Ferrite thin-film RF integrated inductors using IC compatible processes are proposed firstly. Ferrites (Co-based, CoFe-based, MnZn-based, NiZn-based and garnet) for RF integrated inductors are investigated, and CoZrO shows the suitable high-frequency performance for RF applications. Various inductors with different kinds of ferrite thin-films have been fabricated using fully integrated processes. A typical inductor sample with CoZrO thin-film is presented. The L and Q values of the sample are 2.05nH and 20.5 at 2GHz, respectively. The inductance is raised by 17% and the quality factor is raised by 41%, compared with the inductor, which doesn't include ferrite thin-film. With the improvement of L and Q, the size of ferrite thin-film inductors can be reduced significantly.

This paper describes Nescume -a Web enabled package for managing student (lab) assignments. The package has been designed targeting a number of requirements met in teaching software-based courses. The paper discusses objectives for Nescume development, presents its capabilities such as source code comparison for cheating detection, testing of developed program and source code archiving, and shows its architecture. Furthermore, the paper explains how the system can be used to improve both the course as well as students quality. Integration with the course management software is also considered, as illustrated by the WODLS package.

This paper presents an innovative tool for automatic partitioning of VHDL designs for dynamic reconfiguration called VPart. An introduction to the dynamic implementation of a circuit is presented. A design flow and optimization algorithms and methods used by the tool to partition the input design are explained. The usage of the tool is shown on three simple experiments performed on 18-bit floating-point arithmetic adder and multiplier.

Porous silicon based piezoresistive pressure sensor has been designed, fabricated and tested in the range of 0 to 1 bar and temperature range of 20/spl deg/C to 80/spl deg/C. A suitable signal conditioning analog circuit consisting of constant current generator and an offset adjustable low noise instrumentation amplifier has been designed and tested. The analog output is then digitized through an ADC and fed to FPGA. Architecture for compensation of nonlinear temperature dependence of pressure sensor has been implemented and tested in FPGA. A device model of porous silicon pressure sensor has also been developed with a view to realize a SMART pressure sensor.

We present 2D (space/time) compression techniques that reduce test data volume and test application time for scan testing of intellectual property (IP) cores. We start with a set of test cubes and use the well-known concept of scan chain compatibility to determine a small number c of tester channels that are needed to drive m scan chains (c /spl Lt/ m). Next, we exploit logic dependencies between the test data for the scan chains to design a single-level decompression circuit based on two-input gates. We refer to these procedures collectively as width (space) compression. We then determine a small set of test patterns that can provide complete fault coverage when they are applied to the circuit under test using the c tester channels; this procedure is referred to as height (time) compression. In this way, structural information about the IP cores is not necessary for fault simulation, dynamic compaction, or test generation. The hardware overhead of the proposed approach is limited to the fan-out structure and a very small number of gates between the tester-driven external scan pins and the internal scan chains. Results are presented for the ISCAS-89 benchmarks and for four industrial circuits.

In this work, a novel HfTaON/SiO 2 gate dielectric with metal gate has been investigated for low standby power CMOS application. This gate stack exhibits excellent electrical performances, including low leakage current relative to Hf-silicates, good thermal stability, very low interface state density, superior electron and hole mobilities (100% and 96% of universal curves at 0.8 MV/cm), and excellent BTI characteristic. Therefore, the HfTaON/SiO 2 has a potential to replace current SiO 2 and SiON as the gate dielectric for advanced low standby power application
