In Situ Poly Heater—A Reliable Tool for Performing Fast and Defined Temperature Switches on Chip
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the calibration procedure and performance of the poly-heater measurement technique for device characterization and reliability issues. We put a particular emphasis on the accessible temperature range, the heating and cooling dynamics, as well as on the impact of temperature gradient between the heater, device, and thermo chuck. In this context, the poly-heater technique provides a reliable solution for fast and arbitrary temperature switches and offers the possibility to reach device temperatures that are far beyond the operating range of conventional thermo-chuck systems.

Flow-through PCR on a 3D qiandu-shaped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microdevice employing a single heater: toward microscale multiplex PCR.
Consistent temperature control in an on-chip flow-through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) employing two or more heaters is one of the main obstacles for device miniaturization and integration when realizing micro total analysis systems (μTAS), and also leads to operational complexity. In this study, we propose a qiandu (right triangular prism)-shaped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microdevice with...
متن کاملOn-chip wavelength locking for photonic switches.
We present an on-chip wavelength reference with a partial drop ring resonator and germanium photodetector. This approach can be used in ring-resonator-based wavelength-selective switches where absolute wavelength alignment is required. We use the temperature dependence of heater resistance as a temperature sensor. Additionally, we discuss locking speed, statistical variation of heater resistanc...
متن کاملNon-Blocking Routers Design Based on West First Routing Algorithm & MZI Switches for Photonic NoC
For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...
