The suggested method enhances the existing method capabilities by introducing measurement injection modes. When DUT is under the measurement mode, the charge injection into the gate dielectric is realized under constant current density <i>J</i><sub>m</sub> at which any significant charge degradation of dielectric is not observed. Introduction of the measurement modes give an opportunity to monitor a change of the charge state of thin gate dielectric during all the test. The suggested test is started similar to Bounded J-Ramp method and then in order to raise the monitoring speed, the value of bounded current <i>J</i><sub>b</sub> could be step wisely increased over certain time intervals which are much longer in time in comparison with J-Ramp method. As a result, the charge injection into the gate dielectric could be implemented under multiple <i>J</i><sub>b</sub> values. This test algorithm gives an opportunity to greatly enhance functional capabilities of the existing test methods and the suggested technique raises speed to test.</p>","PeriodicalId":21534,"journal":{"name":"Russian Microelectronics","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140885352","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}

Simulation modeling allows us to configure the network at the level of a mathematical model, and subsequently use the obtained parameters directly in the process of operation. The network model is given as a dynamic system, which can consist of tens or hundreds of thousands of ordinary differential equations. Naturally, there is a need for an efficient and parallel implementation of an appropriate simulation model. Open multiprocessing (OpenMP) is used as the technology for parallelizing calculations, since it allows us to easily create multithreaded applications in various programming languages. The efficiency of parallelization is evaluated on the problem of modeling the process of training the network to recognize a set of five images of a size of 128 by 128 pixels, which leads to the solution of about 80 000 differential equations. In this problem, the calculations are accelerated by a factor of over six. According to the experimental data, the operating character of memristors is stochastic, as shown by the scatter in the current-voltage characteristics (VACs) when switching between high-resistance and low-resistance states. To take this feature into account, a memristor model with interval parameters is used, which gives upper and lower limits on the values of interest, and encloses the experimental curves in corridors. When simulating the operation of the entire analog self-learning impulse neural network, in each epoch of training, the parameters of the memristors are set randomly from the selected intervals. This approach makes it possible to dispense with the use of a stochastic mathematical apparatus, thereby further reducing computational costs.</p>","PeriodicalId":21534,"journal":{"name":"Russian Microelectronics","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140032728","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 use of composite polymer dielectrics with increased conductivity is a promising method for protecting against the effects of electrostatic discharges. This paper presents the results of modeling the characteristics of a broadband amplifier made on a printed circuit board using a highly conductive composite dielectric. Resistances are added to the model of the ongoing electrical processes that characterize current leakage from the circuit nodes to the zero conductor due to the decrease in the specific volume resistance of the printed circuit board’s material. A computer simulation of a broadband amplifier and an experimental study of its performance in the operating frequency band of 0.5–70 MHz are carried out. It is shown that a change in the bandwidth and gain occurs only when the conductivity becomes higher than 6 × 10<sup>–4</sup> Ohm<sup>–1</sup> m<sup>–1</sup>. The results of an experimental study of a broadband amplifier show that the proposed model for accounting for the specific volume resistance of the printed circuit board material adequately describes its characteristics. The fact that even with a conductivity of 10<sup>–9</sup> Ohm<sup>–1</sup> m<sup>–1</sup> electrostatic discharges are excluded indicates the possibility of protecting broadband amplifiers as part of the radio-electronic devices of spacecraft from electrification when using composite dielectrics of increased conductivity.</p>","PeriodicalId":21534,"journal":{"name":"Russian Microelectronics","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139770907","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}
