  • A 7 x 7 x 2 mm³ 8.6-μW 500-kb/s Transmitter With Robust Injection-Locking-Based Frequency-to-Amplitude Conversion Receiver Targeting for Implantable Applications

    by Bo Xiong, Yida Li, Aaron Voon-Yew Thean, Chun-Huat Heng

    A transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) pair using galvanic coupling to achieve in-body to on-body body channel communication (I2O-BCC) for ultra-low power (ULP) miniaturized implanted applications is presented. The I2O-BCC enables low loss communication (<40 dB) within 10-40 MHz band and up to 10-cm in vivo communication distance using the body as a transmission medium. Injection locking (IL)-based frequency-to-amplitude (F2A) conversion demodulator is proposed in RX. It can handle more than 20% frequency variations exhibited by the TX frequency-shift keying (FSK) signals due to the lack of accurate off-chip reference. The packaged implanted TX measures 7 x 7 x 2 mm³. It contains a micro-battery, two micro-probes, and the designed SoC in 130-nm CMOS process. The in-body TX radio block consumes only 8.6 μW at 500 kb/s with an on-chip power management unit that exhibits a 45% power efficiency, while the on-body RX consumes 591.5 μW. The TX radio block power is 8x lower than previous works and achieves energy efficiency at 17.2 pJ/b with minimal bill of material (BOM).

    All WSe2 1T1R resistive RAM cell for future monolithic 3D embedded memory integration

    by Maheswari Sivan, Yida Li, Hasita Veluri, Yunshan Zhao, Baoshan Tang, Xinghua Wang, Evgeny Zamburg, Jin Feng Leong, Jessie Xuhua Niu, Umesh Chand, et al.

    3D monolithic integration of logic and memory has been the most sought after solution to surpass the Von Neumann bottleneck, for which a low-temperature processed material system becomes inevitable. Two-dimensional materials, with their excellent electrical properties and low thermal budget are potential candidates. Here, we demonstrate a low-temperature hybrid co-integration of one-transistor-one-resistor memory cell, comprising a surface functionalized 2D WSe2p-FET, with a solution-processed WSe2 Resistive Random Access Memory. The employed plasma oxidation technique results in a low Schottky barrier height of 25 meV with a mobility of 230 cm2 V−1 s−1, leading to a 100x performance enhanced WSe2p-FET, while the defective WSe2 Resistive Random Access Memory exhibits a switching energy of 2.6 pJ per bit. Furthermore, guided by our device-circuit modelling, we propose vertically stacked channel FETs for high-density sub-0.01 μm2 memory cells, offering a new beyond-Si solution to enable 3-D embedded memories for future computing systems.
