The congestion prediction in the global routing, which can cost huge time, is one of the most important and challenging problems. In this paper, we propose a density and pins peaks-based fast neural network algorithm (NNA) to predict congestion map. In order to save runtime, traditional prediction methods are replaced by a machine learning method with local density and pins as features. Furthermore, to improve the performance of proposed method, the predictive identification method to specify order of the rip-up and reroute for congested regions is also proposed. Compared with state-of-the-art router, NTHU-Route 2.0, on ISPD08 benchmarks, our method greatly improves the speed of predicting routing congestion information by 1094% in test cases, and saves runtime of the global router.","PeriodicalId":183887,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124305592","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 performances of the OTFTs show dependence on both gate electron concentration and pentacene thickness. Electrons in the gate electrode can reduce the effect from surface optical phonons of the high-k gate dielectric (NdTaON), and so higher gate electron concentration gives better device performance. It is also supported by measurements at 140°C, where the remote phonon scattering is enhanced. Moreover, it is found that the extracted carrier mobility decreases with increasing pentacene thickness, which is attributed to the series resistance of the source/drain electrodes.","PeriodicalId":183887,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124281955","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 geometry of this novel electronic-optical modulator consists of two layers of graphene mixed with boron nitride and a layer of silicon waveguide. This new structure is quite different from the traditional modulator structure (traditional silicon based electro-absorption light modulator). Due to the tunability of the refractive index of graphene, when different voltage is applied to the heterojunction composed of graphene and boron nitride, the depth modulation of incident light at 1550nm wavelength can be achieved. Two different situations are chosen for analysis and calculation. The results show that by changing the magnitude of the voltage on the heterojunction, the light can be easily controlled to achieve or do not achieve the total reflection effect, so as to achieve the depth modulation of light. Finally, the new structure we proposed is almost 100% of the depth, which is incomparable to other structures.","PeriodicalId":183887,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117127055","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}
