In particular, this work addresses the implementation of one transistor-one resistor (1T1R) structures for RRAM applications by means of SPICE simulations. Specifically, the dependence of the low-resistive state on the compliance current is investigated. The model is based on the combination of a diode-like device as the switching element and the logistic hysteron formalism for the memory effect. It is shown how the proposed circuit for the 1T1R structure reproduces the main features of the experimental output curves.","PeriodicalId":421205,"journal":{"name":"2017 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129470753","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 system controls, on one hand, the air flow and, on the other hand, adds the capability of humidity control in two different ways: measuring humidity at the input and output, and stabilizing it through a filtering material. This way the performance of conductometric sensors can be enhanced, because one of the main causes of their low specificity is the cross-sensitivity to ambient humidity. The controlled amount of gas arriving at the sensors also avoids possible fluctuations in the sensor signals due to the air flow variations.","PeriodicalId":421205,"journal":{"name":"2017 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129336113","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}

Results show that both phenomena -the hot phonon and self-heating- have significant impact, being the hot phonons particularly dominant at moderate fields and high carrier concentrations. Interplay between both phenomena reveals that taking hot phonons into account damps graphene and substrate self-heating due to a drop of the phonon emission/absorption ratio.","PeriodicalId":421205,"journal":{"name":"2017 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129457249","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 target is to control its temperature at 37 °C ± 0.1 °C, to assure the appropriate temperature conditions around the cells. The Lab on PCB is also able to mix other fluids into the medium, if it is necessary. The integration of a PDMS microfluidic circuit over a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) results in a smart platform with a low-cost fabrication process. The microfluidic platform of the system includes three inlet ports, microchannels, a micromixer and one outlet port. The correct operation of the LOP assures that the medium is within the adequate conditions in the outlet port. The PCB incorporates a NTC thermistor to measure the temperature, and microheaters that are activated if the medium temperature is under 36.9 °C. The microheater fabrication process consists of patterning the copper layer of the PCB. The NTC thermistor is welded into copper pads and embedded in PDMS to avoid the contact with the fluid. The system is designed to allow the mixing and heating of fluids and it is connected to a cell culture Lab on PCB, and to an electronic control module, which include the electronic adapting circuit of the NTC and the control of the microheaters. The results of this study concerning the heating and mixing of fluids and the monitoring of temperature are successful.","PeriodicalId":421205,"journal":{"name":"2017 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128123227","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}
