Small-world (SW) network-enabled 3D NoC (3D SWNoC) is capable of achieving better performance and lower energy consumption compared to conventional 3D MESH architectures. However, the 3D SWNoC still suffers from high power density and the resultant thermal hotspots leading to functionality and reliability concerns over time. The power consumption and thermal profiles of the 3D SWNoC can be improved...
Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) is an emerging nanoscale technology that combines mechanical and electrical effects in devices. A variety of NEMS-based devices have been proposed for integrated chip designs. Amongst them are near-ideal digital switches. The electromechanical principles that are the basis of these switches impart the capability of extremely low power switching characteristics...
We describe microfluidic channel assisted carbon nanotube (CNT) alignment followed by microfabrication and characterization of a suspended CNT thin film. The alignment of CNT is enhanced by heating the CNT dispersion, which is characterized with Raman spectroscopy yielding a high G- to D-band intensity ratio of 22 along the microfluidic flow direction. The sidewall of CNT film pattern, left in a lift-off...
An all single-walled carbon nanotube film was deposited through layer-by-layer self-assembly without use of a copolymer, resulting in 75% reduction of resistivity compared to previous composite films made with copolymer. The deposited film thickness could be well controlled by changing the number of dipping cycles. Moreover, a 3-terminal electromechanical switch built with this thin film behaved like...
We investigated the effect of the electrode material on the electrical-switching characteristics (i.e., electrical-switching behavior, switching voltage, and on/off current ratio) of a nonvolatile resistive-memory device based on an active poly(o-anthranilic acid) thin film. The switching characteristics of the active polymer layer were found to depend strongly on the bottom-electrode (BE) material...
