This paper reports on the design and experimental realization of a dual-mode surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator with two high-impedance resonant peaks for ultra low power binary frequency-shift-keying (FSK) modulator applications. The single-device structure of the dual-mode resonator is believe to be a promising solution to eliminate the loading effect and noise as a result of multiple switches and other parallel connected resonators, and has the potential to reduce the size and complexity of packaging, compared with the multi-resonator multi-frequency approaches. The dual-mode SAW resonator concept is realized by an in-house, two-mask process that delivered symmetric-mode resonators at 404.9 MHz with trans-impedance values of 1,100 Omega and quality factor of 3134, and anti-symmetric mode resonators at 407.6 MHz, with 900 Omega trans-impedance and 4014 quality factors. Based on the experimental results, we propose a FSK modulator that integrates this high-transimpedance dual-mode resonator and reaches data rates up to 1.5 Mbps. The FSK modulator can be used for low power transmitters in body area network (BAN) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Constrained Coding and Deep Learning Aided Threshold Detection for Resistive Memories

Xingwei Zhong, Kui Cai, Guanghui Song, Weijie Wang, Yao Zhu

Summary: In this letter, a novel constrained coding (CC) scheme and a deep learning (DL) aided threshold detection scheme are proposed to mitigate the sneak path (SP) problem in ReRAM arrays. The CC scheme reduces SPI and differentiates memory arrays into SPI-free and SPI-affected categories. For SPI-affected arrays, a DL detector is trained offline, and a DL-based threshold detector is proposed to avoid additional power consumption and latency. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve better error rate performance than prior art detection schemes without prior knowledge of the channel.

Tao Zhang, Yingchi Qu, Gang He

Summary: This paper studies the optimal pricing strategies of manufacturers and retailers in the energy industry using concepts from dynamic cooperative game theory. The results show that the optimal pricing in the noncooperative game is higher than in the cooperative game. Additionally, the cooperative game encourages greater energy consumption disparity between traditional energy products and new energy products, leading to reduced consumption of the latter.

A 16-nW-57-dBm Sensitivity Wakeup Receiver Using MEMS-Based Matching Network

Jingcheng Tao, Nan Wang, Yao Zhu, Eldwin Jiaqiang Ng, Chun-Huat Heng

Summary: This letter presents a nanowatt-level detector-first wakeup receiver using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based matching network. The receiver utilizes an aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric MEMS resonator to implement a high-impedance matching network, thus improving the receiver's sensitivity. The high-Q MEMS-based matching network also significantly enhances the receiver's out-of-band interference rejection. A gate-biased envelope detector is used for RF-to-baseband direct conversion. The wakeup receiver is implemented in a 180-nm CMOS process and achieves a sensitivity of -57 dBm with a 1-kbps on-off keying (OOK) data rate at 789 MHz using only 16-nW power consumption.

Li Chen, Wendong Song, Weijie Wang, Hock Koon Lee, Zhixian Chen, Wenting Zhao, Yao Zhu

Summary: In this letter, the researchers utilized KrF excimer laser annealing to achieve high-performance ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO). The laser effectively annealed the device layer with a high heating/cooling rate without overheating the under-layer deep structures. Through numerical simulation and experiment, they carefully studied the impact of laser fluence, number of pulses, and pulse duration on the ferroelectricity of HZO. By using an ultra-low laser fluence of around 84 mJ/cm(2) and 20 pulses, they achieved a remnant polarization 2p(r) of 22 mu C/cm(2), a coercive field of approximately 1 MV/cm, and a cycling endurance >10(8) in an 8 nm ferroelectric HZO thin film. The large beam size of the KrF excimer laser enables practical and efficient wafer-scale ferroelectric HZO annealing within a short period of time.

Optimizing contact angle changes for droplet actuation by optoelectrowetting (OEW): A numerical multi-parameter analysis

E. Oliveira, C. Doering, H. Fouckhardt

Summary: With the development of Lab on a chip technology, fluid management using dispersed droplets has become an important approach. Electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) is one method for droplet actuation, but it requires prior definition of droplet positions. Optoelectrowetting (OEW) goes further by allowing changes in electrical parameters through impinging light spots, without the need for predefined droplet positions. This study re-evaluates the key parameters of OEW and explores their effects on droplet actuation using numerical optimization methods.
