CDM ESD event has become the main ESD reliability concern for integrated-circuits products using nanoscale CMOS technology. A novel CDM ESD protection design, using self-biased current trigger (SBCT) and source pumping, has been proposed and successfully verified in 0.13-lm CMOS technology to achieve 1-kV CDM ESD robustness. 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Conventional CMOS technology's performance deteriorates due to increased short channel effects. Double-gate (DG) FinFETs has better short channel effects performance compared to the conventional CMOS and stimulates technology scaling. The main drawback of using CMOS transistors are high power consumption and high leakage current. Fin-type field-effect transistors (FinFETs) are promising substit...

This paper describes the implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm, Rijndael, in a new nanoscale technology, called CMOL. This technology consists of an array of conventional CMOS gates and a wiring network, which consists of a high density mesh of nanowires. The basic Modules of Rijndael were implemented using CMOL architecture. It is observed that the implementation in such...

This paper deals with the design and performance analysis of a ring oscillator using CMOS 45nm technology process in Cadence virtuoso environment. The design of optimal Analog and Mixed Signal (AMS) very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI) is a challenging task for the integrated circuit(IC) designer. A Ring Oscillator is an active device which is made up of odd number of NOT gates and whose...

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS offers a 20–35% performance gain over bulk CMOS. High-performance microprocessors using SOI CMOS have been commercially available since 1998. As the technology moves to the 0.13m generation, SOI is being used by more companies, and its application is spreading to lower-end microprocessors and SRAMs. In this paper, after giving a short history of SOI in IBM, we de...
