Verilog-A Device Models for Cryogenic Temperature Operation of Bulk Silicon CMOS Devices
Read More >>
These models can be used in cryogenic electronics applications such as cooled imagers and sensors, medical electronics, and remote sensing satellites.
Verilog-A based cryogenic bulk CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) compact models are built for state-ofthe- art silicon CMOS processes. These models accurately predict device operation at cryogenic ...Read More >>
Thermally Resilient, Broadband Optical Absorber From UV to IR Derived From Carbon Nanostructures
Read More >>
This technology can be used in aerospace, semiconductors, antireflection coatings, optoelectronics, and communications.
Optical absorber coatings have been developed from carbon-based paints, metal blacks, or glassy carbon. However, such materials are not truly black and have poor absorption characteristics at longer wavelengths. The blackness of such coatings is ...Read More >>
