this paper presents a low-power 14-bit hybrid incremental Σ-Δ/cyclic analog-to-digital converter(ADC) based on pseudo-differential operational amplifier, which is designed for the readout circuit of infrared focal plane array *** two-stage hybrid ADC employs an incremental sigma-delta ADC and a cyclic ADC, achieving a good trade-off between accuracy and conversion speed. The two stages share the same analog circuit to reduce area and power consumption. A common-mood feedback module is used to suppress the influence of charge injection, and the effectiveness is demonstrated by detailed theoretical analysis and simulation result. A test chip is fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The hybrid ADC in each column is performed in parallel with power consumption of218.813 μW. The simulation result reveals the effective number of bits(ENOB) is 13.775 bits.

A physics-based compact model is developed to capture the essential resistive switching behaviors of conductive-bridge random access memory (CBRAM) under DC and AC operations. Three types of evolution modes of conductive filament correlated with material properties and operation schemes are modeled based on experimental observations. By modeling the temperature and electric-field effects as well as the electrical conduction, the model can well reproduce the DC and AC switching characteristics in different material stacks and operation modes. The calibrated model can be further implemented into SPICE to evaluate and optimize the array performance of CBRAM as a device-circuit-system co-design tool.

The InGaAs/InAIAs/InP high electron mobility transistor (HEM:F) structures with lattice-matched and pseudo- morphic channels are grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. Effects of Si ^-doping condition and growth interruption on the electrical properties are investigated by changing the Si-cell temperature, doping time and growth process. It is found that the optimal Si ^-doping concentration (Nd) is about 5.0 x 1012 cm-2 and the use of growth interruption has a dramatic effect on the improvement of electrical properties. The material structure and crystal interface are analyzed by secondary ion mass spectroscopy and high resolution transmission elec- tron microscopy. An InGaAs/InAiAs/InP HEMT device with a gate length of lOOnm is fabricated. The device presents good pinch-off characteristics and the kink-effect of the device is trifling. In addition, the device exhibits fT = 249 GHa and fmax 〉 400 GHz.

The fact that in organic semiconductors the Hubbard energy is usually positive appears to be at variance with a bipolaron model to explain magnetoresistance (MR) in those systems. Employing percolation theory, we demonstrate that a moderately positive U is indeed compatible with the bipolaron concept for MR in unipolar current flow, provided that the system is energetically disordered, and the density of states (DOS) distribution is partially filled, so that the Fermi level overlaps with tail states of the DOS. By exploring a broad parameter space, we show that MR becomes maximal around U=0 and even diminishes at large negative values of U because of spin independent bipolaron dissociation. Trapping effects and reduced dimension enhance MR.

A new leakage-tolerant true single-phase clock dual-modulus prescaler based on a stage-merged scheme is presented. Leakage-restricting transistors are used to reduce the leakage currents at critical nodes and leakage-related malfunctions are eliminated at minimal cost in terms of speed, power and area overheads. An HSPICE simulation in a 40 nm process shows that the proposed divide-by-2/3 divider can effectively enhance robustness against leakage currents to extend the low frequency limit of the circuit over wide temperature and threshold voltage ranges. Additionally, the proposed design shows speed and power performance that is comparable to the performance levels of referenced designs.

In this paper, oxidation of Ge surface by N2O plasma is presented and experimentally demonstrated. Results show that 1.0-nm GeO2 is achieved after 120-s N20 plasma oxidation at 300 ℃. The GeO2/Ge interface is atomically smooth. The interface state density of Ge surface after N20 plasma passivation is about - 3 × 1011 ***-1. With GeO2 passivation, the hysteresis of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor with A1203 serving as gate dielectric is reduced to - 50 mV, compared with - 130 mV of the untreated one. The Fermi-level at GeO2/Ge interface is unpinned, and the surface potential is effectively modulated by the gate voltage.

We present modeling and simulations of graphene coplanar waveguide(GCPW) under the frequency up to 50 GHz. Our simulation results show that the dimensions of GCPW greatly influence its insertion loss. In addition, different graphene layer numbers and structures of graphene-metal contact were also considered. We show that the usage of few-layer graphene and end-contact structure is able to decrease the insertion loss, which helps improve the radio-frequency performance of graphene coplanar waveguide.

A novel architecture of high frequency resolution LC-tank based digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is presented in this paper. The proposed architecture utilizes a differential tapped inductor and a capacitor array within the taps for fine frequency tuning. A prototype of 1.6 GHz DCO integrated in 0.18-μm CMOS technology exhibits a tuning range of 40.2% and a phase noise of -123.6 dBc/Hz@1MHz. With a minimal capacitance step of 7.5 fF, the frequency resolution is improved to 7.6 kHz/LSB. The DCO dissipates 3.2 mA from a 1.8 V supply and occupies an area of 0.46 mm 2 .
