Open-source design of integrated circuits.

open access: yesElektrotech. Informationstechnik, 2023
This paper presents the design of a self-clocked 12-bit non-binary fully differential SAR-ADC using the SKY130 open-source PDK. The entire mixed-signal circuit design and layout were created with free and open-source software. The ADC reaches a sample rate of up to 1.44 MS/s at 1.8 V supply while consuming 703 μμW of power on a small 0.175 mm2 area.

Electrical and 850 nm Optical Characterization of Back-Gate Controlled 22 nm FDSOI PIN-Diodes Without Front-Gate

open access: yesIEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society
We present electrical and optical $(\lambda =\rm {850~nm })$ measurement results of back-gate controlled SOI PIN-diodes without a front-gate, with an intrinsic Si film thickness of only ${\sim }\rm 6nm $ .

A Closer Look at the Chaotic Ring Oscillators based TRNG Design

open access: yesTransactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, 2023
TRNG is an essential component for security applications. A vulnerable TRNG could be exploited to facilitate potential attacks or be related to a reduced key space, and eventually results in a compromised cryptographic system. A digital FIRO-/GARO-based

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Si and SiGe Nanowire for Micro-Thermoelectric Generator: A Review of the Current State of the Art

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2021
In our environment, the large availability of wasted heat has motivated the search for methods to harvest heat. As a reliable way to supply energy, SiGe has been used for thermoelectric generators (TEGs) in space missions for decades.
