In the ballistic limit Id has been found to be dominated by effective mass and insulator dielectric constant rather than bandgap. Hence, GaAs channel TFET has identified as higher current device than Si counterpart due to lower effective mass. However, off state leakage current has shown comparatively more temperature dependence than on current in GaAs TFET. Besides, transconductance has found to be positively dependent on temperature for this device.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115688317","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}

Chip manufacturers may therefore incorrectly identify the thin-film deposition step as the defect creation step and allocate resources incorrectly. The effect of thin film deposition on pre-existing poly-styrene latex (PSL) spheres on the wafer surface was studied. Results show that both the physical size and scattering cross section of the spheres increased after thin film deposition. For a film thickness of 128 nm, the increase in size of the PSL spheres was found to be about 60–80 nm depending on original particle size. Experimental results are in good agreement with feature scale simulations. Shadowing at the interface of large PSL spheres and the wafer surface was predicted by simulations and confirmed by experimental observations.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125350196","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}

Our study confirms that the presence of single channel charges modifies the electrostatics (carrier density) and dynamics (carrier mobility) of the device, both of which play important roles in determining the magnitude of the current fluctuations. The relative impact (percentage change in the ON-current) depends on an intricate interplay of device size, geometry, channel (crystal) orientation, gate bias, and energetics and spatial location of the charge.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115537077","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}

An issue of IOP measurement is that we are obliged to evaluate it under that the equivalent pressure coming from cornea stiffness is unknown. Therefore, the IOP measurement depends upon the structural stiffness of cornea. The goal of this work is to examine how the structural stiffness of cornea changes with respect to age by focusing on cornea curvature. Our experimental results show that the structural stiffness becomes more compliant especially in elderly people than that in young people, and as a result the current IOP measurement is a high risk of underestimation especially for elderly people.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129645276","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}

Considering the technology difference between the usual 0.1 µm CMOS and Nano scale transistors it is mandatory to fabricate the whole IC with Nano technology circuits. The need for a current source in almost all of the integrated circuits and the common usage of current mirror creates the necessity to design one with Nano technology. Therefore what we have presented in this paper is the design of a current mirror circuit, which uses Nano transistors instead of the usual CMOS transistors. There are two main types of Nano transistors at present, Nano wire transistors and carbon Nano tube transistors; Nano wire transistors will provide a higher output current than carbon Nano tube transistors and better output impedance; which is why we have chosen Nano wire transistors (NWT) for our purposes. The current mirror we used here is an accurate current mirror source suitable for mixed signal IC applications for its stability and high output impedance.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130286895","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 vision is that such arrays can be easily commanded in nano seconds to realize magnetic field profiles in order to steer magnetized material in the proximity of the platform. Moreover, as technology features decrease, the size of the electromagnetic coil cells in the array would also decrease to nano scale, sharpening the sensing and manipulation resolution of the platforms.","PeriodicalId":423557,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117210976","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}

Using these two assumptions, the 3-D potential distribution model is developed.
