Integrated magnetic full wave converter with flexible output inductor

A new integrated magnetic full wave DC/DC power converter that provides flexible transformer design by incorporating an independent output inductor winding is introduced. The transformer is implemented on a traditional three-leg magnetic core. The inductor winding can be separately designed to control the output current ripple. The cross-sectional area of the inductor core leg can be reduced dramatically. The operation and performance of the proposed circuit are verified on a 100 W prototype converter.

A novel technique for profiling the lateral n- dopingconcentrations of submicron LDD MOS devices

This paper reports a simple I-V method for the first time to determine the lateral lightly-doped source/drain (S/D) profiles (n^- region) of LDD n-MOSFETs. One interesting result is the direct observation of the reverse-short-channel effect (RSCE). It is observed that S/D n^- doping profile is channel length dependent if reverse short-channel effect exists as a result of the interstitial imperfections caused by Oxide Enhanced Diffusion (OED) or S/D implant. Not only the lateral profiles for long-channel devices but also for short-channel devices can be determined. One other practical application of the present method for device drain engineering has been demonstrated with a LATID MOS device drain engineering work. It is convincible that the proposed method is well suited for the characterization and optimization of submicron and deep-submicron MOSFETs in the current ULSI technology

Influence of lattice self-heating and hot-carrier transport ondevice performance

As device technologies improve, the traditional drift-diffusion transport model becomes inadequate to predict the performance of state-of-the-art semiconductor devices. The reasons are believed to be the larger field and field gradient inside advanced devices which cause lattice heating and hot carrier nonlocal transport phenomena. For more accurate prediction on device performance, a new device simulator capable of full thermodynamic simulation was developed. The carrier and carrier energy transport equations are directly derived from the Boltzmann transport equation, and the energy transfer among electrons, holes and crystal lattice takes into account most of the possible mechanisms. This simulator was used to simulate the DC behavior of a BJT and a half-micron NMOS. The simulation results show that for advanced devices, not only the drift-diffusion model becomes inadequate, but including only one of the two thermal effects results in error in simulated device characteristics     

A segmentation-based lossless image coding method forhigh-resolution medical image compression

Lossless compression techniques are essential in archival and communication of medical images. Here, a new segmentation-based lossless image coding (SLIC) method is proposed, which is based on a simple but efficient region growing procedure. The embedded region growing procedure produces an adaptive scanning pattern for the image with the help of a very-few-bits-needed discontinuity index map. Along with this scanning pattern, an error image data part with a very small dynamic range is generated. Both the error image data and the discontinuity index map data parts are then encoded by the Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) method. The SLIC method resulted in, on the average, lossless compression to about 1.6 b/pixel from 8 b, and to about 2.9 b/pixel from 10 b with a database of ten high-resolution digitized chest and breast images. In comparison with direct coding by JBIG, Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), hierarchical interpolation (HINT), and two-dimensional Burg prediction plus Huffman error coding methods, the SLIC method performed better by 4% to 28% on the database used     

Multiresolution learning paradigm and signal prediction

Current neural network learning processes, regardless of the learning algorithm and preprocessing used, are sometimes inadequate for difficult problems. We present a new learning concept and paradigm for neural networks, called multiresolution learning, based on multiresolution analysis in wavelet theory. The multiresolution learning paradigm can significantly improve the generalization performance of neural networks
