摘要： A memory cell includes an SRAM flip-flop cell having two nodes coupled to ferroelectric capacitors so that when the SRAM is powered down, the ferroelectric devices store data and upon power up, transfer the stored data to the SRAM cell. The ferroelectric devices can be bypassed during normal SRAM operations to reduce hysteresis fatigue.

摘要： A low-cost and efficient process produces self-aligned vias in dielectric polymer films that provides electrical connection between a top conductor and a bottom conductor. The process is achieved by printing conductive posts on the first patterned conductive layer, followed by the deposition of an unpatterned layer dielectric, followed by the deposition of a second patterned conductive layer. The vias are formed during the flash annealing of the post after the dielectric is deposited, but before the second conductive layer is deposited. In this process, the post material is annealed with a flash of light, resulting in a release of energy which removes the dielectric on the top of the post.

摘要： A non-quasistatic MOS frequency divider circuit uses a phase lock loop configuration including an antenna coil to induce a differential input signal, an antenna resonating capacitor, a rectifier, a voltage controlled ring oscillator, a phase detector and a loop filter. All transistors used are organic MOS devices of PMOS, NMOS or both PMOS and NMOS varieties. The voltage-controlled oscillator includes a multiple delay stage ring oscillator. The phase detector includes transistors connected as sampling switches to sample the individual oscillator stage voltages into the loop filter. The sampling transistors have gates connected to the coil. The loop filter provides a substantially direct current to a loop amplifier and then to the voltage controlled oscillator delay control input. This configuration results in the voltage controlled oscillator frequency being synchronous to—and at a sub-multiple of the antenna signal frequency. The sampling transistor gates are all connected to the coil and thereby become part of the capacitance of the radio frequency parallel resonant network. The transistor gates are then efficiently switched at the rate of the radio frequency signal with no delay relative to the coil voltage. Operation of the phase detector organic transistors is based on non-quasistatic behavior of the transistor. Non-quasistatic operation results in phase detection at a frequency much higher than the quasistatic limit of transistor unity gain bandwidth.
