Lead-acid batteries are indispensable in various applications, and monitoring their status is crucial. However, the existing sensing units for lead-acid batteries are limited by their bulky size, slow response time, and lack of temperature sensing and compensation capabilities. This work proposes a compact GaN-based sensing device to simultaneously measure electrolyte density and temperature. The device comprises a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector (PD) integrated on a GaN-on-sapphire chip in a monolithic configuration. The forward voltage of the LED reflects the electrolyte temperature, while the photocurrent of the PD varies with electrolyte density due to optical reflection changes at the exposed sapphire interface. The measured signals are processed using a decoupling matrix to achieve temperature compensation. The device exhibits a sensitivity of -29.1 μA/(g/cm 3 ) for density in the range of 1.09 g/cm 3 to 1.29 g/cm 3 , and -1.07 mV/°C for temperature in the range of 25 °C to 45 °C. The performance of the device is also validated through comparisons with commercial meters and real-time monitoring during the charging and discharging of the batteries. The device has notable advantages in size, cost, and fast response/recovery time (134.3/201.4 ms), rendering it a promising tool for monitoring lead-acid batteries.

This paper presents the 3 Me V proton irradiation results of a 16 Mb commercial MRAM. The total ionizing dose(TID) effects induced by proton irradiaton and the following room temperature annealing behaviors are analyzed in detail. Read bit errors and electrical failures were observed when the proton fluence was accumulated to 2.5×10 particles/cm. The peripheral circuits are more sensitive to proton irradiation. These results are useful for hardening MRAM designs aiming at space-borne applications.

Three-dimensional(3D) crossbar array architecture is one of the leading candidates for future ultra-high density nonvolatile memory applications. To realize the technological potential, understanding the reliability mechanisms of the3 D RRAM array has become a field of intense research. In this work, the endurance performance of the 3D 1D1 R crossbar array under the thermal effect is investigated in terms of numerical simulation. It is revealed that the endurance performance of the 3D 1D1 R array would be seriously deteriorated under thermal effects as the feature size scales down to a relatively small value. A possible method to alleviate the thermal effects is provided and verified by numerical simulation.

Graphene is a new promising candidate for application in radio-frequency (RF) electronics due to its excellent elec- tronic properties such as ultrahigh carrier mobility, large threshold current density, and high saturation velocity. Recently, much progress has been made in the graphene-based RF field-effect transistors (RF-FETs). Here we present for the first time the high-performance top-gated RF transistors using millimeter-scale single graphene domain on a SiO2/Si substrate through a conventional microfabrication process. A maximum cut-off frequency of 178 GHz and a peak maximum os- cillation frequency of 35 GHz are achieved in the graphene-domain-based FET with a gate length of 50 nm and 150 nm, respectively. This work shows that the millimeter-scale single graphene domain has great potential applications in RF devices and circuits.

Fine silica-like lines with 11 nm width are successfully fabricated using x-ray Fresnel diffraction exposure. X-rays pass a mask of 175-nm-wide lines and 125-nm-wide spaces and form sharp peaks on a wafer coated with a layer of hydrogen silsesquioxane resist (HSQ). By precisely controlling the mask-wafer gap at 10 μm using the laser interferogram method, the fine structures are defined on HSQ. Experimental images are reproduced by a simulation using the one-dimensional beam propagation method. This lithographic technique presents a novel and convenient way to fabricate fine silica-like structures and devices in nano-optical and nanoelectronic applications.

A two-probe system of the heterojunction formed by an (8, 0) carbon nanotube (CNT) and an (8, 0) silicon carbide nanotube (SiCNT) was established based on its optimized structure. By using a method combining nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) with density functional theory (DFF), the transport properties of the het-erojunction were investigated. Our study reveals that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) has a higher electron density on the CNT section and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) mainly concentrates on the interface and the SiCNT section. The positive and negative threshold voltages are +1.8 and -2.2 V, respectively.

The structure of a heterojunction made up of an (8, 0) carbon nanotube and an (8, 0) boron nitride nanotube is achieved through geometry optimization implemented in the CASTEP package. Based on the optimized geometry, the model of the heterojunction is established. Its transport properties are investigated by combining the nonequilibrium Green's function with density functional theory. Results show that both the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and the highest occupied molecular orbital mainly locate on the carbon nanotube section. In the current-voltage characteristic of the heterojunction, a rectification feature is revealed.
