In this work, a simple model that accounts for the variation of electron mobility as a function of the silicondielectric interface crystallographic orientation is presented. Simulations were conducted in order to compute the effective mobility of planar devices and its results were compared to experimental data for several interface orientations. The error between experimental data and the proposed model remained bellow 4%. The model has been applied to nMOS circular surrounding gate (thin-pillar transistor - CYNTHIA) and allowed the observation of current density variations as a function of the interface orientation around the silicon pillar.

In this study, the effects of uniaxial stress on n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors are investigated by experiments and numerical simulations. In the numerical evaluation, mechanical stress simulation and drift-diffusion device simulation are conducted to consider the impact of stress distribution in the device. The device simulation incorporates an electron mobility model by considering the effects of stress on the following: 1) change in relative population, 2) momentum relaxation time and 3) effective mass of electrons in conduction-band valleys. The variations in the dc characteristics (i.e., drain current and transconductance) of n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors with a gate length of 12μm are evaluated under (nominal) uniaxial stress applied to the device parallel (0°), 45° and perpendicular (90°) to the current flow direction. The results of device simulation are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental results; the device simulation including the present electron mobility model can determine the uniaxial-load-direction dependence of the stress sensitivity of the change in transconductance.

In the real world, wireless mobile devices are carried by humans. For this reason, it is useful if mobility models as simulation tools used to test routing protocols and other MANET-DTN features follow the behaviour of humans. In this paper, we propose a new social based mobility model called Students Social Based Mobility Model (SSBMM). This mobility model is inspired by the daily routine of student’s life. Since many current social based mobility models give nodes freedom in terms of movement according to social feeling and attractivity to other nodes or places, we focus more on the mandatory part of our life, such as going to work and school. In the case of students, this mandatory part of their life is studying in university according to their schedule. In their free time, they move and behave according to attractivity to other nodes or places of their origin. Finally, proposed SSBMM was tested and verified by Tools for Evaluation of Social Relation in Mobility Models and compared with random based mobility models. At the end, SSBMM was simulated to examine the impact of social relations on routing protocols.

Since E-Mobility is on the rise worldwide, large Charging Infrastructure (CI) networks are required to satisfy the upcoming Charging Demand (CD). Understanding this CD with its spatial and temporal uncertainties is important for grid operators to quantify the grid impact of Electric Vehicle integration and for Charging Station (CS) operators to assess long-term CI investments. Hence, we introduce an Agent-based E-Mobility Model assessing regional CI systems with their multi-directional interactions between CSs and vehicles. A Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) is applied to quantify the impact of 11 technical levers on 17 relevant charging system outputs. The GSA evaluates the E-Mobility integration in terms of grid impact, economic viability of CSs and Service Quality of the deployed Charging Infrastructure (SQCI). Based on this impact assessment we derive general guidelines for E-Mobility integration into regional systems. We found, inter alia, that CI policies should aim at allocating CSs across different types of locations to utilize cross-locational effects such as CSs at public locations affecting the charging peak in residential areas by up to 18%. Additionally, while improving the highway charging network is an effective lever to increase the SQCI in urban areas, public charging is an even stronger lever in rural areas.

AbstractIn this study the stress evolution for the entire transistor fabrication process is simulated and the packaging stress is modeled as the external pressure/normal stress acting on the boundaries of the transistor unit cell. The impact on device performance from both the fabrication stress and the packaging stress is investigated using a classical piezo-resistance mobility model. The effect of the packaging stress on device mobility can be either beneficial or detrimental depending on whether the stress is tensile or compressive, on stress pattern, its magnitude, and the transistor type. The results suggest that utilizing both the fabrication stress and the packaging stress for stress engineering can lead to additional device performance enhancements.

The performance of P2P content distribution in cellular networks depends highly on the cooperation and coordination of heterogeneous and often selfish mobile users. The major challenges are the identification of problems arising specifically in cellular mobile networks and the development of new cooperation strategies to overcome these problems. In the coherent previous chapter, the authors focused on the selfishness of users in such heterogeneous environments. This discussion is now extended by emphasizing the impact of mobility and vertical handover between different wireless access technologies. An abstract mobility model is required to allow the performance evaluation in feasible computational time. As a result, the performance in today’s and future cellular networks is predicted and new approaches to master heterogeneity in cellular networks are derived.

In this paper, we investigated the impact of thickness and mole fraction AlInGaN back barrier on the DC performance of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) by numerical simulation. The simulations are performed using the hydrodynamic transport model (HD). The simulation results indicated that an inserted AlInGaN back barrier with increasing thickness and mole fraction could effectively confine the electron in the channel, resulting in a significant improvement of the channel current and transconductance. Additionally, the variation of conduction band offset and the increase of total number electron in the channel led to the threshold voltage moving toward a more negative value.
