Gradient-Free Filter Importance for Structured Pruning of Compact EEG Networks

Deploying EEG classification networks on resource-constrained brain–computer interface (BCI) hardware motivates structured filter pruning, yet which importance criterion to trust in already-compact architectures is unclear. We present a leakage-free, physically materialized compa...

Impact of Source Contact Segmentation on the Electrical Characteristics of 4H‐SiC Planar MOSFETs

Source contact (SC) segmentation is investigated as a layout approach for tuning the capacitance, conduction, blocking, and switching characteristics of 1.7 kV 4H‐silicon carbide (4H‐SiC) planar metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect transistors (MOSFETs). Three‐dimensional TCAD...

Low-Power IGZO TFTs with Improved Positive Bias Stability via Atomic Layer Deposition-Based H2O Treatment

In this work, a plasma-free atomic layer deposition (ALD)-based H2O post-treatment method is proposed to precisely modulate hydrogen-related (H-related) traps in indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) by the number of H2O treatment cycles. Under the optimiz...

Networked Solid Polymer Electrolyte Enabling 5C Fast Cycling and Enhanced Stability of Oriented LiCoO 2 All‐Solid‐State Thin Film Batteries

ABSTRACT Polyethylene oxide (PEO)‐based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have emerged as promising candidates for advancing the all‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) market. However, conventional PEO‐based SPEs exhibit low room‐temperature (RT) ionic conductivity and...
