This paper presents a novel temperature invariant, low power, and area efficient bidirectional current source. The current source can be used as an analog front end R–V converter for different types of resistive sensor ...

This paper reveals an early quasi-saturation (QS) effect attributed to the geometrical parameters in shallow trench isolation-type drain-extended MOS (STI-DeMOS) transistors in advanced CMOS technologies. The quasi-saturation ...

In this paper we present a multidisciplinary modeling of a MEMS-based electrodynamic microsensor, when an additional vertical offset is defined, aiming acoustic applications field. The principle is based on the use of two ...

Based upon two-tone measurements, 5dB improvement in the linearity behavior of drain extended MOS (DeMOS) device is reported by novel drain engineering. The presented modification significantly improves the device saturation ...

Flexible piezoelectric composites offer alternative and/or additional solutions to sensor, actuator and transducer applications. Here in this work, we have successfully fabricated highly flexible piezoelectric composites ...

Preconcentrator integration with sensors for enhanced detection of target analytes, such as volatiles, explosives, and toxic compounds, has been gaining attention. Although metal oxides (MOX) have been widely used as gas ...

The charge transport properties of 2,2′,6,6′-tetraphenyldipyranylidene (DIPO-Ph4), a large planar quinoïd π-conjugated heterocycle, are investigated in field-effect transistor (FET) configuration and by conductive atomic ...

Self-heating and thermal modeling in fin-shaped FETs (FinFETs) are studied in this brief using calibrated 3-D TCAD simulations. Using the second order R th C th network extraction, we demonstrate for the first time a simple ...

Distinguishing a specific biomarker from a biofluid sample containing a large variety of proteins often requires the selective preconcentration of that particular biomarker to a detectable level for analysis. Low-cost, ...

In this letter, we show that using the experimentally demonstrated nano-electro-mechanical-switches (NEMS) and our design methodology, the standby power dissipation can be reduced to negligible levels in 14-nm bulk FinFET ...
