This paper carefully analyzes various charge-trapping NAND Flash devices including SONOS, MANOS, BE-SONOS, BE-MANOS, and BE-MAONOS. The erase mechanisms using electron de-trapping or hole injection, and the role of the high-k top dielectric (Al2O3) are critically examined. In addition to the intrinsic charge-trapping properties, the STI edge geometry in the NAND array also plays a crucial role in determining the programming/erasing and reliability characteristics. Erase saturation and incremental-step-pulse programming (ISPP) characteristics are strongly affected by the STI edge effects. Our analysis of recent progress provides a clear understanding to charge-trapping NAND devices and serves as a guideline for future development.

An efficient encoding scheme is proposed for folding ADC. In the encoder, XOR-OR encoding algorithm and dynamic domino circuit are adopted. A novel method for wide-range error correction and bit synchronization is presented. Simulation results show that the proposed encoder has several advantages: high speed, low power dissipation and small chip area.

Precise two-dimensional current and capacitance modeling of short-channel, nanoscale multigate MOSFETs is presented. The model covers a wide range of operating regimes, geometries and material combinations. The modeling in the subthreshold regime is based on conformal mapping techniques. In moderate to strong inversion, we obtain self-consistent results based on the 2-D Poisson¿s equation. The results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Micromirrors with large scan ranges, large aperture sizes, fast speeds, low voltages and low cost are needed for optical switching, displays and biomedical imaging, but it is very challenging to simultaneously meet all the requirements. This paper introduces electrothermal bimorph based micromirrors that can overcome the challenge. For example, a large-vertical-displacement (LVD) micromirror scans 0.7 mm vertically at less than 25 Vdc. A lateral-shift-free (LSF) LVD generates a piston motion of 0.6 mm and scans more than 30° about two axes at less than 8 Vdc. An inverted-series-connected (ISC) micromirror scans ±30° about two axes with no rotation axis shifts. All these mirrors have an optical aperture of 1 mm. Their resonant frequencies range from 300 Hz to 2 kHz. Some of these micromirrors have been applied in biomedical imaging applications.

This paper describes the design of a polyphase filter in GSM receiver with low-IF topologies, using the circuit scheme of active-RC with the performance of single chip integrated. Based on TSMC 0.18 ¿m CMOS process, the Spectre simulation results indicate that the filter is centered at 110 kHz with 200 kHz of bandwidth. It has a voltage gain of about 30 dB, an image rejection ratio of about 38 dB. The power consumption is 4.2 mW under a 3 V power supply.

With a simple analysis of phase noise in voltage-controlled oscillators, a 2.4 GHz CMOS LC VCO is designed in 0.18 ¿m CMOS technology. The proposed VCO uses three filters to remove noise from the tail current source, the reference current source, and the output node of VCO core. The VCO has a tuning range from 2.29 GHz to 2.59 GHz, while the VCO core draws 3 mA of current from 1.8 V power supply. The achieved phase noise is -138 dBc/Hz at 3 MHz offset and -103.1 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency.

A promising combination of the semiconductor integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) with the lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is brought in this paper. In this paper, we propose a new technology which enables monolithic integration of the self-assembled biological system, the MEMS structure, the microfluidic system, and CMOS electronic circuits together. Utilizing this approach, more functionality is introduced into the SoC, while the LOC becomes more intelligent and controllable. A post-CMOS fabrication approach that meets the requirements is demonstrated to validate the idea.

In this work we propose an analytical model for the gate current 1/f noise in CMOS devices. The model is based on a simple idea: one electron trapped in the dielectric switches-off the tunneling through the oxide over an effective blocking area. The model allows evaluating the effective trap density inside the gate dielectric as a function of energy from measurements of the gate current 1/f noise versus gate voltage. Experimental data on advanced CMOS devices confirm the validity and the usefulness of the proposed model.

This paper proposes a quaternary-to-binary logic decoder using current-mode multiple-valued logic (MVL) CMOS circuits. The circuit is achieved a device reduction of 23.5%, an interconnection reduction of 25.0%, and a power-delay-product reduction of 43.1%. Therefore, this circuit is superior to the previous circuit in both the circuit occupied area and the reliability. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed circuits are verified through the HSPICE under Hynix 0.25 um standard CMOS technology with the supply voltage 2.5 V.
