van der Waals Semiconductor Empowered Vertical Color Sensor


Abstract "Biomimetic artificial vision is receiving significant attention nowadays, particularly for the development of neuromorphic electronic devices, artificial intelligence, and microrobotics. Nevertheless, color recognition, the most critical vision function, is missed in the current research due to the difficulty of downscaling of the prevailing color sensing devices. Conventional colo... » read more

FLODAM: Cross-Layer Reliability Analysis Flow for Complex Hardware Designs


Abstract "Modern technologies make hardware designs more and more sensitive to radiation particles and related faults. As a result, analysing the behavior of a system under radiation-induced faults has become an essential part of the system design process. Existing approaches either focus on analysing the radiation impact at the lower hardware design layers, without further propagating any rad... » read more

Memory Bandwidth Regulation on Hybrid NVM/DRAM Platforms


New technical paper from Shanghai Jiao Tong University Abstract "Non-volatile memory (NVM) has emerged as a new memory media, resulting in a hybrid NVM/DRAM configuration in typical servers. Memory-intensive applications competing for the scant memory bandwidth can yield degraded performance. Identifying the noisy neighbors and regulating the memory bandwidth usage of them can alleviate th... » read more

A Novel Power-Saving Reversing Camera System with Artificial Intelligence Object Detection


Abstract "According to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the driving collision rate of using only the reversing camera system is lower than that of using both the reversing camera system and the reversing radar. In this article, we implemented a reversing camera system with artificial intelligence object detection to increase the information of the reversing image... » read more

Tile-based massively scalable MIMO and phased arrays for 5G/B5G-enabled smart skins and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces


New technical paper from Georgia Tech. Abstract "This work presents a novel tile based approach to constructing, in a modular fashion, massively scalable MIMO and phased arrays for 5G/B5G millimeter-wave smart skins and large-area reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for Smart Cities and IoT applications. A proof-of-concept 29 GHz 32 elements phased array utilizing 2×2 “8-element subarr... » read more

Real-time instruction-level verification of remote IoT/CPS devices via side channels


Abstract "In recent years, with the rise of IoT technology, wireless Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have become widely deployed in critical infrastructure, including power generation, military systems, and autonomous and unmanned vehicles. The introduction of network connectivity for data transfer, cloud support, etc., into CPS, can lead to malware injection. Meanwhile, outsourcing of advanced t... » read more

Reusing Verification Assertions as Security Checkers for Hardware Trojan Detection


Abstract "Globalization in the semiconductor industry enables fabless design houses to reduce their costs, save time, and make use of newer technologies. However, the offshoring of Integrated Circuit (IC) fabrication has negative sides, including threats such as Hardware Trojans (HTs) - a type of malicious logic that is not trivial to detect. One aspect of IC design that is not affected by g... » read more

Neuromorphic photonic circuit modeling in Verilog-A


Abstract "One of the significant challenges in neuromorphic photonic architectures is the lack of good tools to simulate large-scale photonic integrated circuits. It is crucial to perform simulations on a single platform to capture the circuit’s behavior in the presence of both optical and electrical components. Here, we adopted a Verilog-A based approach to model neuromorphic photonic cir... » read more

Selective etching of silicon nitride over silicon oxide using ClF3 /H2 remote plasma


Researchers from Sungkyunkwan University, MIT and others present an option for selective etching. Abstract "Precise and selective removal of silicon nitride (SiNx) over silicon oxide (SiOy) in a oxide/nitride stack is crucial for a current three dimensional NOT-AND type flash memory fabrication process. In this study, fast and selective isotropic etching of SiNx over SiOy has been investiga... » read more

A Novel ISO 26262-Compliant Test Bench to Assess the Diagnostic Coverage of Software Hardening Techniques against Digital Components Random Hardware Failures


Abstract "This paper describes a novel approach to assess detection mechanisms and their diagnostic coverage, implemented using embedded software, designed to identify random hardware failures affecting digital components. In the literature, many proposals adopting fault injection methods are available, with most of them focusing on transient faults and not considering the functional safety st... » read more
