The ability to detect single photons (the smallest energy packets constituting electromagnetic radiation) in the infrared range has become a pressing need across numerous fields, from medical imaging ...

The impact of strain, induced by nanoindentation, on integrated circuit performance is measured. Localized strain caused by chip- package interaction alters the charge carrier mobility in the ...

The self-heat effects in integrated circuits have great impact on circuit performance and power consumption. Based on HSPICE circuit simulator and improved Hot-Spot thermal analysis, this paper ...
