In this article, the particle filtering problem is investigated for nonlinear systems with correlated noise and missing measurements (MMs). By accounting for both correlated noise and MMs, a novel explicit weighting expression is presented. Based on this weighting scheme, a new bootstrap particle filtering algorithm is designed to address such influence. Furthermore, to limit the particle degradation suffered by the bootstrap particle filter (PF), a novel importance function based on the Gaussian optimal filter is presented. To perform the numerical integration required by the Gaussian optimal filter, the fifth-degree spherical-radial cubature rule (FSRCR) is used to acquire a novel importance function. Consequently, a novel high-degree cubature particle filtering algorithm is developed for these systems. Simulation experiments show that the two proposed algorithms significantly improve estimation accuracy, with notable performance gains over the existing unscented Kalman filter (KF), especially as the sample size increases.

During hypersonic spacecraft flights, it is easy to produce metal particles containing aluminum (Al) or form a plasma sheath containing an Al metal layer to attach to the surface of the spacecraft, which leads to the interruption of radio communication. In this article, Using the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) collision model, this study calculates the transmission coefficient of electromagnetic (EM) waves in the inhomogeneous medium comprising fully ionized dusty plasma and Al layers through the scattering matrix method (SMM). The transport characteristics of left-circularly polarized and right-circularly polarized waves in inhomogeneous fully ionized dusty plasma containing an Al layer are analyzed in the presence of an external magnetic field. The effects of magnetic field intensity, Al layer thickness, and other dusty plasma parameters (dust particle density, dust particle radius, electron density, and effective collision frequency) on the propagation characteristics of EM waves in fully ionized dusty plasma and inhomogeneous media of Al are analyzed in the GHz band. The findings reveal that aluminum significantly impedes EM wave propagation, with increased Al layer thickness exacerbating the obstruction of EM waves penetrating the fully ionized dusty plasma. In addition, magnetic field intensity and different dusty plasma parameters also affect the propagation characteristics of EM waves in the fully ionized dusty plasma containing Al to different degrees. These results provide a theoretical basis for alleviating the blackouts problem of hypersonic spacecraft during flight.

Among the various Backside Interconnections (BSI) methods, Direct Backside Contact (DBC) is essential in minimizing the area of logic standard cells and SRAM bitcells with 3-dimensional Stacked FETs (3DSFET) beyond the 1 nm node. Additionally, from an SRAM design perspective, the DBC structure offers the advantage of allowing the use of NMOS for the Pass-Gate (PG) transistor, as was done previously. In this study, we demonstrated SRAM transistors operation by adopting the highly promising 3DSFET with DBC structure. And we validated the SRAM bitcell operation through TCAD simulation by applying hardware verification of the SRAM transistor. As a result, we can propose an innovative structure that is compatible with both logic transistor performance and SRAM bitcell configuration beyond 1 nm node.

Plasmonic based electro-absorption modulators (EAMs) has paved the way for high-speed photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This paper demonstrates the numerical analysis and the structural design of the EAM using various plasmonic materials, such as vanadium dioxide (VO2), indium-tin-oxide (ITO) and graphene, to modulate signals traveling through the waveguide on an SiO2 platform. It also explores key performance metrics, including the extinction ratio (ER) and the figure-of-merit (FOM), which is related to the device's insertion loss (IL). By optimizing the structural parameters and utilizing the plasmonic materials, the device characteristics, especially the effective-mode-index (EMI), is modified to attain the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) condition. The ITO-based EAM attains a high ER of 22.24 dB/μm with a FOM of 482.45, while the graphene-ITO based EAM obtains an ER of 20.31 dB/μm and a FOM of 296.06 at 1.55 μm wavelength. Both devices have an energy consumption per bit (Ebit) below 2.20 fJ/bit and modulation frequency ($f$) exceeding 1300 GHz at an IL $< $ 0.07 dB/μm. The investigated EAMs hold potential for future-generation PICs.

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) presents a promising solution for energy-efficient logic-in-memory (LiM) systems. This paper introduces a Multi-mode Configurable Physical Unclonable Function (MC-PUF) tailored for secure RRAM-based LiM applications, utilizing a conventional one-transistor-one-RRAM (1T1R) array. The MC-PUF operates in multiple modes by modifying the programming voltages of the RRAM, which captures the distinct variations of each RRAM under varying conditions. In weak write mode, the MC-PUF exploits the inherent variations of RRAM by setting the programming voltages to achieve a 50% switching probability, thereby randomly assigning ‘0’ or ‘1’ states. In parallel competition mode, it generates responses by selecting two parallel RRAMs, with one remaining in a high resistance state (HRS) and the other switching to a low resistance state (LRS). This configuration allows the MC-PUF to generate more challenge-response pairs (CRPs) compared to conventional designs, thus enhancing security through increased entropy. The design was validated through simulations using a compact Spice model and the UMC 55 nm CMOS library, as well as on an experimental hardware platform with commercial RRAM chips. Results from both simulations and hardware implementations indicate that the proposed MC-PUF exhibits high reliability, excellent uniqueness, and superior configurability.
