This paper discusses challenges of implementing embedded dosimeters into larger CMOS systems-on-chip (SoCs) in deep-scaled CMOS technologies (with gate lengths smaller than 90 nm) where the high level of intrinsic radiation hardness and limited availability of floating gate structures prohibit realizing a highly sensitive radfet-type dosimeter. We therefore propose a novel Logic-I/O Threshold Comparison Dosimeter, which offers compatibility with advanced CMOS technology nodes and co-integration with other circuitry. The proposed dosimeter estimates dose level by directly comparing threshold voltages between I/O and logic devices. Furthermore, through carefully sizing the logic and I/O devices and designing the vital comparator circuitry, we can also achieve required temperature independence for deep-space applications. A prototype is then fabricated in 65-nm CMOS, and measured up to 75 Mrad(Si) of total ionized dose at a Cobalt 60 (γ) facility.

Abstract-With the ultra-scaling of CMOS technology, high-speed and low-power millimeter-wave communication systems for network-on-chip have been attracting more and more attentions due to the wider bandwidth and higher data rate that can meet the ever-increasing needs for multimedia, massive external data storage, or even biomedical applications. However, from manufacturing's perspective, the circuits implementations are increasingly susceptible to fabrication process variations with the scaling of CMOS technology, which results in loss of yield rate. To solve this issue, a sensor-fusion solution is proposed in this paper by adding multiple on-chip sensors, including power detectors, temperature sensors, information envelope detectors and related filters, instrumentation amplifiers using a standard CMOS process. These sensors and detectors aim to collect critical system performance and environmental parameters, which will be utilized by a self-healing and optimization algorithm to adjust the state of system components by digitized control knobs.

Abstract-Touch sensing, as a major human/machine interface, is widely used in various commercial products such as smart watches, mobile phones, tablets and TVs. State-of-the-art touch detections are mainly based on mutual capacitive sensing, which requires necessary contact-touch, limiting the mobile user experience. Recently, remote gesture sensing is widely reported in both academy and industry as it can provide additional userexperience for mobile interface. The capacitive remote gesture sensing is mainly based on detecting self-capacitance, achieving high resolution through eliminating the parasitic mutual capacitance. In this work, we overview the different generations of touchscreen technology, comparing the touch and remote gesture sensing technologies difference. In addition, different remote gesture sensing technologies are also compared. The limitations and potentials of different topologies are discussed and a final conclusion about the technology trends is summarized in the end.
