The asphaltene solids show hydrogen to carbon ratio of 1.30 indicating that it has high aromatic contents rich with π-π electrons. In thin film form, its optical band gaps are found to be 3.5 eV. In its intrinsic state, the electrical resistivity is measured to be within ~105 ohm-cm. Moreover, the surface morphology of the asphaltene film shows uniformity with root mean square roughness less than 10 nm. These properties suggest that asphaltene thin film that was obtained from COTBS could be used in organic electronics application.","PeriodicalId":325031,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Sensors and Nanotechnology (SENNANO)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121785247","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}

In telecommunication, data transfer is carried out efficiently at certain wavelengths namely 1310 nm and 1550 nm. In order to obtain the appropriate wavelength and high transmission power, the filter device research is continuously developed. In this study, the silicon photonic crystals resonator (PCR)-based filter has optimized the design. The design parameters such as radius (r) and radius of a defect (rr1) were varied with range 0.0715 μm – 0.0745 μm and 0.05 μm – 0. 15 μm, respectively. The simulation with Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD) methods was carried out using Lumerical software. This study resulted in the optimum design of PCR with output wavelength 1550.211 nm with 0.980 of transmission efficiency, with r = 0. 0727 μm and rr1 = 0.08 μm. Furthermore, the 1284.980 of Q-factor also indicates this design can be produced a narrow band filter. Therefore, the proposed designs of silicon PCR-based filter is prime than other design and potential to produce a high-performance filter for telecommunication applications.","PeriodicalId":325031,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Sensors and Nanotechnology (SENNANO)","volume":"429 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132702505","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 pure honey was adulterated by heating process from 30% until 18% water content of adulterated honey. The performance of Cr-Ag-(SU-8) SPR sensor was compared with the Cr-Ag SPR sensor without a protective layer. The resonance angle for these two sensors indicates a similar behavior by shifting to a higher angle than the pure honey. The sensor sensitivity for Cr-Ag and Cr-Ag-(SU-8) is 0.24448°/% which produces a linear regression of more than 96% for honey samples. The resonance angle for Cr-Ag-(SU-8) SPR sensor shows the same values after 24 hours although the reflectance curve is slightly broader. This proved that the SU-8 is capable to protect the Ag surface for repeatable uses.

It is usually part of a safety system that help to alert people in case of any hazardous gas or Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) leakage. VOC such as Acetone if exposed to high levels of inhalation would cause can eye and nasal irritation. The demand of gas sensor is increasing nowadays due safety compliance and environmental policies. However, issues such as rust, corrosion and high temperature operation have become a factor to improve existing gas sensor. Graphene is seen as a material with superior electrical conductivity, high resistance on corrosion and high sensitivity which can improve gas sensing measurement. In this research, a reduce graphene oxide (rGO) based sensor was successfully developed to detect Acetone at room temperature. Once the sensor platform was coated with rGO as the sensing material, the electrical characterization will be conducted. Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) was the first sensor platform used to test the rGO sensing material where the frequency oscillation will be measured upon exposure to different VOC concentration level. Next, rGO sensing material will be coated on Interdigitated Electrode (IDE) based platform where the sensors performance will also be studied. The graphene sensor was very sensitive and was able to detect up till 10 ppm of Acetone. Furthermore, the IDE sensor repeatability result was observed to be consistent up to error value of 0.17.","PeriodicalId":325031,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Sensors and Nanotechnology (SENNANO)","volume":"300 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134454390","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}

Therefore, layout design plays an important role to design the electronic devices in smaller size, lower cost, and higher performance. This is because when the layout size decreases, the number of chips can be produced by one semiconductor wafer increases and the cost of integrated circuits chip decreases. This project implements the techniques to optimize the area comparator layout which are diffusion sharing, legging and flip the sub-cells by using Cadence Virtuoso tools in 45 nanometer process technology.
