Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been promoted in recent years as an alternative technology in improving asset management in a library. The RFID tags were applied to replace bar code and magnetic stripe functions as identification and anti-theft detection. This paper is written based on an actual implementation of RFID tagging system in a library one of local university in Malaysia. It focuses on three main challenges during the implementation which relates to system integration, parallel operation with existing system, and procedure changes. In conclusion, implementing RFID tag in a library faced many challenges; however the library could harness the technology advantages in improving its operation.","PeriodicalId":136703,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133820248","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}

Using deterministic testing technique, huge amount of memory space and lengthy testing time are required to generate and store large number of test patterns. On the other hand, pseudo-random technique reduces the number of test patterns but cannot achieve complete fault coverage. Hence primitive polynomial linear feedback shift register (LFSR) based pseudo-random and deterministic techniques have recently been proposed to be used simultaneously. This has been referred to as the mixed-mode approach.

The proposed structure is unique that the collector area is divided by SiO2 regions, whereas in existing IGBTs, the collector has a planar P+ structure. The process and device simulation results show remarkably improved on-state and switching characteristics. The current and electric field distributions indicate that the segmented collector structure increases the electric field near the SiO2 edge which leads to an increase in electron current and finally a decrease in on-state voltage drop to 30% ~ 40%. Also, since the area of the P+ region decreases compared to existing structures, the hole injection decreases which leads to an improved switching speed to 30%.","PeriodicalId":136703,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121384592","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}
