Three-dimensional (3D) integration of microand nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) with integrated circuits (ICs) is an emerging technology that offers great advantages over conventional state-of-the-art microelectronics. MEMS and NEMS are most commonly employed as sensor and actuator components that enable a vast array of functionalities typically not attainable by conventional ICs. 3D ...

Silicon (Si) based complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been the driving force of the information-technology revolution. However, scaling of CMOS technology as per Moore's law has reached a serious bottleneck. Among the emerging technologies memristive devices can be promising for both memory as well as computing applications. Hybrid CMOS/memristor circuits with CMOL (C...

This paper presents a methodology for automatic generation of massive parallel simulation systems to estimate the power consumption of sequential CMOS circuits. Based on a high level description of Finite State Machines C++ simulator code is being generated to estimate the power consumption of a CMOS based implementation. From a symbolic FSM description, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to esti...

CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. It is basically a class of integrated circuits, and is used in a range of applications with digital logic circuits, such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, etc. It is also used in applications with analogue circuits, such as in data converters, image sensors, etc. There are quite a few advantages that the CMOS technology ha...
