We are witnessing a growing interest in Networks on Chips (NoC) that is related to the evolution of integrated circuit technology and to the growing requirements in performance and portability of electronic systems. Current integrated circuits contain seve ...
We present a general metallization process for the fabrication of solenoidal micro-coils for high resolution MRI of volume-limited samples. The process allows for the MEMS-compatible batch fabrication of identical coils. Hollow conductors are integrated wi ...
We have designed and fabricated a low-range (ca. 100 mN) thick-film piezoresistive force sensor with a cantilever beam fabricated in LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic). The beam was soldered onto a standard thick-film 25.4 x 12.7 mm signal conditionin ...
The aim of this research is to develop and to evaluate devices and circuits performances based on ultrathin nanograin polysilicon wire (polySiNW) dedicated to room temperature operated hybrid CMOS-"nano" integrated circuits. The proposed polySiNW device is ...
Planar micromachined spiral inductive structures have applications in many areas such as microelectronics components (filters, low-power components, etc), or such as sensors (proximity sensors) and actuators (electromagnetic micromotors, micropumps, micror ...
Integrated circuit (1) comprising: an array of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), a plurality of read-out circuits, each SPADs being coupled to one read-out circuit, wherein at least some of the read-out circuits comprise time-to-digital converters (T ...
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) systems gain an increasing popularity and their development is fast. One of the most important fields of the AI system development are artificial neural networks (ANN’s) which, due to continuous progress in microelect ...
Recent advances in process technology have led to a rapid increase in the density of integrated circuits (ICs). Increased density and the need to test for new types of defects in nanometer technologies have resulted in a tremendous increase in test applica ...
Inductive proximity sensors are widely used for the contactless measurement of object or target displacement and position in numerous technical products and systems. They are found in various application domains such as transportation, robots, assembly lin ...
In this paper we present an application of simulated annealing to the detailed routing of integrated circuits. This application is based on local modifications to a simple, but generally inacceptable, initial configuration. The new configurations so genera ...
