High-Frequency Capacitor with Working Substance "Insulator-Undoped Silicon-Insulator" by N. A. Poklonski, I. I. Anikeev, S. A. Vyrko

“…The study of the parameters of capacitors with various working substances is of interest for the design and creation of electronic elements, in particular for the development of high-frequency phase-shifting circuits.The purpose of the work is to calculate the high-frequency capacitance of a capacitor with the working substance "insulator-undoped silicon-insulator" at different applied to the capacitor direct current (DC) voltages, measuring signal frequencies and temperatures.A model of such the capacitor is proposed, in which 30 µm thick layer of undoped (intrinsic) crystalline silicon (i-Si) is separated from each of the capacitor electrodes by 1 µm thick insulator layer (silicon dioxide).The dependences of the capacitor capacitance on the DC electrical voltage U on metal electrodes at zero frequency and at the measuring signal frequency of 1 MHz at absolute temperatures T = 300 and 400 K are calculated. …”

Development of the blockchain curriculum system based on the PRIDE teaching mode by Yizhong LIU, Jianwei LIU, Qianhong WU

“…In recent years, with the widespread attention received by its currency attributes from all sectors of society, blockchain technology has been rapidly developed.Being an emerging technology, blockchain technology possessed characteristics such as decentralization, immutability, and anonymity that found extensive applications in digital currency, supply chain management, electronic voting and other fields.In response to the government's call, universities across the country began offering blockchain courses.However, during the actual teaching process, common problems such as lack of educational resources and untimely curriculum updates were encountered.Many blockchain courses in universities remained at the theoretical level and lacked practical application and practice, resulting in poor learning effectiveness and difficulty in meeting societal needs.To address these problems, a blockchain curriculum construction scheme based on the PRIDE teaching model was proposed.This scheme combined the advantages of traditional teaching models with the characteristics of blockchain courses were combined, incorporating political teaching, research teaching, inspiration teaching, seminar teaching, and example teaching into blockchain courses.The aim was to improve students’ learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Through years of teaching verification, it was proven that this scheme successfully resolved the issues existing in traditional blockchain courses and improved learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Additionally, the scheme met the requirements for training cyberspace security talent, providing a strong talent guarantee for the development and application of blockchain technology in China while achieving significant teaching effects.…”
