A new 600 V dual gate transistor employing thyristor action, which incorporates floating PN junction and trench gate IGBT, is proposed to improve the forward current-voltage characteristics and the short circuit ruggedness. Our two-dimensional numerical simulation shows that the proposed device exhibits low forward voltage drop and eliminates the snapback phenomena compared with conventional trench gate IGBT and EST The proposed device achieves high current saturation characteristics by separating floating N+ emitter and cathode. The proposed device achieves low saturation current value compared with conventional devices, and the short-circuit ruggedness is improved. The proposed device may be suitable for the use of high voltage switching applications.

본, 연구는 새로운 기체방전 AND gate를 AC 3전극 면방전 PDP에 적용하기 위한 AC-DC floating 방전을 사용한 어드레스 구동특성을 해석한 것이다. 실험결과 floating 방전을 이용하여 어드레스 방전을 개시시킬 수 있었으며 표시방전까지 용이하게 동작시킬 수가 있었다. 또한 floating 방전과 타이밍을 동기시켜 보조전극에 프라이밍 방전을 일으켜 줌으로써 floating 방전 공간에 공간전하를 충분히 공급해 줌으로써 데이터 전압을 100V 정도까지 낮출 수 있었으며 어드레스 동작 마진도 100V 정도까지 얻을 수가 있었다.

The devices based on electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) structure are proposed for the detection of external electric charges. A large size charge contact window (CCW) extended from the floating gate is employed to immobilize external charges, and a control gate with stacked metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is adapted for a standard single polysilicon CMOS process. When positive voltage is applied to the capacitor of CCW of an n-channel EEPROM, the drain current increases due to the negative shift of its threshold voltage. Also when a pre-charged external capacitor is directly connected to the floating gate metal of CCW, the positive charges of the external capacitor make the drain current increase for n-channel, whereas the negative charges cause it to decrease. For an p-channel, however, the opposite behaviors are observed by the external voltage and charges. With the attachment of external charges to the CCW of EEPROM inverter, the characteristic inverter voltage behavior shifts from the reference curve dependent on external charge polarity. Therefore, we have demonstrated that the EEPROM inverter is capable of detecting external immobilized charges on the floating gate. and these devices are applicable to sensing the pH's or biomolecular reactions.

There generally exists a large variation in the thereshold voltages of the flash EEPROM cells after they are erased by using th fowler-nordheim tunneling, thereby getting some cells to be overeased. If the overerased cells are programmed with the conventional one-step programming scheme where an 12-13V pulse with the duration of 100.mu.S is applie don the control gate for the programming, they can suffer from the significant degradation of the reliability of the gate oxide. A two-step programming schem, where an 8/12 V pulse with a duration of 50.mu.S for each voltage is applied on the control gate for the programming, has been studied to solve the problem. The experimental results hav eshown that there is little difference in the programming characteristics between those two schemes, whereas the degradation of the gate oxide due to the programming can be significantly reduced with the two-step programming scheme compared to that with the one-step programming scheme. This is possibly because the positive charge stored in the floating gate of the overerased cells is compensate dwith the electrons injected into the floating gate while the 8V pulse is applied on the control gate, which leaves the overerased cells in the normally erased state after the duration of the 8V pulse.

본 연구에서는 새로 고안된 AND gate PDP의 AND gate를 구성하는 4개의 DC 방전셀에 대한 상호간의 영향을 방전특성 측면에서 규명하였다. 이 4개의 방전셀들의 방전개시 전압은 인접한 방전셀의 방전에서 발생하는 공간전하와 깊은 관련이 있다는 것을 알았다. 실험 결과 각 방전셀의 최적화된 방전 전압을 결정할 수 있었으며 PDP의 address 방전에 이용되는 floating 방전을 도와주는 priming 방전의 동작마진을 얻기가 어렵다는 것을 정석적으로 알 수 있었다.

With the recent emergence of foldable electronic devices, interest in flexible organic memory is significantly growing. There are three types of flexible organic memory that have been researched so far: floating-gate (FG) memory, ferroelectric field-effect-transistor (FeFET) memory, and resistive memory. Herein, performance parameters and operation mechanisms of each type of memory device are introduced, along with a brief summarization of recent research progress in flexible organic memory.

Recently, a novel multi-bit nonvolatile memory based on double gate (DG) MOSFET is proposed to overcome the short channel effects and to increase the memory density. We need more complex voltage schemes for DG MOSFET devices. In view of peripheral circuits driving memory cells, one should consider various voltage sources used for several operations. It is one of the key issues to minimize the number of voltage sources. This criterion needs more caution in considering a DG nonvolatile memory cell that inevitably requires more number of events for voltage sources. Therefore figuring out the permissible range of operating bias should be preceded for reliable operation. We found that reliable operation largely depends on the depletion conditions of the silicon channel according to charge amount stored in the floating gates and the negative control gate voltages applied for read operation. We used Silvaco Atlas, a 2D numerical simulation tool as the device simulator.

In this study, we synthesized Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) thin films using a simple annealing process in the solid phase. The synthetic conditions were systematically controlled and optimized by varying the concentration of the Au salt solution and the annealing temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed their chemical state, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) verified the successful synthesis, size, and density of AuNPs. Au nanoparticles were generated from the thermal decomposition of the Au salt and stabilized during the cyclization of the PAN matrix. For actual device applications, previous synthetic techniques have required the synthesis of AuNPs in a liquid phase and an additional process to form the thin film layer, such as spin-coating, dip-coating, Langmuir-Blodgett, or high vacuum deposition. In contrast, our one-step synthesis could produce gold nanoparticles from the Au salt contained in a solid matrix with an easy heat treatment. The PAN:AuNPs composite was used as the charge trap layer of an organic nano-floating gate memory (ONFGM). The memory devices exhibited a high on/off ratio (over $10^6$), large hysteresis windows (76.7 V), and a stable endurance performance (>3000 cycles), indicating that our stabilized PAN:AuNPs composite film is a potential charge trap medium for next generation organic nano-floating gate memory transistors.

A bootstrap circuit for floating power supply has the advantage of being simple and inexpensive. However, the duty cycle and on-time are limited by the requirement to refresh the charge in the bootstrap capacitor. Hence, this paper deals with a design of charge pump circuit for a floating gate power supply of an IPM. The operation of the proposed circuit applied by three-phase inverter system for driving induction motor are verified through the experiments.
