The one dimensional (1D) and quasi-two dimensional (Q2D) methods were applied to estimate and analyze the thermal resistance of the previous boiling experiments with silicon and copper micro channel wick structures. The variations of temperature and thermal resistance with different heat loads were shown, and the 1D and Q2D methods were used for calculation and comparison with experimental data. The results show that the Q2D method can predict the thermal resistance with a higher accuracy because the spreading resistance is unignorable and should be considered. The present results can be a useful reference for future thermal and cooling designs.

This paper presents the design and experimental results of a continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta (ΣΔ) modulator and low noise amplifier (LNA) with data-weighted average (DWA) technology. A new image-reject low noise amplifier is designed for ECG communication and bio-signal wireless acquisitions. An inter-stage T-structure filter is used in the low noise amplifier design to provide 35-dB image rejection. The DWA technique is used for reducing DAC noise due to component mismatches. Experimental results show the ΣΔ modulator achieves 54-dB dynamic range, 51-dB SNR, and 48-dB SNDR over a 10-MHz signal bandwidth with an oversampling ratio (OSR) of 8, while dissipating 19.8 mW from a 1.2-V supply, which can be used for electroencephalogram (EEG) or electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquisition systems by wireless sensor and communication. This provided sensor setup CO2 concentration detecting instruments on chip. Oxygen generator will real time to support when sensor monitor and wireless send bio-signal to doctor or health cloud.

In this work, optimized signal transmission schemes are proposed to improve the signal transmission speed and area efficiency of high density embedded DRAM (eDRAM). As in the schemes, overdrive scheme is adopted to enhance the drive capability of read word-line (RWL) inverters and reduce inverters area overhead, optimized signal transmission path scheme is proposed to reduce signal transmission loading, and a Vth loss compensation and signal path pre-charge technology are also adopted to improve the data access speed. The proposed schemes are implemented in 1Mb eDRAM on 65nm CMOS technology node. Calculation and simulation results present 20% area reduction on RWL pull-down inverters and 10% data access speed improvement.

High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) is widely used in the study of various RRAM materials system. HRTEM can provide detailed cross sectional characterization of RRAM devices with compositional and structural information at the same time. Recently, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques have also been explored to study oxygen vacancy based RRAM switching with detailed surface, electron energy and tomography information. This paper will introduce the recent RRAM switching studies enabled by advanced physical analysis techniques.

La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) toroidal inductors sintered at 1300°C for various sintering time have been fabricated for magnetic field sensing. The complex permeability spectra show relaxation character due to domain wall displacement. As the sintering time increases, the permeability increases and the resonance frequency fr decreases. Under applied magnetic field, the permeability decreases and fr increases. Large shift of fr by low fields was observed. The 8 hr sintering sample exhibits a best magnetic field to frequency transfer ratio of 5.13 kHz/G. Our measured results indicate that LSMO is a promising material for the design and fabrication of low-cost magnetic field sensors.

This paper proposes a temperature measurement method using a giant magnetoresistive sensor as a sensing resistor based on Johnson noise thermometry. Experiments were performed to verify this approach. The results demonstrate the reliability of this approach with error less than 2.3% in the temperature range from 303 K to 423 K, which can enable a multifunctional spintronic sensor detecting temperature and magnetic field.

A sub-GHz broadband RF transceiver for wireless sensor network nodes in Internet of Things was designed and implemented in 130nm CMOS process. Several methods like noise cancellation, inverter-based amplifier, 25% duty cycle LO specially for passive current-mode mixer are adopted and combined in the design process. The receiver presents -85dBm sensitivity at a packet error ratio of 1% and transmitter provides emission power up to 12dBm and error vector magnitude better than -30dBc. High data rate of 54Mbps can be measured, which substantially exceeds the common data rate of 100k-2Mbps of most mainstream wireless sensor network nodes.
