The gate oxide properties are investigated for channel hot-carrier effects. The hot-carrier-induced device degradations are analyzed using stress experiments with three typical hot-carrier injection, i.e., the maximum gate current, maximum substrate current and parasitic bipolar transistor action. Experiments show that PMOSFET's degradation is caused by hot carriers injected into the drain side of the gate oxide and the types of trapped hot carrier depend on the bias conditions, and NMOSFET's degradation is caused by hot holes. This paper reports for the first time that the electric characteristics of NMOSFET's and PMOSFET's are significantly different after the gate oxide breakdown, and an extensive discussion of the experimental findings is provided.展开更多

However, such separation introduces the issues regarding the reliability of the control plane and controller load imbalance in the distributed SDN network, which will cause the low network stability and the poor controller performance. This paper proposes Reliable and Load balance-aware Multi-controller Deployment(RLMD) strategy to address the above problems. Firstly, we establish a multiple-controller network model and define the relevant parameters for RLMD. Then, we design the corresponding algorithms to implement this strategy. By weighing node efficiency and path quality, Controller Placement Selection(CPS) algorithm is introduced to explore the reliable deployments of the controllers. On this basis, we design Multiple Domain Partition(MDP) algorithm to allocate switches for controllers according to node attractability and controller load balancing rate, which could realize the reasonable domain planning. Finally, the simulations show that, compared with the typical strategies, RLMD has the better performance in improving the reliability of the control plane and balancing the distribution of the controller loads.展开更多

A method to estimate the friction potential based on on-board sensor information is shown in this work. This work expands the scope of existing investigations on whether the accuracy needed for the warning and intervention strategies of AEB can be reached with the proposed method. First, the bandwidth of surface conditions investigated is extended by including low friction surfaces comparable to ice. Second, situations of changing surface conditions and wheel-individual surface conditions were evaluated. Finally, estimation based on different sensor sets was conducted with regard to series application. The investigations are based on measurements performed on a proving ground. The main emphasis was placed on estimation during longitudinal driving conditions. The used sensors include advanced vehicle dynamics measurement equipment as well as standard on-board sensors of the vehicle.展开更多

This paper presents the results of investigation by computer software of the overvoltages resulting from a ferroresonance conditions in MV networks at open phase operating condition with and without connection to earth on source and load sides of distribution transformer. This overvoltage may reach 4.2 pu on one of the HV side of transformer unswitched phases. The results of the study show that ferroresonance overvoltage may be controlled by replacing fuses with circuit breakers on HV side to ensure switching-off all phases. Insertion of resistor or reactor in the neutral of source and loadsides of the transformer with 5% active load will help in suppressing overvoltages.展开更多

To promote the application of low-cost thermoelectric devices, we synthesized n-type SnS crystals through bromine doping. Herein, we report a high in-plane power factor of ~28 μW cm^(-1)K^(-2), and attribute it to an outstanding in-plane carrier mobility in the crystal form and the large Seebeck coefficient benefitting from the low carrier concentration. The calculations of elastic properties show that the low lattice thermal conductivity in SnS is closely related to its strong anharmonicity. Combining the excellent electrical transport properties with low thermal conductivity, a final ZT of ~0.4 is attained at 300 K, projecting a conversion efficiency of ~5% at 873 K along the in-plane direction.展开更多
