    Analytical, temperature-dependent model for majority- and minority-carrier mobility in silicon devices

    No full text
    A new analytical model for carrier mobility in silicon is presented, which is strongly oriented to CAD and suitable for implementation in device simulators. The effects of the electric field, temperature, and doping concentration are accounted for. In particular, the model unifies the descriptions of majority- and minority-carrier mobility and includes the full temperature dependence. The effects of a high longitudinal field are included in the conventional velocity-saturation form; the doping dependence is also incorporated in the latter. The model has been worked out starting from a preliminary investigation using a Boltzmann solver, and has been validated by a number of comparisons with published experiments on silicon

    A unified analytical model for bulk and surface mobility in Si n- and p-Channel MOSFET's

    A new analytical model for carrier mobility in silicon is presented, which is strongly oriented to numerical simulation and suitable for implementation in device simulators. The transverse-field dependence has been worked out in order to predict the measured effective mobility against effective field over a wide range of substrate doping concentrations. Simulations of a realistic long-channel MOS device have given good agreement with measured I-V characteristics

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
