Published: July 2020

The tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) with surrounding channel nanowire (SCNW) structure promises better performance than the conventional planar TFET in terms of subthreshold swing (SS) and on-current (). In spite of the advantages of SCNW TFET, there are some technical issues in the aspects of a hump phenomenon in subthreshold region and a high ambipolar current () in off-state. In order to overcome these issues, a novel dual-gate SCNW TFET (DG-SCNW TFET) with differential gate work functions (WFs) and a gate-drain underlap is proposed and studied by using technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation. In addition, a hetero-junction with SiGe source is applied to improve the device performance. Finally, it is confirmed that the optimized DG-SCNW TFET shows the remarkable performance comparing with the control device.

Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of diseases that pose a serious threat to human health, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In recent years, it has been found that mitochondrial remodeling plays an important role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondrial remodeling refers to the dynamic regulatory process of mitochondrial morphology, number and function, which can affect neuronal cell function and survival by regulating mechanisms such as mitochondrial fusion, division, clearance and biosynthesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Amniotic fluid contains stem cells (AF-SCs) that have potential uses in regenerative medicine for treating various injuries and diseases.
  • When exposed to basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), AF-SCs show the ability to survive and migrate in a rat brain model, resembling characteristics of neuronal/glial progenitor cells.
  • The study employs electrophysiological techniques to identify specific potassium currents in AF-SCs and confirms that histamine can influence calcium dynamics and potassium current activation in these cells.
