To characterize cut-off frequency from its definition, it is important to measure the ac components of drain and gate currents. However, the currents of subthreshold TFTs are very low, making it difficult to measure subthreshold currents, in particular ac currents. This paper introduces a platform to measure cut-off frequency for subthreshold TFTs. The results show that the subthreshold TFTs can possess a decent cutoff frequency of above 100 kHz.","PeriodicalId":289035,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC)","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116663004","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 angular interrogation technique utilizing Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used. Biosensing was performed at optical wavelengths of 633 nm, 670 nm and 785 nm using BK7-based prisms together with chromium/gold/carbon-based derivatives (Cr/Au/CBD) hybrid plasmonic layers. The effects of CBD on the biosensor’s sensitivity and Q-factor were analyzed and compared.

Here we report an anti-freezing, high ionic conductivity polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel electrolyte based on low-concentration Mg(ClO4)2 salt. Physical characterizations and theoretical calculations demonstrated that Mg(ClO4)2 salt can effectively disrupt the original hydrogen-bond network among water molecules by the newly formed hydrogen bonds between solvent H2O molecules and solute ClO4-, thus leading to a superior anti-freezing property. A quasi-solid-state MHSC was assembled using PAAm hydrogel electrolyte containing 4M Mg(ClO4)2 salt, which delivers a great energy density of 59.6 Wh/kg and power density of 3.45 kW/kg at -20 °C.
