An efficient implementation of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) in JPEG2000 is designed with low memory and high pipeline architecture. Considering the limited dynamic range of wavelet coefficients, a modified scheme of integer-to-integer discrete wavelet transform based on fixed-point manipulation is proposed by preserving efficiently fractions of coefficients in lifting steps. This scheme ensures higher computational precision in DWT and accordingly improves the compression quality. The corresponding line-based FPGA lifting scheme is put forward from hardware perspective. In a parallel way, transform can be row-wise and column-wise executed. Prototyped onto Xilinx Virtex-II FPGA, the proposed architecture requires fewer resources and memory accesses, but reaches a higher processing throughput. Experimental results provide parameters as follows. For an image with resolution 1024×1024, the inputting sampling is up to 61 Mpixels/s when DWT is working at the clock of 65 MHz. Internal memory of only 5 rows is required for the 9/7 filter to perform one-level 2-D decomposition. The completion of multi-level DWT is within the time T that an image is transmitted in line order.

A novel high-input and low-output impedance voltage-mode universal filter with three inputs and single output employing two fully differential current conveyors, two resistors, and two capacitors is proposed. The proposed configuration can realize all the five standard biquadratic filter functions. It maintains the following advantages: (i) employment of only two current conveyors, (ii) employment of only grounded capacitors, (iii) employment of only grounded resistors, (iv) high-input and low-output impedance, (v) no need to employ inverting type input signals, (vi) no need to impose component choice conditions to realize specific filtering functions, and (vii) low active and passive sensitivity performances.

On-chip interconnects form the bottleneck of VLSI system performance. As technology progresses, VLSI on-chip interconnects encounter increasingly significant challenges, such as (1) signal attenuation and (2) crosstalk coupling. This paper proposes two analog/RF design techniques for high performance nanoelectronic on-chip interconnects: (1) application of distributed amplifiers for signal attenuation compensation by reducing interconnect effective resistance, and (2) application of bandpass filters for noise immunity in a frequency separated VLSI on-chip communication system. HSPICE-RF simulation results in 65 nm CMOS technology verify that the proposed analog/RF design techniques achieve improved performance and reliability for high performance nanoelectronic on-chip interconnects.

The utility of the Contact Block Reduction method (CBR) to find the retarded Green¿s function for ballistic quantum devices with semi-empirical tight binding band (TB) models is discussed. This work shows that the original method needs several modifications to be used with TB models. In the common case where two contacts are used for transport in quantum wires, our approach computes the transmission coefficients with much less computing load than the state-of-the-art Recursive Green¿s Function (RGF) algorithm.

In this paper, the characteristics and mechanism of the transition metal oxide (TMO) based resistive switching memory (RRAM) devices were addressed. The results show that doping in oxide matrix materials, electrode material, and operating mode of the set/reset process may significantly affect the resistive switching behaviors of RRAM devices. Optimizing the dopants and matrix materials, electrode materials, device structure, and operating modes and understanding the related mechanisms are required to achieve the excellent device performance of TMO-based RRAM for the memory application. A unified physical model, based on the electron hopping transport between oxygen vacancies along the conductive filament paths, is used to explain and describe the resistive switching behaviors of the TMO based RRAM devices.

A semi-empirical analytical model of the turn-on characteristics of poly-silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) with considering kink effect is presented based on the physical characteristics of poly-silicon thin film. With reference to the approach of modeling the kink effect in SOI devices and considering the grain boundaries in poly-silicon thin film, the dc characteristics of poly-silicon TFT are simulated, including drain induced grain boundary lowering (DIGBL) effect, impact ionization, floating body effect, parasitic bipolar transistor (PBT) effect, etc. The simulation results show a good agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper, the SiC-based clamped-clamped filter was designed and fabricated. The filter was composed of two clamped-clamped beam micromechanical resonators coupled by a spring coupling beam. Structural geometries, including the length and width of the resonator beam and coupling beam, were optimized by simulation for high frequency and high Q, under the material properties of SiC. The vibrating modes for the designed filter structure were analyzed by finite element analysis (FEA) method. For the optimized structure, the geometries of resonator beams and coupling beams, as well as the coupling position, the SiC-based clamped-clamped filter was fabricated by surface micromaching technology.
