This article comprehensively analyzes the research achievements over the past 40 years of geology, geomorphology, seismic exploration, paleogeography, and oil and gas exploration in the Ordos Basin and Langshan. It recognizes that the northern part of the Ordos Basin experienced a meteorite impact in the Late Cretaceous period. The impact pushed the block northwest ward, subducting after colliding with igneous rocks in the north. This sudden event formed a clear arc-shaped mountain zone in the north and a wedge-shaped trench in front of the mountain. The chaotic layers, prolonged and continuous faults, and numerous thrust layers in the Langshan, a negative anomaly area in the center of the northern Ordos, abnormal orientation of crystalline basement structures in the north of Ordos, Moho uplift, and distribution of meteorite fragments in the northwest of Langshan, all of these geological phenomena support the occurrence of the meteorite impact event, forming the arc-shaped Langshan and the Trench.展开更多

The combi...A novel silicon carbide(SiC) trench metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) with a dual shield gate(DSG) and optimized junction field-effect transistor(JFET) layer(ODSG-TMOS) is proposed. The combination of the DSG and optimized JFET layer not only significantly improves the device’s dynamic performance but also greatly enhances the safe operating area(SOA). Numerical analysis is carried out with Silvaco TCAD to study the performance of the proposed structure. Simulation results show that comparing with the conventional asymmetric trench MOSFET(Con-ATMOS), the specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) is significantly reduced at almost the same avalanche breakdown voltage(BVav). Moreover, the DSG structure brings about much smaller reverse transfer capacitance(Crss) and input capacitance(Ciss), which helps to reduce the gate–drain charge(Qgd) and gate charge(Qg). Therefore, the high frequency figure of merit(HFFOM) of Ron,sp·Qgdand Ron,sp· Qgfor the proposed ODSG-TMOS are improved by 83.5% and 76.4%, respectively.The switching power loss of the proposed ODSG-TMOS is 77.0% lower than that of the Con-ATMOS. In addition, the SOA of the proposed device is also enhanced. The saturation drain current(Id,sat) at a gate voltage(Vgs) of 15 V for the ODSGTMOS is reduced by 17.2% owing to the JFET effect provided by the lower shield gate(SG) at a large drain voltage. With the reduced Id,sat, the short-circuit withstand time is improved by 87.5% compared with the Con-ATMOS. The large-current turn-off capability is also improved, which is important for the widely used inductive load applications.展开更多

The sourceconnected SG region and p-pillar shielding region are introduced to form an effective two-level shielding, which reduces the specific gate–drain charge(Q_(gd,sp)) and the saturation current, thus reducing the switching loss and increasing the short-circuit capability. The thick oxide that surrounds a p-pillar shielding region efficiently protects gate oxide from being damaged by peaked electric field, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage(BV). Additionally, because of the high concentration in the n-type drift region, the electrons diffuse rapidly and the specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) becomes smaller.In the end, comparing with the bottom p~+ shielded trench MOSFET(GP-TMOS), the Baliga figure of merit(BFOM,BV~2/R_(on,sp)) is increased by 169.6%, and the high-frequency figure of merit(HF-FOM, R_(on,sp) × Q_(gd,sp)) is improved by310%, respectively.展开更多

Conformal electrodeposition of gold in sub-micron-width silicon trenches with an aspect ratio greater than 35 over a grating area of several square centimeters is challenging and has not been described in the literature previously. A comparison of pulsed plating and constant current plating led to a gold electroplating protocol that reliably filled trenches for such structures.展开更多

文摘Methane(CH_(4) )and dimethylsulphoniopropionate(DMSP)are major carbon and sulfur sources for bacterioplankton in the ocean.We investigated the characteristics of CH_(4) and DMSP in the southern Yap Trench from sea surface to hadal zone in June 2017.We found that concentrations of CH_(4) varied from 1.5 to 4.5 nmol/L with saturation between 94% and 204% in the euphotic layer.Concentrations of dissolved DMSP(DMSPd)ranged from 0.5 to 3.7 nmol/L with higher values in surface water and decreased with depth.Concentrations of particulate DMSP(DMSPp)varied from 0 to 13.6 nmol/L.Concentrations of total DMSP(DMSPt)ranged 2.0-15.2 nmol/L.Their concentrations decreased slightly and reached consistent levels in 200-3000-m depth due probably to heterotrophic bacterial production in marine aphotic and high-pressure environments.An exception occurred around 4000-m depth where their concentrations increased considerably and then decreased in deeper water.This previously unrecognized phenomenon sheds light on the elevated concentrations of DMSP in the abyssal layer that might be affected by the Lower Circumpolar Deep Water(LCPW).Concentrations of CH_(4) in seawater of the Benthic Boundary Layer of the southern Yap Trench were slightly higher than those in the water column at approximate depth,and concentrations of DMSP in seawater of the Benthic Boundary Layer of the southern Yap Trench were not much higher than those in the water column at the approximate depth,indicating that sediment was a weak source of CH_(4) but was not a source of DMSP for seawater in the study area.This study presented clear correlations between CH_(4) and DMSP from sea surface to sea bottom,proving that DMSP might be a potential substrate for CH_(4) not only in oxic surface seawater but also in deep water.

文摘The composition and concentration of dissolved free amino acid(DFAA)of seawater samples collected in May 2016 from the surface to the hadal zone of the northern region of the Yap Trench were analyzed by pre-column derivatization of o-phthalaldehyde.Results show that the average concentration of DFAA in the study area was 0.47±0.36μmol/L.In different sampling stations,the concentrations of DFAA with water depth showed complex variation patterns.At the sediment-seawater interface,the concentrations of DFAA in the western side of the trench were obviously higher than that in its eastern side.In the study area,there were no significant correlations between the concentrations of DFAA and the environmental parameters such as concentrations of chlorophyll a(Chl a),dissolved oxygen(DO),pH,and dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN),indicating that the concentrations of DFAA in seawater of the trench are affected by many factors,such as photosynthesis,respiration,temperature,pressure,illumination,and circulation.The dominant DFAA are similar in different water layers of sampling stations,including aspartic acid(Asp),glutamic acid(Glu),glycine(Gly),and serine(Ser).The composition of different amino acids,and the relative abundance of acidic,basic,and neutral amino acids might be related to the sources and consumption of various amino acids.Nine pairs of amino acids in the DFAA showed significantly positive relationship by correlation matrix analysis,suggesting that they might share similar biogeochemical processes.The degradation index(DI)of the DFAA in seawater of the Yap Trench could reflect the degradation,source,and freshness of DFAA in the trench to some extents.This is a preliminary study of amino acids from sea surface to hadal zone in the ocean,more works shall be done in different trenches to reveal their biogeochemical characte ristics in extreme marine environme nts.

文摘A new SiC asymmetric cell trench metal–oxide–semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET)with a split gate(SG)and integrated p^(+)-poly Si/SiC heterojunction freewheeling diode(SGHJD-TMOS)is investigated in this article.The SG structure of the SGHJD-TMOS structure can effectively reduce the gate-drain capacitance and reduce the high gateoxide electric field.The integrated p^(+)-poly Si/SiC heterojunction freewheeling diode substantially improves body diode characteristics and reduces switching losses without degrading the static characteristics of the device.Numerical analysis results show that,compared with the conventional asymmetric cell trench MOSFET(CA-TMOS),the high-frequency figure of merit(HF-FOM,R_(on,sp)×Q_(gd,sp))is reduced by 92.5%,and the gate-oxide electric field is reduced by 75%.In addition,the forward conduction voltage drop(V_(F))and gate-drain charge(Q_(gd))are reduced from 2.90 V and 63.5μC/cm^(2) in the CA-TMOS to 1.80 V and 26.1μC/cm^(2) in the SGHJD-TMOS,respectively.Compared with the CA-TMOS,the turn-on loss(E_(on)) and turn-off loss(E_(off)) of the SGHJD-TMOS are reduced by 21.1%and 12.2%,respectively.

文摘A novel silicon carbide(SiC) trench metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) with a dual shield gate(DSG) and optimized junction field-effect transistor(JFET) layer(ODSG-TMOS) is proposed. The combination of the DSG and optimized JFET layer not only significantly improves the device’s dynamic performance but also greatly enhances the safe operating area(SOA). Numerical analysis is carried out with Silvaco TCAD to study the performance of the proposed structure. Simulation results show that comparing with the conventional asymmetric trench MOSFET(Con-ATMOS), the specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) is significantly reduced at almost the same avalanche breakdown voltage(BVav). Moreover, the DSG structure brings about much smaller reverse transfer capacitance(Crss) and input capacitance(Ciss), which helps to reduce the gate–drain charge(Qgd) and gate charge(Qg). Therefore, the high frequency figure of merit(HFFOM) of Ron,sp·Qgdand Ron,sp· Qgfor the proposed ODSG-TMOS are improved by 83.5% and 76.4%, respectively.The switching power loss of the proposed ODSG-TMOS is 77.0% lower than that of the Con-ATMOS. In addition, the SOA of the proposed device is also enhanced. The saturation drain current(Id,sat) at a gate voltage(Vgs) of 15 V for the ODSGTMOS is reduced by 17.2% owing to the JFET effect provided by the lower shield gate(SG) at a large drain voltage. With the reduced Id,sat, the short-circuit withstand time is improved by 87.5% compared with the Con-ATMOS. The large-current turn-off capability is also improved, which is important for the widely used inductive load applications.

文摘A split-gate SiC trench gate MOSFET with stepped thick oxide, source-connected split-gate(SG), and p-type pillar(ppillar) surrounded thick oxide shielding region(GSDP-TMOS) is investigated by Silvaco TCAD simulations. The sourceconnected SG region and p-pillar shielding region are introduced to form an effective two-level shielding, which reduces the specific gate–drain charge(Q_(gd,sp)) and the saturation current, thus reducing the switching loss and increasing the short-circuit capability. The thick oxide that surrounds a p-pillar shielding region efficiently protects gate oxide from being damaged by peaked electric field, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage(BV). Additionally, because of the high concentration in the n-type drift region, the electrons diffuse rapidly and the specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) becomes smaller.In the end, comparing with the bottom p~+ shielded trench MOSFET(GP-TMOS), the Baliga figure of merit(BFOM,BV~2/R_(on,sp)) is increased by 169.6%, and the high-frequency figure of merit(HF-FOM, R_(on,sp) × Q_(gd,sp)) is improved by310%, respectively.

文摘We propose a novel high performance carrier stored trench bipolar transistor(CSTBT)with dual shielding structure(DSS-CSTBT).The proposed DSS-CSTBT features a double trench structure with different trench profiles in the surface,in which a shallow gate trench is shielded by a deep emitter trench and a thick oxide layer under it.Compared with the conventional CSTBT(con-CSTBT),the proposed DSS-CSTBT not only alleviates the negative impact of the shallow gate trench and highly doped CS layer on the breakdown voltage(BV),but also well reduces the gate-collector capacitance CGC,gate charge Q_(G),and turn-off loss E_(OFF)of the device.Furthermore,lower turn-on loss E_(ON)and gate drive loss E_(DR)are also obtained.Simulation results show that with the same CS layer doping concentration N_(CS)=1.5×10^(16)cm^(-3),the BV increases from 1312 V of the con-CSTBT to 1423 V of the proposed DSS-CSTBT with oxide layer thickness under gate(T_(og2))of 1μm.Moreover,compared with the con-CSTBT,the C_(GC)at V_(CE)of 25 V and miller plateau charge(Q_(GC))for the proposed DSS-CSTBT with T_(og2)of 1μm are reduced by 79.4%and 74.3%,respectively.With the VGEincreases from 0 V to 15 V,the total QGfor the proposed DSS-CSTBT with T_(og2)of 1μm is reduced by 49.5%.As a result,at the same on-state voltage drop(V_(CEON))of 1.55 V,the E_(ON)and E_(OFF)are reduced from 20.3 mJ/cm^(2)and 19.3 mJ/cm^(2)for the con-CSTBT to8.2 mJ/cm^(2)and 9.7 mJ/cm^(2)for the proposed DSS-CSTBT with T_(og2)of 1μm,respectively.The proposed DSS-CSTBT not only significantly improves the trade-off relationship between the V_(CEON)and E_(OFF)but also greatly reduces the E_(ON).

文摘An isolation trench is a simple and effective method to isolate structural vibrations originating from sources of vibration other than earthquakes(machines,traffic,explosions,etc.);however,there is still not a conclusive depth of the isolation trench for frame structures.To investigate the isolation effect of a trench in the frame structure designed for ground vibration,both a field test and finite element analysis were conducted to analyze the reduced effect of the vibration.The vibration reduction analysis was based on the dynamic equation and wave theory.Considering the vibration control of an industrial plant frame,a soil-trench-building finite element model was built to analyze the vibration characteristics of the floor before and after the open isolation trench structure was used.According to the model,a dynamic test was carried out on the frame structure to assess the effect of the vibration reduction by introducing the trench.The results showed that the depth of the trench was the dominating factor in vibration isolation.When the depth of the trench reached 1~1.3 times the wavelength of the Rayleigh wave,the damping effect was the strongest.the width of the trench has little effect on the vibration isolation efficiency,and the trench must be maintained at a certain distance from the building to ensure the vibration damping efficiency.The vibration of each floor was obviously reduced after the trench was built.The vibration damping effect of the trench was significant.
文摘Filling high-aspect-ratio trenches with gold is a frequent requirement in the fabrication of X-ray optics as well as micro-electronic components and other fabrication processes. Conformal electrodeposition of gold in sub-micron-width silicon trenches with an aspect ratio greater than 35 over a grating area of several square centimeters is challenging and has not been described in the literature previously. A comparison of pulsed plating and constant current plating led to a gold electroplating protocol that reliably filled trenches for such structures.
文摘A novel technique to fabricate ultra deep high aspect ratio electrical isolation trenches with DRIE and dielectric refill is presented.The relationship between trench profile and DRIE parameters is discussed.By optimizing DRIE parameters and RIE etching the trenches’ opening,the ideal trench profile is obtained to ensure that the trenches are fully refilled without voids.The electrical isolation trenches are 5μm wide and 92μm deep with 0.5μm thick oxide layers on the sidewall as isolation material.The measured I-V result shows that the trench structure has good electrical isolation performance:the average resistance in the range of 0~100V is more than 10 11Ω and no breakdown appears under 100V.This isolation trench structure has been used in fabrication of the bulk integrated micromachined gyroscope,which shows high performance.
