High-Coloration Efficiency and Low-Power Consumption Electrochromic Film based on Multifunctional Conducting Polymer for Large Scale Smart Windows

The sensing module that converts physical or chemical stimuli into electrical signals is the core of future smart electronics in the post-Moore era. Challenges lie in the realization and integration of different detecting functions on a single chip. We propose a new design of on-chip construction for low-power consumption sensor, which is based on the optoelectronic detection mechanism with external stimuli and compatible with CMOS technology. A combination of flipped silicon nanomembrane phototransistors and stimuli-responsive materials presents low-power consumption (CMOS level) and demonstrates great functional expansibility of sensing targets, e.g., hydrogen concentration and relative humidity. With a device-first, wafer-compatible process introduced for large-scale silicon flexible electronics, our work shows great potential in the development of flexible and integrated smart sensing systems for the realization of Internet of Things applications.

Scale Integration

As the Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) techniques are mostly focused on high-speed and low power consumption circuits, various techniques and technologies were investigated to gain these two precious goals. Domino-logic is one of the circuits which is regarded to have high speed, high frequency and low power consumption. This work proposes a Domini logic circuit which has improved PDP compare to the previous one. The suggested circuit was simulated and the attained results show a considerable improvement in circuit’s speed in respect with its ancestor. The PDP of the circuit in 90 nm, biased at 1V, has been calculated as 53% approximately improvement. This improvement for PDP in 65 nm, 45 nm and 32 nm are 48%, 47% and 51% respectively.

Shim Coil

It is necessary to develop a high homogeneous, low power consumption, high frequency and small-size shim coil for high precision and low-cost atomic spin gyroscope (ASG). To provide the shim coil, a multi-objective optimization design method is proposed. All structural parameters including the wire diameter are optimized. In addition to the homogeneity, the size of optimized coil, especially the axial position and winding number, is restricted to develop the small-size shim coil with low power consumption. The 0-1 linear programming is adopted in the optimal model to conveniently describe winding distributions. The branch and bound algorithm is used to solve this model. Theoretical optimization results show that the homogeneity of the optimized shim coil is several orders of magnitudes better than the same-size solenoid. A simulation experiment is also conducted. Experimental results show that optimization results are verified, and power consumption of the optimized coil is about half of the solenoid when providing the same uniform magnetic field. This indicates that the proposed optimal method is feasible to develop shim coil for ASG.
