We compared and analyzed ASER (Accelerated Soft Error Rate) for cell structures and metal plate capacitance in the fabricated 16M SRAM. Application of the BNW (Buried NWELL) lowered the ASER value compared to the normal well structure. By applying the metal plate capacitor with the BNW, the lowest ASER value can be obtained. The thinner oxide thickness of the metal plate capacitor provides higher capacitance and lower ASER value. The ASER is improved from 2200 FIT to 1000 FIT after sole application of the BNW. However, it is dramatically improved to 15 FIT once the metal plate capacitor is additionally applied.

Recently embedded passive technology which fabricate passive elements such as resistors and capacitors at the inner layer of PCB(Printed Circuit Board) is used to make high performance IT products. However, embedded capacitor has limit in full range circuit applications because of the low capacitance density. In this paper, a new embedded capacitor which has wrinkled electrodes and dielectric layer was proposed to overcome the limits. FEM(Finite Elements Method) technique was used to evaluate capacitance density of the wrinkled type embedded capacitor. Capacitance density of the wrinkled type embedded capacitor is larger than that of conventional planar type embedded capacitor by about 25.6%$\sim$39.6%. In case of thin film type embedded capacitor, proposed wrinkled structure has more enhanced effect on the capacitance density.

The capacitance technique was used to measure the minimum oil film thickness in engine bearing and the central oil film thickness between cam and tappet. This method is based on the measurement of total capacitance of oil film. For the measurement of the oil film thickness between cam and tappet, two surfaces were assumed to be flat and parallel within the Hertzian region and all the measured capacitance originated from this region. Shear rates from the measured minimum oil film thickness are over 10$^{6}$ sec$^{-1}$ in the greater part in both two cases. The minimum oil film thickness in engine bearing is larger than the surface roughness. Between cam and tappet it is mostly smaller than the surface roughness. In spite of the awkward restriction of the reliability of measured oil film thickness, it was known that the capacitance technique makes it possible to measure the oil film thickness in elastohydrodynamic and mixed lubrication regimes as well as in hydrodynamic regime. Therefore, it is also possible to classify the lubrication regimes based on the oil film thickness.

One of the major problems in glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composite pipes is the durability under water absorption. This condition is generally recognized to cause degradations in strength and mechanical properties. Therefore, there is a need for an intelligent system for detecting the absorption rate and computing the mass of water absorption (M%) as a function of absorption time (t). The present work represents a new non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique for detecting the water absorption rate by evaluating the dielectric properties of glass fiber and epoxy resin composite pipes subjected to internal hydrostatic pressure at room temperature. The variation in the dielectric signatures is employed to design an electrical capacitance sensor (ECS) with high sensitivity to detect such defects. ECS consists of twelve electrodes mounted on the outer surface of the pipe. Radius-electrode ratio is defined as the ratio of inner and outer radius of pipe. A finite element (FE) simulation model is developed to measure the capacitance values and node potential distribution of ECS electrodes on the basis of water absorption rate in the pipe material as a function of absorption time. The arrangements for positioning12-electrode sensor parameters such as capacitance, capacitance change and change rate of capacitance are analyzed by ANSYS and MATLAB to plot the mass of water absorption curve against absorption time (t). An analytical model based on a Fickian diffusion model is conducted to predict the saturation level of water absorption ($M_S$) from the obtained mass of water absorption curve. The FE results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results and experimental results available in the literature, thus, validating the accuracy and reliability of the proposed expert system.

In this paper, we were designed the ferroelectric phase shifter using 3-dB, $90^{\circ}$ branch-line hybrid coupler with two ports terminated in symmetric phase-controllable reflective networks. The design of phase shifter is based on reflection theory of terminating circuits. In order to find the optimum conditions of reflect phase, the effect of a change of capacitance and transmission line connected with two coupled ports of a coupler have been investigated. To obtain more accurate design parameters, finite element method is applied. We were showed large phase variation with small capacitance variation in the parallel connection of capacitor and transmission line by using EM-simulation and circuit-simulation.

This paper presents the operational characteristics of a high voltage flyback converter with resonant elements. In high voltage low power applications, the effect of a transformer’s stray capacitance might be the most important factor that influences the overall performance of the circuit. A detailed mode analysis and the design procedure are presented in designing the high voltage flyback converter. To verify and confirm the validities of the presented analysis and design procedure, a computer simulation and experiments have been performed.

This paper presents the development of a collocated capacitance sensor and its application to the decentralized PID controller design for 4-axis magnetic bearing system. The main feature of the sensor is that it is made of a compact printed circuit board (PCB) so that it can be built in to the actuator coil of the magnetic bearing unit. The signal processing unit has been also developed. Then, decentralized PED controller is designed using simplified rotor system model. Finally, the experimental results on the performance of the collocated sensor based decentralized PID controller for a magnetic bearing rotor system is presented.

In this paper we propose a model which can predict well the logical errors come from the charge redistribution in domino gates. In this model the effect of the intrinsic capacitance between gate and channel of MOSFET's is considered. This effect is more important than the parasitic capacitance effect. The error by the proposed model is only 8% of that by the currently used model. This model can be used as a guide-line in the design of domino circuits.

This work presents a method used for designing a broadband class-E power amplifier that combines the two techniques of a nonlinear shunt capacitance and a low quality factor of a series resonator. The nonlinear shunt capacitance theory accurately extracts the value of class-E components. In addition, the quality factor of the series resonator was considered to obtain a wide bandwidth for the power amplifiers. The purpose of using this method was to produce a simple topology and a high efficiency, which are two outstanding features of a class-E power amplifier. The experimental results show that a design was created using from a 130 to 180 MHz frequency with a bandwidth of 32% and a peak measured power added efficiency of 84.8%. This prototype uses an MRF282SR1 MOSFET transistor at a 3-W output power level. Furthermore, a summary of the experimental results compared with other high-efficiency articles is provided to validate the advantages of this method.
