However, a mathematical representation of the experimentally obtained current-voltage characteristic of the memristor is necessary to develop and test memristor-based circuitry in electrical design simulators. Here we have developed a behavioral model for the I-V trace of a Pt/TiO2/Pt memristor that can relate the fitting equations with the physical processes associated with the device in response to applied electrical excitation. Multiple conduction mechanisms are involved in memristor that depend upon its latest state. Therefore, the I-V has distinct segments that altogether form a hysteresis loop pinched at the center. In accordance with the predominant conduction mechanisms at each segment, our model defines the form of the equations. The behavioral model can adequately represent the experimental I-V retrieved from existing work.","PeriodicalId":35778,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47815954","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}

Conventional UTC-PD refers to P-I-N type photodiodes which selectively use electrons as active carriers. Photons absorbed in the relatively thin P-type absorber create minority carriers which are field accelerated toward a depleted collector thereby establishing high velocity ballistic transport, making these structures applicable for high speed applications. The M-UTC-PD structure presented uses spatially tailored P-type absorber regions to limit minority carrier generation both in the lateral and axial dimensions. Utilizing an otherwise conventional UTC-PD epitaxial structure where the top P-type layers are undoped, the spatially tailored P-type regions are defined by closed ampoule Zinc diffusion techniques. The M-UTC-PD structure presented utilizes a series of nested p-doped rings within a mesa structure to limit dark current and reduce overall capacitance to improve high speed operation. Two photodiode structures will be investigated for this research project, a conventional UTC-PD structure and a modified structure, utilizing similar device designs, epitaxial designs and fabrication processes. The conventional structure will be utilized for fabrication process development, verification of epi quality and development of rapid prototyping approach toward chip-based testing and subsequent high speed RF testing procedures. Conventional UTC-PD device results will be used as a comparison to quantify the performance of the M-UTC-PD structure utilizing Zn-doped defined p-type absorber regions. Results are given for chip tests of UTC-PD chips verifying epitaxial quality and fabrication process, subsequent testing of packaged devices and RF analysis remains. Process development of the Zn-doped devices is underway, once completed, these devices will be compared to the base design to quantify performance enhancement associated with the modified design.","PeriodicalId":35778,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48860902","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}

RC systems generate diverse reservoir states by extracting features from raw input and projecting them into a high-dimensional space. One key advantage of RC networks is that only the readout layer needs training, reducing overall training expenses. Memristors have gained popularity due to their similarities to biological synapses and compatibility with hardware implementation using various devices and systems. Chaotic events, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, undergo drastic changes with minor adjustments. Cascade chaotic maps, in particular, possess greater chaotic properties, making them difficult to predict with memoryless devices. This study aims to predict 1D and 2D cascade chaotic time series using a memristor-based hierarchical RC system.","PeriodicalId":35778,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49146541","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}

VOCs directly impact the quality of both indoor and outdoor air and play a significant role in processes such as fruit ripening and the body’s metabolism. VOC monitoring has seen significant growth recently, with an emphasis on developing low-cost, portable sensors capable of both vapor discrimination and concentration measurements. VOC sensing remains challenging, mainly because these compounds are nonreactive, appear in low concentrations and share similar chemical structures that results in poor sensor selectivity. Therefore, individual gas sensors struggle to selectively detect target VOCs in the presence of interferences. Electronic noses overcome these limitations by employing machine learning for pattern recognition from arrays of gas sensors. Here, an electronic nose fabricated with four types of functionalized gold nanoparticles demonstrates rapid detection and quantification of eight types of VOCs at four concentration levels. A robust two-step machine learning pipeline is implemented for classification followed by regression analysis for concentration prediction. Random Forest and support vector machine classifiers show excellent results of 100% accuracy for VOC discrimination, independent of measured concentration levels. Each Random Forest regression analysis exhibits high R2 and low RMSE with an average of 0.999 and 0.002, respectively. These results demonstrate the ability of gold nanoparticle gas sensor arrays for rapid detection and quantification.","PeriodicalId":35778,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49537991","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}
