**Abstract:**

IoT end-nodes require extreme performance andenergy efficiency coupled with high flexibility to deal with theincreasing computational requirements and variety of mod-ern near-sensor data analytics applications. Low-Bitwidth andMixed-Precision arithmetic is emerging as a trend to addressthe near-sensor analytics challenge in several fields such aslinear algebra, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) inference, andon-line learning. We present Dustin, a fully programmableMultiple Instruction Multiple Data (MIMD) cluster integrating16 RISC-V cores featuring 2b-to-32b bit-precision instruction setarchitecture (ISA) extensions enabling fine-grain tunable mixed-precision computation. The cluster can be dynamically configuredin Vector Lockstep Execution Mode (VLEM), turning off all IFstages except one, reducing power consumption by up to 38%with no performance degradation. The cluster, implemented in65nm CMOS technology, achieves a peak performance of 58GOPS and a peak efficiency of 1.15 TOPS/W.

**Abstract:**

This paper presents circuit monitoring, reviewing different classes of silicon monitoring solutions, the specificity of each class and where they best fit in the life-cycle of circuit design. Circuit monitoring for Silicon versus Computer-Aided- Design (CAD) calibration. In-Die test and In-Field compensation using Adaptative Voltage Scaling (AVS) or Adaptative Body-Bias (ABB) or both are discussed. Illustrations of Silicon measurement or CAD simulation analysis from 40nm CMOS general purpose, 28nm FD-SOI automotive are exposed.

**Abstract:**

InGaAs is an attractive material for high-speed, high-frequency electronics and ultra-low-noise applications. This paper discusses a number of interesting device physics in nanoscale InGaAs FinFETs of relevance to the development of electronics based on other material systems: excess off-state current due to band-to-band tunneling and a parasitic lateral bipolar transistor effect, ballistic mobility and injection velocity, as well as a new technique to extract the charge-control relationship in the presence of severe gate oxide trapping.

**Abstract:**

The subject of the paper is substrate capacitance modeling for MOSFET-based RF switches on high-ohmic silicon substrates. Microstrip line computational models are applied for calculating the capacitance. It is proposed to use inverted microstrip line model for the flip-chip IC mounting configuration. The model-to-hardware correlation has been demonstrated on a prototype switch IC fabricated in a dedicated 130nm bulk- CMOS technology. The calculated switch RF breakdown voltages (serving as an indicator for the substrate capacitance) of 56V and 54.8V was measured to be 55.4V and 51.4V for the wire-bonded and flip-chip ICs respectively.

**Abstract:**

With rising demand for higher frequency system-on-chip MEMS, accuracy in the modelling and design phase becomes increasingly important. The impact of mechanical anisotropic layers on the acoustic band gap formation in a CMOS back-end-of-line Bragg mirror is studied by analytic and finite element approaches. In particular the influence of anisotropic monocrystalline copper sheets, with varying crystal orientations, is investigated for monolithic high-Q MEMS resonator confinement. It is shown that for a mechanical FinFET resonator in the front-end-of-line multiple resonant frequencies can coexist on the same wafer, depending on the spatial extents of the device. All of which need to be accommodated by a broadband mechanical band gap in the back-end-of-line which is demonstrated for different anisotropic copper crystal orientations.

**Abstract:**

We present a study based on numerical simulations and comparative analysis of recent experimental data concerning the operation and design of FeFETs. Our results show that a proper consideration of charge trapping in the ferroelectric-dielectric stack is indispensable to reconcile simulations with experiments, and to attain the desired hysteretic behavior of the current-voltage characteristics. Then we analyze a few design options for polysilicon channel FeFETs and, in particular, we study the influence of the channel thickness and doping concentration on the memory window, and on the ratio between the polarization dependent, high and low resistance state.

**Abstract:**

A compact analytical model is reported capturing the effects of Coulomb Blockade and charge quantization on the drain current characteristics of a MOSFET-based semiconductor quantum dot at cryogenic temperatures. It is implemented as a Verilog-A add-on to the foundry-provided MOSFET model to facilitate potential integration in any design kit and allow for simulation of quantum processors that integrate qubits and control electronics on the same die. The model was verified in the 6-50 K temperature range on the measured I-V characteristics of a nanoscale p-MOSFET fabricated in production 22nm FDSOI CMOS technology.

**Abstract:**

In this paper, we propose a fully integrated area-efficient bias generation system using a single input reference for a 2D quantum core structure comprising quantum dot arrays. The arrangement of biases initializes the quantum structure before a sophisticated quantum experiment can commence. The circuit area is 0.011mm^2 and the power consumption is 220uW at 3.5K with a 0.8V supply in a 22nm FD-SOI process. The proposed scheme can be readily extended to more complex quantum structures.

**Abstract:**

A novel coherent optical link is proposed to serve as the interconnection technology between the room temperature and cryogenic temperature environment for quantum computing and high-performance superconducting computing. The trade-off on the energy efficiency of this link is discussed. A prototype optical transmitter is fabricated in the 45RFSOI CMOS process and characterized at the cryogenic temperature. Measurement results show that this optical transmitter is able to be directly driven by superconducting electronics with millivolt-level voltage swing, and the new link has five times better energy efficiency than the traditional intensity modulation, direct-detection link.

**Abstract:**

Digital PLLs are nowadays recognized as a viable approach for the design of high-performance frequency synthesizers in scaled CMOS technologies. Latest implementations allow achieving at low power both state-of-the-art rms jitter, between 50fs and 100fs, and highly linear fast frequency modulation capability, thus enabling both high-efficiency communications systems and radar applications in CMOS. This paper will briefly trace the path from the (re-)discover of this approach to the more recent solutions, discussing the main characteristics of key building blocks and their limitations such as the non-linearities, and the noise, that still calls for a sound knowledge of analog design techniques.
