A major problem that often arises in a simulation of the acoustic wave devices is the out-of-plane displacements of the widely used Euler angles. Our approach is based on the plane wave solution where the properties of the acoustic wave vary in three dimensions and therefore are distinguished by their propagation direction, such as transverse longitudinal, transverse horizontal and transverse vertical, respectively. In this study, a new approach is developed to accurately demonstrate a Love wave platform performed with a Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation using Comsol Multiphysics®. The plane wave solution, therefore, allows the visualization of the simulation results by using data treatment such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The results show reasonable agreement between the simulated and the fabricated structure. Indeed, we present that the addition of the graphene oxide sensing layer enhances the acoustic wave propagation and reduces the acoustic wave reflections efficiently. Finally, the configurations of the 3D model are compared with theoretical and experimental frequency data and the results showed very good agreement.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122112614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results demonstrate that the Diamond SOI MOSFETs with α angles equal to 53.1° and 90° are capable of boosting in more than 20% the devices matching in comparison to those observed in the typical rectangular SOI MOSFETs, regarding the same gate area and bias conditions.

The first extension module of RF-MEMS switch adds a high-performance mechanical switch, providing unique features such as low-loss switching at mm-wave frequencies. The TSV module, adds deep vias through the substrate (silicon), provides low-ohmic vias through the front side to back side of the silicon wafer. Using this module, the back side of the silicon chip can be used as the RF-ground. Furthermore, such vias through the substrate enables the 3D integrated packages. The last extension module, microfluidics, adds the micro-channels inside the BiCMOS chip. Such micro-channels are very promising for bio-sensing applications for THz detection.

The field of microelectronics is primarily concerned by this evolution because the connected objects involve the microelectronics industry and related research. In addition, the spectrum of the application domains can be very wide and the multidisciplinary approach appears mandatory. In parallel, the evolution of the microelectronics towards a larger integration implies new designs, and new technologies that must be assimilated by the students. The main challenge, today, is to give to these students and future engineers, the methodology and the know-how that can insure an innovative approach, by changing the educational structures and the behavior of the professorial body, while in the same time, the education systems want to massively introduce numerical tools. As a result, the introduction of new practices and laboratory works becomes increasingly useful, more especially in microelectronics. Indeed, this is a way to give to the students the knowledge and the know-how with an innovative behavior. However, the practice on microelectronic platforms is very expensive and the sharing of this equipment between several institutions is necessary. The French national network, CNFM (National Coordination for Education in Microelectronics and nanotechnologies), which pilots the 12 national platforms, tries to answer to these needs and has set-up a policy deliberately focused on innovative practices on dedicated platforms. Several suggestions are given in order to improve the educational system and create a model which could be duplicated in many other countries.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132665101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
