This has lead to a new, reduced standard digital CMOS supply voltage of 3.3 V reducing the power consumption by 70%. However, the power consumption can still be cut down substantially by reducing the supply and threshold voltages much further without compromising systems performance. A loss in device speed can be compensated on the systems level by appropriate parallel architectures. Based on this concept of ultra-low-power CMOS technologies we explore the lower limits of CMOS supply voltage and switching energy for a variety of circuit classes analytically and numerically. Ultra-low-power (ULP) process and device design, device modeling, performance evaluation, and the specific problems associated with ULP mixed-analog-digital technologies are discussed.","PeriodicalId":266178,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Semiconductor Conference. 19th Edition.

This is due to the capabilities that this technique offers in the area of optoelectronic device integration. Typically, SAEOM is used in conjunction with very thin (\"quantum\") layer structures to easily achieve controlled variations of the optical absorption edge along an integrated optical wave guide, leading to such integrated devices as, e.g., enhanced optical coupling laser, laser plus electro-absorption modulator, etc. This process is rather typical for organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) and cannot be duplicated with other competitive techniques such as GSMBE or CBE. Computer modeling the epitaxial deposition process can be used in this context, both for pre-designing the process and for post checking its success. For such a tool to be more than a qualitative guide, it must be tailored carefully to suit the experimental conditions. It is the purpose of the present paper to show that indeed, and in spite of the process complexity, the predictions of the computer model can be in quantitative agreement with experiment. Its field of application is basically in the technology of InGaAsP optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":266178,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Semiconductor Conference. 19th Edition.

A covering layer of gold is advantageous from the point of view of bonding as well. Gold palladium layers were studied on InP substrates. Samples were annealed in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the volatile component loss (phosphorus) was monitored by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The changes of the surface morphology were studied using the SEM images. It means that the change of surface morphology and the volatile component loss were monitored simultaneously. In the case of Pd/A/sup III/B/sup V/ samples a single characteristic peak due to the interaction taking place between the metallization and the substrate was observed on the volatile component loss vs. temperature curve. In this temperature range characteristic pattern formation can be detected. This surface morphology shows fractal behaviour. It is supposed that the giant volatile component loss originating from the interaction between the metallization and the substrate can be described using percolation theory.","PeriodicalId":266178,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Semiconductor Conference. 19th Edition.

There are many well-defined memory functions, but there isn't yet an adequate structural implementation for any of them. The main memory functions are usually software implemented as data structures, using RAM as hardware support, but having low performance in applications because all implementations rely on sequential mechanisms. The Connex Memory (CM), involves a base-level structural parallelism that would increase the performance in tree/list processing. This paper is concerned with the synthesis of an enhanced version of CM. Specific applications of the CM include list processing, set operations, string matching and Prolog-like computation.","PeriodicalId":266178,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Semiconductor Conference. 19th Edition.
