Thermal Reliability for FinFET based Designs
Thermal reliability faces critical challenges from emerging FinFET-based designs. As designs transition from planar MOS to FinFET transistors, current density increases by 25% and that combined with lower thermal conductivity substrate and 3-D narrow fin structure, local heat gets trapped resulting in thermal-aware EM issues. This presentation introduces Sentinel-TI™, a thermal integrity platform and demonstrates how Chip Thermal Model (CTM™) based power-thermal convergence and interconnect-driven methodology help address the thermal reliability challenges associated with these design.

The document discusses the challenges of integrating photovoltaic (PV) power into electrical grids. As PV penetration increases, it can become limited by grid capacity. Storage technologies can help shift PV power from times of excess production to times of higher demand, but battery storage is currently costly. As more electric vehicles (EVs) are adopted, their batteries could provide significant additional storage capacity for the grid. New pumped hydro storage projects and improving storage technologies may help address the intermittency of renewable energy sources like PV.8 r.düpont tüv rheinland-ok
1) IEC qualification testing standards can be applied to bifacial PV modules with some modifications to test conditions that involve module current levels. Specifically, thermal cycling, hot spot, and bypass diode thermal tests need to set the test current based on the maximum total module short circuit current.
2) Maximum total module current is calculated by adding the short circuit current from 1000 W/m2 front side irradiation and 400 W/m2 rear side irradiation. Simulation studies have confirmed rear side irradiance can reach 400 W/m2 under real operating conditions.
3) Power rating for bifacial modules should refer only to front side power output, with rear side output provided as additional information.

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers ( VCSELs )
This document discusses vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). It begins by introducing VCSELs and their advantages over edge emitting lasers and LEDs. Key points include that VCSELs emit light perpendicular to the surface, allowing thousands to be processed at once on a wafer. VCSELs can also be tested throughout production to check for issues. The document then covers the history and development of VCSELs, their materials and wavelengths, operating characteristics, structure, applications, and concludes that VCSELs are now commonly used for short-range fiber optic communication due to their lower costs and higher reliability compared to edge emitters.

An efficient design of 45-nm CMOS low-noise charge sensitive amplifier for wi...
Amplifiers are widely used in signal receiving circuits, such as antennas, medical imaging, wireless devices and many other applications. However, one of the most challenging problems when building an amplifier circuit is the noise, since it affects the quality of the intended received signal in most wireless applications. Therefore, a preamplifier is usually placed close to the main sensor to reduce the effects of interferences and to amplify the received signal without degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. Although different designs have been optimized and tested in the literature, all of them are using larger than 100 nm technologies which have led to a modest performance in terms of equivalent noise charge (ENC), gain, power consumption, and response time. In contrast, we consider in this paper a new amplifier design technology trend and move towards sub 100 nm to enhance its performance. In this work, we use a pre-well-known design of a preamplifier circuit and rebuild it using 45 nm CMOS technology, which is made for the first time in such circuits. Performance evaluation shows that our proposed scaling technology, compared with other scaling technology, extremely reduces ENC of the circuit by more than 95%. The noise spectral density and time resolution are also reduced by 25% and 95% respectively. In addition, power consumption is decreased due to the reduced channel length by 90%. As a result, all of those enhancements make our proposed circuit more suitable for medical and wireless devices.

Rearden_GCC_2015
The EPA requires oil refineries to monitor benzene and other hazardous air pollutants along facility boundaries. Currently refineries use passive sampling which has limitations including being unable to identify emission sources. This document explores using a miniature ion trap mass spectrometer called iONTRAC to enable real-time ambient air monitoring as an alternative to passive sampling. An evaluation found the iONTRAC could continuously monitor benzene and ethylbenzene levels, detect emissions as far as 200 feet away, and recover baseline levels within 2 minutes, demonstrating its potential for refinery fenceline monitoring.
ASMS2012_Technical-small
A miniaturized mass spectrometer has been developed that can detect BTEX compounds in the field. It uses two sample inlet systems - a heated membrane and a pre-concentrator - to provide a wide dynamic range from ppm to pptr levels. The instrument was able to detect components of BTEX in soil samples over 14 days using both inlet systems with MS/MS for enhanced selectivity. It has potential for fast, on-site analysis of volatile organic compounds.
