In 1971, the first microprocessor produced in mass production had 2300 transistor and was able to compute 60'000 operations per second at 740 kHz. Nowadays, even a common gaming console uses a central unit including 243 millions of transistors running at 4 ...
We introduce a new organization for multi-bank caches: the skewed-associative cache. A two-way skewed-associative cache has the same hardware complexity as a two-way set-associative cache, yet simulations show that it typically exhibits the same hit ratio ...

There has been an argument on carbon nanotube (CNT) based gas detectors with a field-effect transistor (FET) geometry: do the response signals result from charge transfer between adsorbed gas molecules and the CNT channel and/or from the gas species induce ...

A novel approach for implementing MOS current-mode logic (MCML) circuits that can operate with ultra low bias currents is introduced. Measurements of test structures fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology show that the proposed PMOS load device concept can ...

A new method to release MEMS chips from a wafer without dicing is presented. It can be applied whenever SOI wafers are used that are structured from both the device and the handle side using DRIE. This method enables the release of extremely fragile struct ...

This work reports for the first time on a cascadable NMOS inverter based on punch-through impact ionization MOSFET (PIMOS) integrated on a single body-tied silicon wire. The PIMOS device acts as a single-transistor-latch and shows abrupt current switching ...
This paper presents a process for the co-fabrication of self-aligned NMOS and single electron transistors made by gated polysilicon wires. The realization of SET–MOS hybrid architectures is also reported. The proposed process exploits an original low energ ...
In response to the call for candidates issued by the National Institute for Standards and Technologies (the Advanced Encryption Standard project) the Ecole Normale Superieure proposed a candidate called DFC (Decorrelated Fast Cipher). DFC is based on a dec ...
The productivity of modern society has become inextricably linked to its ability to produce energy-efficient computing technology. Increasingly sophisticated mobile computing systems, powered for hours solely by batteries, continue to proliferate rapidly t ...
