We propose a simple, recursively defined, big circuit that, starting from own autonomy, generates pseudo-noise. To the well known method of using cellular automaton in order to generate pseudo-random sequences some new features are added in order to improve the \"random\" behaviour. The randomness results in a chaotic process, very sensible to the initial state of a simple machine working after a strange rule. The proposed structure claims a huge amount of work in order to find an appropriate initial state according to tire noise \"characteristics\". The initial state must be selected from a space having 2/sup 256/ points. Only the genetic algorithms offers us the illusion of finding the best point in this huge space.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

Due to the symmetry of the capacitance versus the voltage for these types of diodes, the second harmonics cannot propagate along the circuit toward the output, as such the conversion efficiency to the third harmonics is improved. It is also demonstrated that for this type of frequency tripler, a good conversion efficiency may be obtained for a large input frequency range.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

We studied the profiles of contact windows configured in several composed silicon dioxide films (thermal SiO/sub 2/ and APCVD SiO/sub 2/) using /spl alpha/-step measurements. Then, after metal deposition and configuration we observed by SEM investigations the conformity of metal films on steps (contact, cracking, thinning on edge of the window). Finally, we proposed a sequence of composed planarization film (thermal SiO/sub 2/ and APCVD SiO/sub 2/ undoped and phosphorous doped) and metallization proved by /spl alpha/-step, SEM and functional investigations to be an optimized solution.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.
