The impact of random doping effects on CMOS SRAM cell
The SRAM has a very constrained cell area and is consequently sensitive to the intrinsic parameter fluctuations ubiquitous in decananometer scale MOSFETs. Using a statistical circuit simulation methodology, which can fully collate intrinsic parameter fluctuation information into compact model sets, the impact of random device doping on 6-T SRAM static noise margins, and read and write characteristics are investigated in detail for well-scaled 35 nm physical gate length devices. We conclude that intrinsic parameter fluctuations will become a major limitation to further conventional MOSFET SRAM scaling
Howe Duality and Combinatorial Character Formula for Orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras
We study the Howe dualities involving the reductive dual pairs
and on the (super)symmetric tensor of
\C^d\otimes\C^{m|n}. We obtain complete decompositions of this space with
respect to their respective joint actions. We also use these dualities to
derive a character formula for these irreducible representations of
and that appear in these decompositions.Comment: 47 pages, LaTeX forma
Two-body hadronic charmed meson decays
We study in this work the two-body hadronic charmed meson decays, including
both the PP and VP modes. The latest experimental data are first analyzed in
the diagrammatic approach. The magnitudes and strong phases of the flavor
amplitudes are extracted from the Cabibbo-favored (CF) decay modes using
minimization. The best-fitted values are then used to predict the
branching fractions of the singly-Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) and
doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes in the flavor SU(3) symmetry limit. We
observe significant SU(3) breaking effects in some of SCS channels. In the case
of VP modes, we point out that the and amplitudes cannot be
completely determined based on currently available data. We conjecture that the
quoted experimental results for both and are overestimated. We compare the sizes of color-allowed and
color-suppressed tree amplitudes extracted from the diagrammatical approach
with the effective parameters and defined in the factorization
approach. The ratio is more or less universal among the , and modes. This feature allows
us to discriminate between different solutions of topological amplitudes. For
the long-standing puzzle about the ratio , we argue that, in addition to the SU(3)
breaking effect in the spectator amplitudes, the long-distance resonant
contribution through the nearby resonance can naturally explain why
decays more copiously to than through the
-exchange topology.Comment: 32 pages, 5 figures. An alternative method for error bar extraction
