An implantable passive radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor tag system-on-chip (SoC) for glucose monitoring is developed in this paper. A high frequency RFID tag, a bio-sensor interface, as well as the electrodes are included in this chip. The signal of blood sugar level from the bio-sensor is detected and converted into digital data, and then the data is encrypted and transmitted to an RFID reader on top of the skin. To measure the weak current signals, a current readout circuit, a current splitter, an ADC and a potentiostat are designed in the chip. Correlated double sample (CDS) technology is used in the readout circuit to reduce the 1/f noise and the op-amp's offset. The chip is taped out in SMIC 0.13 μm CMOS process. Simulation results show that the system can measure weak current signals in the range of 10 fA-100 pA.

A correlation-first bisection method is proposed for analyzing the robust stability distribution of linear analog circuits in the multi-parameter space. This new method first transfers the complex multi-parameter robust stability problem into nonlinear inequalities by the Routh criterion, and then solves them by interval arithmetic and new bisection strategy. The axis with strong relationship to the functions dominating the stability is bisected. Furthermore, the Monte Carlo method is adopted for the uncertain subdomains to increase the convergence speed of bisection methods as the cube number increases. The proposed method has no error in both stable and unstable areas, and high efficiency to determine the complex boundaries between the stable and unstable areas. Numerical results validate this new method.

A novel sandwich structure of photonic crystal with periodic square array of hexagon holes was fabricated. The infrared optical properties in reflectance of the devices were tested. A sharp peak of surface plasmon resonance was observed at the incident angles of 30°. By the comparison of the results between non-sandwich structure and sandwich structure, the latter has higher sensitivity. This relative sensitivity of the optical biosensor has been enhanced by almost 300%.

High-frequency ultrasonic transducer arrays are essential for efficient imaging in clinical analysis and nondestructive evaluation (NDE). However, the fabrication of piezoelectric transducers is really a great challenge due to the small features in piezoelectric films. This paper describes a novel technique to fabricate thick-film ZnO ultrasonic array transducers. Piezoelectric elements are formed by sputtering thick-film ZnO onto etched features of a silicon substrate so that the difficult etching process for ZnO films is avoided by etching silicon. This process is simple and efficient. A 13-μm-pitch ZnO sandwich array is achieved with a thickness of 8 μm for 300 MHz. Finite element method is employed to calculate its electrical properties, including electrical impedance and crosstalk. The array is characterized by a network analyzer. The measured results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

We report a simulation study of carrier transport in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) based on non-local transport model. In this model, drift-diffusion equations are solved with modification of' current density by accounting for long-range carrier transport including quantum tunneling and hot carrier transport in the device. From the simulation results of an AlInGaAs/InP QCL at different temperatures, it is found that our model shows reasonable agreement with experiments at lower temperature when carriers are well confined while substantial deviation is observed at higher temperatures when the leakage of carriers into the continuum is significant.

Optical frequency shift keying (FSK) homodyne detection utilizing image rejection in FSK/amplitude shift keying (ASK) re-modulation wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) is proposed and demonstrated. Image rejection is adopted to achieve better performance. We show the result in back-to-back and 40-km distance respectively and apparent improvement is obtained in the latter situation by using image rejection. Several factors which affect the image rejection receiver are analyzed in order to find out the optimum parameters. Result shows that the presented scheme is suitable for super long reach access network, especially for future metro access network.

In this paper, we present a novel method to build reconfigurable architectures. Because an RTL description of a circuit can be converted to a data flow graph (DFG), our method is based on graph mining which aims to extract the common subgraphs among different benchmarks. A tool flow is proposed to convert benchmarks to data flow graphs and extract the common subgraphs. Benchmarks in the field of Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) are selected in the experiment to demonstrate that our method is correct and practical.
