Effective improvement of high-k Hf-silicate/silicon interface with thermal nitridation

The electrical properties of polysilicon gate MOS capacitors with hafnium silicate (HfSiO) dielectric, with and without NH/sub 3/ nitridation, were investigated. The results show that with NH/sub 3/ nitridation prior to deposition of HfSiO can effectively tune the flatband voltage close to that of conventional oxide and significantly improve the leakage properties over SiO/sub 2/ (three orders reduction). Furthermore, the excellent interface quality has been evidenced by the result of immunity against soft breakdown with NH/sub 3/ nitridation.     

Optimal availability design of maintainable systems: illustrated with example of power systems

The theory of reliability optimum link allocation (ROLA) is a theory through which the ROLA in a system can be achieved in accordance with the reliability size relations of the system's links. This paper deals with its theory and application in maintainable systems after the reliability index has been extended into the availability index. In conclution its feasibility has been proved with the illustration of a pratical power system.

QoS-oriented packet scheduling scheme for opportunistic networks

The unique characteristics of opportunistic networks (ONs), such as intermittent connectivity and limited network resources, makes it difficult to support quality of service (QoS) provisioning, particularly to guarantee delivery ratio and delivery delay. In this paper, we propose a QoS-oriented packet scheduling scheme (QPSS) to make decisions for bundle transmissions to satisfy the needs for the delivery ratio and delivery delay constraints of bundles. Different from prior works, a novel bundle classification method based on the reliability and latency requirements is utilized to decide the traffic class of bundles. A scheduling algorithm of traffic class and bundle redundancy is used to maintain a forwarding and dropping priority queue and allocate network resources in QPSS. Simulation results indicate that our scheme not only achieves a higher overall delivery ratio but also obtains an approximate 14% increase in terms of the amount of eligible bundles.

Blind 2-D Angles of Arrival Estimation for Distributed Signals Using L-Shaped Arrays

Most existing two dimensional（2-D）angles of arrival（AOAs）estimation methods are based on the assumption that the signal sources are point sources.However,in mobile communications,local scattering in the vicinity of the mobile results in angular spreading as seen from a base station antenna array.In this paper,we consider the problem of estimating the 2-D AOAs of spatially distributed sources.First we perform blind estimation of the steering vectors by exploiting joint diagonalization,then the 2-D AOAs are obtained through two fast Fourier transforming of the estimated steering vectors.Simulations are carried out to illustrate the performance of the method.
