However, the 3D-AFM has several disadvantages. First, the physical AFM tip occupies space and may sometimes obstruct the scanning process, creating distorted results, especially for vertical sidewalls. Additionally, the traditional AFM scanning scheme results in sparser data density along steep surfaces. In this work, to alleviate distortion, the AFM probe is allowed to rotate. Moreover, the scanning speed along the fast axis in a scan line has to be adaptive according to terrain variation. Therefore, we aim to develop and implement an intelligent AFM scanning process assisted by the proposed probe rotation decision (PRD) and adaptive speed decision (ASD) modules, enabling the AFM probe to achieve online rotation and variable scan speed. Moreover, methods for online coarse compensation and offline fine compensation are also presented to accurately eliminate tip shifts caused by probe rotation. Finally, some comparison results will be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent scanning process.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"264-276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the framework of complex networks, noise poses significant challenges for functionality and performance. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a well-known type of locally-coupled computing networks, Memristor Cellular Nonlinear Networks (M-CNNs), in the presence of noise at their interconnection weights, introducing the concept of stochastic weights. In particular, we analyze the effect of noise originating from the synaptic memristors by incorporating both deterministic and stochastic components into synaptic weights, investigating how device-to-device variability and noise affect network performance. Based on the well-established theory of CNNs, we are extending the stability criteria to incorporate synaptic memristor non-idealities and we provide a theoretical framework to analyze their effect on system's performance. In this work, we employ the physics-based Jülich Aachen Resistive Switching Tools (JART) model to study Valence Change Memory (VCM) devices as synapses within our theoretical framework. We investigate the impact of device variability and noise, utilizing statistical properties derived from experimental data reported in the literature. We demonstrate the efficacy of noisy M-CNNs in performing the edge detection task, an example of fundamental image processing applications.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"282-292"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144125378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the drain current is seen to decrease sharply at relatively higher gate voltages. The onset of NDR is tunable with device topology. The NDR mechanism in this work is due to the applied gate voltage, not the drain-source voltage, a feature which promises low-voltage application of this effect. The results are based on a self-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo charge-carrier transport model with an electrostatic solver that solves Gauss's law in integral form.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"260-263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143943966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although mechanical excitation is known to degrade the QFA performance and lower the positioning accuracy of the system, the mechanism underlying the dynamic performance deterioration remains obscure. Considering the etching process and assembly deviation, this article theoretically derives a pendulum cross-coupling mechanism and quantifies the transfer process of the structural error in the beams. The physical process of QFA is represented by a motion model, electrostatic and electromagnetic field models, and a signal transmission model. The QFA was analyzed through a digital-twin modeling approach incorporating finite element modeling and numerical analysis. The digital-twin model verified the error-transfer process of the beam structure and vibration experiments confirmed the specific effects of cross coupling. This article quantifies the dynamic accuracy degradation caused by interior errors in the QFA, providing guidance for optimizing the structure and assembly process of QFAs and promoting their environmental adaptability.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 9","pages":"14799-14809"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
