Abstract:
We study upper and lower bounds for the pull-in voltage and the pull-in distance for the one-dimensional prescribed mean curvature problem arising in MEMS $ \begin{equation*} \left \{\begin{array}{l} - \left( \frac{u^{ \prime } (x)}{\sqrt{1 +\left (u^{ \prime } (x)\right )^{2}}} \right)^{ \prime } = \frac{\lambda }{(1 -u)^{p}} , \ \ u <1 , \ \ -L

Characteristics of MOSFET
Various vital parameters influence their functionality, which is crucial for theory and electronics applications. First, channel dimensions, precisely length, and width, are pivotal. The size of these channels affects the transistor's ability to carry current and switching speeds; shorter channels typically enable...

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
