A layout-dependent circuit-design model from Toshiba helps boost gate density and improve cost-performance in next-generation 45-nm CMOS technology. More specifically, 45-nm CMOS gate density can be 2 ...

As author R. Jacob “Jake” Baker points out in the preface to this comprehensive volume, CMOS technology has dominated the fabrication of ICs for 25 years, and is likely to dominate it for another 25 ...

Editor’s note: I am pleased to bring you an important technical blog by Fernando Lavalle, a Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University and his colleague, Suraj Prakash, who have been working and studying ...

Ireland-based IC Mask Design is offering a range of training courses on IC layout aimed at all levels of expertise which focus on the development of physical design skills. The ‘Master-IC’ courses, ...

The three-transistor design or 3T Pixel is the simplest CMOS pixel architecture (Figure 1). One transistor is used to reset or precharge the photodiode while two more are used for video readout: one ...
