Bi-conically tapered single-mode couplers are fabricated using a fiber fusion coupler workstation. Losses found during fabrication are analyzed for a range of elongation. It is found that longer elongations will lower the losses. Theoretically, the losses are due to the taper paths crossing delineating curves. These losses which occur during tapering process are not really adiabatic if part of the signal power is not guided at the end of tapering process. In other words, taper path will not be inside adiabatic region of cladding guidance. It will cross from core-guidance region into lossy region or non-adiabatic region of cladding guidance.

SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) require low temperature processing in order to minimize Boron-out diffusion from the base region. In this paper a novel technique of producing low temperature in-situ Phosphorus doped single-crystal silicon emitters for application in SiGe HBTs is presented. The single-crystal silicon was deposited at a temperature of 670/spl deg/C in a UHV-compatible LPCVD cluster tool. Gummel plots of the fabricated transistors show very ideal base and collector current characteristics. An ultra low emitter resistance of 6.6 /spl Omega/./spl mu/m/sup 2/ was also obtained. The very low emitter resistance is due to very low oxygen dose of 5.3/spl times/10/sup 13/ cm/sup -2/ at the single-crystal silicon emitter/silicon substrate interface. The commercial Silvaco TCAD ATHENA and ATLAS were used to model the DC characteristics of the transistor to validate the results.

Solar cell is optimized to convert solar radiation to electrical current with conversion efficiency as high as possible. Due to their superior performance compared to conventional silicon devices we used the Si/sub x/Ge/sub 1-x/ strained layer for increasing the efficiency of solar cell device. By using simulation's tools, i.e. pc1d version 5.6, we investigate and analysis the performance of Si/sub 0.2/Ge/sub 0.8//Si solar cell, especially open circuit voltage, short circuit current, fill factor which will affect the efficiency of the device. We also compare it with conventional silicon solar cell in order to examine their performances and the thickness of both device structures. The Si/sub x/Ge/sub 1-x/ strained layer we applied contents 80% germanium. Results show that by inserting Si/sub 0.2/Ge/sub 0.8/ strained layer in device structure open circuit voltage and short circuit current has been optimal and the thickness of the device compared to conventional silicon solar cell is 1/17 times.

A low-power high-speed programmable dual modulus divider architecture is presented. The circuit's three building blocks: prescaler, 2- and 5-bit programmable dividers; were designed using high-performance single-phase clocking latch-up circuits rather than the conventional latch-up circuits widely used in digital systems. The dividers operate based on the modulus control and parallel loading concepts, capable of operating within the division ratio of 32-127. The programmable dual-modulus divider with 2.4 GHz maximum operating frequency was designed using the 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. Post parasitics-extracted layout results verify that the total power dissipation was 2.3 mW (at 2.4 GHz, 1.8 V).

Human retina is able to detect the edge of the object by effective mechanism. We designed a CMOS vision chip by modeling retinal cells involved in edge detection. There are several fluctuation factors which affect characteristics of MOSFETs during CMOS fabrication process and this effect appears as output offset of the vision chip. The vision chip detecting edge information from input image is used for input stage of vision systems. Therefore, the output offset affects the efficiency of entire vision system. In order to eliminate the output offset, we designed a vision chip utilizing CDS (correlated double sampling) technique. This vision chip could be used at the input stage for actual applications such as target tracking, fingerprint recognition and human-friendly robots, since it is robust to device mismatches.

In this paper, a case of discolored bondpad is discussed. Failure analysis results showed the discoloration of bondpads was due to pinholes and Si dust around the pinholes. which were introduced during the wafer die sawing process caused by galvanic corrosion. Failure mechanism and characteristics of galvanic corrosion on Aluminium bondpads have been studied in this paper.

A new era began in microelectronics with the advent of integrated circuit (IC) technology. With dramatic improvement of integration technology, the complexities of IC testing has increased and become much more acute. Fault simulation technique for maximization of fault detection in IC testing is presented in this paper. Experiments on ISCAS bench-mark circuits has been conducted and it has been shown that quality test pattern can be generated using proper seed for the pattern generator, which can significantly improve fault coverage and reduce the time in testing IC.

The characterization of the KOH aqueous solution was done in order to study the effects of temperature and KOH concentration on the silicon etching rate for membrane formation. The study was done for temperatures ranging from 65/spl deg/C to 80/spl deg/C and KOH concentration ranging from 15% to 55%. Experiments showed that the temperature of 80/spl deg/C and KOH concentration of 35% will yield the optimum etching rate with the minimum surface roughness. A silicon membrane of thickness 48 /spl mu/m was produced with KOH concentration of 35% at the temperature of 75/spl deg/C for 7 hours and 45 minutes and the etching profile analyzed.

This paper presents an efficient implementation of a VLSI high speed parallel multiplier using the Radix/spl I.bar/4 modified Booth algorithm and the Wallace Tree structure. The design is structured for a n/spl times/m multiplication where n can reach up to 126 bits. The Wallace Tree structure serves to compress the partial product term by a ratio of 3:2. To enhance the speed of operation, carry-look-ahead(CLA) adders are used which is independent on the number of bits of the two operands. An efficient VHDL code was written and successfully simulated and synthesised using Altera's MaxplusII(10.0) and ModelSim3.4 CAD tools.
