat management in microcircuits where they can be used to pump heat or produce spot cooling of specific circuit elements. There are basically two types of thermoacoustic engines, a prime mover where heat is converted to acoustic energy, and a heat pump or cooler where sound can pump heat up a temperature gradient. Such ...

A short review of modern techniques for broadband microwave measuring complex permittivity and permeability of materials at broadband microwave frequencies has been presented. Classification of type of the measurement methods to extract the complex permittivity and permeability of bulk materials has been done in this paper. Mathematical models of all the above-mentioned measurement types of met...
