Many types of signal processing have indeed moved to the digital domain, analog circuits have proved
fundamentally necessary in many of today’s complex, high performance systems. The design of analog circuits
itself has evolved together with the technology and the performance requirements. As the device dimensions
shrink, the supply voltage of integrated circuits drops, and analog and digital circuits are fabricated on one
chip, many design issues arise that were unimportant only a decade ago. Such trends demand that the
analysis and design of circuits be accomplished by an in-depth understanding.

The race to the next process node of FinFETs becomes more prominent after the Intel's & TSMC's
announcement to use tri-gate technology (FinFETs) commercially in below 20nm node. Last year, the revealed
the 16nm FinFET process that by many measures is one of the most advanced semiconductor technologies.
Most of the other semiconductor industries/foundries are expected to adopt FinFETs at 16/14 nm in order to
keep pace imposed by the Intel and TSMC. However, similar to the problems faced by any new technology,
FinFETs with sub-20 nm feature size also faces several design challenges. Most of these challenges arise due
to technological restriction that again degrades its performances. Although, some performance boosters such
as high permittivity spacers, enhances the device characteristics but has limited applicability in highperformance circuit applications. Researchers also explored various physical configurations/architectures to
alleviate device-circuit co-design to improve the overall performance. However, contradictory observations
have been made with respect to device and circuit immunity to random variations that result in an ambiguity
about their true applicability. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate these novel device
architectures with their circuit suitability and tolerance to random variations. Therefore, this tutorial explores
the possibilities of dual-spacer (symmetric and asymmetric) architecture for the purpose and its impact of
high performance logic circuit/SRAM applications with its tolerance limits to random variations.

Graphene: Step Towards Future Electronics
Dr. Santosh Vishvakarma
Assistant Professor
Nanoscale Devices, VLSI Circuit and System Design
Discipline of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Indore
https://sites.google.com/site/svishvakarma/
Now days, Graphene is being used as a channel material to avoid the problem of mobility. Graphene is a 2-D
atomic layer of carbon atom with unique electronic properties such as high fermi velocity, outstanding carrier
mobility and a high saturation velocity, which makes it suitable for future electronic application. Meanwhile
researchers are really optimistic but less enthusiastic for the use of Graphene in digital circuit design
application. The main hurdle on this way is the band gap property of Graphene. While all other semiconductor
posses a sizable band gap (e.g. Si 1.1eV, Ge .7eV, GaAs= 1.4 eV), natural graphene is a zero band gap
material. The most obvious effect of zero band gap structure is that Graphene based FET with with gapless
channel do not switch off. However there are different approaches to open a gap. First option is to form
graphene nano ribbons (GNR). In GNR band gap is inversely proportional to the width of GNR. So as width
decreases band gap increases but it is very difficult to have a width less than 20nm and it is also affected by
the edge roughness effect. Hence it is very difficult to prepare GNR with small width. Till now gap around
300-400 meV in GNR is obtained with a width of 15nm but a minimum gap of 360- 500 meV is needed for
digital application.
Graphene is also being used as a gate material because of suitable work function tunability. Along with this,
Graphene oxide, bilayer or trilayer graphene are being used as a storage layer in the non- volatile flash
memories. Further, the graphene is very much suitable for RF application because of very high RF performance
parameters. In addition, graphene is also being used as interconnect and offer minimum resistance at
contacts, Due to very high electrical conductivity. With these great potential of Graphene as material,
expected application for future are better touch screen, E paper, foldable OLED etc.

Strain Engineering in CMOS: Opportunities and Challenges
Dr. Naushad Alam
Assistant Professor
Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh-202002
Email: nalam.bp@amu.ac.in
Technology scaling, which has contributed towards the tremendous growth of silicon industry, faces
several process and performance related challenges. Consequently, strain engineering has been used
commensurately with physical scaling to achieve performance gain in modern CMOS processes. The
process induced mechanical strain in the channel improves carrier mobility through band
deformation, band splitting, carrier redistribution, reduced scattering rate and reduced effective
mass etc. Several strain engineering techniques, such as compressive/tensile Etch Stop Liner (c/tESL), embedded Silicon-Germanium (eSiGe) source/drain, embedded Silicon-Carbon (eSiC)
source/drain, Stress Memorization Technique (SMT) etc are integrated into a state-of-the-art CMOS
process flow. However, performance enhancement through strain engineering depends upon the
volume of stressor material surrounding the channel of a device. Therefore, strain enhanced
performance gain depends upon various layout parameters such as source/drain length, poly-pitch,
number of fingers sharing an active region, ESL boundary etc. Apart from the intentional stress
sources, mentioned above, stress originating from Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) also causes a
similar variability. This results into unaccounted change in the device and circuit performance.
Traditionally stress-induced variability is handled by applying performance margins to critical paths
– ironically depleting the performance gains most often needed. Therefore, it is essential to model the
stress induced effects so that an effective and predictable design is made possible. This tutorial
elaborates over this problem and presents a stress aware circuit design methodology.
Dr. Naushad Alam received B. Tech. degree in Electronics & Communication
Engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi in 2003, and M. Tech. Degree in
Electronic Circuits & Systems Design from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh in

Neuromorphic engineering is a concept developed by Carver Mea describing the use of VLSI systems
containing electronic analog circuits to mimic neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system.
Neuromorphic engineering is a new interdisciplinary subject that takes inspiration from biology, physics,
mathematics, computer science and electronic engineering to design artificial neural systems, such as vision
systems, head-eye systems, auditory processors, and autonomous robots, whose physical architecture and
design principles are based on those of biological nervous systems. A key aspect of neuromorphic engineering
is understanding how the morphology of individual neurons, circuits and overall architectures creates
desirable computations, affects how information is represented, influences robustness to damage,
incorporates learning and development, adapts to local change (plasticity), and facilitates evolutionary
change.

Complex digital circuits are now commonly combined with analog circuits as part of the continuing drive
toward higher levels of electronic system integration. For example, complex microprocessors are frequently
combined with high performance analog and mixed‐signal circuits to form so‐called "system‐on‐a‐chip"
devices. An example of this is a single chip modem combining a digital signal processor with precision
analog‐to‐digital and digital‐to‐analog functions on a single silicon die. Such devices offer the semiconductor
customer significant savings in manufacturing costs due to the resulting reduction of chip‐to‐chip
interconnections.

Verification , AMS using mentor graphics tools
Mr. Sumit Patil,
Sr. Application Engineer
Trident Technologies, Pune
Analog and mixed-signal SoC designs combine analog and digital content more tightly than ever before. They
increasingly depend on integrated analog blocks such as A to D and D to A converters, phase-locked loops,
and adaptive filters. This increased level of integration puts tremendous pressure on designers. Traditional
design tool flows force designers to develop analog and digital subsystems in isolation, delaying the
integration of these components until IC layout and the testing until after fabrication. Mentor Graphics
provides world-class analog/mixed-signal (AMS) verification solutions for transistor-level circuitry from the
latest FinFET-based process nodes to traditional analog processes. Questa ADMS extends the familiar Questa
verification platform with analog and mixed-signal standard languages while maintaining a unified simulation
environment. ADMS is language neutral; you can combine VHDL-AMS, Verilog-AMS, VHDL, Verilog,
SystemVerilog, SPICE and SystemC anywhere and at any level in the design.

IOT a current day Tech Trend and its need from Embedded curriculum
Mr Premkumar Vadapalli
Texas Instruments University Program
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics,
software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging
data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely
identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing
Internet infrastructure. Main enabling factor of this promising paradigm is the integration of several
technologies and communications solutions. Unquestionably, the main strength of the IoT idea is the
high impact it will have on several aspects of everyday-life and behavior of potential users.
Mr. Premkumar Vadapalli is a Senior Technical Manager at Texas Instruments
India Ltd. He has an B Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT
Bombay and a MS in Computer Science from Colorado State University. He has
been working with Texas Instruments for over 20 years. During his career at TI he
has spent close to 9 years with the SW Tools team, 9 years in Wireless
Organization working with Mobile customers and 1.5 years with the automotive
team. Currently he is with the TI India University Program team since 2014.

Low power microcontroller and usage in IOT
Mr Rohit Prajapati
Application Engineer
Edgate Technologies Pvt Ltd. Bangalore
Connectivity can add great value to many embedded applications. In industrial systems, for example,
end equipment can communicate with remote sensors, other end equipment, and a centralized
management console to improve reliability and productivity. Extending connectivity beyond the LAN
out to the WAN is often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT) or the Internet of Everything (IoE).
For many applications, attaching devices to the IoT cloud provides additional benefits to the entire
ecosystem – end customers, service providers and equipment OEMs.
TI’s ultra-low power MSP430 MCUs have been designed to serve in wireless-enabled applications
with a variety of system architectures. These microcontrollers allows our customers to innovate and
create designs across a wide range of IoT applications, whether high performance or low-power. TI’s
Performance MCUs consist of microcontrollers designed for closed-loop control IoT applications
requiring real-time performance, connectivity, and safety functionality. The Low-power MCUs, which
integrate a power management system with interrupt handling and SRAM/FRAM for real-time data
capture make these devices extremely powerful at ultra-low power levels to preserve battery life in
IoT applications. TI Performance and Low-Power MCUs have a scalable platform to support
consumer, industrial, and HealthTech IoT applications today.
The MSP430 LaunchPad features on-board emulation, which means you can program and debug
your projects without the need for additional tools. All pins of the MSP430G2 device are fanned out
for easy access. These pins make it easy to plug in 20-pin Booster Packs that add additional
functionality like wireless, capacitive touch and more. Booster Pack plug-in modules can really help
your LaunchPad-based projects soar. These innovative tools plug in to the header pins on the
LaunchPad and allow you to explore different applications that your favorite TI MCU can enable.
Mr Rohit Prajapati did his B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from

There are several real life applications of embedded systems. For example the growing number of electronic
systems being incorporated into trains and subway systems are finding a home on the back end of the
computing scheme, typically controlling specialized functions that reside out of passengers’ view. So, in
talking about the modern-day railway engineering market, it is not only the vehicles themselves that need to
be considered, but the technology that is hidden away as well, ensuring passenger safety as well as railway
efficiency.
Prof. Shrikant Velankar did his maters from V.J.T.I Mumbai and currently he is
research scholar at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. He has 15 years of
industrial and 10 years of teaching experience. He has executed several consultancy
assignments successfully. His area of interest is embedded systems.
