The main topic of this thesis is the fabrication and characterization of structures smaller than the wavelength of light, for operation in the visible or near infrared spectral range. In the first part of this thesis, the fabrication of periodic structures ...
Printability of a very-large-scale integration design is assessed by: during a training phase, generating a training set of very-large-scale integration design shapes representative of a population of very-large-scale integration design shapes, obtaining a ...
Technology scaling improves the energy, performance, and area of the digital circuits. With further scaling into sub-45nm regime, we are moving toward very low supply (VDD) and threshold voltages (VT), smaller VDD/VT ratio, high leakage current, and large ...
In this paper we present current mode, programmable, binary tree MIN/MAX filters designed for nonlinear data processing. Proposed circuits can be used in image filtration, to realize operations such as erosion or dilatation that are useful in noise reducti ...
Today's consumer electronics based on a large variety of time-keeping and frequency reference applications is based on quartz-crystal oscillators, because of their excellent performances in terms of quality factor, thermal and frequency stability. However, ...
In a semiconductor market dominated by portable consumer applications, embedded flash memory technology has experienced a rapid diffusion. It is now considered the preferred solid-state memory solution for its non-volatile characteristics, high read and wr ...
Accurate statistical modeling and simulation are keys to ensure that integrated circuits (ICs) meet specifications over the stochastic variations inherent in IC manufacturing technologies. Backward propagation of variance (BPV) is a general technique for s ...
In ultra-low-power (ULP) applications, the supply voltage is generally reduced well below threshold voltage of MOS devices in order to limit dissipation and to control the device leakage current due to the subthreshold channel residual current. However, re ...

In this paper, we present an experimental current-mode Kohonen neural network (KNN) implemented in a CMOS 0.18 μm process. The network contains four output neurons. Each neuron has three analog weights related to three inputs. The presented KNN has been re ...
The floating gate (FG) potential VFG in a non–volatile flash memory (NVM) device is the main parameter controlling the behavior of the cell. A common technique to model VFG is based on the calculation of the coupling coefficients between all the terminals ...
