Reducing vulnerability to soft errors in sub-100 nm content addressable memory circuits

We first study the impacts of soft errors on various types of CAM for different feature sizes. After presenting a soft error immune CAM cell, SSB-RCAM, we propose two kinds of reliable CAM, DCF-RCAM and DCK-RCAM.In addition, we present an ignore mechanism to protect dual cell redundancy CAMs against soft errors. Experimental results indicate that the 11T-NOR CAM cell has an advantage in soft error immunity. Based on 11T-NOR, the proposed reliable CAMs reduce the SER by about 81% on average with acceptable overheads. The SER of dual cell redundancy CAMs can also be decreased using the ignore mechanism in specific applications.

超结硅锗功率二极管电学特性的研究

超结SiGe功率开关二极管可以克服常规Si功率二极管存在的一些缺陷,如阻断电压增大的同时,正向导通压降也将增大,反向恢复时间也变长。该新型功率二极管有两个重要特点:一是由轻掺杂的p型柱和n型柱相互交替形成超结结构,代替传统功率二极管的n-基区;二是p+区采用很薄的应变SiGe材料。该器件可以同时实现高阻断电压、低正向压降和快速恢复的电学特性。与相同器件厚度的常规Si功率二极管相比较,反向阻断电压提高了42%,反向恢复时间缩短了40%,正向压降减小了约0.1V(正向电流密度为100A/cm2时)。应变SiGe层中Ge含量和器件的基区厚度是影响超结SiGe二极管电学特性的重要参数,详细分析了该材料参数和结构参数对正向导通特性、反向阻断特性和反向恢复特性的影响,为器件结构设计提供了实用的参考价值。     

High solid content latex: Preparation methods and application

One of the major challenges in emulsion polymerization over the past two decades was how to increase the solid content of latex products. In contrast to the conventional latex, high solid content (HSC) latex has a large volume fraction of dispersed phase, even larger than 70% in weight. Conventional emulsion polymerization, miniemulsion polymerization, self-emulsification polymerization and concentrated emulsion polymerization were all used to prepare HSC latexes, and many good results have been reported in recent years. Meanwhile, many applications of HSC latexes have also been developed. The present review summarized the progresses in the past few years mainly on the preparation methods and application of HSC latexes. Finally, some research directions as well as prospects were also proposed.     

Site-specific ϕ- and ψ-torsion angle determination in a uniformly/extensively 13C- and 15N-labeled peptide

A solid-state rotational-echo double resonance (REDOR) NMR method was introduced to identify the ?- and ψ-torsion angle from a ¹H–¹⁵N or ¹H–¹³C′ spin system of alanine-like residues in a selectively, uniformly, or extensively ¹⁵N-/¹³C-labeled peptide. When a C_α(i) or a ¹⁵N peak is site-specifically obtainable in the NMR spectrum of a uniformly ¹⁵N/¹³C-labeled sample system, the ψ- or ?-torsion angle specified by the conformational structure of peptide geometry involving ¹⁵N(i)–¹H_αi–¹⁵N(i + 1) or ¹³C′(i − 1)–¹H^Ni–¹³C′(i) spin system can be identified based on ¹³C_α- or ¹⁵N-detected ¹H_α–¹⁵N or ¹H_N–¹³C REDOR experiment. This method will conveniently be utilized to identify major secondary motifs, such as α-helix, β-sheet, and β-turn, from a uniformly ¹⁵N-/¹³C-labled peptide sample system. When tested on a ¹³C-/¹⁵N-labeled model system of a three amino acid peptide Gly–[U–¹³C, ¹⁵N]Ala–[U–¹³C, ¹⁵N]Leu, the ψ-angle of alanine obtained experimentally, ψ = −40 ± 30°, agreed reasonably well with the X-ray determined angle, ψ = −39°.     

基于高光谱热红外发射率光谱的地表岩石CaO含量定量估计

通过对西藏冈底斯山东段23种岩石固体样本的野外发射率光谱测量,分别分析了这些样本的CaO含量与热红外发射率原始光谱和一阶微分光谱的相关关系。在此基础上,建立了几种典型的回归模型,并对各种建模结果进行了比较。结果表明,利用高光谱热红外发射率光谱反演地表岩石CaO的含量是可行的;地表岩石CaO含量与热红外发射率光谱特征之间有较好的对应关系;在10.3～13μm波长范围内,岩石的发射率随CaO的含量增加而降低;相比原始发射率光谱,一阶微分光谱具有更好的预测效果。结果为遥感岩矿识别提供了一种新的思路。     

Composition, microstructure, and properties of CrNx films deposited using medium frequency magnetron sputtering

CrN_x films were deposited on stainless steel and Si (1 1 1) substrates via medium frequency magnetron sputtering in a N₂ + Ar mixed atmosphere. The influence of N₂ content on the deposition rate, composition, microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of the as-deposited films was investigated by means of the X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), nanoindentation and tribometer testing. It was found that the N atomic concentration increased and the phase transformed from a mixture of Cr₂N + Cr(N) to single-phase Cr₂N, and then Cr₂N + CrN to pure CrN phase with the increase of N₂ content. The Cr 2p_3/2 and N 1s of XPS spectra also confirmed the evolution of phase. Accordingly, all films exhibited a typical columnar structure which lies in the zone T of Thornton Model. The mixed Cr₂N and Cr(N) phases showed low hardness and high friction coefficient. Cr₂N possessed higher hardness than CrN while CrN exhibited lower friction coefficient.     

Cotton fabric coated with nano TiO2-acrylate copolymer for photocatalytic self-cleaning by in-situ suspension polymerization

Two kinds of nano TiO₂-polyacrylate hybrid dispersions, TBM-w and TBM-e were synthesized by in-situ suspension polymerization and solution polymerization respectively, in order to fix the nano TiO₂ on fabrics. The photocatalytic self-cleaning fabrics have received much attention in recent years for its water-saving and environment-protection advantages. However, the fixation of the photocatalyst on fabrics is still a key problem that inhibits industrialization of these eco-friendly fabrics. The cotton fabric was treated by the two hybrid dispersions. The photocatalytic self-cleaning property was characterized. Infrared spectroscopy, burning loss test and thermogravimetry showed that some copolymer chains entangled with the nano TiO₂. Transmission electron microscope illustrated that there was a polymeric layer on the surface of nano TiO₂. The average diameter of TBM-w was smaller than that of TBM-e based on size analysis. The photocatalytic decoloration of the grape syrup indicated that the fabric with TiO₂-polymer hybrid had excellent self-cleaning property.     

Evidence for shape coexistence at medium spin in Rb

Four previously known rotational bands in ⁷⁶Rb have been extended to moderate spins using the Gammasphere and Microball γ ray and charged particle detector arrays and the ⁴⁰Ca(⁴⁰Ca, 3pn) reaction at a beam energy of 165 MeV. The properties of two of the negative-parity bands can only readily be interpreted in terms of the highly successful Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model calculations if they have the same configuration in terms of the number of g9/2 particles, but they result from different nuclear shapes (one near-oblate and the other near-prolate). These data appear to constitute a unique example of shape coexisting structures at medium spins.
