ABSTRACTIn this paper, the variation in device parameters is investigated with respect to temperature by considering the combination of HfO2-SiO2 on 4H-SiC n-IGBT. Two-dimensional numerical simulations using Setaurus TCAD have been performed to analyze the changes in static and dynamic characteristics. The switching waveforms have been analyzed using a clamped inductive circuit with and without HfO2. It seems that the presence of HfO2 in the dielectric stack has a considerable impact on the device turn off time.

The two-dimensional pressure control valve is a piloted control valve which functions by using both linear and rotary motions of a single spool. A groove on the spool land, incorporating a sensing channel, forms the pilot stage to control the pressure of a spool chamber, while the load pressure is fed to the other spool chamber. To sustain the balance of the force across the spool, the load pressure must follow the change of pressure variation along the groove while the spool is in rotary motion. The geometric parameters of the groove and the spool-to-sleeve clearance have significant effects on both the static and dynamic characteristics of the valve. Increasing the sectional size of the groove results in a large Reynolds number and the static property of the valve thus changes from that of linearity owing to the entrance effect. The linearity of the static property is also affected by the leakage through the spool-to-sleeve clearance. The dynamic characteristics of the valve are dependent upon both the structural parameters and the tune constant of the load. The stability and dynamic response were investigated under different structural parameters and time constants of the load using both linear theory and simulation methods. Experiments were designed to obtain the static and dynamic characteristics of the valve and the leakage through the pilot. A balance should be made between the linearity of the static property and the response speed; it was found that both fairly linear static and desired dynamic characteristics could be simultaneously maintained for the two-dimensional pressure control valve.

AbstractFunction elements (FE) are vital components of nanochannel-systems for artificially regulating ion transport. Conventionally, the FE at inner wall (FEIW) of nanochannel−systems are of concern owing to their recognized effect on the compression of ionic passageways. However, their properties are inexplicit or generally presumed from the properties of the FE at outer surface (FEOS), which will bring potential errors. Here, we show that the FEOS independently regulate ion transport in a nanochannel−system without FEIW. The numerical simulations, assigned the measured parameters of FEOS to the Poisson and Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations, are well fitted with the experiments, indicating the generally explicit regulating-ion-transport accomplished by FEOS without FEIW. Meanwhile, the FEOS fulfill the key features of the pervious nanochannel systems on regulating-ion-transport in osmotic energy conversion devices and biosensors, and show advantages to (1) promote power density through concentrating FE at outer surface, bringing increase of ionic selectivity but no obvious change in internal resistance; (2) accommodate probes or targets with size beyond the diameter of nanochannels. Nanochannel-systems with only FEOS of explicit properties provide a quantitative platform for studying substrate transport phenomena through nanoconfined space, including nanopores, nanochannels, nanopipettes, porous membranes and two-dimensional channels.
