An integrated device (100; 200; 300) for diffracting a light signal comprises: an acousto-optic medium layer (120; 220; 320); a planar waveguide (130; 230; 330) for guiding the light signal and outputting the light signal into the acousto-optic medium layer (120; 220; 320); and an acoustic wave generator (110; 210a-h; 310) for generating and outputting an acoustic wave into the acousto-optic medium layer (120; 220; 320); wherein the acousto-optic medium layer (120; 220; 320) propagates the light signal defining a planar or curved light wavefront in the acousto-optic medium layer (120; 220; ...

A nanostructure according to the invention comprises a pair of nanosheet or nanowire transistors (1,1') configured to conduct charge by carriers of opposite polarity (such as n and p type carriers), wherein one of the two transistors is provided with inner spacers (10) and the other is not provided with inner spacers. The inventors found that depending on the type of charge carrier, the omission of the inner spacers may offer an unexpected improvement in the admittance of the device that outweighs the negative impact of the inner spacer omission. This is the case for example in a Si-channel ...

The present disclosure relates to a sampling circuit for sampling an analog input signal comprising: a capacitive means, a reset switch, and a sampling switch; the reset switch and the sampling switch being connected to a signal generator circuit configured to provide periodic reset and sampling control signals to the respective switches for controlling their operation; wherein the respective periodic reset and sampling control signals have equal duty factors and signal periods, and a phase delay with respect to one another being less than the signals’ duty factor, thereby forming an overlap ...

A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for characterizing oxide defects in semiconductor devices are described. Based on time-resolved SILC data, a total number of active oxide defects and each defect's characteristics can be determined for a deeply-scaled FET device. The discrete changes in leakage current correspond to switching of a single defect. A Bayesian-inspired algorithm is utilized to extract distinct current levels and experimental data is quantized into these extracted current levels by filtering noise. The evolution of current levels corresponds to a Markov ...
