The photoluminescence properties of ZnO single-crystal microtubes grown on Si substrate by hydrothermal method were investigated. An anomalous Z-shaped red-shift was found in the photoluminescence spectra, implying a new temperature switch characteristics. These results are considered to be from the competition among three kinds of excitons, which are localized excitons due to trapping in the intrinsic impurities and interface states at low temperatures; localized excitons and bound from thermally activated and transferred into bound states at intermediate temperatures; and, free excitons and unknown exciton complexes by thermal energy (kT) transfer part of the bound excitons into free excitons at high temperatures. As a result, free excitonsand interface states-excitons strongly overlaped.

We propose use of heterostructures in PIN rectifiler diodes for obtaining faster switching speed. It is shown that by employing a small bandgap material in the heavily doped P layer and a wide bandgap material in the intrinsic region, reverse recovery time can be significantly lowered without compromising either the breakdown or the forward ON voltage.

A complete carrier-based non-charge-sheet analytic model for nano-scale undoped symmetric doublegate MOSFETs is presented in this paper. The formulation is based on the Poisson's equation to solve for the carrier (electron) concentration directly rather than relying on the surface potential alone. Therefore, the distribution of the potential, the field, and the charge density in the channel away from the surface is also expressed in terms of the carrier concentration, giving a complete carrier-based noncharge-sheet model for nano-scale undoped symmetric double-gate MOSFETs including the short-channel effects. The model formulation has an analytic form that does not need to solve for the transcendent equation as in the conventional surface potential model or classical Pao-Sah formulation. As a result, the model can analytically predict the analytical I-V and C-V characteristics of the undoped symmetric double-gate MOSFETs. The validity of the model results has also been demonstrated by the extensive comparison with the 2-D numerical simulation and experimental data.

Negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristics in the current-voltage curve of a p-type Si/Si1-χGeχresonant tunnelling diode (RTD) are simulated with the quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model. An integrated difference scheme including Schafetter-Gummel (SG) method, second upwind method and second-order central difference method is used to discretize the QHD equations, which maintains both accuracy and stability. This work is the first to simulate hole transport in RTD using the QHD model. Investigations of some structure modifications have been carried out. Analysis of the results indicates that both quantum barrier thickness and hole effective mass have an impact on NDR characteristics for Si/Si1-χGeχRTD. The simulated peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 1.14 at T=293K agrees quantitatively with the experimental result when x=0.23.

In this paper, we propose a single-turn multiple-layer interlaced stacked transformer structure with nearly perfect magnetic-coupling factor (kIM∼ 1) using standard mixed-signal/RF CMOS (or BiCMOS) technology. A single-turn six-layer interlaced stacked transformer was implemented to demonstrate the proposed structure. Temperature dependence (from -25 °C to 175°C) of the quality-factor (Q-factor), kIm, resistive-coupling factor (kRe), maximum available power gain (GAmax), and minimum noise figure (NFmin) performances of the transformer are reported. State-of-the-art GAmaxof 0.762 and 0.904 (i.e. NFminof 1.181 dB and 0.437 dB) have been achieved at 5.2 GHz and 8 GHz, respectively, at room temperature, mainly due to the perfect magnetic-coupling factor and the high resistive-coupling factor. The present analysis is helpful for RF engineers to design ultra-low-voltage high-performance transformer-feedback LNAs and VCOs, and other RF-ICs which include transformers.

Low cost is the trend for consumer electronics. However, the challenges of the LCD-TV processor using cost-effective two-layer ball grid array (BGA) packages suffer from serious crosstalk and return loss due to lack of a solid plane to suppress the coupling effect and control the trace impedance. Two types of two-layer BGA packages were measured and simulated using a 3D full-wave electromagnetic field solver and an EM-based 3D parasitic extractor to analyze their speed limitations and power coupling between the signals and the power net. The results indicated the signal coupling is the dominant factor for insertion loss. Thus, the design guidelines and specifications using two-layer BGA packages are proposed for development of the next generation processors.

Using voltage controlled current source (VCCS) instead of electrical series resistance (ESR) of load capacitor to create a zero is a novel LDO frequency compensation scheme. This paper analyzes this compensation scheme, and reveals that the VCCS circuit conduces to the improvements of transient response and PSR performance of LDO. A new area compact VCCS circuit that has a nearly ideal performance in wide frequency spectrum up to 5MHzis also presented. Using VCCS, a LDO with 300mV dropout, 2.5V output voltage and l00mA output current is designed in 0.5μm CMOS technology with pretty frequency performance, transient response and PSR performance. The total on-chip capacitor employed in this LDO is less than 1pF.
