We present an analytical model that allows to calculate the current response of a spatially modulated light CMOS detector (SML-detector) and compare this response with the response of a traditional CMOS photodetector. It is shown that the SML detector already yields a three orders of magnitude faster response time than a traditional CMOS detector in a 0.25 m CMOS technology. This response time ...

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...

Conventional lithography-based VLSI design technology deployed to optimize low-powered-computing and higher scale integration of semiconductor components. However, this downscaling trend confronts serious challenges of tunneling and leakage current increment to the Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology on nanoscale regimes. To resolve the physical restriction of the CMOS, Qu...

Fuji Electric has developed processes to fabricate ICs. The process satisfies demands for a display driver IC of up to about 100V for a liquid crystal display (LCD), plasma display panel (PDP) and vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). The power control IC has up to about 40V of high voltage and high current analog signal control. The ICs are fabricated using the CMOS (complementary MOS) oxide isola...

In modern CMOS technologies reliability issues limit the maximum operating voltage of transistors. This prevents the integration of efficient power amplifiers (e.g., audio or RF) since stacked devices are needed to prevent breakdown, which reduces efficiency. Transistor reliability is strongly related to operating voltages; higher voltages result in faster degradation and hence in lower reliabi...

This paper presents a new self-resetting CMOS design for an Add-Compare-Select (ACS) unit, which is a key building block in a Viterbi decoder. Static CMOS and two-phase domino CMOS designs have also been implemented for comparison purposes. The simulation results show that, with the SRCMOS technique, the ACS units operate at a data rate of 568 Mbps in a 0.25 micron CMOS technology, as compared ...
