The hot carrier (HC) induced degradation has become a major concern in advanced CMOS technologies because of non-scalable VDD. In this work, we have shown that the HC induced degradation in gate-first HKMG nMOS transistors ...

In this article, the combined effect of BOX thickness (TBOX) and ground-plane (GP) doping (NGP) on channel carrier mobility and analog figures of merit (FoMs) is investigated. It is reported that the thin BOX along with ...

Single constant multiplication (SCM) and multiple constant multiplications (MCM) are among the most popular schemes used for low-complexity shift-add implementation of finite impulse response (FIR) filters. While SCM is ...

Image processing and other multimedia applications require large embedded storage. In some of the earlier works approximate memory has been shown as a potential energy-efficient solution for such error-tolerant applications. ...

Few would deny that machines (along with intelligent machines) are a cultural creation of great significance. The Human race has shown extraordinary skills in achieving this glory. But this is not the glory of an unblemished ...

Process industries continue to suffer from accidents despite significant regulatory intervention since the mid-1980s. Human error is widely considered to be the major cause for most accidents today. Detailed analysis of ...

As technology nodes continue to shrink, optical proximity correction (OPC) has become an integral part of mask design to improve the subwavelength printability. The success of lithography simulation to perform OPC on an ...

We demonstrate a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor-based highly accurate instrumented glove that can measure finger flexure with an angular resolution of 0.1�. The sensing unit consists of an FBG that is very sensitive to ...

This paper demonstrates a technique of high-resolution interrogation of two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with flat-topped reflection spectra centered on 1649.55 nm and 1530.182 nm with narrow line width tunable semiconductor ...
