TCAD Based Analysis of Gate Leakage Current for High-k Gate Stack MOSFETIDES Editor
Scaling of metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors
to smaller dimensions has been a key driving force in the IC
industry. This work analysis the gate leakage current behavior
of nano scale MOSFET based on TCAD simulation. The
Sentaurus Simulator simulates the high-k gate stack structure
of N-MOSFET for analysis purpose. The impact of interfacial
oxide thickness on the gate tunneling current has been
investigated as a function of gate voltages for a given equivalent
oxide thickness (EOT) of 1.0 nm. It was reported in the results
that interfacial oxide thickness plays an important role in
reducing the gate leakage current. It is also observed that high-
k stack gated MOSFET exhibits improved performance in term
of Off current and DIBL

The one hallmark that typifies the evolution of integrated circuit technology is the relentless move towards faster clock speeds and smaller geometries. The foremost test facing chipmakers today is how to continue to drive this process forward, extending Moore’s Law in the face of fundamental obstacles. The two areas which are providing the biggest hurdles to IC manufacturing today (1) are trying to scale lithography, and (2) scaling interconnect technology into the sub-22 nanometer range.
A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope is commonly used to monitor the angular rate of a moving body due to its benefits. The most promising advantages include its small size, low cost, and a high degree of integration. MEMS gyroscope has different fabrication processes and micromachining techniques. LIGA (Lithography-Galvanoformung-Abformung), bulk micromachining, surface micromachining, Silicon-on-glass (SOG) and Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) are the known fabrication techniques for MEMS gyroscope. This paper systematically reviewed the fabrication techniques used to fabricate the MEMS gyroscope. The current review paper also focuses on the performance of MEMS gyroscope which included several recent developments. For the conclusion of results, the variable typically used is the rate of turn (°/s) for MEMS angular rate sensors with respect to bandwidth frequency. Finally based on the review some analysis on fabrication technology, key principles, and performance parameters are discussed.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

3. Integrated circuits
An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also
referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set
of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip")
of semiconductor material that is normally silicon. The
integration of large numbers of tiny MOS transistors into a
small chip results in circuits that are orders of magnitude
smaller, faster, and less expensive than those constructed of
discrete electronic components.
