New Energy-Aware Evaluation Metric for Compression Circuits

Counter and compressor circuits are key building blocks in digital processing. Much effort has been spent on optimization of individual compression circuits based on traditional performance evaluation metrics, such as compression ratio (C-R). More recently used C-R/Gate-Delay metric reflects compression capability and performance of compression blocks simultaneously, but it does not give an insight into power consumption, which is a vital parameter in contemporary systems with prevailing battery life and power efficiency constraints. This paper proposes a new evaluation measure that incorporates energy consumption: C-R/PDP. This metric is then used to evaluate compression circuits based on simulated power delay product or PDP. Proposed C-R/PDP metric showed that (2,3,3) counter is not as efficient as 4:2 and 5:2 compressor. Similarly, (6,3) and (12,4) are not as efficient as (7,3) and (13,4) respectively when PDP is considered. These properties cannot be detected using the previous C-R/Gate-Delay metric.

This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...

This thesis presents distributed MEMS transmission line (DMTL) phase shifters, emphasizing the circuit modeling and design as well as the performance improvement. A novel modeling methodology is introduced for DMTL unit sections, with bridge widths larger than 50 μm. The introduced model is compared with EM simulation results and the CLR modeling results. For structures with bridge widths larger than 50 μm, the introduced model fits the simulation results much better than the CLR model. The simulated struct...
