This paper proposes a High Performance Full-Swing BiCMOS (HiF-BiCMOS) circuit which improves on the conventional BiCMOS circuit. The HiF-BiCMOS circuit has all the merits of the conventional BiCMOS circuit and can realize full-swing logic operation. Especially, the speed of full-swing logic operation is much faster than that of conventional full-swing BiCMOS circuit. And the number of transistors added in the HiF-BiCMOS for full-swing logic operation is constant regardless of the number of logic gate inputs. The HiF-BiCMOS circui has high stability to variation of environment factors such as temperature. Also, it has a preamorphized Si layer was changed into the perfect crystal Si after the RTA. Remarkable scalability for power supply voltage according to the development of VLSI technology. The power dissipation of HiF-BiCMOS is very small and hardly increases about a large fanout. Though the Spice simulation, the validity of the proposed circuit design is proved.

This paper presents an excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator circuit design, which can synchronize two neuron-bursting patterns. The excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator is composed of CMOS neurons and CMOS excitatory synapses. And the neurons and synapses are connected into a close loop. The CMOS neuron is based on the Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model and excitatory synapse is based on the chemical synapse model. In order to fabricate using a 0.18 um CMOS standard process technology with 1.8V compatible transistors, both time and amplitude scaling of HR neuron model is adopted. This full-chip integration minimizes the power consumption and circuit size, which is ideal for motion control unit of the proposed bio-mimetic micro-robot. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator performs the expected waveforms with scaled time and amplitude. The active silicon area of the fabricated chip is $1.1mm^2$ including I/O pads.

Beginning with a brief introduction on near 100 nm or below CMOS devices, this paper addresses novel devices for future sub-100 nm CMOS. First, key issues such as gate materials, gate dielectric, source/drain, and channel in Si bulk CMOS devices are considered. CMOS devices with different channel doping and structure are introduced by explaining a figure of merit. Finally, novel device structures such as SOI, SiGe, and double-gate devices will be discussed for possible candidates for sub-100 nm CMOS.

As a potential alternative to the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, many researchers are focusing on carbon-nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) for future electronics. However, existing studies report the advantages of CNFETs over CMOS at the device level by using small-scale circuits, or over outdated CMOS technology. In this paper, we propose a methodology of analyzing CNFET-based circuits and study its impact at the full-chip scale. First, we design CNFET standard cells and use them to construct large-scale designs. Second, we perform parasitic extraction of CNFET devices and characterize their timing and power behaviors. Then, we perform a full-chip analysis and show the benefits of CNFET over CMOS in 45-nm and 20-nm designs. Our full-chip study shows that in the 45-nm design, CNFET circuits achieve a 5.91×/3.87× (delay/power) benefit over CMOS circuits at a density of 200 CNTs/µm. In the 20-nm design, CNFET achieves a 6.44×/3.01× (delay/power) benefit over CMOS at a density of 200 CNTs/µm.

In this literature, the CMOS current mode fout quadrant differentiator circuit is proposed. The implementation is base on an appropriate input stage that converts the input current into a compressed voltage at the input capacitor ($C_{gs}$) of the CMOS driver circuit. This input voltage use as the control output current which flow to the output node by passing through a MOS active load and use it as the feedback voltage to the input node. Simulation results with level 49 CMOS model of MOSIS are given to demonstrate the correct operation of the proposed configuration. But the gain of the circuit is too low so the output differentiate current also low. The proposed differentiator is expected to find several applications in analog signal processing system.

Abstract An idea to redce the direct-path short circuit current of the CMOS digital integrated circuit is present. The sample circuit model of the CMOS digital circuit is the CMOS current-control digital output driver circuit, which are also suitable for the low voltage supply integrated circuits as the simple digital inverter, are present in this title. The circuit consists of active MOS load as the current control source, which construct from the saturated n-channel and p-channel MOSFET and the general CMOS inverter circuits. The saturated MOSFET bias can control the output current and the frequency response of the circuit. The experimental results show that lower short circuit current control can make the lower frequency response of the circuit.
