Optocoupling in CMOS

For on-chip data communication with galvanic isolation, a monolithically integrated optocoupler is strongly desired. For this purpose, silicon (Si) avalanche mode LEDs (AMLEDs) offer a great potential. However such AMLEDs have a relatively low internal qua ...

Towards high-performance polarity-controllable FETs with 2D materials, 2018 Design

Giovanni De Micheli, Giovanni Vincenzo Resta, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon

As scaling of conventional silicon-based electronics is reaching its ultimate limit, two-dimensional semiconducting materials of the transition-metal-dichalcogenides family, such as MoS2 and WSe2, are considered as viable candidates for next-generation ele ...

Characterization and Modeling of Gigarad-TID-Induced Drain Leakage Current of 28-nm Bulk MOSFETs

Christian Enz, Farzan Jazaeri, Chunmin Zhang, Federico Faccio

This paper characterizes and models the effects of total ionizing dose (TID) up to 1 Grad(SiO2) on the drain leakage current of nMOSFETs fabricated with a commercial 28-nm bulk CMOS process. Experimental comparisons among individual nMOSFETs of various siz ...

A 4.7μW switched-bias MEMS microphone preamplifier for ultra-low-power voice interfaces

Kyojin Choo

This paper presents a switched-bias MEMS microphone preamplifier for an ultra-low-power voice interface. A switched-MOSFET periodically changes the MOSFET between strong inversion and accumulation to inherently reduce 1/f noise. In addition, a proposed cou ...

900 V Reverse-Blocking GaN-on-Si MOSHEMTs With a Hybrid Tri-Anode Schottky Drain

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Minghua Zhu

In this letter, we present high-performance GaN-on-Si metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors with record reverse-blocking (RB) capability. By replacing the conventional ohmic drain with a hybrid tri-anode Schottky drain, a high revers ...

Novel Insight into the Output Current Ripple for Multilevel and Multiphase Converter Topologies

Drazen Dujic, Alexandre François Christe

When it comes to the computation / estimation of the switching losses in a multilevel converter, it is crucial to know the instantaneous value of the output current. If the average output current value is used instead, there is a non negligible error when ...

Influence of ground wire on the initiation of upward leader from 110 to 1000kV AC phase line

Xi Wang, Rong Zeng

The problem of upward leader inception from transmission lines has not been thoroughly discussed, largely because of the difficulty to obtain experimental data under natural circumstances. Previous studies have primarily examined reduced-scale experiments ...
