Abstract:
A method for selecting transistor design parameters. A first set of simulations is used to calculate leakage current at a plurality of sets of design parameter values, and the results are fitted with a first response surface methodology model. The first model is used to generate a function that returns a value of a selected design parameter, for which a leakage current specification is just met. A second set of simulations is used to calculate effective drive current for a plurality of sets of design parameter values, and the results are fitted with a second response surface methodology model. The second model is used, together with the first, to search for a set of design parameter values at which a worst-case effective drive current is greatest, subject to the constraint of meeting the worst-case leakage current specification.
Abstract:
A method and electronic device for processing an image in an electronic device. The method includes predicting the number of surfaces which can be partitioned in image data; determining an inverse distortion rendering method corresponding to the predicted number of surfaces as a method for inverse distortion rendering of the image data; rendering the image data to a distorted image based on the determined inverse distortion rendering method; and displaying the distorted image.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a p-type MOSFET includes depositing a channel material to form a channel region, forming a source region and a drain region on each side of the channel region along a first direction, depositing a gate oxide layer on the channel region along a second direction crossing the first direction, and depositing a gate electrode on the gate oxide. The channel material includes a group IV element or III-V semiconductor compound and have a diamond or zincblende cubic crystal structure. A direction of the crystal structure is parallel to the second direction. Two adjacent atoms on an out-most atomic layer of the channel region along the first direction are connected to each other via a single intervening atom, and an interface between the gate oxide layer and the channel region has a surface roughness of 1 angstrom or lower.
