To reduce the switching loss and improve the efficiency, the converter operates in buck or boost mode when the input voltage is much higher or lower than the output voltage. However, a large output voltage ripple appears at the boundary of buck mode and boost mode due to the speed limitation of standard analog circuit. A transition mode using a digital dither technique is adopted and the output voltage ripple is reduced when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. Furthermore, the average inductor current is also reduced in the proposed transition mode. The converter has been designed with a standard a 0.5 µm CMOS process. The peak efficiency is 96% and the output voltage ripple is reduced to less than 10 mV in the transition mode.","PeriodicalId":6363,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89494982","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}

Dedicated process on modified tool was introduced to achieve a good contact between TaN and sensing material. There are both CVD and ETCH chamber installed on this modified tool. Wafer with bottom electrode pattern was pre-cleaned firstly by low-power Ar/CF4 gas to remove oxide and possible surface residue on TaN in etch chamber. Then the wafer was transferred to CVD chamber through transfer chamber in vacuum condition. With vacuum transfer condition and tightly Q-time control, ohmic contact can be achieved for the TaN bottom electrode and B-doped alpha-Si.

In this model, input signals are accumulated 4 times by the type of current and then converted to digital signals to accomplish the other accumulation by 32 times, i.e., 4×32 accumulation mode. The noise, which includes switch charge injection, sample noise and KT/C noise, is considered in this model. The major source of the noise and the relationship between noise and sample capacitance are evaluated through the model simulation. The results indicate that the total noise can be restrained by increasing sample capacitance. When the input signal is arranging from 0µA to 100µA, the accuracy of the current accumulator can be 11bits by using 1pF sample capacitor. And the SNR of the output signal can be increased by 20.38dB which is close to the ideal result.","PeriodicalId":6363,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75207413","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}
