A noise-shaped synchronous buck converter using a 3rd-order continuous-time (CT) active-passive sigma-delta modulator (SDM) is presented. Detailed system modeling and loop design methodology for the SDM based DC-DC are discussed. The proposed circuit has been designed with Chartered 0.35 μm CMOS process. The system operates with a clock of 8 MHz. Compared with the traditional PWM mode converter, simulation results show that the proposed converter suppresses the switching tones by more than 25 dB over a wide frequency range with a peak efficiency of 96%.

A high performance plasmonic thermal emitter with narrow bandwidth emission property were proposed and fabricated. This emitter is based on a metal coated two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal of air holes in a silicon substrate. The PC structure is found to be highly effective in suppressing the thermal emission, which can yield 2 orders of magnitude more efficient that conventional IR sources. Thermally isolated, uniformly heated emitters, with photonic crystal structure modified surfaces are exploited for narrowband spectral tuning in the infrared wavelength regime. The results show that narrow band spectral tuning is accomplished through control of the lattice constant of the PC patterns.

F-doped SiOCN films with low dielectric constant have been prepared using SiH_4, C2F6 and N2O as reactants by PECVD, and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), capacitance -voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements, and nanoindenter. With an increment of the flow rate of C2F6, the concentrations of fluorine and carbon incorporated in the films increase, and the concentration of nitrogen decreases. This leads to a decrease in the dielectric constant of the film. When the flow rate of C2F6 is 750 sccm, the percentages of C and F elements amount to 5.2% and 9.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, the resulting dielectric constant is reduced to 2.6, and the leakage current density is lower than 3×10-8 A/cm2 at lMV/cm. The hardness and Young's modulus of the films are higher than 3 GPa and 84 GPa, respectively. It is thus believed that the introduction of carbon and fluorine can lower the dielectric constant of the films, and the presence of N can improve the mechanical properties of film.

The effect of kerf depth is investigated on the performances of array transducers. A finite element tool, COMSOL, is employed to simulate the properties of acoustic field and to calculate the electrical properties of the arrays, including crosstalk effect and electrical impedance. Furthermore, Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) deep etching process is used to etch 36°/Y-cut lithium niobate (LiNbO_3) crystals and the limitation of etching aspect ratio is studied. Several arrays with different profiles are realized under optimized processes. At last, arrays with different pitches are fabricated and characterized by a network analyzer.
