The concept of a strained QW in the design of the active layer of the laser diode is reviewed. A model of 980-nm strained multiple quantum-well (MQW) with InGaAs/GaAs active medium has been simulated. The simulation results include the comparison of optical gain between the transverse electric (TE) mode and transverse magnetic (TM) mode using carrier concentration as a parameter, the role of strain in QW and the field distribution across the direction of the epitaxial growth of heterostructure. Within the spectral range of 1.20-1.40 eV (wavelength 886-1034 nm), the results are reasonable and consistent with the basic principles employed in the optical properties of quantum well lasers.","PeriodicalId":211819,"journal":{"name":"ICONIP '02.

Gas mixtures containing different helium to silane flow-rate ratios have been used to produce these films. The films have been analysed using optical transmission spectroscopy, infrared transmission spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction results clearly indicate the presence of two phases in the material: microcrystalline and amorphous phase when the helium to silane flow-rate ratio was between two and four. However, further helium dilution resulted in a purely amorphous film structure as in films produced from the discharge of pure silane. The optical properties, hydrogen content and microstructure parameter of the films were obtained from the optical and infrared transmission spectra of these films. The effects of the appearance of the microcrystalline phase on these properties were also investigated.","PeriodicalId":211819,"journal":{"name":"ICONIP '02.

To completely remove the polysilicon layer on the large capacitor structure and obtain better Wright etch results, a new polysilicon etchant, HB91, has been introduced into the new procedures of 155 Wright etch. HB91 is actually a mixture solution of two chemical namely nitric acid (HNO/sub 3/) and buffer oxide etchant (BOE) in a 9:1 ration. Using it, the polysilicon layer on the large capacitor structure can be easily removed in 8-10 secs. It has been applied in failure analysis of the QBD failure in the 0.8 /spl mu/m EEPROM process in wafer fabrication. The application results showed that this new Wright etch method is more effective on checking stacking faults or silicon crystalline defects especially for those devices with large capacitor structure.","PeriodicalId":211819,"journal":{"name":"ICONIP '02.

Piezoelectric materials (PZT 5A) are used as the cantilever beams for the acoustic microsensor. These cantilever beams have different lengths to sense sound signals at the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. When the sound signals are applied to the acoustic microsensor, the beams will vibrate at their respective resonant frequencies to produce the electrical potentials. The electrostatic computations are coupled with the structural mechanical computation via a piezo-electrical relationship. Eigen frequency solver is used to find the natural frequencies of the cantilever beams.","PeriodicalId":211819,"journal":{"name":"ICONIP '02.

The new ADC performance was evaluated in a simulation UTRA-TDD environment because of the large near far problem caused by adjacent channel interference from adjacent mobiles and base stations. Results show that the reconfigurable architecture (ADC) can save up to of 75% power dissipation when compared to a fixed word length ADC of 16 bits.

The attempt to use a general-purpose operating system (Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation) is because there is abundance of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf Components (COTS), easily available tools (compilers, and 3 party tools) and need not to learn another operating system behavior. The most important factor is there is no single dominant operating system or tools vendor for real-time operating system. Since the no single dominant real-time operating system development under real-time operating system is riskier and more costly. Ideally codes must be portable between different operating system where it is apparent with Windows platforms, Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP or even Windows CE. Firstly study was done on how Microsoft Windows NT operating system works internally from materials from Microsoft Software Development Network (MSDN). Secondly study was done how to take advantage of the operating system to create a real time application. Microsoft Windows NT is a general purpose operating system that does not support real time application development, but it has all the vital elements that a real time operating system needs. The vital elements are priority-driven, preemptive scheduler, preemptive interrupt handler (for critical interrupts), deferred procedure calls (DPC) for non-critical (DPC executes after ISR), synchronization and deterministic response time. With these vital elements and some modification to application codes to enable it to execute in higher priority level, would result a real time application. This does not mean changing all the codes to higher priority is the solution, as it would cause system to malfunction as other device driver or low-level interface run at high priority too and this would lock up the system. With the combination of priority level, synchronization a complete real time solution can be implemented and this paper covers the concept. This concept also explains what was done to overcome the need of special hardware (as recommended) to accomplish hard real-time application with the response of 0.5 milliseconds.","PeriodicalId":211819,"journal":{"name":"ICONIP '02.

Compared to a CMOS process, the EEPROM process has extra requirements which are high voltage transistors (>16 V), EEPROM cells, ONO layers, the buried N+ layer, thin tunnel oxide and stacked poly gates. EEPROM devices are judged on the programming speed, which relates to program high (erase) and program low (write) operations. It is essential that the program high and program low speed of the EEPROM cell is within 1 ms with a programming voltage of not more than 16 V. Two experiments were setup to improve the programming speed. The first experiment was to increase the high voltage NMOS drain junction breakdown voltage with the source floating (HVNMOS BVDSF), and the second experiment was to scale down the ONO layer. The characterization work to increase the programming speed of the memory cells of a 16 k FLOTOX EEPROM device has been carried out. P-field implant dose is optimized to have both the HVNMOS BVDSF and the p-field threshold above 16 V for fast programming. A program high threshold voltage (V/sub tH/) of 4.5 V and a program low threshold voltage (V/sub tL/) of -0.94 V are achieved.","PeriodicalId":211819,"journal":{"name":"ICONIP '02.
