In nMuGFETs the characteristics are always degraded due to the increase of the back conduction and for pMuGFETs, the devices have their subthreshold region characteristics improved by the decrease of back conduction. Lower dose rates of X-Ray radiation are shown to be more effective for the trapping of charges and the formation of interface traps than the use of higher doses rates.","PeriodicalId":244987,"journal":{"name":"2014 29th Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129867526","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}

One hundred and twenty five different gas mixtures were prepared from the combination of H<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub> and CO using nitrogen as carrier gas. The samples were evaluated under two different methods for sensor recovery: forced and natural. Based on the results, it was established that the cross sensitivities of the CO and CH<sub>4</sub> sensors are too high while the H<sub>2</sub> sensor presents selectivity of almost 100%. Also, the natural recovery method showed improved results because of the better thermal stability of the system.

Intensive research has been focused on investigating new sensing materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) because of their promising characteristics, but there are challenges related to their application in commercial devices such as sensitivity, compatibility, and complexity of miniaturization, among others. We report the study of the electrical behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) material deposited between interdigitated electrode structures by means of dielectrophoresis (DEP), which is a simple and cost-effective method. The devices were fabricated by varying the DEP process time. Remarkable changes in their electric resistance in the presence of water vapor were noticed as a function of MWCNT quantities deposited. These results indicate that the charge exchange mechanisms on the CNT surface play an important role in the material resistivity.","PeriodicalId":244987,"journal":{"name":"2014 29th Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115208857","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 optical emission from GaAs contact layers shows evidence of highly spin-polarized two-dimensional electron and hole gases which affect the spin-polarization of carriers in the well. The quantum well photoluminescence shows strong circular polarization degrees with values up to 85% under 15T at the donor assisted resonant tunneling peak voltage.

The optimized topology was modeled using Finite Element Method in order to verify the behavior of the designed geometry. The structure was fabricated using simple, low-cost process based on a flip-chip technology. The structure was fabricated using electroplated nickel, in order to increase the displacement of the tip of the microgripper.
