In this paper, recent progress on the investigation of the Vfb shift and the origin of the Vfb roll-off in the metal-gate/high-k pMOS stacks are reviewed. Methods that can alleviate the Vfb shift phenomenon are summarized and the future research trend is described.展开更多

Then the VFB of TiN/HfO2/SiO2/Si stack is experimentally obtained and theoretically investigated by this model. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, both positive VFB shift of TiN/HfO2/SiO2/Si stack and Fermi level pinning are successfully interpreted and attributed to the dielectric contact induced gap states at TiN/HfO2 and HfO2/SiO2 interfaces.展开更多

This method can effectively control the reactive process,so the pure unsymmetrical fluorescein derivative can be obtained in high yield. The new fluorophore exhibited dual absorption bands,dual excitation bands and dual emission bands with long-wavelength,selectively exciting the acidic and basic forms of the fluorophore. Compared with the similar symmetrical fluorescein derivatives such as 2 ', 7 '-dichlorofluorescein and dinaphtofluorescein, this fluorophore was found to have larger Stokes shift,especially in the basic form. Based on the properties above,this unsymmetrical fluorescein derivative is expected as a good fluorescent probe to be used where the interference exists due to the presence of endogenous fluorescers.展开更多

Through the analysis of the mathematical expression and combining with the perfect reconstruction conditions of the filter banks, we propose the design conditions of an M-band filter to reduce and eliminate the ICI. The impulse response model of the filter design conditions and an iterative algorithm is also established. The simulation results show that the proposed ICI reduction and elimination methods can effectively improve the system performance.展开更多

The QPSK DS-CDMA signals are transmitted over a frequency non-selective Rayleigh fading channel. The analysis is based on a first-order real-coefficient difference equation with respect to steady-state instantaneous frequency tracking error from which a closed-form expression that relates frequency tracking mean square error (MSE) with number of DS-CDMA active users and NBI power is obtained. Closed-form expressions for optimum notch bandwidth coefficient and step size constant that minimize the frequency tracking MSE are also derived. Computer simulations are included to substantiate the accuracy of the analyses.展开更多
