This paper presents the open-source Python-based parameter extractor (SEKV-E) for the simplified EKV (sEKV) model, which enables the modern low-power circuit designs with the inversion coefficient design methodology. The tool extracts the essential sEKV pa ...
Today, we are witnessing the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, which facilitates and improves our
lives in many aspects, but comes with several challenges related to the technology deployment at
large scales. Handling ever growing amounts of information ...
Like integrated electronics, integrated photonics such as Silicon Photonics benefit from increased device-density on a single chip. Silicon is an excellent material for integrated photonics because its high refractive index allows devices to be made small, ...
Substantial downscaling of the feature size in current CMOS technology has confronted digital designers with serious challenges including short channel effect and high amount of leakage power. To address these problems, emerging nano-devices, e.g., Silicon ...
The paper presents a new initialization mechanism based on a Convex Combination Method (CCM) for Kohonen self-organizing Neural Networks (NNs) realized in the CMOS technology. A proper selection of initial values of the neuron weights exhibits a strong imp ...
An universal remote powering and communication system is presented for the implantable medical devices. The system be interfaced with different sensors or actuators. A mobile external unit controls the operation of the implantable chip and reads the sensor ...
Modern society is dependent on reliable electricity for security, health, communication, transportation, finance, computers and nearly all aspects of the contemporary life. Providing reliable electricity is a very complex challenge. It involves real-time m ...
Self-aligned lateral dual-gate suspended-body single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors (CNFETs) have been demonstrated. A nano-precision assembly method using resist-assisted ac-dielectrophoresis is applied. Superior I-V characteristics ...
A sixth-order low-pass gm-C filter with a very wide tuning range (fc = 100 Hz to 10 MHz) is presented. The wide tuning range has been achieved without using switchable components or programmable building blocks. A single stage folded-cascode transcon ...
