Incorporation of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) as passivation layer has been a common practice for the fabrication of PERC solar cell both in industry and research laboratory. However, the optically unmatched refractive index of Al2O3 does not redirect the transmitted photons (Wavelength ranging 900nm to 1100nm) through ~180µm thick c-Si p-type substrate to the solar cell. Hafnium oxide (HfO2) with optically matched RI exhibits comparable passivation property. If HfO2 can be used instead of Al2O3 increase the possibility of redirecting the transmitted photons to the solar cell again without compromising the passivation property, which may increases the solar cell performance. It has been observed that 93% transmitted photons can be reflected back to the solar cell structure for optimized double dielectric stack.","PeriodicalId":177307,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Devices, Circuits and Systems (ISDCS)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123710482","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}

Two different types of surfaces are considered in the reported experiment (example, rough and smooth surface). Force-sensors, classification unit and external- controller-circuits are applied for surface-recognition and speed-adjustment. For surface-recognition the Euclidean distance is used to calculate the nearest-neighbor reference pattern for the feature of the waking pattern generated online. The mean-absolute-value (MAV) feature vector is used to classify two different surfaces. To distinguish two different surfaces, the hardware accelerated decision-signals are generated across LEDs in the form of analog voltages (maximum peak voltage 212 mV for rough-surface and 147 mV for smooth surfaces respectively with detection time 2.8 s and 1.5 s). The external-controller-circuit is used for speed- adjustment using decision-signal coming from LED. It is observed that, when robot is moving from rough-surfaces to smooth-surfaces, the speed of the robot motion changes from 190 frames/stride (i.e. slow-speed) to 160 frames/stride (i.e. medium-speed) with 4.9 s transition time, whereas from smooth- surface to rough-surface transitions, the transition time takes 4.5 s. The experimentally measurement results of speed- adjustment time after surface transition are useful for fast and stable recognition-system design.","PeriodicalId":177307,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Devices, Circuits and Systems (ISDCS)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116542561","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}

Digital image watermarking can play a key role in this regard. Though several techniques and algorithms exist in literature but color image watermarking techniques with its hardware implementation are few. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new algorithm for watermarking a color cover image using color watermark. The basic technique is to alter the pixel values of the cover image, based on the similarity between cover image and watermark. The amount of alteration can be controlled by a parameter called modulation index, which also decides the quality of cover image as well as that of extracted watermark image. A pseudo-noise code is used for embedding and extraction of the watermark, hence only authorized users having exact pseudo-noise code can extract the watermark. This is an invisible watermarking technique, so it doesn’t affect the appearance of the original image significantly. Furthermore, FPGA as well as ASIC based hardware implementation of the aforesaid algorithm is realized. For real-time application hardware realization is more efficient than software implementation. The proposed algorithm and its VLSI implementation have been compared with stat-of-art research work present in literature. Throughput of the proposed algorithm is high and it can also be used for digital video watermarking.","PeriodicalId":177307,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Devices, Circuits and Systems (ISDCS)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122808406","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}

However, the watermark pixel values can be recovered using a unique decoding mechanism, which has been included in the paper.

While, throughout this paper, we produced a new DLTFET based charge plasma tunnel junction. A gallium arsenide (GaAs) pocket is positioned around across source and channel interface of the silicon film, increasing the likelihood of tunneling. Although GaAs energy bandgap seems to be significantly beyond a silicon energy bandgap, it does have fast electron mobility and minimal tunneling mass, contributing to enhanced current drivability at the interface. In contrast, with the standard DLTFET and tunnel junction engineered DLTFET (GaAs-DLTFET) we properly assessed the DC and analog/RF values in specific terms of energy band diagram, electric field, carrier concentrations, transfer characteristics, transconductance, parasitic capacitance, cutoff frequency. The simulation of the conventional DLTFET and proposed device (GaAs-DLTFET) has been performed using the ATLAS device simulator. The proposed device has shown an increased ON-current (~100 μA/μm) and improved subthreshold swing (~10.25 mV/decade). The excellent characteristics are demonstrated by GaAs-DLTFET and linearity parameters are analyzed to give the justification that a device is a worthy option for future high-frequency analog/RF applications with minimal use of operational power.","PeriodicalId":177307,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Devices, Circuits and Systems (ISDCS)","volume":"128 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130022256","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 focus is given on the double-gate MOSFET, which provides a core of the multi-gate MOSFET. It is shown that the short-channel effect is caused by the potential minimum, which occurs at the source side. The modeling is done by considering the potential distribution along the channel through the source/drain-channel contributions explicitly. It has been verified that the model can reproduce the short-channel effect of 2D numerical simulation results with one model parameter describing the junction profile. The presented model is validated for several technologies considering channel doping, silicon and oxide thickness. Furthermore, an extension of this model is implemented considering the influence of the drain doping, namely for Low Drain doping MOSFET (LDMOS). Low drain doping effects are precisely included in the resistance effect as well as the short-channel effects, demonstrating a suppression of short-channel effects in LDMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":177307,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Devices, Circuits and Systems (ISDCS)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115545578","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}
