With the rapid advancement of information technology, the data demands in transmission rates, processing speed, and storage capacity have been increasing significantly. However, silicon electro-optic modulators, characterized by their weak electro-optic effect, struggle to balance modulation efficiency and bandwidth. To overcome this limitation, we propose an electro-optic modulator based on an all-fiber micro-ring resonator and a p-Si/n-ITO heterojunction, achieving high modulation efficiency and large bandwidth.

In this paper, a novel p-type junctionless field effect transistor (PJLFET) based on a partially depleted silicon-on-insulator (PD-SOI) is proposed and investigated. The novel PJLFET integrates a buried N+-doped layer under the channel to enable the device to be turned off, leading to a special work mechanism and optimized performance. Simulation results show that the proposed PJLFET demonstrates an I/I ratio of more than seven orders of magnitude, with I reaching up to 2.

In modern ICs, sub-threshold voltage management plays a significant role due to its perspective on energy efficiency and speed performance. Level shifters (LSs) play a critical role in signal exchange among multiple voltage domains by ensuring signal integrity and the reliable operation of ICs. In this article, a Pass-Transistor-Enabled Split Input Voltage Level Shifter (PVLS) is designed for area, delay, and power-efficient applications with a wide voltage conversion range.

The development of low-temperature piezoresistive materials provides compatibility with standard silicon-based MEMS fabrication processes. Additionally, it enables the use of such material in flexible substrates, thereby expanding the potential for various device applications. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the fabrication of a 200 nm polycrystalline silicon thin film through a metal-induced crystallization process mediated by an AlSiCu alloy at temperatures as low as 450 °C on top of silicon and polyimide (PI) substrates.

We demonstrated 3.3 kV silicon carbide (SiC) PiN diodes using a trenched ring-assisted junction termination extension (TRA-JTE) with PN multi-epitaxial layers. Multiple P rings and width-modulated multiple trenches were utilized to alleviate electric-field crowding at the edges of the junction to quantitively control the effective charge (Q) in the termination structures.
