TL;DR: The feasibility of applying deep learning techniques to solve 2D Poisson's equation is investigated, with a significant reduction in CPU time compared with the traditional solver based on finite difference methods.
Abstract: In this work, we investigated the feasibility of applying deep learning techniques to solve 2D Poisson's equation. A deep convolutional neural network is set up to predict the distribution of electric potential in 2D. With training data generated from a finite difference solver, the strong approximation capability of the deep convolutional neural network allows it to make correct prediction given information of the source and distribution of permittivity. Numerical experiments show that the predication error can reach below one percent, with a significant reduction in CPU time compared with the traditional solver based on finite difference methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, three high-gain on-chip antennas are proposed using three different silicon-based technologies in the millimeter-wave/THz frequency range in order to achieve high efficiency and wideband application.
Abstract: In this paper, three high-gain on-chip antennas are proposed using three different silicon-based technologies in the millimeter-wave/THz frequency range. A modified Vivaldi antenna is first implemented using the micro-fabricated floating process. In the proposed process, the top metal layer is supported by metal vias, separating it from the silicon substrate for low-loss application. The antenna gain of 5.5 dBi is obtained with 78% radiation efficiency. A monopole antenna is subsequently designed using the silicon-benzocyclobutene (Si-BCB) process, with micro-machined backed cavity for high efficiency and wideband application. The simulated gain of this antenna is 6 dBi with 88% radiation efficiency. Our third proposed on-chip antenna is fabricated using commercial 0.18-Hm CMOS technology. The antenna gain and efficiency are improved by the dielectric resonator on the surface of the antenna. The measured gain is 2.7 dBi with radiation efficiency of 43% The three proposed antennas with different silicon compatible processes are therefore suitable for application in the millimeter-wave/THz integrated circuits.

TL;DR: This paper presents the first work on routing with these multi-functional interconnects in 3D: signal, thermal, and power distribution networks and demonstrates how to consider various physical, electrical, and thermo-mechanical requirements to successfully complete routing while addressing various reliability concerns.
Abstract: Heat removal and power delivery are two major reliability concerns in the 3D stacked IC technology. Liquid cooling based on micro-fluidic channels is proposed as a viable solution to dramatically reduce the operating temperature of 3D ICs. In addition, designers use a highly complex hierarchical power distribution network in conjunction with decoupling capacitors to deliver currents. However, these thermal and power/ground interconnects together with those used for signal delivery compete with each other for routing resources including various types of Through-Silicon-Vias (TSVs). This paper presents the first work on routing with these multi-functional interconnects in 3D: signal, thermal, and power distribution networks. We demonstrate how to consider various physical, electrical, and thermo-mechanical requirements of these multi-functional interconnects to successfully complete routing while addressing various reliability concerns.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid-integrated dual-band filter was proposed for WLAN application, where the lower passband was implemented by a pair of stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) and the higher passband is provided by two substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavities.
Abstract: A new hybrid-integrated dual-band filter is proposed for WLAN application, where the lower passband is implemented by a pair of stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) and the higher passband is provided by two substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavities. In our design, the SIRs are embedded into the SIWs to reduce the size. The relationship between the parasitic resonances of SIW structure and the locations of its transmission zeros is studied. Its good performances have been demonstrated by the simulated and measured S-parameters.

TL;DR: Not only HBM interposer can be applied to achieve high bandwidth with a less signal distortion but also it can be designed on the basis of a limited routing area.
Abstract: As total system bandwidth increased, memory industry has been imposed to satisfy its requirements. At last, innovative next generation memory named high bandwidth memory (HBM) with extremely fine micro-bump pitch of its bottom die is introduced for terabytes/s bandwidth graphics module. To establish HBM based graphics module, it becomes essential to fabricate silicon interposer due to its capability to process narrow signal width and space. Silicon based HBM interposer becomes the key solution to mitigate bandwidth bottleneck of graphics module for high computing system. To design HBM interposer successfully, the signal optimization of HBM interposer channels must be preceded thoroughly. In this paper, design optimization of top metal signals of HBM interposer considering routing feasibility is proposed. In order to analyze channel performance to determine optimal line width and space, frequency domain and time domain simulation are conducted respectively. All the proposed signals in HBM interposer are analyzed by comparing eye-opening voltage and timing jitter with 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation results. Based on this proposed optimization design, not only HBM interposer can be applied to achieve high bandwidth with a less signal distortion but also it can be designed on the basis of a limited routing area.
