Particularly, background charges on the island of SET devices affect the phase of Coulomb blockade oscillation, and may eventually lead to incorrect circuit operation. In order to construct robust SET circuits, we explore new design methods based on feedback architectures and novel characteristics of SET devices. We first discuss the impact of a direct feedback on circuit performance against background charges. Then, we propose a self-adapted input-referred feedback structure which can drastically reduce the sensitivity of circuit behaviors to background charge fluctuations. An improved hybrid CMOS-SET ADC circuit is also presented as an example to take advantage of the proposed feedback architecture for robustness against random background charges.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"439 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115937297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to confirm the properties of the PCL/PGA blend nanofiber scaffold, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), contact angle and bio degradation test were performed. The results of the experiments showed that the PC L/PGA blend nanofibers have an average diameter of around 200 nm.
