Dynamic electrical characterization of CMOS-like Thin Film Transistor circuits

چکیده
This tutorial is intended to graduate students, specialized in microelectronics formation. Before this work, the concerned students have spent one week in the cleanroom. In this training, with the help of teachers of the common microelectronics center, they processed and characterized a specific thin film transistor technology. The main goal was to set-up a bench that allows measuring dynamic parameters such as rise time, fall time and oscillator frequency directly on glass substrate and to analyze and explain the results on the base of classical modeling available for VLSI CMOS circuits.

In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...
