Title
Neu-MOS (νMOS) for smart sensors and extension to a novel neu-GaAs (νGaAs) paradigm
Abstract
The neu-MOS (νMOS) transistor is a new device that enables the design of conventional digital and analog circuits, in standard CMOS, with a factor of 5-10 decrease in gate count. Furthermore, νMOS circuit characteristics are insensitive to transistor parameter variations but instead rely on coupling capacitor ratios. In this paper, we demonstrate this principle with results from fabricated controlled gain amplifiers. This new technology is ideal for smart sensors where a high functionality per pixel area and good matching between pixels is required. Moreover, we discuss the advantages of smart sensors in GaAs technology and the viability of developing a νGaAs paradigm
