The paper presents a methodology to propagate the consequences of random hardware faults in automotive smart power products to the application level. To accomplish this, the random hardware faults on chip level are assessed through fault injection into circuit simulations and are collapsed to come up with the relevant fault modes of a certain chip block. Then, these fault modes are propagated to the application level by injecting them into application simulations. The above is accomplished in an automated, seamless flow, which supports the engineering judgment in safety analysis by simulation results. The viability of the proposed approach is shown along a real-life example application (electric power steering) and a related smart power function (current measurement in the three phases). 1

As first aim, a start Pentacene-Organic Thin Film Transistor - OTFT - is simulated to capture the static characteristics and to find the matching parameters with the experimental set-up. The current vectors validate the main conduction way and the OTFT functionality. In a second stage, the basic technology of an alternative polymer grafted on nanomaterial synthesis, is depicted. The Fe304 core-shell nanoparticles are assembled by an external shell of paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA). The final scope will be OTFT construction by these green technologies. The first step: the Fe3O4/PAbathin films synthesis and characterization, is successfully performed.

Samarium and Lanthanum doped nanostructured ZnO thin films were grown onto glass substrates by spray deposition method. Influences of different concentrations (0% to 1%) of Sm and La on the ZnO structural and optical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy and by UV-VIS spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the ZnO films have zincite crystalline structure and show a preferential growth orientation along (101) crystallographic orientation. Doping with Sm and La leads to changes of thin films crystallinity as well as their transparency in VIS region of electromagnetic spectrum. Increasing dopant concentration leads to slightly increased transparency.

High-energy physics experiments at the future CERN High Luminosity LHC (Large Hadron Collider) require highly segmented pixelated sensors of increased geometrical efficiency and the ability of withstanding extremely high radiation damage. The performance of planar n-on-p sensors with active edges is simulated at very high fluences (2×1016neq/cm2), using a recent three level trap model for p-type silicon material. Precise structural definition is achieved by investigating the doping profile of the devices via the Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry technique. The breakdown voltage, and hole density distribution are studied as a function of radiation fluences.

This paper is a theoretical study of the optimum doping concentration for the n and p pillars of a superjunction IGBT. As the concentration of the pillar for a silicon-carbide superjunction device increases up to 10 times higher than that of silicon, unipolar drift current in each pillar can be predominant over the bipolar action. The increased doping concentration effectively reduces the potential drop in the pillar for the on-state conduction.

The need to develop high performance materials is increasing nowadays. Due to its extraordinary range of properties, the yttria-doped zirconia is placed in a special place among the ceramic oxide systems. Co-doping with other rare earths oxides, such as Lantania is required in order to obtain better properties for some applications. The aim of the following paper is to determine the kinetic growth parameters of the crystallite according to the nature and the content of dopant used. The ZrO2 - 3Y203 - nLa203 (n = 3, 6, 9) samples were obtained through a hydrothermal process.

In this paper, we show the electromagnetic design of a small patch antenna based on a molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) monolayer, with an area of only 22mm2, that exhibits high radiation efficiency and large tunability in microwaves at 10GHz thanks to a metal-insulator transition (MIT) induced by electrostatic gating. Furthermore, the MIT in MoS2is used to reconfigure a tunable carbon nanotube-based filter, conferring it different functionalities: low-pass, high-pass and bandpass around 2GHz, while its carbon nanotube varactors allow tuning the cutoff frequency or central frequency.
