In this paper, we present the implications that the Lightly Doped Drain-LDD technique used for Metal Oxide Semiconductor-MOS fabrication of n-channel transistor has on different device parameters. The discussion focuses on the influence of the n- doping of drain, respectively source on the electric field, one of the most important issues of today's technology, but takes also into consideration another aspects such as the impact of LDD on series resistance of the device and channel length contribution on breakdown voltage reduction when considering drain/source light doping.

New type of dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) with axial symmetry are proposed for frequencies around 5.8 GHz. Each element uses a high permittivity cylindrical resonator and a low permittivity resonator of a truncated cone shape. Two types of microstrip-fed DRAs were investigated. By coupling the resonance modes, the first type and the second type DRA exhibit fractional impedance bandwidth of 15.6% and 19.7%, respectively.

The effects of strain field are studied in Si wafers implanted with heavy iodine and bismuth ions and in multi-quantum well structures. The experimental method of thermally stimulated currents without applied bias is used, and the trapping centres parameters are determined by modelling the discharge curves. In both cases, the strain field produces temperature-dependent parameters of trapping levels. So, due to the high strain field in the neighbourhood of implanted ions, energy levels broaden and cross sections become temperature dependent. In multilayer structures, for the trapping centres corresponding to strain-induced defects both concentrations and capture cross sections are temperature dependent.

P-type 4H-SiC layers formed by ion implantation need high temperature process generating surface roughness, losing and incomplete activation of dopants. Due to dopant redistribution and channeling effect, it is difficult to predict the depth of the formed junctions. Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) selective epitaxy is an alternative method to obtain locally highly doped p-type layers in the 1020 cm-3 range or more. The depth of this p-type layers or regions is accurately controlled by the initial Reactive-Ion-Etching (RIE) of the SiC. Lateral Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) devices are fabricated integrating p-type layers created by Al ion implantation or VLS growth. The P-type VLS layers improve the access resistances on the electrodes of the fabricated devices.

Electroporation represents one of the techniques used for cell research. By membrane permeabilization, biological samples can be introduced into the cells or intercellular content is released for further analysis providing information for diagnosis and treatment. This techniques is achieved in microfluidic systems with microelectrodes that induce a high electric field in the vicinity of cells to generate nanopores in cell membrane. In this paper, a micro-electro-fluidic system with channels and various configurations of electrodes is studied by electrostatic simulation in order to find the electric field distribution that ensures electroporation.

Interface state density (Dit) at SiO2/4H-SiC interfaces is investigated using capacitance-voltage (C-V) characterization. Two different measurement methods for Dit determination (both C-V at different temperatures in the range of 80-300K and high frequency (HF) vs quasi static (QS) characteristics) have been used. A significant reduction of Dit is observed, almost one order of magnitude, after a post oxidation annealing (POA) in POCl3 ambient, compared to as-grown dry oxidized sample.

The aim of this paper is to present the implementation of an energy recovery system based on BLDC motor deceleration, in order to be used in e-bike's propulsion systems. The energy which should be lost during deceleration is now recovered, stored and then used in other applications. The energy recovery and reutilization leads to a considerable decrease in total energy consumption necessary for traction mode. At the same time combining with the super capacitors usage is protecting the life expectancy of the battery, which normally supplies the propulsion system of an electric motor.

This paper presents a high slew-rate error amplifier (EA) used to implement a capacitorless low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) with a very fast transient response. The proposed EA improves a recently published OA structure, by employing high-swing input buffers and a local common mode feedback. Thus, the figures-of-merit related to the EA gain-bandwidth and slew-rate are 2.75, respectively 24 times better than for the initial OA. The EA was used to implement a LDO that requires only 1.1uA quiescent current but has an output current capability of 100mA. The high slew-rate of the EA helps this LDO to achieve low overshoot/undershoot (200mV/274mV) in case of a fast (1us) load step of 100mA, while employing only an on-chip load capacitance of 100pF. Compared with similar implementations, the proposed LDO yields same or better transient performance while requiring significantly less quiescent current. Thus its figure of merit results at least three times better than for its counterparts. The line and load regulation are 0.07mV/V, respectively 0.0028mV/mA.

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials containing Zn ions were studied by broadband dielectric spectroscopy to follow up rotational molecular dynamics of confined water. One main relaxation process was observed in the experimental window; it was assigned to fluctuations of water molecules forming a strongly adsorbed thin layer upon the oxide surface. The temperature dependence of the relaxation rates has an unusual shape characterized by the presence of a maximum. Despite the characteristic parameters, this non-monotonous dependence is shown to be a rather general feature for water confined to LDHs.
