Polarity Control in Double-Gate, Gate-All-Around Vertically Stacked Silicon Nanowire FETs

Giovanni De Micheli, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Jian Zhang, Michele De Marchi

We fabricated and characterized ambipolar Silicon Nanowire (SiNW) FET transistors featuring two independent Gate-All-Around (GAA) electrodes and vertically stacked SiNW channels. One of the gate electrodes is exploited to dynamically select the polarity of ...

Design and evaluation of a new mechatronic platform for assessment and prevention of fall risks

Silvestro Micera

Background: Studying the responses in human behaviour to external perturbations during daily motor tasks is of key importance for understanding mechanisms of balance control and for investigating the functional response of targeted subjects. Experimental p ...

Compositional timing analysis: power plant protection system case study

Simon Bliudze

We introduce a method for studying temporal behaviour of the so-called Globally Asynchronous, Locally Synchronous (GALS) systems, that is systems consisting of synchronous computing elements communicating over asynchronous channels. Our method is based on ...

Event-based pixel sensitive to changes of color and brightness

Vision sensors whose pixels asynchronously generate informative output events are gathering increasing interest because they can reduce the data latency, rate, and redundancy, while also increasing dynamic range. This paper proposes such a dynamic vision s ...

Performance overview of the quasi-synchronous operation mode in optical burst switching (OBS) networks

Sébastien Rumley, Christian Gaumier, Oscar Pedrola Escriba

Optical burst switching (OBS) is able to operate under both asynchronous and synchronous burst departures. Although the asynchronous approach is generally assumed in OBS owing to its simplicity and low technical requirements, it has been shown that perform ...

Silicon Nanowire Arrays and Crossbars: Top-Down Fabrication Techniques and Circuit Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Mohamed Haykel Ben Jamaa

Several nanowire technologies have emerged recently, providing a way to continue the scaling down of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The opportunities offered at the level of logic circuit design depend on the technology properti ...

An Efficient Gate Library for Ambipolar CNTFET Logic

Giovanni De Micheli, Mohamed Haykel Ben Jamaa

Recently, several emerging technologies have been reported as potential candidates for controllable ambipolar devices. Controllable ambipolarity is a desirable property that enables the on-line configurability of n-type and p-type device polarity. In this ...

Power efficient asynchronous multiplexer for X-ray sensors in medical imaging analog front-end electronics

Pierre-André Farine, Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

This paper presents a new power efficient asynchronous multiplexer(MUX) for application in analog front-endelectronics(AFE) used in X-ray medical imaging systems. Contrary to typica lsynchronous MUXes that have to be controlled by a clock, this circuit fea ...

Multi-Channel Amplifier-Discriminator for Highly Time-Resolved Detection

Matthieu Despeisse, François Eric Powolny

A low-power multi-channel amplifier-discriminator was developed for application in highly time-resolved detection systems. The proposed circuit architecture, so-called Nino, is based on a time-over-threshold approach and shows a high potential for time-res ...

Structured Derivation of Semi-Synchronous Algorithms

André Schiper, Martin Hutle, Zarko Milosevic, Fatemeh Borran, Hagit Albo Attiya

The semi-synchronous model is an important middle ground between the synchronous and the asynchronous models of distributed computing. In this model, processes can detect (timeout) when other processes fail. However, since detection is done by timing out, ...
