CISE Research Instrumentation: Equipment for IC Measurement and Testing

9320066 Green购买的设备将专门用于支持模拟和数字VLSI的研究。它将用于几个项目，特别是：设计不需要共模反馈的全差分电流模式电路；辐射探测系统模拟集成电路的设计；超高速过采样模数转换器的超导技术研究。所购买的测试测量设备包括一台失真分析仪、一台半导体参数分析仪和一台彩色绘图仪。该失真分析仪将用于全差分电流型电路的设计和辐射检测系统模拟集成电路的设计。对于模拟集成电路中存在的低电平噪声和失真的精确测量至关重要。半导体参数分析仪也将在这些项目中使用，以获得单个器件和子电路（例如，差分对）的特性测量。这种测量需要确定单个器件参数对整个大型电路性能的影响。彩色绘图仪将用于所有三个项目，以便在将芯片提交给铸造厂之前检查电路布局是否存在错误。这对于模拟电路尤其重要，因为模拟电路通常不能使用优化的工具来检查数字电路。*** E B TERMINALHLP @ j 9320066 Green购买的设备将专门用于支持模拟和数字VLSI的研究。它将用于pz:K p $ $ $ $G P Z P时代符号“ Helvetica Chicago Times New Roman & Arial 5 Courier New R ZapfDingbats Palatino Greek GenMath MathMeteor MT Extra % % ”；e;e 5 Green/SUNYSB Mark Purvis Mark Purvis

9320066 Green The equipment purchased will be dedicated to support research in analog and digital VLSI. It will be used for several projects, including in particular: design of fully differential current-mode circuits that do not need common-mode feedback; design of analog IC's for radiation detection systems; research of superconducting technologies for the design of extremely high-speed oversampling analog-to-digital converters. The test and measurement equipment to be purchased includes a distortion analyzer, a semiconductor parameter analyzer and a color plotter. The distortion analyzer will be used in the design of fully differential current-mode circuits and the design of analog IC's for radiation detection systems. It is essential for obtaining precise values of low-level noise and distortion present in analog integrated circuits. The semiconductor parameter analyzer will also be used in these projects to obtain measurement of the characteristics of individual devices and subcircuits (e.g., a differential pair). Such measurements are needed to determine the effects of individual device parameters on the performance of an overall large circuit. The color plotter is to be used on all three of the projects in order to check the circuit layouts for errors before submitting the chip to the foundry. This is particularly important for analog circuits which generally cannot be fully checked using tools optimized for checking digital circuits. *** E B TERMINALHLP @ j 9320066 Green The equipment purchased will be dedicated to support research in analog and digital VLSI.
