In this report, a parameter extraction procedure and a model presented in [4] are tested using a 280×0.25μm transistor manufactured in a 0.25 μmCMOS process. The extraction procedure is based on two sets of S-parameter measurements. The first transistor measurement is in the linear region, to obtain the extrinsic terminal resistances which are biasindependent . The intrinsic parameters of the t...

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of an 80m-thick, 1.1 mm in diameter high aspect-ratio (20:1) polysilicon ring gyroscope (PRG). The vibrating ring gyroscope was fabricated through the high aspect-ratio combined poly and single-crystal silicon MEMS technology (HARPSS). This all-silicon single-wafer technology is capable of producing electrically isolated vertical electrod...

Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) has been an emerging technology for fast packet forwarding, commonly used in longest prefix match routing. Large table size requirements and wider lookup table data widths have led to higher capacity TCAM designs. However, the fully parallel characteristic of TCAM makes large TCAM design more challenging and limits its capacity due to intensive power co...

Organic thin-film transistors for high frequency applications require large transconductances in combination with minimal parasitic capacitances. Techniques aiming at eliminating parasitic capacitances are prone to produce a mismatch between electrodes, in particular gaps between the gate and the interlayer electrodes. While such mismatches are typically undesirable, we demonstrate that, in fac...

In this paper, we present two methods for the inverse problem of reconstructing a parameter profile of a nonuniform and dispersive transmission line — one frequency domain and one time domain method. Both methods are based on the wave splitting technique, but apart from that the methods are mathematically very different. The time domain analysis leads to hyperbolic partial differential equation...

We have developed a new label-free detection method where specific biomolecules adsorb to the walls of a suspended microchannel resonator, or simply flow through and thereby lower its resonant frequency. The oscillation of the microchannel is measured optically by reflecting a laser beam off the channel surface and detecting its position with a photo-sensitive detector. While the optical readou...

The analytical modeling of parasitic capacitances in inductors is commonly based on the energy-conservation law. Yet, order to calculate equivalent inductors, floating voltage potential magnetic core required be preknown all previous methods. This letter proposes an method for calculating with low-resistivity cores, which does not require any prior knowledge potential. proposed can extended tra...
