100 times faster transistor speed development of new carbon beyond the amorphous-silicon RFID, semiconductor components, the transistor carbon – printing

At room temperature semiconductor technology for making devices such as electronic billboards will be (electronicbillboards) that large-scale applications, and RFID tags can be disposable applications, ultra-low-cost as possible. But most of the transistors at room temperature electron mobility is very low, only digital one percent per volt cm ^ sec (cm2/Vs). Now, Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Tech), the Researchers say that by using carbon-60 (C60) film Ball Buck (fullerenes) or fullerenes (fullerenes) to manufacture transistors (transistor) channel (channel), found a ratio of amorphous silicon can be produced (amorphous ) at room temperature to 100 times faster methods of manufacture of transistors. “We do not claim to be the first to make the C60 transistors at room temperature laboratory,” Professor GeorgiaTech BernardKippelen said: “The innovation of our R & D results is to prove that the process at room temperature and obtained a 3 ~ 5cm2 / Vs such a high electron mobility, but can also have good stability renewable (reproducibility), low threshold voltage, and switching High ratio (offcurrent report). “global research laboratory at room temperature in technology to take advantage of low prices, sword disaster Yao high performance? Printing technology Oll-to-roll) printing ink jet or to create large displays and low-cost applications such as RFID products, in that way, you do not need these expensive room own, the process at high temperature. But there are many ways tries to use organic materials in the transistors, but also tried to use the formula for finding new materials to improve the mobility of electrons in the channel. Other research units have achieved higher than the electron mobility GeorgiaTech study group, but especially through the process at high temperature? Made with transistors. Although U.S. industry has developed an inorganic silicon ink Kovio (inorganicsiliconink), can be manufactured using thin film transistors of inkjet printing, but? Process temperature is much higher than the plastic substrate could afford. Despite the results GeorgiaTech R & D, non-fulfillment process at high temperature can reach the mobility of electrons (Kovio says that mobility of electrons and silicon polycrystalline as good), they achieve the electron mobility than amorphous silicon was. Potential applications of technology as a means of production does not require that the refresh rate of 16 ms (refresh) the display of the service (for display), they can use plastic substrates at low cost. Improvements design in recent years on the basis Kippelen says his research team has identified the need for low temperature high electron mobility optimize the materials and parameters: “Our research is based on the refining organic semiconductors (purification) and treatment based on several years of experience. while the gate dielectric (gatedielectric) and the choice of metal electrode, but also play an important role. “Georgia Tech Professor Bernard Kippelen (center) at room temperature on transistor research and development projects, and researcher at the school and BenoitDomercq Zhang Xiao-Hong, a PhD candidate to work together. The convenience, component GeorgiaTech team model is manufactured in the silicon substrate, but the researchers said their use of organic transistors C60 all elements are made at room temperature. transistors used for the metal electrode at room temperature, it is used with OLED screen and plastics used in transparent solar cells? Way (transparentprocess) evidence given the same technology. “Our sensor is the use of masks (shadow masks) and thermal evaporation (thermalevaporation) process In the highlight of organic semiconductors; Kippelen said: “With the metal source (source) and between the substrate to keep sufficient distance (three feet), allows the substrate can be regarded as overheating process filing. “Then, researchers will study the production of N-channel and P channel transistor means, enjoy the ambient temperature of organic materials, the manufacture of active matrix display for CMOS inverters (inverters), ring oscillator ( ringoscillator), logic gate and the auxiliary drive circuit, etc.. “Replacing the silicon with a plastic floor, but also our future share research project Kippelen said. However, the production line using transistors C60 or there is a disadvantage is that they are sensitive to oxygen means that components must work in an environment of nitrogen. The researchers plan to re-form a fullerene molecule, and in the way of vacuum packing components to solve the problem.

The money saved in Tough Times

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

In this economic climate, every business leader is looking for ways to cut costs. Your Information Technology (IT) strategy is a good place to look for savings. Postponing the purchase of new computers may be a wise decision now. But the demands of businesses on information technology will not disappear in times of difficulty. Instead, to make your business more efficient and competitive will always effective IT application. How can you reconcile these seemingly contradictory requirements? In ReliaTech, we found that a regular maintenance program – what we call managed service – combined with a strategy to upgrade prudent, may extend the useful life of your computers as long as 3-5 years. Here’s how. First, avoid problemsLike your car, your computer is less likely to cause you problems if you give a little love and attention. A small investment in preventive maintenance will go a long way toward extending the life of your computer. How Windows, deteriorates over time. This is not good to clean up after itself, leaving many old, unused files to clutter your hard drive. Programs you never use again in May run each time you log on. The register – a set of large files that store settings in Windows’ – becomes bloated. Over time, your hard disk is fragmented, with files stored divided into several smaller pieces, causing an increase in the time it takes to start and open files. Preventive maintenance can identify and eliminate these problems before they slow you down. We visited the offices of our customers on a regular schedule to perform preventive maintenance and identify and resolve problems, often before users notice them. We check for updates and to conduct audits of virus and malware scans. This process keeps inexpensive computers humming and reduces downtime and costly replacement of equipment. Do not replace, repairDo you really need a new PC when “Old Faithful” lets you down? If your current computer is less than five years, the answer is most likely not. Modern PCs are designed as collections of modular subsystems. In most cases, when your computer crashes or does not start, only one element is to blame. A new hard drive or power can often solve the problem and get back to work. Each of these components will cost less than $ 100, including installation. Other elements, such as your network card, CMOS battery, or monitor cable is still cheaper to replace. Do not replace, asking “why?” When someone brings a computer in our shop complaining that it becomes slower, there are some questions we always ask. First: Do you have enough memory? Computer Memory (RAM) is inexpensive and can have enough of your system to function more effectively. For Windows XP, we recommend 1 GB. For Vista, we recommend at least 2 GB. Second: Do you have a spyware or a virus infection? Modern viruses and other malicious software still does not crash your system. Some are running in the background and perform a variety of unpleasant tasks. Keep your anti-virus update and scan for infections are often important maintenance items. Third: What is your hard drive? Hard drives become fragmented over time and become clogged with unnecessary files. Windows provides two utilities to address these issues: Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. They should both be performed quarterly for better performance. These are some simple ways and inexpensive to prolong the life of your computer and avoid the cost of replacement. Computer service or repair shop can do these things, or if you have technical skills, you can do yourself. The important thing to remember is this – an aging or seemingly dead computer can often be restored to its youthful vigor.
