NAND flash chips have been innovated from two-dimension (2D) design which is based on planar NAND cells to three-dimension (3D) design which is based on vertical NAND cells. Two types of NAND flash technologies–charge-trap (CT) and floating-gate (FG) are presented in this paper to introduce NAND flash designs in detail. The physical characteristics of CT-based and FG-based 3D NAND flashes are analyzed. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies in architecture, manufacture, interference and reliability are studied and compared.

This paper proposes a novel high-power supply rejection ratio (high-PSRR) high-order curvature-compensated CMOS bandgap voltage reference (BGR) in SMIC 0.18 μm CMOS process. Three kinds of current are added to a conventional BGR in order to improve the temperature drift within wider temperature range, which include a piecewise-curvature- corrected current in high temperature range, a piecewise-curvature-corrected current in low temperature range and a proportional-to-absolute-temperature current. The high-PSRR characteristic of the proposed BGR is achieved by adopting the technique of pre-regulator. Simulation results shows that the temperature coefficient of the proposed BGR with pre-regulator is /°C from 55 °C to 125 °C with a 1.8 V power supply voltage. The proposed BGR with pre-regulator achieves PSRR of 123.51 dB, 123.52 dB, 88.5 dB and 50.23 dB at 1 Hz, 100 Hz, 100 kHz and 1 MHz respectively.

Attacks on web servers are part of the most serious threats in network security fields. Analyzing logs of web attacks is an effective approach for malicious behavior identification. Traditionally, machine learning models based on labeled data are popular identification methods. Some deep learning models are also recently introduced for analyzing logs based on web logs classification. However, it is limited to the amount of labeled data in model training. Web logs with labels which mark specific categories of data are difficult to obtain. Consequently, it is necessary to follow the problem about data generation with a focus on learning similar feature representations from the original data and improve the accuracy of classification model. In this paper, a novel framework is proposed, which differs in two important aspects: one is that long short-term memory (LSTM) is incorporated into generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate the logs of web attack. The other is that a data augment model is proposed by adding logs of web attack generated by GANs to the original dataset and improved the performance of the classification model. The results experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It improved the classification accuracy from 89.04% to 95.04%.

To meet the demands of large-scale user access with computation-intensive and delay-sensitive applications,
combining ultra-dense networks (UDNs) and mobile edge computing (MEC)are considered as important solutions.
In the MEC enabled UDNs, one of the most important issues is computation offloading. Although a number of work
have been done toward this issue, the problem of dynamic computation offloading in time-varying environment,
especially the dynamic computation offloading problem for multi-user, has not been fully considered. Therefore, in
order to fill this gap, the dynamic computation offloading problem in time-varying environment for multi-user is
considered in this paper. By considering the dynamic changes of channel state and users queue state, the dynamic
computation offloading problem for multi-user is formulated as a stochastic game, which aims to optimize the delay
and packet loss rate of users. To find the optimal solution of the formulated optimization problem, Nash  Q-l earning
(NQLN) algorithm is proposed which can be quickly converged to a Nash equilibrium solution. Finally, extensive
simulation results are presented to demonstrate the superiority of NQLN algorithm. It is shown that NQLN algorithm
has better optimization performance than the benchmark schemes.  

It is the premise of accessing and controlling cloud environment to establish the mutual trust relationship between users and clouds. How to identify the credible degree of the user identity and behavior becomes the core problem? This paper proposes a user abnormal behavior analysis method based on neural network clustering to resolve the problems of over-fitting and flooding the feature information, which exists in the process of traditional clustering analysis and calculating similarity. Firstly, singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied to reduce dimension and de-noise for massive data, where Map-Reduce parallel processing is used to accelerate the computation speed, and neural network model is used for softening points. Secondly, information entropy is added to hidden layer of neural network model to calculate the weight of each attribute. Finally, weight factor is used to calculate the similarity to make the cluster more accuracy. For the problem of analyzing the mobile cloud user behaviors, the experimental results show that the scheme has higher detection speed and clustering accuracy than traditional schemes. The proposed method is more suitable for the mobile cloud environment.

At present, there is an urgent need for blockchain interoperability technology to realize interconnection between various blockchains, data communication and value transfer between blockchains, so as to break the ‘ value silo’ phenomenon of each blockchain. Firstly, it lists what people understand about the concept of interoperability. Secondly, it gives the key technical issues of cross-chain, including cross-chain mechanism, interoperability, eventual consistency, and universality. Then, the implementation of each cross-chain key technology is analyzed, including Hash-locking, two-way peg, notary schemes, relay chain scheme, cross-chain protocol, and global identity system. Immediately after that, five typical cross-chain systems are introduced and comparative analysis is made. In addition, two examples of cross-chain programmability and their analysis are given. Finally, the current state of cross-chain technology is summarized from two aspects: key technology implementation and cross-chain application enforcement. The cross-chain technology as a whole has formed a centralized fixed mechanism, as well as a trend of modular design, and some of the solutions to mature applications were established in the relevant standards organizations, and the cross-chain technology architecture tends to be unified, which is expected to accelerate the evolution of the open cross-chain network that supports the real needs of the interconnection of all chains.

Membership inference attacks on machine learning models have drawn significant attention. While current  research primarily utilizes shadow modeling techniques, which require knowledge of the target model and training  data, practical scenarios involve black-box access to the target model with no available information. Limited  training data further complicate the implementation of these attacks. In this paper, we experimentally compare  common data enhancement schemes and propose a data synthesis framework based on the variational autoencoder  generative adversarial network (VAE-GAN) to extend the training data for shadow models. Meanwhile, this paper  proposes a shadow model training algorithm based on adversarial training to improve the shadow model's ability to  mimic the predicted behavior of the target model when the target model's information is unknown. By conducting  attack experiments on different models under the black-box access setting, this paper verifies the effectiveness of the  VAE-GAN-based data synthesis framework for improving the accuracy of membership inference attack.  Furthermore, we verify that the shadow model, trained by using the adversarial training approach, effectively  improves the degree of mimicking the predicted behavior of the target model. Compared with existing research  methods, the method proposed in this paper achieves a 2% improvement in attack accuracy and delivers better  attack performance.

In this paper, a novel superjunction 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) trench-gate insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) featuring an integrated clamping PN diode between the P-shield and emitter (TSD-IGBT) is designed and theoretically studied. The heavily doping superjunction layer contributes to a low specific on-resistance, excellent electric field distribution, and quasi-unipolar drift current. The anode of the clamping diode is in floating contact with the P-shield. In the on-state, the potential of the P-shield is raised to the turn-on voltage of the clamping diode, which prevents the hole extraction below the N-type carrier storage layer (NCSL). Additionally, during the turn-off transient, once the clamping diode is turned on, it also promotes an additional hole extraction path. Furthermore, the potential dropped at the semiconductor near the trench-gate oxide is effectively reduced in the off-state.

While solving unimodal function problems, conventional meta-heuristic algorithms often suffer from low accuracy and slow convergence. Therefore, in this paper, a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, named proton-electron swarm (PES), is proposed based on physical rules. This algorithm simulates the physical phenomena of like-charges repelling each other while opposite charges attracting in protons and electrons, and establishes a mathematical model to realize the optimization process. By balancing the global exploration and local exploitation ability, this algorithm achieves high accuracy and avoids falling into local optimum when solving target problem. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this algorithm, 23 classical benchmark functions were selected for comparative experiments. Experimental results show that, compared with the contrast algorithms, the proposed algorithm cannot only obtain higher accuracy and convergence speed in solving unimodal function problems, but also maintain strong optimization ability in solving multimodal function problems.

With the development of deep learning (DL), joint source-channel coding (JSCC) solutions for end-to-end transmission have gained a lot of attention. Adaptive deep JSCC schemes support dynamically adjusting the rate according to different channel conditions during transmission, enhancing robustness in dynamic wireless environment. However, most of the existing adaptive JSCC schemes only consider different channel conditions, ignoring the different feature importance in the image processing and transmission. The uniform compression of different features in the image may result in the compromise of critical image details, particularly in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenarios. To address the above issues, in this paper, a dual attention mechanism is introduced and an SNR-adaptive deep JSCC mechanism with a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) is proposed, in which matrix operations are applied to features in spatial and channel dimensions respectively. The proposedsolution concatenates the pooling feature with the SNR level and passes it sequentially through the channel attention network and spatial attention network to obtain the importance evaluation result. Experiments show that the proposed solution outperforms other baseline schemes in terms of peak SNR (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM), particularly in low SNR scenarios or when dealing with complex image content.

It is of great value and significance to model the interests of microblog user in terms of business and sociology. This paper presents a framework for mining and analyzing personal interests from microblog text with a new algorithm which integrates term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) with TextRank. Firstly, we build a three-tier category system of user interest based on Wikipedia. In order to obtain the keywords of interest, we preprocess the posts, comments and reposts in different categories to select the keywords which appear both in the category system and microblogs. We then assign weight to each category and calculate the weight of keyword to get TF-IDF factors. Finally we score the ranking of each keyword by the TextRank algorithm with TF-IDF factors. Experiments on real Sina microblog data demonstrate that the precision of our approach significantly outperforms other existing methods.

Lattice-based hierarchical identity-based broadcast encryption ( H-IBBE) schemes have broad application prospects in the quantum era,because it reduces the burden of private key generator (PKG) and is suitable for one-to-many communication. However, previous lattice-based H-IBBE schemes are mostly constructed in the random oracle model with more complex trapdoor delegation process and have lower practical application. A lattice-based H-IBBE is proposed in the fixed dimension under the standard model, which mainly consists of binary tree encryption (BTE) system, MP12 trapdoor function and ABB10b trapdoor delegation algorithm. First, this paper uses BTE system to eliminate the random oracle so that the scheme can be implemented under the standard model, and it also uses MP12 trapdoor function to reduce trapdoor generation complexity and obtains a safe and efficient trapdoor matrix; Second, this paper uses ABB10b trapdoor delegation algorithm to delegate user爷s private key, and the trapdoor matrices' dimensions are the same before and after the trapdoor delegation. Comparative analysis shows that trapdoor delegation process reduces complexity, and the size of cipher-text and trapdoor matrix does not increase with deeper trapdoor delegation process. This paper achieves indistinguishability of cipher-texts under a selective chosen-cipher-text and chosen-identity attack (INDr-sID-CCA) security in the standard model based on learning with errors (LWE) hard assumption.

This paper studies the dynamic event-triggered leader-follower consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) under directed weighted graph containing a directed spanning tree, and also considers the effects of disturbances and leader of non-zero control inputs in the system. Firstly, a novel distributed control protocol is designed for uncertain disturbances and leader of non-zero control inputs in MASs. Secondly, a novel dynamic event-triggered control ( DETC) strategy is proposed, which eliminates the need for continuous communication between agents and reduces communication resources between agents. By introducing dynamic thresholds, the complexity of excluding Zeno behavior within the system is reduced. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed theory is validated through numerical simulation.

In this work, β-Ga₂O₃ thin films were grown on SiO₂ substrate by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and annealed in N₂ atmosphere to enhance the crystallization quality of the thin films, which were verified from X-rays diffraction (XRD). Based on the grown β-Ga₂O₃ thin films, vertical metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) interdigital photodetectors (PDs) were fabricated and investigated. The PDs have an ultralow dark current of 1.92 pA, ultra-high photo-to-dark current ratio (PDCR) of 1.7×10⁶, and ultra-high detectivity of 4.25×10¹⁴ Jones at a bias voltage of 10 V under 254 nm deep ultraviolet (DUV). Compared with the horizontal MSM PDs under the same process, the PDCR and detectivity of the fabricated vertical PDs are increased by 1 000 times and 100 times, respectively. In addition, the vertical PDs possess a high responsivity of 34.24 A/W and an external quantμm efficiency of 1.67×10⁴%, and also exhibit robustness and repeatability, which indicate excellent performance. Then the effects of electrode size and external irradiation conditions on the performance of the vertical PDs continued to be investigated.

Through-silicon via (TSV) is a key enabling technology for the emerging 3-dimension (3D) integrated circuits
(ICs). However, the crosstalk between the neighboring TSVs is one of the important sources of the soft faults. To
suppress the crosstalk, the Fibonacci-numeral-system-based crosstalk avoidance code ( FNS-CAC) is an effective
scheme. Meanwhile, the self-repair schemes are often used to deal with the hard faults, but the repaired results
may change the mapping between signals to TSVs, thus may reduce the crosstalk suppression ability of FNS-CAC.
A TSV self-repair technique with an improved FNS-CAC codec is proposed in this work. The codec is designed
based on the improved Fibonacci numeral system (FNS) adders, which are adaptive to the health states of TSVs.
The proposed self-repair technique is able to suppress the crosstalk and repair the faulty TSVs simultaneously. The
simulation and analysis results show that the proposed scheme keeps the crosstalk suppression ability of the original
FNS-CAC, and it has higher reparability than the local self-repair schemes, such as the signal-switching-based and
the signal-shifting-based counterparts.  

With the rapid development of vehicle-based applications, entertainment videos have gained popularity for  passengers on public vehicles. Therefore, how to provide high quality video service for passengers in typical public  transportation scenarios is an essential problem. This paper proposes a quality of experience (QoE)-based video  segments caching (QoE-VSC) strategy to guarantee the smooth watching experience of passengers. Consequently,  this paper considers a jointly caching scenario where the bus provides the beginning segments of a video, and the  road side unit (RSU) offers the remaining for passengers. To evaluate the effectiveness, QoE hit ratio is defined to  represent the probability that the bus and RSUs jointly provide passengers with desirable video segments  successfully. Furthermore, since passenger volume change will lead to different video preferences, a deep  reinforcement learning (DRL) network is trained to generate the segment replacing policy on the video segments  cached by the bus server. And the training target of DRL is to maximize the QoE hit ratio, thus enabling more  passengers to get the required video. The simulation results prove that the proposed method has a better  performance than baseline methods in terms of QoE hit ratio and cache costs.

In order to detect and cancel the self-interference (SI) signal from desired binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) signal, the polarization-based optimal detection (POD) scheme for cancellation of digital SI in a full-duplex (FD) system is proposed. The POD scheme exploits the polarization domain to isolate the desired signal from the SI signal and then cancel the SI to obtain the interference-free desired signal at the receiver. In FD communication, after antenna and analog cancellation, the receiver still contains residual SI due to non-linearities of hardware imperfections. In POD scheme, a likelihood ratio expression is obtained, which isolates and detects SI bits from the desired bits. After isolation of these signal points, the POD scheme cancels the residual SI. As compared to the conventional schemes, the proposed POD scheme gives significantly low bit error rate (BER), a clear constellation diagram to obtain the boundary between desired and SI signal points, and increases the receiver's SI cancellation performance in low signal to interference ratio (SIR) environment.
