Feasibility Study of Analogue and Digital Temperature Sensors in Nanoscale CMOS Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The downscaling of CMOS technology gives rise to a myriad of nanoscale effects. At the same time, power density and thus heat generation increases. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of both analogue and digital temperature sensors in nanoscale CMOS using the Berkeley Predictive Technology Model (BPTM) for 65nm. For the oscillator-based digital sensor presented, a sensitivity of 1.86MHz/°C is achieved. The analogue sensor achieves a sensitivity of 1.7mV/°C.

متن کاملDesign Challenges of Analog-to-Digital Converters in Nanoscale CMOS
This paper discusses issues in the design of analog-todigital converters (ADCs) in nanoscale CMOS and introduces some experimental designs incorporating techniques to solve these issues. Technology scaling increases the maximum conversion rate, but it decreases the gain and the SNR. To maintain a high SNR level despite the lowvoltage operation, the power consumption needs to be increased. Becau...
متن کاملEffect of the Interparticle Interactions on Adsorption-Induced Frequency Shift of Nano-beam-Based Nanoscale Mass-Sensors: A Theoretical Study
It is well-known that the Interparticle interactions between adsorbates and surface of an adsorbent can affect the surface morphology. One of the consequences of this issue is that the resonant frequency of a nanoscale resonator can be changed due to adsorption. In this study we have chosen a cantilever-based nanoscale mass-sensor with a single nanoparticle at its tip. Using the classical...
