A flexible technology is proposed to integrate smart electronics and microfluidics all embedded in an elastomer package. The microfluidic channels are used to deliver both liquid samples and liquid metals to the integrated circuits (ICs). The liquidmetals are used to realize electrical interconnects to the IC chip. This avoids the traditional IC packaging challenges, such as wire-bonding and fl...

This paper describes the experience in teaching integrated circuit design using an educational tool called Microwind through a Project-Based Learning approach. The evolution of the tool in the context of technology scale down is described, with focus on nanoscale technologies. An evaluation of the courses taught in two institutions (INSA France, and UniSA Australia) shows high levels of student...

SOI technology for state of the art CMOS technology is rapidly approaching maturity. PD-SOI device design has the advantage of easier manufacturing but requires more sophisticated device and circuit design to reduce the effects of the floating-body. FD-SOI device design potentially has the advantage of no floating-body effects but requires very thin silicon films making manufacturing more chall...

We demonstrate the design of an integrated conditional quantum teleportation circuit and a readout circuit using a two-dimensional photonic crystal single chip. Fabrication and testing of the proposed quantum circuit can be accomplished with current or near future semiconductor process technology and experimental techniques. The readout part of our device, which has potential for independent us...

Integrated Circuit (IC) Technology is growing day by day to enhance the circuit performance and to increase the density for compact systems. Conventional CMOS technology is playing a vital role in digital computation for past four decades. But there are certain challenges in scaling the CMOS devices for the last few years. A novel technology “Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA)” has been identi...

The linearity of the CMOS is of major concern in the design of many analog circuits. In this paper the nonlinearity behavior of CMOS analog integrated circuits is investigated.The basic building block of analog integrated circuits such as differential amplifier with current mirror load have been chosen for harmonic distortion analysis.A mechanism to analyze the distortion of CMOS circuits in de...

Tactile sensors are basically arrays of force sensors that are intended to emulate the skin in applications such as assistive robotics. Local electronics are usually implemented to reduce errors and interference caused by long wires. Realizations based on standard microcontrollers, Programmable Systems on Chip (PSoCs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been proposed by the authors ...
