To improve the yield of SRAMs per wafer,redundancy logic and an E-FUSE box are added to the SRAM and an SR SRAM is set up. In order to reduce power dissipation,power on/off states and isolation logic are introduced into the SR SRAM and an LPSR SRAM is constructed. The optimized LPSR SRAM64K × 32 is used in SoC and the testing method of the LPSR SRAM64K × 32 is also discussed. The SoC design is successfully implemented in the Chartered 90nm CMOS process. The SoC chip occupies 5. 6mm× 5. 6ram of die area and the power dissipation is 1997mW. The test results indicate that LPSR SRAM64K ×32 obtains 17. 301% power savings and the yield of the LPSR SRAM64K × 32s per wafer is improved by 13. 255%.展开更多

Compared to those untreated films, the turn-on electric field of the treated film decreases from 2.2V/μm to 1.6V/μm, while the total emission current of the treated increases from 0.6mA/cm2 to 3mA/cm2, and uniform emission site density image has also been observed.展开更多

In this study, we hydrothermally synthesized a Fe2O3 photoanode. In addition, d-Fe OOH synthesized via dip-coating and hydrothermally prepared h-FeOOH were used as cocatalysts and their synergistic combinations with cobalt phosphate(Co-Pi) were investigated. The synergy between h-FeOOH and Co-Pi was remarkable, whereas that between d-Fe OOH and Co-Pi was negligible. For example, the onset potentials of the Co-Pi/h-FeOOH and Co-Pi/d-FeOOH dual catalysts, were cathodically shifted by 270 and 170 m V, respectively. Moreover, the photocurrent density of the Co-Pi/h-FeOOH/Fe2O3 anode was significantly higher than that of the Co-Pi/d-FeOOH/Fe2O3 one. The synergistic effect of Co-Pi and h-FeOOH could be attributed to the significantly inhibited recombination of surface charges owing to the formation of a p-n junction between β-FeOOH and Fe2O3 and the large contact area between the granular h-FeOOH and Co-Pi. However, the thin amorphous FeOOH layer of the Co-Pi/d-FeOOH/Fe2O3 anode acted as a hole-transfer medium, and weakly promoted the kinetics of the charge transfer process.展开更多

In this paper, the transient behavior of a prototype centrifugal pump with an open impeller during rapid startup period is studied experimentally. The variations of the rotational speed, flow rate, head, and shaft power during rapid startup period are recorded in ex- periments at different discharge valve openings. In addition, the non-dimensional flow rate and head are also used to analyze the transient behavior. The research result shows that the rise characteristic of the rotational speed is not basically changed by working points, while mainly depends on the startnp characteristics of the driving motor. Compared with the rapid rise of the rotational speed, the flow rate rises slowly in the initial stage of startup. Moreover, the flow rate lags behind the rotational speed to rise to final stable value, and the delay becomes more severe with the increase of the discharge valve opening. The shaft power impact phenomenon generally exists in the process of startup. The non-dimensional analysis shows that the non-dimensional head is very high at the very beginning of startup, and quickly falls to the minimum, then gradually rises to final stable value, while the non-dimensional flow rate always shows the rise tendency during whole startup period. In conclusion, it is found from the non-dimensional results that the quasi-steady analysis is unable to accurately assess the transient flow during startup period.展开更多

The devices have a structure of indium-tin-oxide(ITO)/4,4′,4′′-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine(2T-NATA)(25 nm)/N,N'-Di-[(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl]-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(NPB)(40 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum(Al_(q_3))(50 nm)/LiF(1 nm)/Al:Ag(1:3)(x), where the thicknesses of cathode metal layers(Al:Ag) are adjusted, respectively, from 70 nm to 100 nm. In the experiment, it is found that the Li F(1 nm)/Al:Ag(1:3)(75 nm) has good electron injection efficiency. Compared with an Al-only cathode, the turn-on voltage is lowered. At the voltage of 10 V, the luminances for bottom emission from ITO anode side and top emission from metal cathode side are 2 459 cd/m^2 and 1 729 cd/m^2, respectively. Thanks to electron injection enhancement by using Al:Ag cathode, we can obtain a better energy level matching between the cathode and the organic layer, thus the devices have lower turn-on voltage and higher luminance. The total transmittance of the devices can achieve about 40% at the wavelength of 550 nm.展开更多

The definition domain is divided into n-dimension cubic sub-domains (cell) and each individual locates at an ndimensional cube. Cell-shift crossover first exchanges the cell numbers of the crossover pair if they are in the different cells (exploration) and subsequently shift the first individual from its initial place to the other individual's cell place. If they are already in the same cell heuristic crossover (exploitation) is used. Cell-shift/heuristic crossover adaptively executes exploration/exploitation search with the vary of genetic diversity. The cell-shift EA has excellent performance in terms of efficiency and efficacy on ten usually used optimization benchmarks when comparing with the recent well-known FEP evolutionary algorithm.展开更多
