Overview of Current
Research |
|
|
Research in
the Nanoelectronics Lab at UCSB focuses on two central themes:
-
Emerging
nanoscale issues in scaled CMOS technologies and their
implications for high-performance and low-power circuits
-
Circuit
and system applications of non-classical CMOS and beyond-CMOS
nanoelectronics
Specific areas
of emphasis within the first theme include:
-
Robust
circuit design and design automation techniques under increasing
variability and leakage
-
Ultra
high-frequency interconnect modeling and extraction techniques
-
Integrated
electro-thermal engineering of devices, interconnects, circuits
and systems
-
Innovative
low-power circuit design
Research areas
under the second theme include:
-
Innovative
device-circuit-architecture (including 3-D ICs) co-design and
optimization for overcoming end-of-roadmap CMOS limitations such
as leakage and electrostatic effects
-
Investigating
and benchmarking of emerging nanoelectronic devices (such as
silicon-nanowire and carbon-nanotube based FETs) and interconnects
for VLSI applications
-
Novel
circuit and system applications (including fast switch and memory)
of beyond-CMOS nanotechnologies
