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 ...
This paper presents a new modeling methodology accounting for generation and propagation of minority carriers that can be used directly in circuit-level simulators in order to estimate coupled parasitic currents. The model is based on a new compact model o ...

Wireless communication systems and handset devices are showing a rapid growth in consumer and military applications. Applications using wireless communication standards such as personal connectivity devices (Bluetooth), mobile systems (GSM, UMTS, WCDMA) an ...
The quickening pace of the MOSFET technology scaling has pushed the MOSFET dimension towards 10 nanometer channel length, where it is going to face the following fundamental and performance limiting factors: (i) electrostatic limits, (ii) source to drain t ...
Accurate modeling and efficient parameter extraction of a small signal equivalent circuit of MOS transistors for high-frequency operation are presented. The small-signal equivalent circuit is based on the quasi-static approximation which was found to be ad ...
The IGBT transistor, associating the conduction advantages of the bipolar transistor and the switching advantages of the MOSFET transistor, is widely used in medium and high power applications with an operating voltage of 1.2kV to 4.5kV. New topologies, re ...
This paper discusses techniques, limitations and possible future developments of circuits based on transistors operated in the weak inversion (w.i.) mode, also called subthreshold mode. In analog circuits, w.i. is reached at very low current, but it is als ...

In this paper we analyse a new type of silicon strain sensor based on the piezo- tunneling effect in a silicon lateral backward diode. The implantation profiles of the junction have been optimised to obtain a prevailing tunneling current at the reverse bia ...
The recently proposed PIMOS transistor can offer, by appropriate operation, non-hysteretic abrupt off-on transitions due to impact ionization if the action of its parasitic bipolar transistor is minimized. This work proposes non-hysteretic abrupt inverter ...
We report on real-time detection of single electrons inside a n-p-n bipolar junction transistor at room temperature. Single electrons injected through the base-emitter junction trigger with a high probability the avalanche breakdown of the strongly reverse ...
