Optimized Topology of an ASIC for Thermal Analysis of Multi-Core Processors

Szermer M., Kotynia L., Zajac P., Janicki M., Napieralski A., Lodz University of Technology, PL

The main goal of the paper is to present the optimized ASIC design for the investigation of thermal-coupling among cores in multi-core processors. In short, we designed a dedicated ASIC composed of regular 16x24 heat [...]

Thermal Coupling in Technologies Based on Tri-gate Transistors

Janicki M., Zajac P., Szermer M., Napieralski A., Lodz University of Technology, PL

This paper presents the analyses of static and dynamic thermal coupling among microsystem components for technologies based on tri-gate transistors. Simulations were carried out using Green’s function thermal solver based on power trace data computed [...]

Current-Controlled Switches for HV SoI Processes – Structure, Application and Integration in Functional Blocks

Jankowski M., Napieralski A., Lodz University of Technology, PL

The paper presents an approach to high-voltage current-controlled switches, their structures, properties and application possibilities. Moreover, ways of merging these switches into core structure of HV processing components, so as to retain required switch operation [...]

Nanolayer Interconnect Structures Ageing by Beam Resonance Method

Janczyk G., Bieniek T., Instytut Technologii Elektronowej, PL

This paper discusses important aspects of investigation on interconnects reliability and ageing which has to be considered in nanoscale. The research is ongoing and applies to structures like SiP, SoC where mechanical stress caused by [...]

The growth of a polycrystalline graphene from a liquid phase

Kula P., Pietrasik R., Dybowski K., Atraszkiewicz R., Kaczmarek L., Kazimierski D., Niedzielski P., Modrzyk W., Technical University of Lodz, PL

The novelty of the presented paper is the mechanism of graphene growth from the liquid phase on the Cu-Ni alloy and the type of atmosphere, which was used in the graphene fabrication - acetylene, ethylene, [...]

Physical properties of multilayer thin films of Ti-V and their hydrides studied by ion beam analysis methods

Drogowska K., Flege S., Becker H.-W., Tarnawski Z., Zakrzewska K., Balogh A.G., AGH University of Science and Technology, PL

A wide variety of characterization techniques were used to determine the properties of titanium, titanium oxides and vanadium oxide thin film multilayers with different thicknesses, for the as-deposited state as well as under different levels [...]

Ageing of elastomeric composites with natural antioxidants

Masek A., Zaborski M., Institute of Polymer and Dye Technology, PL

The natural antioxidants which were added to ethylene-octene elastomer (polyolefin elastomer-Engage). Vulcanizates were then subjected to numerous ageing: weathering (climat of Floryda), UV (0,7 W/m2), thermo-oxidation ageing (1000C/10days) and thermal-shock (-600C/+1000C) as a function of [...]

The identification of PM parameters in compression ignition engines

Pielecha J., Poznan University of Technology, PL

The paper discusses the possibility of a synthetic approach to the parameters of PM generated by Diesel engines. The authors felt compelled to realize the task following the obtainment of positive results of the PM [...]
