A DC-DC converter architecture for low-power, high-resistance thermoelectric generators for use in body-powered designs

Creator:

Miller, Brian A.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

Random dopants and low-frequency noise reduction in deep-submicron MOSFET technology

Creator:

Miller, Drake A.

Abstract:

The future of mixed-signal, memory, and microprocessor technologies are dependent on ever increasing analog and digital integration, higher cell densities, and demand for more processing power. As a result MOSFET device dimensions continue to shrink to meet these demands. A side effect of device scaling is increased variability at each...
