This paper proposes a new approach to analyze crosstalk of coupled interconnects in the presence of process variations. The suggested method translates correlated process variations into orthogonal random variables by principle component analysis (PCA). combined with polynomial chaos expression (PCE), the technique utilizes Stochastic Collocation Method (SCM) to analyze the system response of coupled...
This paper discusses the design of a 60 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) using a standard low power SOI CMOS process from ST Microelectronics. First, we outline the technology as well as the mm-wave design challenges. Using recent work on coplanar waveguide (CPW) modeling, we describe how it's possible to use parametric, 3D electromagnetic simulation to complete or replace analytical models of on-chip...
For several decades, the output from semiconductor manufacturers has been high volume products with process optimisation being continued throughout the lifetime of the product to ensure a satisfactory yield. However, product lifetimes are continually shrinking to keep pace with market demands. Furthermore there is an increase in dasiafoundrypsila business where product volumes are low; consequently...
This paper presents an innovative structure based on 3 dimensional integration technology, where ultra thin inter layer dielectric enables a dynamic threshold voltage (VTH) control. A sequential process flow is proposed to fabricate 3D devices with dynamically tunable VTH. This ability can be exploited to design SRAMs cells with increased stability and surface density compared to planar technology...
A novel methodology for accurate and efficient static timing analysis is presented in this paper. The methodology is based on finding a frequency domain model for the gates which allows uniform treatment of the gates and interconnects. It is shown that despite the highly nonlinear overall gate model, a frequency domain model of the gate with the model parameters, gate moments, as functions of the...
We demonstrate a ldquotrading time for signalrdquo approach for the measurement of species-specific optical transmission, in ambients rich in particulates, using the example case of a turbulent fluidized bed reactor. The method is introduced on the basis of Monte Carlo simulations, as well as analysis of experimental data, of beam propagation for a range of path lengths, and particle concentrations...
