The extraction is based on the IDs-Vcs characteristics by maximum transconductance (maximum slope of IDs & VGS) in the linear region. The transconductance characteristics are determine for the several devices of difference drawn channel length. The effective channel length of submicron LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) NMOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) under hot carrier stressing was measured at the stress time varying from zero to 10,000 seconds. It is shown that the effective channel length was increased with time. This is caused by charges trapping in the oxide during stress. The increased of effective channel length (△Leff) is seem to be increased sharply as the gate channel length is decrease.展开更多

The attempts to develop this tech- nology focus on the generation of featured microparticles for improving the function of the systems. Here, we present a new type of microparticles with gelatin methacrylate (GelMa) cores and poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) shells for syn- ergistic and sustained drug delivery applications. The mi- croparticles were fabricated by using GelMa aqueous solu- tion and PLGA oil solution as the raw materials of the mi- croflnidic double emulsion templates, in which hydrophilic and hydrophobic actives, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX, hydrophilic) and camptothecine (CPT, hydrophobic), could be loaded respectively. As the inner cores were poly- merized in the microfluidics when the double emulsions were formed, the hydrophilic actives could be trapped in the cores with high efficiency, and the rupture or fusion of the cores could be avoided during the solidification of the micropar- ticle shells with other actives. The size and component of the microparticles can be easily and precisely adjusted by ma- nipulating the flow solutions during the microfluidic emulsi- fication. Because of the solid structure of the resultant mi- croparticles, the encapsulated actives were released from the delivery systems only with the degradation of the biopolymer layers, and thus the burst release of the actives was avoided. These features of the microparticles make them ideal for drug delivery applications.展开更多
