We show that FinFET, a leading transistor architecture candidate of choice for high performance CPU applications, can also be extended for general purpose SoC applications by proper device optimization. We demonstrate superior, best-in-its-class performance to our knowledge, as well as multi-Vt flexibility for low-operating power (LOP) applications. By high-k/metal-gate (HK/MG) and process flow optimizations,...
Reflector antenna structural design is an integrated problem involving structural and electromagnetic performance analysis. The synthetic analysis is discussed in details of reflector antennas based on the coupled mathematical optimization model of structural-electromagnetic performances. The optimization procedure is developed based on the improvement of both the structural performances and electromagnetic...
When utilizing reconfigurable hardware there are many applications that will require more memory than is available in a single hardware block. While FPGAs have tools and mechanisms for building logically larger memories, it often requires developer intervention on word-oriented devices like Massively Parallel Processor Arrays (MPPAs). We examine building larger memories on the Ambric MPPA. Building...
Optical switches are important for applications in optical communications and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to allow for selection of optical paths. In this work, a thermo-optic switch based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is designed. A comparison and optimization of the switch components, including beam splitters, couplers and MZI, is carried out. A 1 × 2 switch using silicon nitride...
A leading edge 32 nm high-k/metal gate transistor technology has been optimized for SoC platform applications that span a wide range of power, performance, and feature space. This technology has been developed to be modular, offering mix-and-match transistors, interconnects, RF/analog passive elements, embedded memory, and noise mitigation options. The low gate leakage of the high-k gate dielectric...
3D video, which consists of a sequence of 3D mesh models, can provide detailed 3D information both in spatial and temporal domain. In this paper, a key frame extraction method has been developed to summarize 3D video by rate-distortion optimization. For this purpose, we introduce an effective feature vector extraction algorithm from 3D video. Prior to key frame extraction, shot detection is performed...
