A Donor–Acceptor Polymer with a Peculiar Negative‐Charge‐“Trapping” Characteristic

Voltammetric and spectrophotometric measurements of poly(3,3″‐dipentoxy‐3′‐dicyanoethenyl‐2,2′:5′,2″‐terthiophene) (polyCN) films, in connection with other experimental evidence, reveal a normal oxidative, but a peculiar reductive behavior consisting of trapping of the negative charge during the cathodic scan. Another interesting property of polyCN films is the tendency to form strong intramolecular and intermolecular associations, probably charge‐transfer (CT) complexes. These properties could account for the fact that the photovoltaic performance does not improve when polyCN is blended with a polythiophene donor.     

An Analysis of Citation Counts of ETRI‐Invented US Patents

From its foundation until 2004, ETRI has registered over 1,000 US patents. This letter analyzes the characteristics of these patents and addresses the explanatory factors affecting their citation counts. For explanatory variables, research team related variables, invention specific variables, and geographical domain related variables are suggested. Zero‐altered count data models are used to test the impact of independent variables. A key finding is that technological cumulativeness, the scale of invention, outputs in the electronic field, and the degree of dependence on the US technology domain positively affect the citation counts of ETRI‐invented US patents. The magnitude of international presence appears to negatively affect the citation counts of ETRI‐invented US patents.     

无线网络融合的安全技术研究

融合多种网络可满足用户长日寸间连接和尽可能获得较高数据传输速率的需要，但融合后的网络也将各种网络的安全缺陷带进融合网络中。这不但给融合网络的运行带进各种原有的安全问题，而且增加了一些新的安全问题。对此，文章提出了基于恢复的多重防护解决方案，并使用公钥加密算法鉴权。使用私钥对通信数据进行加密。该方案可以为系统提供可靠的安全性，并实现用户对服务的不可抵赖性。该方案还处于研究起步阶段，下一步还需要明确各层的正确行为，以及出现多个恶意节点对某个合法节点诬陷时所应采取的行动。     

Synthesis of ZSM‐5 Films and Monoliths with Bimodal Micro/Mesoscopic Structures

A route to synthesize ZSM‐5 crystals with a bimodal micro/mesoscopic pore system has been developed in this study; the successful incorporation of the mesopores within the ZSM‐5 structure was performed using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH)‐impregnated mesoporous materials containing carbon nanotubes in the pores, which were encapsulated in the ZSM‐5 crystals during a solid rearrangement process within the framework. Such mesoporous ZSM‐5 zeolites can be readily obtained as powders, thin films, or monoliths.     

Inside Front Cover: The Elastic Properties and Plastic Behavior of Two‐Dimensional Polymer Structures Fabricated by Laser Interference Lithography (Adv. Funct. Mater. 10/2006)

The probing of the micromechanical properties within a two‐dimensional polymer structure with sixfold symmetry fabricated via interference lithography reveals a nonuniform spatial distribution in the elastic modulus “imprinted” with an interference pattern in work reported by Tsukruk, Thomas, and co‐workers on p. 1324. The image prepared by M. Lemieux and T. Gorishnyy shows how the interference pattern is formed by three laser beams and is transferred to the solid polymer structure. The elastic and plastic properties within a two‐dimensional polymer (SU8) structure with sixfold symmetry fabricated via interference lithography are presented. There is a nonuniform spatial distribution in the elastic modulus, with a higher elastic modulus obtained for nodes (brightest regions in the laser interference pattern) and a lower elastic modulus for beams (darkest regions in the laser interference pattern) of the photopatterned films. We suggest that such a nonuniformity and unusual plastic behavior are related to the variable material properties “imprinted” by the interference pattern.     

一种高性能的新结构IGBT

提出了一种低功率损耗的新结构IGBT.该新结构的创新点在于其复合耐压层结构,该耐压层包括深扩散形成的n型缓冲层和硼注入形成的透明背发射区两部分.虽然在正常工作条件下,该新结构IGBT工作于穿通状态,但器件仍具有非穿通IGBT(NPT-IGBT)的优良特性.该新结构IGBT具有比NPT-IGBT更薄的芯片厚度,从而可以获得更好的通态压降和关断功耗之间的折衷.实验结果表明:与NPT-IGBT相比较,新结构IGBT的功率损耗降低了40%.

Throughput analysis for multicast switches with multiple input queues

This letter analyzes the saturated throughput for multicast switches with multiple input queues per input port. Under the assumptions of a Poisson uniform traffic model and random packet scheduling policy, we derive the multicast switch saturated throughput under different fanouts. To verify the analysis, extensive simulations are conducted with different switch sizes and fanouts. It is shown that the theoretical analysis and the simulation results have a discrepancy less than 1.9%. Results from this letter can be used as a guidance to design the optimal queuing for multicast switches.     

基于SOI的双极场效应晶体管

在分析了双极型晶体管和场效应晶体管各自的特点和不足后，介绍了一种既具有双极型晶体管较大电流容量和功率输出，又具有场效应晶体管高输入阻抗的电子器件——双极MOS场效应晶体管(BJMOSFET)，同时指出体硅BJMOSFET的阳极扩散区与衬底之间存在较大的漏电流，可产生较大的寄生效应。提出了一种新型固体电子器件——基于SOI的BJMOSFET，分析了其工作原理j与体硅BJMOSFET比较，由于SOI技术完整的介质隔离避免了体硅器件中存在的大部分寄生效应，使基于SOI的BJMOSFET在体效应、热载流子效应、寄生电容、短沟道效应和闩锁效应等方面具有更优良的特性。     

Optimization of Selective Epitaxial Growth of Silicon in LPCVD

Selective epitaxial growth (SEG) of silicon has attracted considerable attention for its good electrical properties and advantages in building microstructures in high‐density devices. However, SEG problems, such as an unclear process window, selectivity loss, and nonuniformity have often made application difficult. In our study, we derived processing diagrams for SEG from thermodynamics on gas‐phase reactions so that we could predict the SEG process zone for low pressure chemical vapor deposition. In addition, with the help of both the concept of the effective supersaturation ratio and three kinds of E‐beam patterns, we evaluated and controlled selectivity loss and nonuniformity in SEG, which is affected by the loading effect. To optimize the SEG process, we propose two practical methods: One deals with cleaning the wafer, and the other involves inserting dummy active patterns into the wide insulator to prevent the silicon from nucleating.
