In Nietzsche: The Ethics of an Immoralist, Peter Berkowitz challenges this new orthodoxy, asserting that it produces a one-dimensional picture of Nietzsche?s philosophical explorations and passes by much of what is provocative and problematic in his thought. Berkowitz argues that Nietzsche?s thought is rooted in extreme and conflicting opinions about metaphysics and human nature. Discovering a deep unity in Nietzsche?s work by exploring the structure and argumentative movement of a wide range of his books, Berkowitz shows that Nietzsche is a moral and political philosopher in the Socratic sense whose governing question is, ?What is the best life?? Nietzsche, Berkowitz argues, puts forward a severe and aristocratic ethics, an ethics of creativity, that demands that the few human beings who are capable acquire a fundamental understanding of and attain total mastery over the world. Following the path of Nietzsche?s thought, Berkowitz shows that this mastery, which represents a suprapolitical form of rule and entails a radical denigration of political life, is, from Nietzsche?s own perspective, neither desirable nor attainable. Out of the colorful and richly textured fabric of Nietzsche?s books, Peter Berkowitz weaves an interpretation of Nietzsche?s achievement that is at once respectful and skeptical, an interpretation that brings out the love of truth, the courage, and the yearning for the good that mark Nietzsche?s magisterial effort to live an examined life by giving an account of the best life. 410 0$aPerspectives in cognitive neuroscience. 606 $aConsciousness 606 $aTime perception 606 $aMemory 606 $aCognitive neuroscience 606 $aSenses and sensation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConsciousness. 615 0$aTime perception. 615 0$aMemory. 615 0$aCognitive neuroscience. 615 0$aSenses and sensation. 676 $a193 700 $aLibet$b Benjamin$f1916-2007.$0629922 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455198203321 996 $aMind time$91223473 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05825nam 2200757 a 450 001 9911020157103321 005 20251116151810.0 010 $a9786610854769 010 $a9781280854767 010 $a1280854766 010 $a9780470035924 010 $a0470035927 010 $a9781601193773 010 $a1601193777 010 $a9780470035917 010 $a0470035919 035 $a(CKB)1000000000357161 035 $a(EBL)292558 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000071708 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11107322 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000071708 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10093820 035 $a(PQKB)10294047 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC292558 035 $a(OCoLC)177200803 035 $a(Perlego)2757355 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000357161 100 $a20060912d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDesign and characterization of integrated varactors for RF applications /$fInigo Gutierrez, Juan Melendez, Erik Hernandez 210 $aChichester, West Sussex, England ;$aHoboken, NJ $cWiley$dc2006 215 $a1 online resource (182 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780470025871 311 08$a0470025875 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aDesign and Characterization of Integrated Varactors for RF Applications; Contents; List of Figures; List of Tables; Preface; Acknowledgements; 1 Introduction; 1.1 Passive Elements; 1.2 Figures of Merit of Varactors; 1.2.1 Quality Factor; 1.2.2 Tuning Range; 1.2.3 Self-resonant Frequency(fR); 1.2.4 Effective Silicon Area; 1.2.5 Absolute Capacity Value; 1.3 Principal Types of Varactor Manufacture; 1.3.1 Discrete Varactors; 1.3.2 MEMS Varactors; 1.3.3 BST Varactors; 1.3.4 Integrated Varactors using Standard Technologies; References; 2 PN-junction Varactors 327 $a2.1 The Operating Principle of a PN-junction Varactor2.1.1 Electrical Phenomena in a PN-junction Varactor; 2.2 Different Architectures of PN-junction Varactors; 2.2.1 Different Configurations of PN-junction Varactors; 2.3 Influence of Bias Voltage on the Behaviour of a PN-junction Varactor; 2.4 Influence of Geometric Parameters on the Behaviour of a PN-junction Varactor; 2.4.1 Influence in the Variation of the Number of Islands; 2.4.2 Influence of the Size of the Islands; 2.4.3 Influence of the Distance Between Islands; 2.4.4 Variation of the Size of the N Well 327 $a2.5 Influence of the Working Frequency on the Results2.5.1 Influence of the Frequency on the Quality of a Varactor; 2.5.2 Influence of the Frequency on the Capacitance of a Varactor; 2.6 Comparison Between the Different Types of PN-junction Varactors; 2.6.1 Comparison According to the Effective Silicon Area; 2.6.2 Comparison According to the Quality Factor; References; 3 MOS Varactors; 3.1 Operating Principles of an NMOS Varactor; 3.1.1 Operating Ranges of the NMOS Varactor; 3.1.2 Electrical Phenomena of an NMOS Varactor in Accumulation Mode 327 $a3.1.3 Electrical Phenomena of an NMOS Varactor in Depletion Mode3.2 NMOS Varactors; 3.2.1 Operating Ranges of the NMOS Varactor; 3.3 Influence of the Operating Mode on an NMOS Varactor; 3.4 Influence of Bias Voltage on the Behaviour of an NMOS Accumulation Varactor; 3.5 Influence of Geometric Parameters on the Behaviour of an NMOS Varactor; 3.5.1 Influence of the Variation of the Varactor Size; 3.5.2 Influence of the Varactor Gate Length on its Performance; 3.5.3 Influence of the Varactor Gate Width on its Performance; 3.6 Influence of the Working Frequency on the Results; References 327 $a4 Measurement Techniques for Integrated Varactors4.1 Test System; 4.2 Equipment Required for the On-Wafer Testing of Integrated Varactors; 4.2.1 Test Probes; 4.2.2 Connectivity; 4.3 Calibrating the Test System; 4.4 Test Structures; 4.4.1 Choosing the Test Structure Configuration; 4.4.2 Design of the Test Structures; 4.4.3 Effects Introduced by the Test Structures; 4.5 Test Structure DE-embedding Techniques; 4.5.1 Single-Short Structure; 4.5.2 Single-Open Structure; 4.5.3 Thru Structure; 4.6 Characterization of Integrated Varactors; 4.7 Test System Verification 327 $a4.7.1 Error Introduced by Positioning the Test Probes on the Pads 330 $aVaractors are passive semiconductor devices used in electronic circuits, as a voltage-controlled way of storing energy in order to boost the amount of electric charge produced. In the past, the use of low-cost fabrication processes such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and silicon germanium (SiGe) were kept for integrated circuits working in frequency ranges below the GHz. Now, the increased working frequency of radio frequency integrated circuits (RF ICs) for communication devices, and the trend of system-on-chip technology, has pushed the requirements of varactors to the lim 606 $aVaractors$xDesign and construction 606 $aRadio capacitors$xDesign and construction 606 $aRadio circuits$xDesign and construction 606 $aIntegrated circuits$xDesign and construction 615 0$aVaractors$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aRadio capacitors$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aRadio circuits$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aIntegrated circuits$xDesign and construction. 676 $a621.3815/22 700 $aGutie?rrez$b I?n?igo$0725293 701 $aMele?ndez$b Juan$f1974-$01842672 701 $aHerna?ndez$b Erik$0725291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020157103321 996 $aDesign and characterization of integrated varactors for RF applications$94422863 997 $aUNINA
