In the realm of high speed semiconductor IC testing, the medium whereby the test signals passed has important role in order to ensure that the signal transmitted and received are the correct signals. One of the media that the signal passed in IC testing is the device interface board or load board in short. Load board is basically a printed circuit board with test socket(s) for inserting device under test (DUT) during the testing. It consists of numerous conductive traces connecting the DUT to the tester. They are carefully designed according to impedance design and control for the task they have to perform for the specific semiconductor devices. Once they are fabricated it is not possible to physically measure the trace length and impedance to validate their correctness since the traces are built internally. TDR has recently been used in the semiconductor industry for transmission line characterization and signal integrity analysis. TDR method was used successfully in this study to verify the trace length and impedance of the fabricated load board used for semiconductor's speed testing. The trace length of the evaluation load board was verified to within 8% accuracy. The trace impedance was measured to be 48 ohms which is very close to the theoretical value of 50 ohm. Thus the TDR method served as an useful tool for verification of the trace length and trace impedance of the load board.
在高速半导体集成电路测试领域中,为了保证发送和接收的信号是正确的信号,测试信号所通过的介质起着重要的作用。在集成电路测试中,信号通过的介质之一是设备接口板或负载板。负载板基本上是带有测试插座的印刷电路板,用于在测试期间插入被测设备(DUT)。它由连接被测设备和测试仪的许多导电走线组成。它们是根据阻抗设计和控制精心设计的,以执行特定半导体器件的任务。一旦它们被制造出来,就不可能物理测量走线长度和阻抗来验证它们的正确性,因为走线是在内部构建的。TDR最近在半导体工业中用于传输线表征和信号完整性分析。采用TDR法对半导体速度测试用负载板的走线长度和阻抗进行了验证。经验证,评估载荷板的轨迹长度精度在8%以内。测得的走线阻抗为48欧姆,与理论值50欧姆非常接近。因此,TDR方法作为验证负载板的走线长度和走线阻抗的有用工具。

In this paper, we have shown that off-state current in the Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) can be reduced dramatically by using a low-k oxide and employing gate work function engineering. In order to enhance Ion/Ioff ratio in the TFET, the effect of second gate employing has been investigated, hence using a low-k oxide for the gate near the drain side (Gate2) resulted in omission of fringing field effects. Therefore, the leakage current is decreased. Also a work function engineering method has been employed for the gate near the source (Gate1) to further reduce the off state current.
在本文中,我们证明了通过使用低k氧化物和栅极功函数工程,可以显著降低隧道场效应晶体管(TFET)的失态电流。为了提高TFET中的离子/离合比,研究了采用第二栅极的影响,因此在漏极附近的栅极(Gate2)上使用低钾氧化物可以忽略边缘场效应。因此,泄漏电流减小。此外,对源附近的栅极(Gate1)采用了功函数工程方法,进一步减小了关断电流。

A programmable compact control mechanism for ultra-Low power Current-Mediated CMOS Imager 一种超低功耗电流介导CMOS成像仪的可编程紧凑控制机制

A novel ultra-low power control mechanism is presented for Mega-pixels current-mediated CMOS imagers. Within the proposed technique, the operating read-out pixel and reset pixel are located in the same column, controlled by only 2-bit lines/pixel compared with 4-bit in previous reported design. The number of transistors for each pixel is reduced from the standard 6 transistors to 4 in the current design. Because the read-out and reset modes are separated into two phases in series for the proposed mechanism, only one reference current source is used, by which the power consumption can further be saved and also the chip area would be shrunk. Minimum wiring overhead is required in the proposed pixel as two control lines are removed. Furthermore, a programmable electronic shutter is adopted to adjust the integration time. The proposed design is simulated using TSMC 0.18um technology, with more than 80% fill factor for a 17×17um2 pixel dimension.
提出了一种用于百万像素电流介导CMOS成像仪的超低功耗控制机制。在提出的技术中,操作读出像素和复位像素位于同一列,仅由2位线/像素控制,而之前报道的设计是4位线/像素。在当前设计中,每个像素的晶体管数量从标准的6个晶体管减少到4个。由于该机制的读出和复位模式串联为两相,因此只使用一个参考电流源,进一步节省了功耗,并缩小了芯片面积。当两条控制线被移除时,在提议的像素中需要最小的布线开销。采用可编程电子快门调节积分时间。所提出的设计采用台积电0.18um技术进行仿真,17×17um2像素尺寸的填充系数超过80%。

General IGBTs are of two basic types, the planar IGBT and the trench IGBT. The trench IGBT has certain advantages when compared with the planar IGBT, such as a lower on-state voltage drop and a smaller cell pitch, but it also has a disadvantage in its lower breakdown voltage. The lower breakdown voltage is caused by the electric field being concentrated in a corner along the bottom of the trench gate. Therefore in this paper we propose a new trench IGBT structure that is designed to offer improved breakdown voltage.
一般的IGBT有两种基本类型:平面IGBT和沟槽IGBT。与平面IGBT相比,沟槽IGBT具有更小的导通压降和更小的电池间距等优点,但其缺点是击穿电压较低。较低的击穿电压是由于电场集中在沿沟槽栅极底部的一个角落造成的。因此,在本文中我们提出了一种新的沟槽IGBT结构,旨在提供更高的击穿电压。

In this paper, an adjustable reset pulse phase frequency detector (PFD) for phase-locked loop (PLL) is proposed and analyzed. The proposed PFD adjust the width of the reset pulse when the reference clock and the feedback clock of the PLL are in phase to reduce the static phase error at the PLL output. The proposed PFD is implemented using 45nm CMOS thin oxide device with a 0.9-V supply voltage. A comparison between PLL using proposed PFD architecture and PLL using conventional PFD architecture is done. The pre-layout simulation results show a reduction of ∼61% in static phase error when the proposed PFD is implemented on the PLL compared to when the conventional PFD is implemented.

In this paper, a new self-testing method for combinational circuits backed up with polymorphic gates is presented. Testing feature is completely merged with normal circuit operation where the single stuck at fault model is applied. Experimental results show that our method is able to detect all stuck-at-faults with reduced number of test vectors and insignificant amount of redundancy and high fault detection probability compared to other methods. Also, the proposed approach can be scaled up to utilize in testing of not only small scale, but also large scale circuits.

Display is the most power-hungry component in electronics industry. Power-efficient design is strongly required in thin film transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) portable products. This work proposes a unified parameterization technique for modeling and multi-objective optimization of TFT-LCD panel using a two-stage response surface model (RSM) and genetic algorithm (GA). To achieve designing specification in circuit and system levels with minimal power consumption simultaneously, a power-delay product is considered as the object function of the TFT-LCD panel optimization. Simulation-validated RSMs and GA are thus implemented into a unified optimization framework for the design optimization problem. Comparing with the conventional design flow using CAD tools, a 21.5% reduction in the power-delay of TFT-LCD panel is achieved with 95% accuracy. Moreover, the time required for the optimization process is significantly reduced by 288 times. We notice that the proposed unified parameterization technique is object flexible and can further optimize the multi-objective system performances (i.e. crosstalk, leakage current, brightness, etc.). The unified parameterization framework may benefit the high performance display panel design in the photonics industry.
显示器是电子工业中最耗电的部件。薄膜晶体管液晶显示(TFT-LCD)便携式产品对节能设计提出了强烈的要求。本文提出了一种基于两阶段响应面模型(RSM)和遗传算法(GA)的TFT-LCD面板统一参数化建模和多目标优化技术。为了以最小的功耗同时达到电路级和系统级的设计要求,将功率延迟积作为TFT-LCD面板优化的目标函数。仿真验证的rsm和遗传算法被实现到一个统一的优化框架中,用于设计优化问题。与使用CAD工具的传统设计流程相比,TFT-LCD面板的功率延迟降低了21.5%,精度达到95%。此外,优化过程所需的时间显著减少了288倍。我们注意到,所提出的统一参数化技术具有对象柔性,可以进一步优化多目标系统性能(如串扰、漏电流、亮度等)。统一的参数化框架将有利于光电子工业中高性能显示面板的设计。

The design and implementation details of a 4-bit time interleaved Successive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converter (ADC) for UWB application is presented in this paper. Major contribution of this paper is the proposal for a novel digital to analog converter (DAC) architecture which reduces the area required for capacitors by a factor of three, while the maximum error due mismatch between capacitors is reduced by 33% compared to the architecture reported in the literature. The ADC is implemented in .18µm CMOS technology and has total power consumption of 17.6mw at sampling frequency of 500MS/s for an input swing of 1V peak to peak. Proposed SAR ADC gives SNDR of 23.7dB, SFDR of 31.5dB and THD of −32.2dB at Nyquist rate. The proposed ADC enables the input swing to be increased by 25% while maintaining Figure of merit same compared to a SAR ADC reported in the literature.

Digitally programmable delay elements (DPDE) are required to be monotonic and low power. In this paper, a low power digitally programmable delay element (DPDE) with monotonic delay characteristics is proposed. A dynamic current mirror together with a feedback technique enables a current-on-demand operation. To avoid direct currents in the output transistors, an extra inverter is introduced to independently control the NMOS of the output inverter. The static power is eliminated while dynamic power is made proportional to the delay with a maximum of 36uW when the unit is operating at 450MHz.

An extension to a formal verification approach of hybrid systems is proposed to verify analog and mixed signal (AMS) designs. AMS designs can be formally modeled as hybrid systems and therefore lend themselves to the formal analysis and verification techniques applied to hybrid systems. The proposed approach employs simulation traces obtained from an actual design implementation of AMS circuit blocks (for example, in the form of SPICE netlists) to carry out formal analysis and verification. This enables the same platform used for formally validating an abstract model of an AMS design, to be also used for validating its different refinements and design implementation; thereby, providing a simple route to formal verification at different levels of implementation. The feasibility of the proposed approach is demonstrated with a case study based on a tunnel diode oscillator. Since the device characteristic of a tunnel diode is highly non-linear with a negative resistance region, dynamic behavior of circuits in which it is employed as an element is difficult to model, analyze and verify within a general hybrid system formal verification tool. In the case study presented the formal model and the proposed computational techniques have been incorporated into CheckMate, a formal verification tool based on MATLAB and Simulink-Stateflow Framework from MathWorks.
提出了对混合系统形式化验证方法的扩展,以验证模拟和混合信号(AMS)设计。AMS设计可以正式建模为混合系统,因此适合应用于混合系统的形式分析和验证技术。所提出的方法采用从AMS电路块的实际设计实现中获得的仿真轨迹(例如,以SPICE网络列表的形式)来进行形式化分析和验证。这使得用于正式验证AMS设计的抽象模型的相同平台也可用于验证其不同的改进和设计实现;因此,提供了在不同实现级别进行正式验证的简单途径。以隧道二极管振荡器为例,验证了该方法的可行性。由于隧道二极管的器件特性是高度非线性的,具有负电阻区,因此在一般的混合系统形式化验证工具中,将其作为元件的电路的动态行为难以建模、分析和验证。在案例研究中提出的形式化模型和提出的计算技术已被纳入CheckMate,一个基于MATLAB和MathWorks的simulink -状态流框架的形式化验证工具。
