The future of integrated circuits will include the integration of high performance III-V electronic and/or opto-electronic devices with standard Si CMOS to create to a new class of highly integrated, high performance, ‘intelligent’, mixed signal and RF circuits. While traditional hybrid approaches, such as wire bonded or flip chip multi-chip assemblies may provide short term solutions, the vari...

We have investigated a chaotic circuit utilizing CMOS ring oscillators[1]. The circuit consists of two CMOS ring oscillators and two diodes. A CMOS ring oscillator is used for CMOS process performance test. This oscillator consists of a series of inverter circuits. It has a very simple structure. Therefore, we consider that the proposed circuit is realized very easily. In the past studies, we h...

Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) operation is very desirable for logic circuit applications as it offers rail-to-rail swing, larger noise margin, and small static power consumption. However, it remains to be a challenging task for nanotube-based devices. Here in this paper, we report our progress on metal contact engineering for n-type nanotube transistors and CMOS integrated circ...

This paper presents a brief introduction of some prominent current mode circuits which have been finding its attention in the area of analog signal processing. High performance current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA) has been realized using CMOS, provides a wider bandwidth, low power consumption and requires less space in integrated circuits implementation. Pspice simulation resu...

This work reports on a heterogeneous integration of resistive memories into the Back-End-of-the-Line of 180 nm standard CMOS foundry chips. A TaOx-based ReRAM technology with materials and processes fully CMOS compatible has been developed and characterized. A low-cost integration method is applied to the developed TaOx-based memories to achieve chip level ReRAM–CMOS integration. The integrated...

A monolithically integrated micro-fluidic biosensor system-on-chip (μBio-SSoC) is first realized in standard CMOS processes. This μBio-SSoC is composed of a CMOS-based microfluidic pump, a polysilicon nanowire (SiNW) biosensor, and driving circuits. With 1.5V driving voltage, the microfluidic pump drives sample-liquids to biosensing area with 34 μm/s flowing velocity. After pumping, the detecti...
