For predictive simulations, the energy distributions have to be thoroughly resolved by including the fullband structure, impact ionization (II), electron electron scattering (EE), as well as the interaction of minority carriers with the majority carriers.

It consists of a two-step conversion of heat into electricity. The first step is a thermo-mechanical conversion by a bimetal and the second is an electromechanical conversion by a piezoelectric. The first developed prototypes show natural thermal resistance matching between their body and the interface with ambient air, and therefore do not need a heat sink in order to work. The available mechanical power (2.7 mW/cm2 measured in practice for a single bimetal, and extendable to theoretical 27 mW/cm2 for 100 bimetals occupying the same surface) that can be converted into electricity may lead to a superior performance compared to the best commercial Seebeck devices. Analytical scaling laws for our technology have been established and show power density gain equal to the scaling factor, making it LSI integration favorable.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89071859","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}

Silicon measurements on low complexity circuits show that the dynamic power consumption can be reduced by 90% without any speed degradation by simply selecting the appropriate power supply and body bias couple (Vdd; Vbb). A simple switching energy efficiency model is then proposed allowing the (Vdd; Vbb) couple prediction reaching the minimum energy point. Finally, we demonstrate on a full CPU Core implementation with UTBB a total power reduction of -30% and a +40% energy efficiency at identical speed with respect to bulk technology thanks to back side gate biasing efficiency.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91414785","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}
