Since the energy conversion is relalized through Joule-Lenz law, the resistance of SCB plays a very important role in MEMS electrothermal transducer. The doping process has direct influence on the resistance of SCB and requires careful design. Based on target sheet resistance and junction depth of SCB, process parameters of ion implantation and annealing is determined by theoretical analysis. The TCAD for simulation using these parameters results in a difference from the target value of only 6% in sheet resistance and only 13% in junction depth. We also established a model for SCB resistance model, which is a function of the silicon resistivity. SCB samples is also fabricated using these process parameters and the resistivity calculated by the measured resistance is only 8% different from the target value. This work has provided guidance for the SCB design and for determining the process parameters regarding ion implantation and annealing.","PeriodicalId":6787,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 15th International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular System (NEMS)","volume":"54 1","pages":"190-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87035008","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 improved structure not only inherited the stress concentration feature of low strain energy dissipation but also improved the comprehensive ability of the sensor chip, including low fabrication cost, high etching uniformity, good temperature performance and low residual stress in the diaphragm. Also, the fabrication method combining DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) and anisotropic wet etching was verified by the simulation based on the Sentaurus 2013. The fabrication error caused by anisotropic wet etching was analyzed. Compared with the flat film of the same size, the proposed structure can increase the sensitivity by 225%, reduce the nonlinearity by 80.3%, and increase resonance frequency by 11%. In addition, the sensor structure can also be applied to pressure sensors with different working range, which will be helpful to design the pressure sensors with high efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6787,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 15th International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular System (NEMS)","volume":"30 1","pages":"167-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89778265","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 deep networks, each layer represents an abstract feature of input data, and information is propagated in a feedforward or a circular fashion through recurrent connections between layers. Training such deep networks requires a complex algorithm. Deep Reservoir Computing (RC) is an alternative to overcome the training complexity of deep networks. In deep RC, the deep network (or reservoir) remains untrained and training only takes place at an output node with a simple algorithm. So far, deep RC was a software-based approach in which the traditional Echo State Networks (ESNs) serve as computing layers within a deep RC structure. Here, we propose a hardware-based platform for deep RC using memcapacitive networks. Our simulation results demonstrate that deep memcapacitive RC is able to compete with the state-of-the-art deep ESN and requires 3.45× fewer layers to accomplish similar tasks. Our deep memcapacitive RC networks offer a potential platform for building novel neuromorphic hardware.","PeriodicalId":6787,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 15th International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular System (NEMS)","volume":"63 1","pages":"200-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84195768","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}

Interdigitated platinum (Pt) electrodes are deposited on a silicon substrate. A parylene C thin film as hygroscopic layer is coated on the electrodes using room-temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Three sensors with various dimensions (1.2 mm2, 4.8 mm2, and 7.5 mm2) are fabricated to study the size effect of the sensor on the sensitivity. The impedance, phase and capacitive response of the sensor at different frequencies of the operating voltage under various relative humidity (RH) levels are investigated. The overall impedance and capacitance changed from 23.02 to 3.744 MŸ and 64.165 to 194.14 pF respectively at 100 Hz operating frequency for the 4.8 mm2 sensor when RH is increased from 0.1 to 92%. The measured PHS’s sensitivity at the frequencies of 1~100 kHz shows highest (1.428 pF/%RH) at low frequency (100 Hz). The PHS with large sensing area showed higher sensitivity (0.11 ~ 0.53 pF/%RH) compared to medium and small sensors. Moreover, the PHS is tested for 3 days depicting good stability with respect to time.","PeriodicalId":6787,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 15th International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular System (NEMS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"134-138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85692591","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 this paper, the hysteresis, which is related to the input frequency and working condition (such as load), is analyzed. Then a mathematical modeling method using Duhem model (DM) and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy neural network (TSFNN) is introduced to describe the hysteresis behavior. The mathematical expression of the DM is explicit and simple; and the TSFNN, which has the advantages of both fuzzy system and NN structure, is used to identify the DM parameter. Hence, the proposed TSFNN-DM method has the merits of self adjustment and clear expression. To certify the validity of the developed model, comparative experiments with the modeling methods in other literatures are executed. Experimental results confirm that the TSFNN-DM has the better modeling performance to depict the hysteresis under the different input frequencies and loads than other modeling methods in previous studies.","PeriodicalId":6787,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 15th International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular System (NEMS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"77-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89156104","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 idea is to locally disrupt cell membrane for allowing cargo passage into the cytosol such as to create its therapeutic effect. Till to date, most of the intracellular delivery is performed in bulk approaches, which provides an average ensemble data, losing low-frequency rare information. Besides, reliable results require huge data from multiple cells. Hence, to ensure huge data on individual cells it becomes necessary to carry out delivery experiments on a large number of single-cells simultaneously. This ensures the same experimental conditions conserving heterogeneity in the cell population. The collection of data from individual cells provides information about rare low-frequency alleles in the cell population. Massively parallel delivery ensures such uniform experimental conditions with uniform cargo delivery to a large number of individual cells. The proposed device platform is an array of photothermal Micro-dish patterned with fibronectin protein to obtain specific Single-cell attachment.
