In this paper, a 60 GHz bidirectional active phase shifter with 130 nm CMOS is presented by replacing CMOS passive switchs in switched-line type phase shifter with Common Gate Amplifier(bidirectional amplifier). Bidirectional active phase shifter is composed of bidirectional amplifier blocks and passive delay line network blocks. The suitable topology of bidirectional amplifier block is CGA(Common Gate Amplifier) topology and matching circuits of input and output are symmetrical due to design same characteristic of it's forward and reverse way. The direction(forward and reverse way) and amplitude of amplification can be controlled by only one bias voltage($V_{DS}$) using combination bias circuit. And passive delay line network blocks are composed of microstrip line. An 1-bit phase shifter is fabricated by Dongbu HiTek 1P8M 130-nm CMOS technology and simulation results present -3 dB average insertion loss and respectively 90 degree and 180 degree phase shift at 60 GHz.

차세대 CMOS 공정에서 유전상수가 높은 게이트 절연막과 함께 게이트 전극이 관심을 끌고 있다. 게이트 전극은 전도도가 높아야 하고 p-MOS, n-MOS에 맞는 일함수를 가져야 하며 열적 특성이 안정해야 한다. 탄탈룸 계열 탄화물이나 질화물은 게이트 전극으로 관심을 끌고 있는 물질이며 이를 원자층 화학증착법으로 박막화 하는 공정이 관심을 끌고 있다. 원자층 화학공정에서는 전구체의 역할이 중요하며 이의 기상반응 메카니즘, 표면 반응 메카니즘을 제대로 이해해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 TBTDET (tert-butylimido tris-diethylamido tantalum) 전구체의 반응 메커니즘을 FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared)을 이용해 진단하였다. 또한 수소, 암모니아, 메탄을 이용한 열화학 원자층 증착, 플라즈마 원자층 증착 공정을 수행하여 박막을 얻고 이들의 특성을 평가하였다. 각 공정에 따라 반응 메커니즘이 달라지고 박막의 조성이 달라지며 또한 박막의 물성도 달라진다. 특히 박막에 형성되는 TaC, TaN, Ta3N5, Ta2O5 (증착 후 산소의 유입에 의해 형성됨) 등의 조성이 공정에 따라 달라지며 박막의 물성도 달라진다. 반응메카니즘의 연구를 통해 각 공정에서 어떠한 조성의 박막이 얻어지는 지를 규명하였고 박막의 밀도에 따라 산소유입량이 어떻게 달라지는 지를 규명하였다.

This paper presents a new technique to reduce a large interconnect circuit with tens of thousands of elements into the one that is small enough to be analyzed by circuit simulators such as SPICE. This technique takes a fundamentally different approach form the conventional methods based on the interconnect circuit structure analysis and several rules based on the Elmore time constant. The time moments are computed form the circuit consisting of the interconnect circuit and the CMOS gate driver model computed by the AWE technique. Then, the equivalent RC circuit is synthesized from those moments. The characteristics of the driving CMOS gate can be reflected with the high degree of accuracy and the size of the compressed circuit is determined by the number of output nodes regardless of the size of the original interconnect circuits. This technique has been implemented in C language, applied to several interconnect circuits driven by a 0.5${\mu}m$ CMOS gate and the equivalent RC circuits with more than 99% reduction ratio and accuracy with 1 ~ 10% error in therms of propagation delays were obtained.

This paper proposes a new parity-preserving reversible logic gate. It is a parity-preserving reversible logic gate, that is, the party of the outputs matches that of the inputs. In recent year, reversible logic gate has emerged as one of the important approaches for power optimization with its application in low CMOS design, quantum computing and nono-technology. We show that our proposed parity-preserving reversible logic gate is much better in terms of number of reversible logic gates, number of garbage-outputs and hardware complexity with compared ti the exiting counterpart.

In this paper, we proposed a novel OTP unit bit of CMOS gate oxide antifuse using the standard CMOS process without additional process. The proposed OTP unit bit is composed of 3 transistors including an NMOS gate oxide antifuse and a sense amplifier of inverter type. The layout area of the proposed OTP unit bit is $22{\mu}m^2$ similar to a conventional OTP unit bit. The programming time of the proposed OTP unit bit is 3.6msec that is improved than that of the conventional OTP unit bit because it doesn't use high voltage blocking elements such as high voltage blocking switch transistor and resistor. And the OTP array with the proposed OTP unit bit doesn't need sense amplifier and bias generation circuit that are used in a conventional OTP array because sense amplifier of inverter type is included to the proposed OTP unit bit.

In this paper, the multiple-valued adders and multipliers are implemented by current-mode CMOS. First, we implement the 3-valued T-gate and the 4-valued T-gate using current-mode CMOS which have an effective availability of integrated circuit design. Second we implement the circuits to be realized 2-variable 3-valued addition table and multiplication table over finite fields $GF(3^2)$, and 2-variable 4-valued addition table and multiplication table over finite fields $GF(4^2)$ with the multiple-valued T-gates. Finally, these operation circuits are simulated under $1.5\mutextrm{m}$ CMOS standard technology, $15\mutextrm{A}$ unit current, and 3.3V VDD voltage Spice. The simulation results have shown the satisfying current characteristics. The 3-valued adder and multiplier, and the 4-valued adder and multiplier implemented by current-mode CMOS is simple and regular for wire routing and possesses the property of modularity with cell array. Also, since it is expansible for the addition and multiplication of two polynomials in the finite field with very large m, it is suitable for VLSI implementation.

본 논문은 정적 CMOS 회로의 단락 전류로 인한 전력소모와 게이트의 전달 지연시간을 구하기 위한 간단한 방법을 제시한다. 단락전류식은 게이트와 드레인 사이에 존재하는 커플링 커패시턴스의 영사한 후 모형화한 전류 수식을 기반으로 CMOS 회로의 지연 시간을 예측하기 위한 거시모형과 수식들을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 시뮬레이션을 통하여 현재의 기술 동향 특성인 신호 천이시간과 부하 커패시턴스가 감소하는 경우에 대해 이전의 연구보다 더욱 정확하고 신속히 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 제안된 거시 모형은 전류식이 변할지라도 전력소모와 타이밍 수준에서의 지연시간을 계산하는데 쉽게 적용이 가능하다.
