This paper analyzes the formation energy and electronic structure of Li-N co-doped diamond by the method of the first-principles density-functional theory (DFT). We found that the Li-N co-doped diamond shows the shallow donor level mainly contributed by the N-2s states and N-2p states for the first time. Meanwhile, the doping efficiency of Li in diamond can be improved by the introduction of N atom. As a result, the n-type doping of diamond with practical dopants becomes possible.

This paper presents a lossless compression method dealing with the data in real time kinematic (RTK) system, which is an aggregation of frame difference and dictionary compression (AFD). AFD can exert advantage of pipeline hardware; reduce the amount of data transmission as to save energy. Experiment results showed that the compression time of typical RTK data was only 0.2 milliseconds, and the average compression ratio reduced by almost 20% compared with several classical compression methods.

Data compression technology is the necessary technology in the age of big data. Compared with software compression techniques, hardware compression techniques can improve speed and reduce power consumption. LZMA is a lossless compression technology, and its hardware implementation has broad application prospects. This paper proposes a novel high-performance implementation of the LZMA compression algorithm capable of processing up to 125Mbps on a Virtex-6 FPGA chip. Then presents a typical application and its compression performance for a specific data sample.

This paper presents a low-power, area-efficient and widerange offset calibration technique for the high-speed and highresolution comparator. The proposed technique with the low power charge pump significantly reduces the offset voltage (one sigma) from 39mV to 380μV. Without the requirements of capacitors array and extra reference voltage or bias currents, power dissipation and area are greatly reduced. Simulated results show that the comparator with calibration achieves 380μV offset operating at 3 GHz in 55nm CMOS technology with only 23.3μ W in calibration.

A three-dimensional MnCo2S4@NiCo(OH)2 (MCS@NCOH) core-shell nanostructure is grown on nickel foam by a simple and facile method which includes a hydrothermal treatment and an electrochemical deposition. The MnCo2S4 (MCS) nanorod arrays not only show excellent electrochemical performance by themselves, but also use as effective scaffolds to load additional active materials for enhancing the capacitance of the electrode. After adding a thin layer of NiCo(OH)2 nanosheet on Ni foam-MnCo2S4 electrode, the mechanical stability of the whole electrode is reinforced with larger electro-active surface area, richer redox reactions and good electrical conductivity to facilitate electron transport and ion diffusion, resulting in higher charge storage capacity. The Ni foam-MnCo2S4-NiCo(OH)2 hybrid electrodes are further assembled into a solid-state supercapacitor (SC) which exhibits a high energy density of 95 mWh/m2, power density of 55.4 W/m2 and good rate capability.

Modular multiplier is the key to implement RSA algorithm. This paper proposes the design of an 8192-bit residue number system (RNS) Montgomery multiplier based on Cox-Rower architecture. To accelerate the reduction unit, we select modulo with a small Hamming weigh, and modulo are grouped by the number of Rowers. Each Rower unit only needs to support the reduction processes of one group of modulo instead of all modulo, thus eliminating the redundancy of the conventional structure and reducing delay and area of reduction units. Our reduction unit is smaller and faster than classic reduction unit. In SMIC μm, one 8192-bit modular multiplication is accomplished in 8056 ns at the cost of 1240 KG.

This paper proposes the use of FIR+SC DAC in sigma delta modulator is an approach to balance insensitivity to clock jitter noise and power efficiency. An example is implemented in UMC 180nm technology and simulation results show that it achieves SNDR 77.2dB and 83 μW power consumption in 100kHz bandwidth, which corresponds to FoMw 71fJ/conv.

This paper gives a general overview on the methods to reduce interconnect resistance and capacitance in a standard CMOS technology followed by a discussion on the physical constraints that dictate the minimum achievable loading. A newly demonstrated method that uses carbon-nanotube to assist the formation of vertically aligned porous structure is studied. The method was shown to be able to reduce the dielectric constant of the interlayer dielectric to an extremely low value below 2.0 with reasonable physical strength. The potential of this method to be used in main-stream production technology is investigated.

A new CMOS readout circuit with non-uniformity calibration for diode uncooled infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) is presented in this paper. A new transconductance amplifier with offset cancellation structure is proposed, utilizing output offset voltage storage. The bias current of each pixel is adjusted by a current splitting DAC array, calibrating the mismatch of the current sources and the non-uniformity of the IRFPA. The proposed circuit prototype with 32 readout channels is fabricated using a 0.35 μm standard CMOS process. The measured results show that the average output offset voltage is decreased by 94% after offset cancellation. The current splitting DAC array shows a DNL/INL less than 2 LSB.
