Fundamental limitations in microelectronics—I. MOS technology

Bipolar and MOS Technology

Integrated circuit resistors can be classified into three groups: 1.) semiconductor films, 2.) deposited metal films, and 3.) cermets (a mixture of metal and dielectric materials). Of these, only the first two have found widespread use in high frequency circuits. Semiconductor films can be fabricated by diffusion into a host semi-insulating substrate, by depositing a polysilcon layer, or by ion...

Fundamental Limitations of Spectral Clustering

Spectral clustering methods are common graph-based approaches to clustering of data. Spectral clustering algorithms typically start from local information encoded in a weighted graph on the data and cluster according to the global eigenvectors of the corresponding (normalized) similarity matrix. One contribution of this paper is to present fundamental limitations of this general local to global...

Fundamental limitations of network reconstruction

Network reconstruction is the first step towards understanding, diagnosing and controlling the dynamics of complex networked systems. It allows us to infer properties of the interaction matrix, which characterizes how nodes in a system directly interact with each other. Despite a decade of extensive studies, network reconstruction remains an outstanding challenge. The fundamental limitations go...
