In current researches, various equivalent circuit models have been demonstrated to study the performance of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). However, most of these models are very complex and predominately use SPICE/HSPICE simulations resulting in high computational time. This paper presents a compact RC model for MWCNT interconnects by different analysis of resistance in RC model. Using this approach, an efficient RC model for MWCNT bundle is also proposed here, for the first time. In this work, delay modeling of MWCNT interconnects is performed by using Elmore delay expression (EDE), that has shown good agreement with the reference model. The percentage error of the delay for both MWCNT and MWCNT bundle interconnects is found to be less than 2%.

Lithography is the key technology to scale down a size of integrated circuits that will increase the performance of an electronics device (smaller, faster, cheaper, and low power consumption). There are many lithographic techniques which can produce a nanometer feature size. However, the cost for equipment and mask for those techniques is extremely high. Based on this limitation, this paper introduces an alternative patterning technique called Trimming lithography to produce sub-resolution and sub-wavelength features. The results show that as small as 0.18 μm photoresist linewidth can be produced using the 0.8 μm pattern on a conventional binary mask. The trimming lithography can thus be one of the candidates for future lithography.

This paper presents effect of injection witdh on Magnetotransistor. Emitter area was confined by LOCOS and the injection window size was varied from 4, 5 to 10 microns. With bias current of 3 mA the window size 4 micron gives best sensitivity at 10 mV/T. Measument linearity is 0.1% full scale. voltage gain of 10 was used for minimizing temperature coefficient to be around 7.9 mV/°C measured from 25 to 125 °C. Temperature coefficient divided by sensitivity give us a relative temperature sensitivity of 7.9% T/°C. Second magnetic sensor device has been used for temperature compensation. The second device was config as magnetic field immune then it was used as a temperature offset voltage reference. The added module reduces overall temperature sensitivy down to 0.3% T/°C.

In this paper, we focus on safety-critical applications based on the System-on-Chip (SoC) approach design and using the nano-CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. These systems are present in diverse areas in our life from consumer electronic products to automobile, aerospace, medical, nuclear and military applications. These products could cause injury or loss of human life if they fail or encounter errors. In fact, the malfunctioning of these equipments can be much dangerous which needs special attention to ensure the functionality, quality and dependability of the product. Thus, dependability must be considered from the beginning when designing the system. Therefore, testing should even be considered earlier, intertwined with the design process. The process of designing for better testability is called design for testability (DfT). The first part of the paper presents a DfT technique using a new design analog checker circuit to assure the detection of defects occurring in nano-CMOS analog integrated circuits (ICs). The checker is implemented in full-custom 65nm CMOS technology at 1 V power supply. SPICE simulations of the post-layout extracted CMOS checker, which includes all parasitic, are used to validate the technique and demonstrate the acceptable electrical behaviour of the checke.

A series switched resonator based dual-band oscillator, employing single transistor, is reported. The oscillator employs a semiconductor diode, as switch, to change the resonator's effective length, thereby, controlling the oscillator's negative resistance to shift its output between two desired frequencies. Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS) in conjunction with the electromagnetic simulation tool (EMDS) were used to design the oscillator. The measured characteristics of the fabricated dual-band oscillator, operating near 5.7 GHz and 6.48 GHz, indicate constant output power levels of 4.02 dBm with second harmonic power levels being at least 12 dB below. The measured characteristics also indicate -116.3 dBc/Hz and -95.23 dBc/Hz phase noise levels at 1 MHz offset for the above mentioned two cases, respectively.

This paper presents a new processor array architecture for scalable radix 8 Montgomery modular multiplication algorithm. In this architecture, the multiplicand and the modulus words are allocated to each processing element rather than pipelined between the processing elements as in the previous architectures extracted by ***. Moreover, the multi plier bits are fed serially to the first processing element of the processor array every odd clock cycle. By analyzing this architecture, we found that it has a better performance in terms of area, speed, and power consumption-than the previous radix 8 architecture extracted by ***.

Trimming lithography acts as one of the candidates for next generation lithography. The pattern size can be scaled by adjusting the trim distance that is much bigger than an original design linewidth. The photoresist feature size can be scaled down to 0.18 μm with the 0.9 μm mask and the 0.5 μm resolution exposure tool. However, a pattern density of the line/space pattern is lower than that of other patterning techniques. Different pattern qualities between dense and isolated patterns are explained by a diffraction of the waveform transmitted through the mask slit.

Many photolithography and etching steps for a fabrication of an Air Bearing Surface (ABS) structure which is responsible for the aerodynamic behavior of a read/write head make a significant impact to HDDs overall cost. To reduce a cost/time consuming, the ABS can be fabricated by a technique called "multi-level exposure". This technique focuses on the exposure by changing the TV light intensity after moving the stage to a new position until all positions are completely exposed. The exposed wafer is then developed and etched in a single step to form 3 levels of the ABS structure. The relation between the remaining photoresist (PR) film thickness and the singleand the double-exposure dose can be calculated by using the exponential equations with 95.8% and 91.5% correlation, respectively.

This paper presents a study of effect of deflection length and emitter width on sensitivity of magnetotransistor. The device has been fabrication on standard CMOS technology. It can detect magnetic field applied vertically to the chip. The structure consists of emitter (n-type), base (p-type) and collector (n-type) on silicon p-substrate. The device can sense magnetic field by Hall Effect theory and carrier deflection resulting to difference between base and collector current (ΔI CB ) related to magnetic field (B Z ) strength. From the experiment is comparing emitter width of 4, 5 and 10 micrometer at deflection length of 10 and 20 micrometer. The result shows that increase in injection emitter width cause to the sensitivity decreases and the deflection length of 20 micrometer is the best sensitivity. These results are very useful for developing the magnetotransistor for high sensitivity and performance.
