A ten-bed VPSA process with silica gel adsorbent is firstly designed to pre-separate and capture 74.57% CO_(2) with a CO_(2) purity of 98.35% from UCG syngas(CH_(4)/CO/CO_(2)/H_(2)/N_(2)= 30.77%/6.15%/44.10%/18.46%/0.52%, mole fraction, from Shaar Lake Mine Field,Xinjiang Province, China) with a feed pressure of 3.5 MPa. Subsequently, the Rectisol process is constructed to furtherly remove and capture the residual CO_(2)remained in light product gas from the VPSA process using cryogenic methanol(233.15 K, 100%(mass)) as absorbent. A final purified gas with CO_(2) concentration lower than 3% and a regenerated CO_(2) product with CO_(2) purity higher than 95% were achieved by using the Rectisol process. Comparisons indicate that the energy consumption is deceased from 2.143 MJ·kg^(-1) of the single Rectisol process to 1.008 MJ·kg^(-1) of the integrated VPSA & Rectisol process, which demonstrated that the deployed VPSA was an energy conservation process for CO_(2) capture from UCG syngas. Additionally, the high-value gas(e.g., CH_(4)) loss can be decreased and the effects of key operating parameters on the process performances were detailed.展开更多

文摘Cold-source field-effect transistors(CS-FETs)have been developed to overcome the major challenge of power dissipation in modern integrated circuits.Cold metals suitable for n-type CS-FETs have been proposed as the ideal electrode to filter the high-energy electrons and break the thermal limit on subthreshold swing(SS).In this work,regarding the p-type CS-FETs,we propose TcX_(2) and ReX_(2)(X=S,Se)as the injection source to realize the sub-thermal switching for holes.First-principles calculations unveils the cold-metal characteristics of monolayer TcX_(2) and ReX_(2),possessing a sub-gap below the Fermi level and a decreasing DOS with energy.Quantum device simulations demonstrate that TcX_(2) and ReX_(2) can enable the cold source effects in WSe_(2) p-type FETs,achieving steep SS of 29-38 mV/dec and high on/off ratios of(2.3-5.6)×10^(7).Moreover,multilayer Re S2retains the cold metal characteristic,thus ensuring similar CS-FET performances to that of the monolayer source.This work underlines the significance of cold metals for the design of p-type CS-FETs.
文摘The fundamental advantages of carbon-based graphene material,such as its high tunnelling probability,symmetric band structure(linear dependence of the energy band on the wave direction),low effective mass,and characteristics of its 2D atomic layers,are the main focus of this research work.The impact of channel thickness,gate under-lap,asymmetric source/drain doping method,workfunction of gate contact,and High-K material on Graphene-based Tunnel Field Effect Transistor(TFET)is analyzed with 20 nm technology.Physical modelling and electrical characteristic performance have been simulated using the Atlas device simulator of SILVACO TCAD with user-defined material syntax for the newly included graphene material in comparison to silicon carbide(SiC).The simulation results in significant suppression of ambipolar current to voltage characteristics of TFET and modelled device exhibits a significant improvement in subthreshold swing(0.0159 V/decade),the ratio of Ion/Ioff(1000),and threshold voltage(-0.2 V with highly doped p-type source and 0.2 V with highly doped n-type drain)with power supply of 0.5 V,which make it useful for low power digital applications.
文摘A design of a high-speed multi-core processor with compact size is a trending approach in the Integrated Circuits(ICs)fabrication industries.Because whenever device size comes down into narrow,designers facing many power den-sity issues should be reduced by scaling threshold voltage and supply voltage.Initially,Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS)technology sup-ports power saving up to 32 nm gate length,but further scaling causes short severe channel effects such as threshold voltage swing,mobility degradation,and more leakage power(less than 32)at gate length.Hence,it directly affects the arithmetic logic unit(ALU),which suffers a significant power density of the scaled multi-core architecture.Therefore,it losses reliability features to get overheating and increased temperature.This paper presents a novel power mini-mization technique for active 4-bit ALU operations using Fin Field Effect Tran-sistor(FinFET)at 22 nm technology.Based on this,a diode is directly connected to the load transistor,and it is active only at the saturation region as a function.Thereby,the access transistor can cutoff of the leakage current,and sleep transis-tors control theflow of leakage current corresponding to each instant ALU opera-tion.The combination of transistors(access and sleep)reduces the leakage current from micro to nano-ampere.Further,the power minimization is achieved by con-necting the number of transistors(6T and 10T)of the FinFET structure to ALU with 22 nm technology.For simulation concerns,a Tanner(T-Spice)with 22 nm technology implements the proposed design,which reduces threshold vol-tage swing,supply power,leakage current,gate length delay,etc.As a result,it is quite suitable for the ALU architecture of a high-speed multi-core processor.
