TL;DR: Grain sizes and crystallographic orientations of Cu were analyzed versus linewidth in damascene Cu interconnects as discussed by the authors, and the results showed that even with a polycrystalline crystallographic orientation, PVD-Cu samples showed a better activation energy value E a = 1.02 eV.

03 Oct 2005TL;DR: In this paper, an accelerometer sensor detects a vertical acceleration generated during a step and adapts the first reference threshold as a function of an envelope of the amplitude of the acceleration signal.
Abstract: In a pedometer device for detecting and counting steps of a user on foot, an accelerometer sensor detects a vertical acceleration generated during the step. A processing unit, connected to the accelerometer sensor, processes an acceleration signal relating to the acceleration in order to detect the occurrence of a step, and in particular compares the acceleration signal with a first reference threshold. The processing unit automatically adapts the first reference threshold as a function of the acceleration signal. In particular, the processing unit modifies the first reference threshold as a function of an envelope of the amplitude of the acceleration signal.

01 Mar 1997TL;DR: This paper discusses design technology issues for embedded systems using processor cores, with a focus on software compilation tools, and conducts a comprehensive survey of both existing and new software compilation techniques that are considered important in the context of embedded processors.
Abstract: The increasing use of embedded software, often implemented on a core processor in a single-chip system, is a clear trend in the telecommunications, multimedia, and consumer electronics industries. A companion paper (Paulin et al., 1997) presents a survey of application and architecture trends for embedded systems in these growth markets. However, the lack of suitable design technology remains a significant obstacle in the development of such systems. One of the key requirements is more efficient software compilation technology. Especially in the case of fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) cores, it is often cited that commercially available compilers are unable to take full advantage of the architectural features of the processor. Moreover, due to the shorter lifetimes and the architectural specialization of many processor cores, processor designers are often compelled to neglect the issue of compiler support. This situation has resulted in an increased research activity in the area of design tool support for embedded processors. This paper discusses design technology issues for embedded systems using processor cores, with a focus on software compilation tools. Architectural characteristics of contemporary processor cores are reviewed and tool requirements are formulated. This is followed by a comprehensive survey of both existing and new software compilation techniques that are considered important in the context of embedded processors.

06 Nov 2009TL;DR: In this article, a double-polysilicon FSA-SEG SiGe:C HBT with a record peak f MAX of 423 GHz (f T = 273 GHz) is demonstrated.
Abstract: This paper summarizes the work carried out to improve performances of a conventional double-polysilicon FSA-SEG SiGe:C HBT towards 400 GHz f MAX . The technological optimization strategy is discussed and electrical characteristics are presented. A record peak f MAX of 423 GHz (f T = 273 GHz) is demonstrated in SiGe:C HBT technology.
