Abstract

Currently, digital clock adapts microprocessor or microcontroller system. Performance of speed and reconfigurability issue become a main concern in digital clocks. New additional feature may be introduced in digital clocks in the future. Field programmable gate array (FPGA) offer better performance of speed and reconfiguration features. Based on these advantages, it is essential to study or explore the digital clock with FPGA design. The objective in this study is to create a hardware description language (HDL)- based digital clock with alarm system and implement it onto the Altera DE2- 115 board. Using Verilog HDL language in Quartus Prime 20.1 Lite Edition software, all submodule components is developed and being test benched using ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition 13.1 to ensure the correct functionality. Then all inputs and outputs will be assigned through pin assignment in the software. For verification purpose, it will be downloaded to the Altera DE2-115 board. In conclusion, the file has been successfully implemented to the board and the digital clock with alarm is fully functional as expected. This was proved by the alarm signal, time adjustment and display of the three-display mode which is clock, alarm, and input where each mode carries their own functions as expected.

Abstract

This work analyzed the interactions between gate oxide thickness (Tox), voltage dependence, and electron mobility (E-mobility) in the inversion layer, which controls the electron movement properties of 4H-SiC/SiO2. This paper also presents a calculation of gate oxide thickness in correlation with gate voltage mainly for high-voltage applications. The results of this work revealed that at low resistance, E-mobility increases with gate voltage and oxide thickness, which saturates at the point of value. Coulomb scattering and surface phonons at the inversion region of SiC MOSFETs are regarded as the two primary factors that limit E-mobility in these devices. In addition, the high interface trap density (Dit) causes a decrease in E-mobility. The findings from this study confirmed that the computed values of oxide thickness and simulation-based oxide thickness with regulated gate voltages have the least variation below 1%, asserting experimental and theoretical outcomes about the role of oxide thickness and electron movement at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interfaces. These results indicate that understanding the E-mobility effect on oxide thickness in the SiC MOSFET inversion layer according to gate voltage is important, particularly in achieving an optimal 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface for high-power applications.
