Experimental investigation of stochastic resonance in a 65 nm CMOS artificial neuron

Sara Hedayat, Ilias Sourikopoulos, Christophe Loyez, Francois Danneville, Laurent Clavier, Virginie Hoel, A. Cappy

This work proposes an experimental demonstration of the stochastic resonance, a phenomenon widely observed in biology using a 65 nm CMOS artificial neuron. The stochastic resonance has been revealed through two different statistical studies. Moreover, when optimal, a signal to noise ratio at the…

A 130 to 170 GHz integrated noise source based on avalanche silicon Schottky diode in BiCMOS 55 nm for in-situ noise characterization

Joao Carlos Azevedo Goncalves, Thomas Quemerais, Daniel Gloria, Gregory Avenier, Sylvie Lepilliet, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, Francois Danneville

In this paper, an integrated noise source realized with silicon Schottky diodes is presented. To this aim, dedicated test structures have been designed and characterized; the corresponding Schottky diodes feature an avalanche breakdown voltage close to -6 V. When biased around this breakdown…

Finite element modeling of a piezoelectric slender bar transducer equipped with a multilayer backing for medical imaging applications

Nadia El Atlas, Abdelmajid Bybi, Hilal Drissi, Anne-Christine Hladky

The goal of this work is to investigate the impact of front and back matching layers properties on a piezoelectric slender bar transducer performances and to propose a novel multilayer backing absorber. Quarter-wavelength acoustic matching layers and backing are known as essential components to…

Low Source/Drain Contact Resistance for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with High Al Concentration and Si-HP [111] Substrate

Steven Duffy, Brahim Benbakhti, Maghnia Mattalah, Wei Zhang, Meriem Bouchilaoun, Mohammed Boucherta, Karol Kalna, Nour Eddine Bourzgui, Maher, Hassan, Ali Soltani

An optimized fabrication process of ohmic contacts is proposed to reduce the source/drain access resistance (RC) and enhance DC/RF performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with a high Al concentration. We show that source/drain RC can be considerably lowered by (i) optimally etching into the barrier layer…

Thermal conductivity of glassy GeTe4 by first-principles molecular dynamics

Assil Bouzid, Hayat Zaoui, Pier Luca Palla, Guido Ori, Mauro Boero, Carlo Massobrio, Fabrizio Cleri, Évelyne Martin

A transient thermal regime is achieved in glassy GeTe4 by first-principles molecular dynamics following the recently proposed “approach-to-equilibrium” methodology. The temporal and spatial evolution of the temperature do comply with the time-dependent solution of the heat equation. We demonstrate…

Negative Differential Resistance, Memory and Reconfigurable Logic Functions Based on Monolayer Devices Derived From Gold Nanoparticles Functionalized With Electropolymerizable Thiophene-EDOT Units

Tiantian Zhang, David Guérin, F. Alibart, Dominique Vuillaume, Kamal Lmimouni, Stéphane Lenfant, Ali Yassin, Maiténa Oçafrain, Philippe Blanchard, Jean Roncali

We report on hybrid memristive devices made of a network of gold nanoparticles (10 nm diameter) functionalized by tailored 3,4-(ethylenedioxy)thiophene (TEDOT) molecules, deposited between two planar electrodes with nanometer and micrometer gaps (100 nm to 10 μm apart), and electropolymerized in…

Design, fabrication and characterization of a new wideband antenna based on a Polyaniline/Carbon coated Cobalt composite

Z. Hamouda, J.-L. Wojkiewicz, A.A. Pud, Lamine Kone, S. Bergheul, T. Lasri

The new generation of polymer materials has the facility to conduct electricity, radiate and concurrently be flexible. Accordingly, the possibility of implementation of a flexible antenna opens the door to many interesting applications including body-worn ones. This paper presents the design of a…
