Reduction of minimum operating voltage (VDDmin) of CMOS logic circuits with post-fabrication automatically selective charge injection

In order to reduce minimum operating voltage (VDDmin) of CMOS logic circuits, a new method reducing the within-die random threshold (VTH) variation of transistors by a post-fabrication automatically selective charge injection using substrate hot electrons (SHE) is proposed along with novel circuitry to utilize this. In the new circuit, switches are added to combinational logic circuits in order...

Low-voltage high-performance silicon photonic devices and photonic integrated circuits operating up to 30 Gb/s.

We present high performance silicon photonic circuits (PICs) defined for off-chip or on-chip photonic interconnects, where PN depletion Mach-Zehnder modulators and evanescent-coupled waveguide Ge-on-Si photodetectors were monolithically integrated on an SOI wafer with CMOS-compatible process. The fabricated silicon PIC(off-chip) for off-chip optical interconnects showed operation up to 30 Gb/s....
