Dynamics of Integrated Silicon Micro-heaters

چکیده
Micro-cantilevers with integrated heaters serve as powerful tools for investigation and manipulation at the nanometer scale. They can be used to locally heat surfaces. They can also serve as low-cost, highly integrable topography sensors, and find application as position sensors for nanopositioning applications. In this paper we present a tractable feedback model that captures the thermo-electric dynamics of these micro-heaters. A systems approach is preferred over a modeling approach based on the underlying physical mechanisms. Experimental results on the write/read heaters and the thermal position sensors from a probe-based data-storage device are presented.

Post-silicon power mapping techniques for integrated circuits
We propose a new methodology for post-silicon power validation using the captured thermal infrared emissions from the back-side of operational integrated circuits. We first identify the challenges associated with thermal to power inversion, and then we address these challenges by devising a quadratic optimization formulation that incorporates Tikhonov filtering techniques to find the most accur...

متن کاملWavelength tuning and stabilization of microring-based filters using silicon in-resonator photoconductive heaters.
We demonstrate that n-doped resistive heaters in silicon waveguides show photoconductive effects with high responsivities. These photoconductive heaters, integrated into microring resonator (MRR)-based filters, were used to automatically tune and stabilize the filter's resonance wavelength to the input laser's wavelength. This is achieved without requiring dedicated defect implantations, additi...
