Abstract For the progress of artificial neural networks, imitation multiple biological functions is indispensable for processing more tasks in a complex working environment. Memristors, which possess these advantages such as uniformity, high switching speed, and smaller device scale, are better candidates compared to conventional complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology network...

Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements are performed on sputtered GexSe1?x thin films to identify link bond presence behaviour.

With the rise in demand of portable hand held devices and with the rise in application of wireless sensor networks and RFID reduction of total power consumption has become a necessity. To save power we operate the logic circuitry of our devices at sub-threshold. In sub-threshold the drain current is exponentially dependent on the threshold voltage hence the threshold variation causes profound v...

Thin film transistors (TFTs) using In-Ga-Zn Oxide (IGZO) as active layer and the gate insulator was treated with NH3 plasma and N2O plasma, respectively, which is fabricated on flexible PI substrate in this work. The performance of IGZO TFTs with different plasma species and treatment time are investigated and compared. The experiment results show that the plasma species and treatment time play...

Level shifters play critical roles in ultra low-voltage circuits and systems. a new low power level shifter (LS) is presented for robust logic voltage shifting from near/sub threshold to above threshold domain. The new circuit combines the multi threshold CMOS technique along with novel topological modifications to guarantee a wide voltage conversion range with limited static power and total en...

Leakage power is the main dominant source of power dissipation for Sub-lOOlJm VLSI circuits. Various techniques were proposed to reduce the leakage power dissipation; one of these techniques is Multi-Threshold voltage. In this paper, the exact and optimal values of Threshold Voltage (Vth) for each transistor of the design are found for any sequential circuit. This is achieved by applying Artifi...

Sub-threshold operation has proven beneficial for energy-constrained systems, as it enables minimum energy consumption in logic circuits during active computation [1], and reduces leakage current in components that must be constantly powered. Previous sub-Vt research, for example a 0.13gm processor with an 8b ALU and 2Kb SRAM [2], has demonstrated substantial energy savincgs. However, process s...
