This paper describes a new way of immobilizing Vapochromic Coordination Polymers (VCPs) in micromachined fluorescence chemical sensors. The method involves creating a sheet of post arrays in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to trap and adhere the VCPs to the sensing surface. The method is simple, robust, and employs micro-molding of PDMS polymer. Early results of this preliminary study suggest that, compared...
This paper discusses a defect tolerant and energy economized computing array for the DSP plane of a 3D heterogeneous system on a chip. We present the J-platform, which employs coarse-grain VLSI cells with high functionality, performance, and reconfigurability. The advantages of this approach are high performance, small area and low power compared to FPGAs, and greater flexibility over ASICs. Moreover,...
Continued increase in complexity of digital image sensors means that defects are more likely to develop in the field, but little concrete information is available on in-field defect growth. This paper presents an algorithm to help quantify the problem by identifying defects and potentially tracking defect growth. Building on previous research, this technique is extended to utilize a more realistic...
A fault tolerant active pixel sensor (FTAPS) has been designed and fabricated to correct for point defects that occur in CMOS image sensors both at manufacturing and over the lifetime of the sensor. For some time it has been known that fabrication of CMOS image sensors in processes less than 0.35mum would generate significant performance changes, yet imagers are being fabricated in 0.18mum technology...
