In this paper, we study the circuit performance issues of high-K gate dielectric MOSFETs using the Look-up Table (LUT) approach. The LUT approach is implemented in a public-domain circuit simulator SEQUEL. We observed an excellent match between LUT simulator and mixed mode simulations using MEDICI. This work clearly demonstrates the predictive power of the new simulator, as it enables evaluatio...

The utilization of remotely sensed data from aircraft and satellites have evolved over the years. Broadly, the steps involve image analysis. mapping. co-registration with other spatial and aspatial data sources and information extraction for decision support systems. InitialIy, each of these steps were independent activities. involving manual manipulation of analog data. However, with the adven...

The concepts of symbolic dynamics and data set partitioning have been used for feature extraction and anomaly detection in time series data. Although modeling of state machines from symbol sequences has been widely reported, similar efforts have not been expended to investigate partitioning of time series data to optimally generate symbol sequences for anomaly detection. This paper addresses th...

The non-linearity demonstrated by a circuit is a function of the device nonlinearity, its parasitic components and the circuit components in which it is embedded. We demonstrate that the common source stage, which is used extensively for Device Characterisation, presents a very complex form of Device-Circuit Interaction, which makes reliable extraction of its intrinsic non-linear parameters ext...

cell problem Ω̇ = ǫBΩ + ǫF (t) with an effective matrix B and an explicitly-known F (t). We provide necessary and sufficient condition for the accuracy of the approximation (over a O(ǫ) time-scale), and show how B can be computed (at a cost independent of ǫ). As a direct application, we investigate the possibility of using RLC circuits to harvest the energy contained in small scale oscillations ...

A novel method for direct extraction of deep-submicron MOSFET effective channel length is proposed, which requires only a single measurement of the “critical-current at linear-threshold” (“Icrit @ Vt0”) based on the maximum-gm definition. With a simple calibration of the channel sheet resistance from the long-channel Icrit data, the effective channel length of any short-channel device on the sa...

A method is presented for the parameter extraction of microwave coupled resonator filters. The method is based on the estimation of a rational model of the filters. From these rational functions, a circuit network having the previously know topology is optimized. Two simple and efficient error functions are used to reduce the computational effort of the optimization while improving the speed an...
