Lifetime control in silicon power P-i-N diode by ion irradiation: Suppression of undesired leakage

The irradiation with high-energy (7.35 MeV) protons through a set of energy degraders was used to suppress leakage of the silicon power diodes subjected to local lifetime control. The aim was to modify the profile of recombination centers and to reduce production of vacancy complexes. The high-energy proton irradiation was compared with standard local lifetime killing by high-energy alphas. Recombination centers arising from irradiation were characterized after irradiation and subsequent annealing at 220 and 350 °C by deep level transient spectroscopy and I-V profiling. Static and dynamic parameters of irradiated diodes were also measured and compared. Results show that the applied irradiation with protons provides 3-10 times lower leakage compared to standard alphas for equivalent reduction of the reverse recovery current maximum. On the other hand, the excessive formation of hydrogen donors at high proton fluences and their diffusion during annealing at 350° decreases diode blocking capability.     

High accuracy path tracking for vehicles in presence of sliding: Application to farm vehicle automatic guidance for agricultural tasks

When designing an accurate automated guidance system for vehicles, a major problem is sliding and pseudo-sliding effects. This is especially the case in agricultural applications, where five-centimetre accuracy with respect to the desired trajectory is required, although the vehicles are moving on slippery ground. It has been established that RTK GPS was a very suitable sensor to achieve automated guidance with such high precision: several control laws have been designed for vehicles equipped with this sensor, and provide the expected guidance accuracy as long as the vehicles do not slide. In previous work, further control developments have been proposed to take sliding into account: guidance accuracy in slippery environments has been shown to be preserved, except transiently at the beginning/end of curves. In this paper, the design of this control law is first recalled and discussed. A Model Predictive Control method is then applied in order to preserve accuracy of guidance even during these curvature transitions. Finally, the overall control scheme is implemented, and improvements with respect to previous guidance laws are demonstrated through full-scale experiments.     

Quality control of chip manufacture and chip analysis using epoxy-chips as a model

Biochips are miniaturized, highly ordered analysis systems which offer the unique advantage of highly parallel analysis of thousands of analytes at the same time. Although this technique has been enthusiastically developed and has promised to improve and speed up numerous biological assays, the quality control of chip manufacture, chip analysis and data management has received less attention.

The following article compares three epoxy-containing chip surfaces (ARChip Epoxy, 3D-Link™, and EasySpot) with respect to their autofluorescence, immobilization capacity, background fluorescence and hybridization efficiency. Since data collected from biochip experiments are random snapshots with errors, inherently noisy and incomplete, we tried to evaluate technical factors causing variability and to set up quality control procedures for chip manufacture and chip analysis. Variabilities caused by arraying, glass substrate and polymer coating, fluorescent label and experimental conditions are discussed in details.

Using Lyapunov's direct method for wave suppression in reactive systems

This paper proposes a new approach for stabilizing a homogeneous solution in reaction–convection–diffusion system with oscillatory kinetics, in which moving or stationary patterns emerge in the absence of control. Specifically, we aim to suppress patterns by using a spatially weighted finite-dimensional feedback control that assures stability of the solution according to Lyapunov's direct method. A practical design procedure, based on spectral representation of the system and dissipative nature of parabolic PDEs, is presented.

Equivalent stochastic control problems

A decentralized stochastic control problem is called static if the observations available for any one decision do not depend on the other decisions. Otherwise it is called dynamic. We consider only problems with a finite number of decisions. A notion of equivalence between problems, suitable for complexity analysis, is defined. It turns out that a large class of dynamic problems can be reduced to equivalent static problems. The class includes all sequential discrete variable problems and some of the most studied continuous variable problems.
