Minimum Line Width of Surface Plasmon Resonance in Doped ZnO Nanocrystals

Christophe Delerue

The optical response of ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) doped with Al (Ga) impurities is calculated using a model that incorporates the effects of quantum confinement, dielectric mismatch, surface, and ionized impurity scattering. For dopant concentrations of a few percent, the NC polarizability is…

A 140 GHz to 160 GHz active impedance tuner for in-situ noise characterization in BiCMOS 55 nm

Simon Bouvot, Joao Carlos Azevedo Goncalves, Alice Bossuet, Thomas Quemerais, Sylvie Lepilliet, Guillaume Ducournau, Francois Danneville, Daniel Gloria

A millimeter-wave active impedance tuner is implemented on the STMicroelectronics BiCMOS 55 nm technology for in-situ noise characterization. The presented circuit is composed of a two stage low noise amplifier with a gain of 11 dB and a NF of 7.5 dB at 150 GHz loading a 64 states passive impedance…

Advantages of ALD over evaporation deposition for high-K materials integration in high power capacitive RF MEMS

Guillaume Croizier, Paolo Martins, M. Le Bailiff, Raphaël Aubry, S. Bansropun, M. Fryziel, Nathalie Rolland, Afshin Ziaei

We report a study over a wide range of high-K dielectric materials (AlxOy, HfOx, TiOx.) deposited by different techniques (Evaporation, ALD, PEALD ... ) for high power RF applications. Main results show that ALD technique is matching the McPherson trend based on thermochemical prediction.…

Nanomaterials for transdermal drug delivery: beyond the state of the art of liposomal structures

Roxana Jijie, Alexandre Barras, Rabah Boukherroub, Sabine Szunerits

A wide range of biomedical materials have been proposed to meet the different needs for controlled oral or intravenous drug delivery. The advantages of oral delivery such as self-administration of a predetermined drug dose at defined time intervals makes it the most convenient means for the…

Non-destructive Evaluation of Containment Walls in Nuclear Power Plants

V. Garnier, C. Payan, M. Lott, Narintsoa Ranaivomanana, Jean-Paul Balayssac, Jérôme Verdier, E. Larose, Y. Zhang, J. Saliba, A. Boniface, Z. M. Sbartai, Bogdan Piwakowski, Charles Ciccarone, H. Hafid, J. M. Henault, F. Ouvrier Buffet

Two functions are regularly tested on containment walls in order to anticipate a possible accident. The first is mechanical to resist a possible internal over-pressure and the second is to prevent leakage. The AAPR reference accident is the rupture of a pipe in the primary circuit of a nuclear…

Dielectric properties characterization of saline solutions by near-field microwave microscopy

S. Gu, Tianjun Lin, T. Lasri

Saline solutions are of a great interest when characterizations of biological fluids are targeted. In this work a near-field microwave microscope is proposed for the characterization of liquids. An interferometric technique is suggested to enhance measurement sensitivity and accuracy. The…

An ultra-low power iterative clique-based neural network integrated in 65-nm CMOS

Paul Chollet, Benoit Larras, Cyril Lahuec, Fabrice Seguin, Matthieu Arzel

Clique-based neural networks are less complex than commonly used neural network models. They have a limited connectivity and are composed of simple functions. They are thus adapted to implement neuro-inspired computation units operating under severe energy constraints. This paper shows an ST 65-nm…
