The aim of the work is to show the results of the designed NAND logic cell which consists of the enhancement-mode dual-gate HEMT transistor and the depletion-mode HEMT transistor integrated onto a single die. We present well calibrated electrophysical models for 2-D device simulations employing Sentaurus Device from Synopsys. Sentaurus Device mixed-mode setup interconnects both transistor types to NAND logic cell circuit which allows analysis and characterization of the device as the complex system. New circuit nonlinear models of depletion-mode and dual-gate enhancement-mode HEMTs are proposed and calibrated by experimental results. The proposed models exhibit more accurate results. Good agreement between measurements and simulations confirms the validity of the proposed models and simulation methodology.","PeriodicalId":328650,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems In Nanoscale Era (DTIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131065497","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}

The results validation has been pursued correlating the numerical thermal maps results with the experimental temperature distribution obtained from an infra-red camera. Front metal ratcheting has been recognized as the main root cause of contact resistance degradation during the considered reliability test (Repetitive Avalanche). This failure mode is dependent on the temperature variation for cycle, by which it is possible to predict the device lifetime according to the Coffin-Manson fatigue model.","PeriodicalId":328650,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems In Nanoscale Era (DTIS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125310927","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}

Therefore, the on-chip generation of SIC pairs has gained attention from a number of researchers. Previous schemes targeting the generation of SIC pairs utilizing adders affect the critical path of the adder, altering the timing characteristics of the circuit. In this paper a novel SIC pair generator is presented, based on a carry-look ahead adder. The proposed scheme imposes no intervention on the critical path of the adder, therefore its timing characteristics are not affected.","PeriodicalId":328650,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems In Nanoscale Era (DTIS)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115072512","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}

Thanks to the HW implementation, the scheduler operations are always completed in two clock cycles regardless of the number of tasks to be scheduled. Resource costs are evaluated by synthesis for Intel FPGA Cyclone V. Three different real-time task schedulers are compared: EDF-based scheduler suitable for hard real-time tasks only, GED-based scheduler suitable for soft real-time tasks only, and the proposed RED-based scheduler. The proposed scheduler handles deviations of task execution times better, achieves higher CPU utilization and can be used for scheduling of hard real-time, soft real-time and non-real-time tasks within one system, which was not possible with the former existing solutions.","PeriodicalId":328650,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems In Nanoscale Era (DTIS)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132800361","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}
