Thermal Management for SOC on Sub-Nanometer Process Technology Nodes

Thermal management is becoming more critical for SoC design on sub-nanometer technology nodes due to the significant increase in both active and leakage power consumption. A good thermal solution allows the system architect to design a more cost effective cooling solution based on system operating conditions. The design of accurate on-die temperature sensors have traditional been designed with large complex analog blocks which require extensive design effort and scale

poorly with technology. In this talk, an ultra-low power digital based temperature sensor for monitoring the silicon junction temperature is presented. The sensor design considers technology scaling and allows a more efficient power/performance/area trade-off with accuracy. Furthermore, the talk describes how multiple instances of the temperature sensor can be implemented in a microprocessor based system to observe temperature gradients that can be caused due to local hotspots, allowing for better thermal management at the system level.

Organic Semiconductor Technology: From Process to Device Applications on Flexible Substrates

Large-area organic semiconductor technologies have opened a wide range of more or less complex applications in electronics. The main challenges of these nowadays technologies are the stability and the reproducibility of the process flow they use. In CEA/LITEN we have chosen a fully printed process on flexible substrates to develop our organic devices and applications. This process mainly uses laser ablation for gold electrodes and screen printing for all other layers, such as organic dielectrics or semiconductors or even metallic pastes. We will, present in our talk a brief overview of the

Design Exploration of Heterogeneous Memory Technologies

A hierarchical modeling methodology is proposed for emerging memory devices. It starts from the generic behavioral model of a digital memory, the finite-state-machine (FSM), and then maps the FSM to a common structural model, using an equivalent circuit. Furthermore, it integrates device-level models of various memory types, in order to comprehend the underlying physical mechanisms. Finally, this framework investigates leading reliability concerns and develops external modules for them. Such a generic modeling methodology is capable of pathfinding at the early stage, evaluating the tradeoffs among different process/design choices, and adaptively developing reliable design solutions.

In this presentation, a 60-GHz direct-conversion transceiver using 60-GHz quadrature oscillators is demonstrated for more than 10Gb/s Wireless Communication. A 60-GHz frequency synthesizer is implemented by a combination of a 20-GHz PLL and a 60-GHz quadrature injection-locked oscillator, which achieves a phase noise of -95dBc/Hz@1MHz-offset at 60GHz. A transceiver chip fabricated by a 65nm CMOS process is capable of 16Gb/s in 16QAM mode. The transmitter and the receiver consume 181mW and 138mW, respectively.

Towards the Next Generation of Power-Aware VLSI Test Technologies

Advances in hardware/software-based power management techniques are effectively driving down the function-mode power dissipation of a VLSI design; however, power dissipation during test, which is indispensable for screening out bad VLSI chips with manufacturing defects, often becomes excessively high due to the use of non-functional test data and/or test clocking. In order to avoid severe yield loss due to test-power-induced false failures, test power must be properly managed during test. Numerous power-aware test techniques have been developed in the past decade for this purpose, which can be classified as first-generation solutions. Their major drawback is that they are aimed at simply reducing global test power, which results in (1) unguaranteed test power safety, (2) test data inflation, and (3) compromised test quality. These problems are calling for the development of next-generation power-aware VLSI test technologies. This presentation first describes test power basics and then comprehensively reviews major first-generation power-aware test techniques. After that, the needs for developing the next-generation power-aware test technologies are explained and the necessary characteristics required for these technologies are highlighted. Finally, as a pioneering next-generation power-aware test technology, the so-called right-power testing based on sophisticated pinpoint test power management, is introduced for inspiring more research and development activities in this emerging field.

Proposed electronic devices for extending CMOS and beyond will exploit new principals of operation and exotic materials systems. Novel electrical, optical, and physical characterization techniques will be required to validate device operation and physical structure. More importantly, for nano-scale devices, almost every atomic bond in the structure needs to be accounted for. This presentation will provide an overview of techniques based on optical photo emission, ultra-fast current measurements, and micro electron spin resonance to characterize buried hetero-semiconductor interfaces and electrically active defects in novel electronic devices.

MOSFET and Spin Transistor Simulations

The breathtaking increase in performance and speed of ICs became possible by continuous miniaturization of CMOS devices. The success of the microelectronics technology has been enabled and supported by sophisticated TCAD tools. The TCAD related cost reduction share amounts to 40%. Employing spin of an electron is promising for boosting the efficiency of future low-power ICs, and TCAD tools must include spin transport in order to meet the demands. Because of recent ground-breaking experiments on spin injection and spin transport at room temperature silicon is gaining momentum for applications involving spin. Requirements for making a spinFET are discussed. Alternative spin-based switches will be shortly reviewed.

Addressing the Thermal Challenges in Emerging Computing Platforms

Using the measurements from the thermal sensors, I will describe techniques for dynamic thermal management of multi-core processors where the performance of a real processor is optimally adapted depending on the thermal slack measured by the sensors during runtime. In addition, the experimental techniques required for data acquisition of power and temperatures of real systems will be overviewed.

Managing SoCs Beyond Their Thermal Design Power

The current trend in mobile computing is to design platforms with negative thermal margins: their die can dissipate (in a sustainable way) significantly more than the thermal design power of the package and the handheld's chassis. Such an apparently suicidal policy is dictated by market pressure form the smart phone and tablet markets: the CPUs of new platforms are marketed on their peak clock frequency, as maximum-speed sequential execution is required for a few critical use cases (e.g., first-time loading of script-rich web page). As a consequence we need to learn how to manage

platforms which are inherently thermally unstable. In this talk I will highlight the key points of the looming thermal crisis, and discuss promising hardware-software evolutions which can help us design and manage SoCs in a thermally-constrained environment.

Nanoscale Characterisation of Energy Generation from Piezoelectric Thin Films

Nanoindentation is used to characterize in situ the energy generation from piezoelectric thin films. This work presents the controlled observation of nanoscale piezoelectric energy generation, allowing accurate quantification and mapping of force function variations. We characterize both continuous thin films and lithographically patterned nanoislands with constrained interaction area. The influence of size on energy generation parameters is reported, demonstrating that nanoislands can exhibit more effective current generation than continuous films. This quantitative finding indicates further research into the impact of nanoscale patterning of piezoelectric thin films will yield an improved platform for integrated microscale energy scavenging systems.
