This paper applied the Taguchi method to simulate the latch-up effect of nLDMOS to achieve an optimization design. The applied model is for an nLDMOS structure with high voltage well plus the adaptive (adjustment) layers of source & drain, and an N-type buried layer. Although the methods we could choose is abundant, we hope to effectively obtain the data which is useful for statistics in order to judge the correct characteristic of parameters. We applied the Taguchi method to perform an optimization in the paper. There are six parameters with two levels in this work, so we choose the Taguchi table to be L8(27). By this way, it can decrease the times of experiment much effectively.

In this paper, we propose a novel high-voltage (HV) nLDMOS transistor with a small Ron resistance, low trigger voltage (Vt1) and high holding voltage (Vh) characteristics. Here, we introduce a deep N+-buried-layer (NBL) into this HV nLDMOS to evaluate the ESD/latch-up (LU) parameters variation. These electric snapback parameters affect the reliability of proposed device and its performance. Eventually, we expect this proposed HV stucture processed better characteristic behaviors, which can be applied to the power electronics and ESD protection application of HV ICs.

Abstract Distribution network reconfiguration is a very complex and large-scale combinatorial optimization problem. In network reconfiguration, whether an effective solution can be obtained is a key issue. Aiming at the problems in network reconstruction by traditional algorithm, such as long time required, more times of power flow calculation and high network loss, a network optimization design algorithm based on improved ant colony algorithm for high voltage power distribution network is proposed. After analyzing the operating characteristics of the high voltage power distribution network, the network topology of the high voltage power distribution network is described by constructing a hierarchical variable-structure distribution network model. A mathematical model of distribution network reconstruction considering the opportunity constraint with the minimum network loss as the objective function is established. The power flow distribution is calculated by using the pre-push back-generation method combined with the hierarchical structure of the distribution network. The maximum and minimum ant colony algorithm is introduced to improve the pheromone updating method of the traditional ant colony algorithm, and the search range is expanded, so that the algorithm can jump out of the local optimization trap to realize the accurate solution of the power distribution network reconstruction model. The experimental results show that compared with the current network reconstruction algorithm, the proposed algorithm requires less time for convergence, less power flow calculation, and lower network loss.

The Times

Cell membrane permeabilization by electric pulses (electropermeabilization), results in free exchange of ions across the cell membrane. The role of electrotransfer-mediated Ca2+-influx on muscle signaling pathways involved in degeneration (β-actin and MurF), inflammation (IL-6 and TNF-α), and regeneration (MyoD1, myogenin, and Myf5) was investigated, using pulse parameters of both electrochemotherapy (8 HV) and DNA delivery (HVLV). Three pulsing conditions were used: 8 high-voltage pulses (8 HV), resulting in large permeabilization and ion flux, and a combination of one high-voltage pulse and one low-voltage pulse (HVLV), either alone or in combination with injection of DNA. Mice and rats were anesthetized before pulsing. At the times given, animals were killed, and intact tibialis cranialis muscles were excised for analysis. Uptake of Ca2+ was assessed using 45Ca as a tracer. Using gene expression analyses and histology, we showed a clear association between Ca2+ influx and muscular response. Moderate Ca2+ influx induced by HVLV pulses results in activation of pathways involved in immediate repair and hypertrophy. This response could be attenuated by intramuscular injection of EGTA reducing Ca2+ influx. Larger Ca2+ influx as induced by 8-HV pulses leads to muscle damage and muscle fiber regeneration through recruitment of satellite cells. The extent of Ca2+ influx determines the muscular response to electrotransfer and, thus, the success of a given application. In the case of electrochemotherapy, in which the objective is cell death, a large influx of Ca2+ may be beneficial, whereas for DNA electrotransfer, muscle recovery should occur without myofiber loss to ensure preservation of plasmid DNA.
