Two electron and two hole surface channels are simultaneously present in all channel current ranges. Output and transfer characteristics are computed over practical base and gate oxide thicknesses. The bipolar theory corroborates well with experimental data reported recently for FinFETs with metal/silicon and p/n junction source/drain contacts.

As in the last-month paper which represented the drift and diffusion current by the single electrochemical (potential-gradient) current, the two-dimensional transistor is partitioned into two sections, the source and drain sections, each can operate as the electron or hole emitter or collector under specific combinations of applied terminal voltages. Analytical solution is then obtained in the source and drain sections by separating the two-dimensional trap-free Shockley Equations into two one-dimensional equations parametrically coupled via the surface-electric-potential and by using electron current continuity and hole current continuity at the boundary between the emitter and collector sections. Total and the drift and diffusion components of the electron-channel and hole-channel currents and output and transfer conductances, and the electrical lengths of the two sections are computed and presented in graphs as a function of the D.

The channels and currents are controlled by one or more externally applied transverse electric fields. It has been known as the unipolar field-effect transistor for 55-years since Shockley's 1952 invention,because the electron-current theory inevitably neglected the hole current from over-specified internal and boundary conditions, such as the electrical neutrality and the constant hole-electrochemical-potential, resulting in erroneous solutions of the internal and terminal electrical characteristics from the electron channel current alone, which are in gross error when the neglected hole current becomes comparable to the electron current, both in subthreshold and strong inversion. This report presents the general theory, that includes both electron and hole channels and currents. The rectangular ( x, y, z) parallelepiped transistors,uniform in the width direction (z-axis),with one or two MOS gates on thin and thick,and pure and impure base, are used to illustrate the two-dimensional effects and the correct internal and boundary conditions for the electric and the electron and hole electrochemical potentials. Complete analytical equations of the DC current-voltage characteristics of four common MOS transistor structures are derived without over-specification: the 1-gate on semi-infinite-thick impure-base (the traditional bulk transistor), the 1-gate on thin impure-silicon layer over oxide-insulated silicon bulk (SOI) ,the 1-gate on thin impure-silicon layer deposited on insulating glass (SOI TFT), and the 2-gates on thin pure-base (FinFETs).展开更多

There have been few experimental studies to visualize cryogenic foil cavitation. Therefore a new cryogenic cavitation tunnel of blowdown type was built. The foil shape is “piano-convex”. This profile was chosen because of simplicity, but also of being similar to the one for a rocket inducer impeller. Working fluids were water at room temperature, hot water and liquid nitrogen. In case of Angle of Attack (AOA)=8°, periodical cavity departure was observed in the experiments of both water at 90℃ and nitrogen at -190℃ under the same velocity 10 m/sec and the same cavitation number 0.7. The frequencies were observed to be 110 and 90 Hz, respectively, and almost coincided with those of vortex shedding from the foil. Temperature depression due to the thermodynamic effect was confirmed in both experiment and simulation especially in the cryogenic cavitation.展开更多

In this work, the impact of biaxial strain together with (100) channel orientation on hole mobility is explored. The biaxial strain was incorporated by the growth of a relaxed SiGe buffer layer,serving as the template for depositing a Si layer in a state of biaxial tensile strain. The channel orientation was implemented with a 45^o rotated design in the device layout,which changed the channel direction from (110) to (100) on Si (001) surface. The maximum hole mobility is enhanced by 30% due to the change of channel direction from (110) to (100) on the same strained Si (s-Si) p-MOSFETs,in addition to the mobility enhancement of 130% when comparing s-Si pMOS to bulk Si pMOS both along (110) channels. Discussion and analysis are presented about the origin of the mobility enhancement by channel orientation along with biaxial strain in this work.展开更多

Methods: A total of 50 patients with constipation due to intestinal qi stagnation were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a medication group by the random digital table, 25 cases in each group. The patients in the acupuncture group were treated by puncturing Gongsun(SP 4), Sanyinjiao(SP 6), Taichong(LR 3), Zusanli(ST 36), Shangjuxu(ST 37), Hegu(LI 4), Lieque(LU 7), and Tianshu(ST 25), once every day, and 7 d as one course, for continuous 3 courses; while the patients in the medication group were given Phenolphthalein, 7 d as one course, for continuous 3 courses. Compared the Cleveland clinic constipation score(CCS) between the two groups after one course, 3 courses and 3 months after the treatment, as well as the frequency of defecation within one week. Results: After one week of treatment, CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were significantly changed in both groups compared with those before treatment(P〈0.05), and CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were improved more significantly in the patients of the medication group than in those of the acupuncture group(P〈0.01). After 3 weeks of treatment, CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were significantly changed in both groups compared with those before treatment(P〈0.05), and CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were improved more significant in the patients of the acupuncture group than in those of the medication group(P〈0.05). Three months after the end of treatment, CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were significantly changed in both groups compared with those before treatment(P〈0.05), and CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were improved more significantly in the patients of the acupuncture group than in those of the medication group(P〈0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture and medication are effective in the treatment of constipation due to intestinal qi stagnation. Their short-term therapeutic effect is similar, but the long-term therapeutic effect is better in the acupuncture group than in the medication group.展开更多
