Contactless parametric characterization of bandgap engineering in p-type FinFETs using spectral photon emission
摘要： In the last decade it has become increasingly popular to use germanium enriched silicon in modern field effect transistors (FET) due to the higher intrinsic mobility of both holes and electrons in SiGe as compared to Si. Whether used in the source/drain region (S/D) as compressive stressor, which is an efficient mobility booster on Si channel devices, or as channel material, the SiGe increases channel carrier mobility and thus enhancing device performance. Because the germanium content modifies the effective bandgap energy EG, this material characteristic is an important technology performance parameter. The bandgap energy can be determined in an LED-like operation of electronic devices, requiring forward biased p-n junctions. P-n junctions in FETs are source or drain to body diodes, usually grounded or reversely biased. This investigation applies a bias to the body that can trigger parasitic forward operation of the source/drain to body p-n junction in any FET. Spectral photon emission (SPE) is used here as a non-destructive method to characterize engineered bandgaps in operative transistor devices, while the device remains fully functional. Before applying the presented technique to a p-type FinFET device, it is put to the proof by verifying the nominal silicon bandgap on an (unstrained) 120 nm technology FET. Subsequently the characterization capability for bandgap engineering is then successfully demonstrated on a SiGe:C heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT). In a final step, the bandgap energy EG of a 14/16 nm p-type FinFET was determined to be 0.84 eV, which corresponds to a Si0.7Ge0.3 mixture. The presented characterization technique is a contactless fault isolation method that allows for quantitative local investigation of engineered bandgaps in p-type FinFETs.

Optical Pressure Sensor Based on the Emission and Excitation Band Width (FWHM) and Luminescence Shift of Ce3+ Doped Fluorapatite – High-Pressure Sensing
摘要： A novel, contactless optical sensor of pressure based on the luminescence red-shift and band width (full width at half maximum - FWHM) of the Ce3+-doped fluorapatite - Y6Ba4(SiO4)6F2 powder, has been successfully synthesized via a facile solid-state method. The obtained material exhibits a bright blue emission under UV light excitation. It was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and luminescence spectroscopy, including high-pressure measurements of excitation and emission spectra, up to above ≈30 GPa. Compression of the material resulted in a significant red-shift of the allowed 4f→5d and 5d→4f transitions of Ce3+ in the excitation and emission spectra, respectively. The pressure-induced monotonic shift of the emission band, as well as changes in the excitation/emission band widths, have been correlated with pressure for sensing purposes. The material exhibits a high pressure sensitivity (dλ/dP ≈0.63 nm/GPa), and outstanding signal intensity at high-pressure conditions (≈90% of the initial intensity at around 20 GPa) with minimal pressure-induced quenching of luminescence.

摘要： According to earlier studies conducted by the authors it was found that contactless fiber-optic sensors based on the magneto-optical Faraday effect (FOSF) in epitaxial films of iron garnet can be used for contactless monitoring of the status of control plate valves that regulate the flow of fire and explosion hazardous substances and operate over a wide temperature range. FOSF makes it possible to control the displacement and tilt angle of the valve regulating element (valve plate). However, at the moment there are no sufficiently accurate mathematical models for such FOSF. Studies have shown that the discrepancy between simulation results and experiments can reach 105%. The discrepancy between the results increases significantly when the FOSF is operated in a wide temperature range (from minus 196 to +80 °C). The low accuracy of the FOSF models does not make it possible to develop efficient means of compensating its intrinsic and complementary errors. The existing FOSF models are not sufficiently accurate, since they do not take into account: the distribution of the normal component of the magnetic field strength along the magneto-optical element (MOE) cross-section; the distribution of the optical radiation intensity along the MOE cross-section; optical absorption of the FOSF optical elements. According to the results of research carried out by the authors a set of mathematical models that takes into account the nonuniform distribution of the optical radiation intensity along the MOE cross-section, the nonuniform distribution of normal component of the magnetic field strength along the MOE cross-section, the optical absorption in FOSF optical elements and their temperature dependences was developed. This allowed us to significantly reduce the modelling error. The discrepancy between the results of mathematical modeling and experimental studies of FOSF prototypes does not exceed 7.2%.

摘要： This chapter describes the development of paper-based microchip electrophoresis (pME) devices for the separation of clinically relevant compounds. pME were fabricated by laser cut and thermal lamination process using polyester pouches. In addition, hand-drawn pencil electrodes were integrated to the device to perform capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D). Finished device costs less than US$ 0.10 and did not require either sophisticated instrumentation or clean room facilities. Furthermore, pME is lightweight, easy to handle, ?exible, and robust. pME-C4D device revealed an excellent capacity to separate BSA and creatinine in less than 150 s with baseline resolution. The device proposed in this chapter has proven to be a good alternative as a platform for the diagnosis of diseases from renal disorders such as diabetes mellitus and heart disease.

摘要： An inductively coupled contactless dc connector has been proposed for the next-generation 380-V dc distribution system in data centers. A LLC resonant dc–dc converter topology with gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors has been applied to realize the short-distance highly ef?cient contactless power transfer.

A Randomized, Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Photobiomodulation Therapy and Nona??Contact Selectivea??Field Radiofrequency on Abdominal Adiposity in Adolescents With Obesity
摘要： Background and Objectives: Structured physical activities and dietary control have traditionally been used with the aim of controlling obesity. However, effective auxiliary modalities still needed to reduce local obesity, specifically abdominal obesity. This study examined the adjunct effect of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), and non‐contact selective‐field radiofrequency (NcRF) on abdominal adiposity in adolescents with obesity. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Fifty‐four adolescents with obesity (33 females and 21 males) took part in this study and were distributed randomly into three treatment‐based groups. Control group (n = 18, age; 14.61 ± 1.14 years), PBMT group (n = 18, age; 14.22 ± 0.88 years), and NcRF group (n = 18, age; 15.11 ± 0.96 years). A dietary control plan of 1,000–1,200 kcal/day, and a 60‐minute aerobic exercise program conducted day‐by‐day over 4 weeks were provided for all participants. Additionally, the PBMT group received 12 20‐minute PBMT on the abdominal area (energy/session ~4.08 J/cm2) thrice/week, and the NcRF group underwent four 30‐minute treatments with NcRF on the abdominal area once/week. Waist/hip ratio (W‐to‐H ratio), intra‐abdominal fat thickness (IAFT), and the subcutaneous‐abdominal fat thickness (SAFT) were observed at the baseline and after 4 weeks. Results: The W‐to‐H ratio and SAFT reduced significantly in the PBMT group compared with either the control group (P = 0.001 and 0.001, respectively) or the NcRF group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.046, respectively) post‐intervention. However, the IAFT and IAFT/SAFT ratio did not differ significantly among the study groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our analysis shows that PBMT is more efficient than NcRF for the reduction of W‐to‐H ratio and SAFT in adolescents with obesity.

Estimation of respiratory rate using infrared video in an inpatient population: an observational study
摘要： Respiratory rate (RR) is one of the most sensitive markers of a deteriorating patient. Despite this, there is significant inter-observer discrepancy when measured by clinical staff, and modalities used in clinical practice such as ECG bioimpedance are prone to error. This study utilized infrared thermography (IRT) to measure RR in a critically ill population in the Intensive Care Unit. This study was carried out in a Single Hospital Centre. Respiratory rate in 27 extubated ICU patients was counted by two observers and compared to ECG Bioimpedance and IRT-derived RR at distances of 0.4–0.6 m and > 1 m respectively. IRT-derived RR using two separate computer vision algorithms outperformed ECG derived RR at distances of 0.4–0.6 m. Using an Autocorrelation estimator, mean bias was ? 0.667 breaths/min. Using a Fast Fourier Transform estimator, mean bias was ? 1.000 breaths/min. At distances greater than 1 m no statistically significant signal could be obtained. Over all frequencies, there was a significant relationship between the RR estimated using IRT and via manual counting, with Pearson correlation coefficients between 0.796 and 0.943 (p < 0.001). Correlation between counting and ECG-derived RR demonstrated significance only at > 19 bpm (r = 0.562, p = 0.029). Overall agreement between IRT-derived RR at distances of 0.4–0.6 m and gold standard counting was satisfactory, and outperformed ECG derived bioimpedance. Contactless IRT derived RR may be feasible as a routine monitoring modality in wards and subacute inpatient settings.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium - IMS 2019 - Boston, MA, USA (2019.6.2-2019.6.7)] 2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) - 30Gb/s 60.2mW 151GHz CMOS Transmitter/Receiver with Digitally Pre-Distorted Current Mode PAM-4 Modulator for Plastic waveguide and Contactless Communications
摘要： 151 GHz CMOS transmitter and receiver are presented for ultra-short distance (~1 mm) contactless connection and plastic waveguide communications. To continue to scale the communication bandwidth, the 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) is utilized by implementing a current-mode PAM-4 modulator in the transmitter. The transmitter and receiver suffer non-linear characteristics and create amplitude distortions on PAM-4 signaling. A digital pre-distortion circuit is integrated in the PAM-4 modulator to correct such system non-idealities. 151 GHz antennas are realized on FR4HR substrate and used as air-to-air/chip-to-waveguide couplers. On top of contactless connection and plastic ribbon waveguide, plastic-embedded PCB channels are introduced by exploiting copper-coated slots on PCB and plastic ribbons to communicate through PCB substrates. The transmitter and receiver are fabricated in 28-nm CMOS process. The demonstrated system consumes 60.2 mW under 1.2 V supply while transferring 30 Gb/s of PAM-4 data, achieving 2.01 pJ/bit energy efficiency.
