Influence of Si nanocrystal distributed in the gate oxide on the MOS capacitance by Zhao, P., Yang, X. H., Ng, Chi Yung, Chen, Tupei, Ding, Liang, Yang, Ming, Wong, Jen It, Tse, Man Siu, Trigg, Alastair David, Fung, Stevenson Hon Yuen

“…Two different nc-Si distributions, i.e., partial and full nc-Si distributions in the gate oxide, have been considered. The MOS capacitance obtained from the modeling has been compared to the capacitance measurement for a number of samples with various gate-oxide thicknesses, implantation energies and dosages, and an excellent agreement has been achieved for all the samples. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The purpose of this work is to develop a 2D static biomechanical model of the index finger as a general solution to estimate the tendon forces involved during free finger flexion-extension and to limit the degree of statistical indeterminacy. The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. …”
