An analytical model is developed for both upstate and downstate of switch by including parasitic and fringing field capacitance in parallel plate capacitance model. The proposed analytical model includes the ligament efficiency term directly in the formula which reduce the efforts to calculate it individually for various perforation sizes. The capacitance analysis has been carried out by varying the physical parameters to optimize the switch dimensions and these analytical results are compared with the simulation results carried out by 3D FEM tool COMSOL multiphysics for validation. The proposed analytical model results are then compared with benchmark models to understand the efficiency of proposed model in estimating the up and downstate capacitances. The proposed analytical model proved to be good with less error percentage of 2.13% at upstate and 2.59% at downstate whereas the other benchmark models gives greater than 5% error. The switch is then fabricated using 4-mask surface micromachining process and experimental evaluation of capacitance at both upstate and downstate is carried out by DC probe station. Experimentally, the upstate capacitance is obtained as 37.4 fF and downstate as 2.43 pF and the analytical models exhibited low error percentage of 3.95% at upstate and 2.05% at downstate condition for µ = 0.5.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"4 ","pages":"81-94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8782713/10007543/09999329.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3515039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, state-of-the-art QCA circuit designs were not derived by following a set of universal design rules, as is the case of CMOS circuits, and, as a result, it is either impossible or very difficult to combine QCA circuit blocks in effective large-scale circuits. In this paper, we introduce a novel automated design methodology, which builds upon a QCA specific universal design rules set. The proposed methodology assumes the availability of a generic QCA crossbar architecture and provides the means to customize it in order to implement any given logic function. The programming principles and the flow of the proposed automated design tool for crossbar QCA circuits are described analytically and we apply the proposed automated design method for the design of both combinatorial and sequential circuits. The obtained designs demonstrate that the proposed method is functional, easy to use, and provides the desired QCA circuit design unification.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"4 ","pages":"162-171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=9968311","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62888904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increased the ON state performance of device i.e ON drive current, potential and electric field. The increase in tunneling of electrons is mainly due to high recombination of carriers in the channel region.

The rise of global challenges in material availability, fabrication in three dimensions (3D), design flexibility and rapid prototyping have pushed additive manufacturing (AM) into the spotlight. Addressing the miniaturization trend, AM has already successfully answered the challenges for microscale 3D fabrication. However, fabricating nano-resolution still presents a challenge. In this review, we will present some of the most reported AM-based technologies capable of nanoscale 3D fabrication addressing resolutions of ≤ 500 nm. The focus is placed on Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing (also known as e-jet printing), as EHD printing seems to have the best trade-off when it comes to technique complexity, achievable resolutions, material diversity and potential to scale-up throughput. An overview of the smallest achieved resolutions as well as the most unique use cases and demonstrated applications will be addressed in this work.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"3 ","pages":"191-198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=9961888","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62889145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
