Self-Heating and Parasitic Effects in Multi-Tier CFET Design

Self-Heating and Parasitic Effects in Multi-Tier CFET Design 150 150

Abstract:

In this article, we study the impact of self-heating effects (SHEs) and middle of line (MOL) and back-end of line (BEOL) induced parasitics on multi-tier CFET design, where multiple nanosheet devices are vertically stacked. We analyze and compare the four-tier complementary FET (CFET) design with the conventional two-tier CFET, using …

Open DRAM Model—Part II: Enabling Processing-in-Memory in 3-D DRAM

Open DRAM Model—Part II: Enabling Processing-in-Memory in 3-D DRAM 150 150

Abstract:

Processing-in-memory (PIM) by implementing Boolean logic functions in dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has been proposed to alleviate the memory wall problem in data-intensive computing. However, quantitatively evaluating DRAM-based logic operations across different DRAM architectures remains challenging due to the lack of publicly available DRAM cell and peripheral transistor models …

Verifica: Near-Memory Symbolic Interval Computing Formal Neural Network Verification Accelerator

Verifica: Near-Memory Symbolic Interval Computing Formal Neural Network Verification Accelerator 150 150

Abstract:

Formal robustness verification of neural networks is essential for deploying machine learning (ML) systems in safety-critical applications. However, existing verification frameworks are predominantly software-based, incurring prohibitive computational costs and long runtimes, severely limiting scalability and practical deployment. Although symbolic interval analysis enables scalable over-approximate verification, its effectiveness is limited by …

A Capacitor-Free Hybrid-Process Low Dropout Regulator With Ultrahigh-Gain Amplifier and Super Source Follower for 0.297 mV/A Load Regulation and 0.024 mV/V Line Regulation

A Capacitor-Free Hybrid-Process Low Dropout Regulator With Ultrahigh-Gain Amplifier and Super Source Follower for 0.297 mV/A Load Regulation and 0.024 mV/V Line Regulation 150 150

Abstract:

The proposed capacitor-free hybrid-process low-dropout regulator (LDO) achieves 900-mA maximum current capacity and 99.99% peak current efficiency with 90 $\mu $ A quiescent current. By combining GaN and silicon processes, the proposed Ultrahigh gain amplifier (UHGA) enables a high loop gain to achieve 0.297-mV/A load regulation and 0.024-mV/V line regulation. Furthermore, …
