A novel voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) sub-band selection circuit to achieve fast phase locked loop (PLL) calibration is presented, which reduces the calibration time by measuring the period difference directly and accomplishing an efficient search for an optimum VCO sub-band. The sub-band selection circuit was implemented in a 0.18 μm CMOS logic process with a PLL using an 8 sub-band VCO. The measured calibration time is less than 3 μs in a VCO frequency range from 600 MHz to 2 GHz. The proposed circuit consumes 0.64 mA at most.

We calculate valence band structures and transport property of HfO 2 gate dielectric surrounded Ge (110) nanowire with a radial force at the boundary of the insulator. The radial force pushes the valence subbands downwards. Most of hole effective masses of top five subbands decrease and densities of states' peaks move down as the force increases. The hole mobility in Ge (110) NW significantly increases with higher force values.

In this paper, we investigate the combined effects of total ionizing dose (TID) and negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) on deep sub-micron pMOSFETs. It is found that the high temperature of the NBT stress induces an annealing effect by removing part of the radiation-induced positive charges. If we choose a relatively low temperature to avoid the annealing effect, a remarkable radiation acceleration effect on device degradation is observed and the lifetime of pMOSFETs significantly reduces due to more radiation-induced new hole traps in the oxide. However, the acceleration effect seems independent of the oxide electric field during NBT stress. The work in this paper indicates that it is important to choose proper NBT stress conditions if we use NBTI to predict the lifetime of the pMOSFETs which operate in the radiation environments.

The impacts of three different strain configurations on both DC and RF performance of n-type silicon nanowire transistors (n-SNWTs) are investigated. It is found that the longitudinal tensile strain is the most efficient in improving the driving current and RF performance of n-SNWTs under the same stress value. In addition, the transverse compressive strain is also beneficial to the performance improvement, and can be combined in the stress engineering. Particularly, transverse biaxial compressive strain can effectively enhance the driving current, and at the same time slightly decrease the off-current of n-SNWT, which is beneficial for high speed and low power design. The results indicate that, due to the unique feature of gate-all-around 1D structure, the strain design in SNWTs, especially the combination of longitudinal strain and transverse strain, can be specially optimized for better device performance.
For the radial boundary force induced in the process, the strain energy distribution and strain tensor components in Ge (110) nanowire (NW) are calculated by finite element method. Based on the strain distribution, we...
