文摘To address the challenges of complexity,power consumption,and cost constraints in traditional display driver integrated circuits(DDICs)caused by external NOR Flash and SRAM,this work proposes an embedded resistive random-access memory(RRAM)integration solution based on a 40 nm high-voltage CMOS logic platform.Targeting the yield fluctuations and stability challenges during RRAM mass production,systematic process optimizations are implemented to achieve synergistic improvements in RRAM performance and yield.Through modifications to the film sputtering and pre-deposition treatment,the withinwafer resistance uniformity(RSU)of the oxygen-deficient layer(ODL)thin film is improved from 11%to 8%,while inter-wafer process stability variation reduces from 23%to below 6%.Consequently,the yield of 8 Mb RRAM embedded mass production products increases from 87%to 98.5%.In terms of device performance,the RRAM demonstrates a fast 4.8 ns read speed,exceptional read disturb immunity of 3×10^(8) cycles at 95℃,10^(3) write/erase endurance cycles for the 1 Mb cells,and data retention of 12.5 years at 125℃.Post high-temperature operating life(HTOL)testing exhibits stable high/low resistance window.This study provides process optimization strategies and a reliability assurance framework for the mass production of highly integrated,low-power embedded RRAM display driver IC.

文摘Rotating Single-Baseline Interferometer(RSBI)systems have attracted considerable attention for Direct Position Determination(DPD)due to their simplicity and high localization accuracy.Nevertheless,the growing complexity of electromagnetic environments has led to scenarios with multiple time-frequency aliased sources,rendering conventional DPD methods for RSBI systems ineffective.Previous studies have predominantly concentrated on deploying antenna arrays and applying related signal-processing techniques for localization.Typically,these approaches necessitate that the number of physical antennas exceeds the number of sources.For RSBI systems already in practical operation,this would entail the installation of additional physical antennas,which implies equipment recycling and hardware upgrades.In numerous cases,such modifications are unfeasible.This paper proposes a novel Relative Offset-based Direct Position Determination(RO-DPD)method for RSBI systems that can handle multiple time-frequency aliased sources.The proposed method overcomes the challenge of simultaneous positioning without requiring hardware modifications by leveraging time accumulation and algorithmic enhancements.The implementation of the method involves three key steps.Firstly,the rotation of the interferometer is synthesized into a virtual Uniform Circular Array(UCA).Secondly,a novel estimation variable,termed relative offset,is introduced.The variable serves as an intermediate parameter to establish correlation equations between the positions of multiple time-frequency aliased sources and the intercepted signals.Thirdly,the relative offset model in the UCA is transformed into a virtual Uniform Linear Array(ULA)model,from which the cost function can be derived via the Spatial Smoothing(SS)MUSIC algorithm.Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.Compared with traditional approaches,the RO-DPD method maintains the low complexity of RSBI systems while demonstrating robust performance in complex electromagnetic environments.

文摘Improving plasma uniformity is a critical issue in the development of large-area radio-frequency(RF)inductively coupled plasma(ICP)sources.In this work,the effects of coil structure and electromagnetic shielding on the spatial distribution and uniformity of the plasma are systematically investigated using a three-dimensional fluid model.The model integrates plasma and electromagnetic field modules to simulate the discharge characteristics of a large-area RF ICP source with dimensions of 100 cm×50 cm.The results reveal that the electron density distribution varies significantly with the coil structure.For the rotating and translating coil structures,the electron density is high at off-axis positions and low at the center.In contrast,the mirror coil structure exhibits a significantly higher electron density at the chamber center,resulting in a high-center and low-edge density distribution.Among the three configurations,the rotating coil structure provides the best plasma uniformity.The incorporation of electromagnetic shielding further improves plasma uniformity,particularly for the mirror coil structure.For the rotating and translating coil structures,the electron density exhibits a saddle-shaped distribution regardless of electromagnetic shielding.However,introducing electromagnetic shielding into the mirror coil structure reduces the electron density at the chamber center and decreases the non-uniformity degree by 18.4%.Overall,the mirror coil structure with electromagnetic shielding achieves the highest uniformity,with an exceptional plasma uniformity of 94%.This work offers valuable insights for the design of large-area ICP sources in advanced plasma processing systems.

文摘Achieving uniform X-ray irradiation in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion(ICF)is a key challenge for successful capsule implosion.Spherical hohlraums,particularly those with octahedral laser entrance holes(LEHs),are an alternative to the cylindrical hohlraums currently considered for ICF at NIF(USA)and LMJ(France).These spherical hohlraums are advantageous in terms of irradiation uniformity on the fusion capsule because,owing to their octahedral symmetry,low-order asymmetries cancel out intrinsically.However,they may be less favorable from an energetic point of view,primarily owing to radiation losses through their multiple LEHs.The net balance of these advantages and disadvantages is difficult to determine,because,unlike cylindrical hohlraums,they require fully 3D modeling.To address this,a new version of the MULTI-3D simulation code has been developed.MULTI-3D is a 3D radiation-hydrodynamics code with arbitrary Langrangian-Eulerian(ALE)hydrodynamics,multigroup SN radiation transport,and ray-tracing laser deposition.Using this tool,several aspects of the behavior of spherical hohlraums have been analyzed,with special attention to phenomena inaccessible to 2D modeling.In these targets,laser beams strike the inner walls at very oblique angles,and the expansion of plasma significantly alters the locations where primary X rays are produced.Furthermore,the complex distribution of laser hot spots leads to mutual interactions,where plasma bubbles from one beam intersect the path of another.The laser-to-X-ray energy conversion efficiency has been analyzed as a function of key parameters.The symmetry on the capsule has also been evaluated,revealing nonuniformities of less than 1%.

文摘The(010)orientation ofβ-Ga_(2)O_(3)is a highly promising platform for next-generation lateral power electronics due to its superior theoretical transport properties.However,progress has been impeded by the unavailability of large-area substrates,limiting studies to small-scale samples.Leveraging the recent emergence of 2-inch wafers,we report the first demonstration of homoepitaxial growth on a 2-inch,Fe-doped semi-insulating(010)β-Ga_(2)O_(3)substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD).A systematic,wafer-scale characterization reveals the successful growth of a highquality epitaxial film.High-resolution x-ray diffraction shows an excellent crystalline structure,with a rocking curve full-width ranging from 21.0 arcsec to 103.0 arcsec.Atomic force microscopy confirms an atomically smooth surface with a root-mean-square roughness below 1.53 nm,displaying a distinct step-flow growth mode across the wafer.Furthermore,mercury-probe capacitance-voltage mapping indicates a well-controlled carrier concentration of~2×10~(18)cm~(-3)with a RSD of 5.12%.This work provides the first comprehensive assessment of 2-inch(010)Ga_(2)O_(3)epitaxial wafers,validating a critical material platform for the development and future manufacturing of high-performance power devices.

文摘Recently,uniform circular array(UCA)based orbital angular momentum(OAM)beam steering schemes have been proposed to overcome the limitations of coaxial transmission.Unlike the traditional multiple-input-multiple-output(MIMO)beam steering,OAM beam steering includes both the OAM generation and the beam steering.Generally,the true time delay(TTD)or the phase shifter(PS)are required for beam steering in the radio domain.Previous studies suggest that TTD is preferred for wideband MIMO beam steering to avoid beam squint caused by PS.However,in this paper,we theoretically prove that to generate the OAM beam ideally,PS should be used,while TTD deteriorates the mode orthogonality,which is influenced by the relative bandwidth.Once the ideal OAM beam is generated,TTD is required to prevent beam squint.Based on this analysis,we propose to use the two-stage phase-shifting(TSPS)architecture for OAM beam steering:PS for OAM generation and TTD for beam steering.Simulation results suggest that compared to the spectrum efficiency(SE)of PS based OAM communication,the SE based on the TTD significantly declines as the relative bandwidth increases.Furthermore,OAM beam steering using the TSPS architecture greatly outperforms systems that adopt a single TTD or PS network.

文摘The suppression of ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability(ARTI)by a spatially modulated laser in inertial confinement fusion(ICF)is studied through numerical simulations.The results show that in the acceleration phase of ICF implosion,the growth of ARTI can be suppressed by using a short-wavelength spatially modulated laser.The ARTI growth rate decreases as the wavelength of the spatially modulated laser decreases,and ARTI is completely suppressed after a certain wavelength has been reached.A spatially uniform laser is introduced to keep the state of motion of the implosion fluid consistent,and it is found that the proportion of the spatially modulated laser required for complete suppression of ARTI decreases as the wavelength continues to decrease.We also optimize the spatial intensity distribution of the spatially modulated laser.In addition,as the duration of the spatially modulated laser decreases,the proportion required for completely suppressing ARTI increases,but the required energy decreases.When the perturbation wavenumber decreases,the wavelength of the spatially modulated laser required for complete suppression of ARTI becomes longer.In the case of multimode perturbation,ARTI can also be significantly suppressed by a spatially modulated laser,and the perturbation amplitude can be reduced to less than 10% of that without a spatially modulated laser.We believe that the conclusions drawn from our simulations can provide the basis for new approaches to control ARTI in ICF.
