An imaging pixel unit-cell topology leveraging a photodiode in the forward-bias region is proposed for the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges. The open-circuit voltage pixel (VocP) architecture applied to visible imaging allows for improvement in the effective responsivity of the photodetector, leading to significant enhancement in pixel sensitivity across a wide spectral-range, while relaxing the requirements on the photodiode, and chosen CMOS process. Theoretical analysis is presented to show the operation, response, and performance benefits of the VocP. The pixel topology has been verified in simulation in a 0.13 μm standard CMOS technology, and has also been embedded in an end-to-end readout system model to show the projected performance compared against a conventional 4T-APS.
在可见光和近红外光谱范围内,提出了一种利用正向偏置区域光电二极管的成像像素单元拓扑结构。将开路电压像素(VocP)架构应用于可见光成像,可以提高光电探测器的有效响应率,从而在宽光谱范围内显著提高像素灵敏度,同时降低对光电二极管和所选CMOS工艺的要求。理论分析显示了VocP的运行、响应和性能优势。像素拓扑已经在0.13 μm标准CMOS技术上进行了仿真验证,并且还嵌入到端到端读出系统模型中,以显示与传统4T-APS相比的预计性能。

This work reports the current state of the development of a pixelated readout for nanometer resolution X-ray ptychography applications. A very dense, low-noise and low-power pixel developed in a commercial 65nm CMOS technology is envisioned for such applications, targeting a pixel area of 150 μm × 150 μm, an overall noise of 200e- rms and a power consumption of 150μW per pixel. In the paper, an introduction to the application and an overview of the experimental setup are given, the designed frontend channel is reported and revised in its components and simulation results of the schematic-level design are shown and discussed.

In this paper, a direct modulated Power Line Communication (PLC) technique is presented, which realizes the transmitter part by a switched-capacitor (SC) implementation. It is shown that in terms of energy, latency and costs, the presented transmission scheme is an improvement compared to state-of-the-art carrier based solutions. Two variants of the transmitter will be analyzed that use an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to connect the network nodes differentially, while the supply of the nodes is embedded simultaneously. These PLC approaches have been verified by a discrete component based demonstrator and by a transmitter test chip, fabricated in a 180nm HV-CMOS SOI technology.

Ge enrichment of the GeSbTe (GST) chalcogenide made possible for embedded phase change memories (ePCM) to guarantee the retention level necessary to satisfy the automotive market’s requirements. In Ge-GST devices at the end of the fabrication process memory cells are in the pristine state (virgin) and, in order to be programmed, an activation step is necessary (forming). In this work an investigation on the influence of two back end of the line (BEOL) processes on the virgin state and forming process is presented. A model that accurately replicates both physical and electrical trends is also shown.

Extensive simulation results show that a reasonable accuracy in the threshold voltage setting is achieved regardless PVT variations. Outperformed average current consumption of about 125 nA, excluding reference circuitry, and rise/fall time of 7.9 $mu$s suggest wide field of applications for the proposed circuit, ranging from A/D converters to sensors for biomedical applications.

On the implementation of in-pixel controlled diodes with sensing and energy harvesting capabilities 具有传感和能量收集能力的像素内控制二极管的实现

Energy harvesting plays a crucial role in low-power systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensing nodes. Measuring the illumination level of the scene is desired in such applications. Few studies have explored the possibility of designing image sensors that use photodiodes to harvest energy from the scene to reduce consumption or even achieve a self-powered operation using frame-based approaches. This work aims to validate the switching capabilities of photodiodes independently within a photodiode array. While most studies focus on alternating the harvesting and sensing operation in two different phases, in this approach a fraction of the photodiodes are connected to a global node to harvest energy, while the rest are sensing. This configuration qualifies to design asynchronous imagers and optimize the harvesting operation. The preliminary experimental results reported in this publication emphasize the validity of this asynchronous switching in photodiode arrays.
能量收集在低功耗系统和物联网(IoT)传感节点中起着至关重要的作用。在这样的应用中,需要测量场景的照明水平。很少有研究探索设计图像传感器的可能性,该传感器使用光电二极管从场景中收集能量,以减少消耗,甚至使用基于帧的方法实现自供电操作。这项工作的目的是验证光电二极管在光电二极管阵列内独立的开关能力。虽然大多数研究集中于在两个不同的阶段交替进行收集和传感操作,但在这种方法中,一小部分光电二极管连接到一个全局节点来收集能量,而其余的则用于传感。该配置适合设计异步成像仪并优化采集操作。本出版物中报告的初步实验结果强调了光电二极管阵列中这种异步开关的有效性。

In this paper a low-power, low-noise interface for Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) silicon microphones built in a 55 nm MOSFET technology is presented. The designed interface is made up by a pseudo-differential structure, based on two single-ended Super-Source-Followers with PMOS input device, to reduce Flicker noise contribution that would affect low frequency applications. The challenge of this design regards the implementation in 55 nm of high performance analog cells. The device performs output integrated noise in the [20 Hz 20 kHz] audio band of about -110 dBV(A), with a total power consumption of 270 $mu{mathrm W}$ from a 1.5 V voltage supply. Acoustic Overload Point (AOP) reaches a mean value of 130 dBspl.

This paper presents an amplitude control loop (ACL) for VCO-array-based electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detectors. The proposed ACL enhances the microwave magnetic field (B1) stability over the whole VCO frequency sweep range, against different sample environments and at varying experimental conditions. By introducing a distributed amplitude detection scheme, the proposed ACL implementation can regulate B1 field intensities in injection-locked VCO arrays with reduced loading effects and minimal phase noise degradation. Extracted-level circuit simulations on an example VCO array implementation demonstrate the functionality and excellent achievable performance of the proposed approach.

Silicon Carbide (SiC), with its superior electronic properties, is recognized as one of the most promising candidates for the new generation of optoelectronic devices. In the present work, a preliminary study about a graphene/4H-SiC Schottky junction photodiode operating in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range was performed. In particular, we report about the fabrication and the electro-optical characterization of the first - to the best of our knowledge - graphene/4H-SiC-based Schottky near-infrared photodetector. Ten devices, with the same geometry, were electrically characterized, the I-V plot shows a good rectifying behavior, with a series resistance of 60±23 Ω, an ideality factor of 7±1, and a zero-bias Schottky barrier height of 0.55±0.05 eV. Concerning the optical characterization, it was performed at the wavelength of λ=785 nm, which is far away from the absorption edge of the used wide bandgap semiconductor. The maximum internal responsivity without bias-voltage was evaluated as 0.12 mA/W. Even if the measured responsivity is still limited, we believe that this device can pave the way to investigations on near-infrared Schottky photodetectors based on graphene/4H-SiC junctions, useful for communications at the common fiber optic wavelengths.
碳化硅(SiC)以其优越的电子性能,被公认为新一代光电器件最有前途的候选者之一。本文对工作在近红外(NIR)光谱范围内的石墨烯/4H-SiC肖特基结光电二极管进行了初步研究。特别地,我们报告了据我们所知的第一个石墨烯/ 4h - sic基肖特基近红外光电探测器的制造和电光特性。对具有相同几何形状的10个器件进行了电性表征,I-V图显示出良好的整流行为,串联电阻为60±23 Ω,理想因子为7±1,零偏肖特基势垒高度为0.55±0.05 eV。在光学表征方面,在λ=785 nm的波长处进行,该波长远离所使用的宽禁带半导体的吸收边缘。无偏置电压时的最大内部响应度为0.12 mA/W。即使测量到的响应率仍然有限,我们相信该装置可以为基于石墨烯/4H-SiC结的近红外肖特基光电探测器的研究铺平道路,该探测器可用于普通光纤波长的通信。

In the present work, a preliminary study about a graphene/4H-SiC Schottky junction photodiode operating in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range was performed. In particular, we report about the fabrication and the electro-optical characterization of the first - to the best of our knowledge - graphene/4H-SiC-based Schottky near-infrared photodetector. Ten devices, with the same geometry, were electrically characterized, the I-V plot shows a good rectifying behavior, with a series resistance of 60±23 Ω, an ideality factor of 7±1, and a zero-bias Schottky barrier height of 0.55±0.05 eV.
