Sensor Applications

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology is one of the leading fabrication technologies of the semiconductor integrated-circuit industry. We have discovered features inherent in the standard CMOS fabrication process that lend themselves to the manufacturing of micromechanical structures for sensor applications. In this paper we present an unconventional layout design methodology that allows us to exploit the standard CMOS process for producing microbridges. Two types of microbridges, bare polysilicon microbridges and sandwiched oxide microbridges, have been manufactured by first implementing a special layout design in an industrial digital CMOS process, followed by a postprocessing etching step.

Abstract Known as complementary symmetrical metal oxide semiconductor (cos-mos), complementary metal oxide semiconductor is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) manufacturing process, which uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs to realize logic functions. CMOS technology is used to build integrated circuit (IC) chips, including microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory chips (including CMOS BIOS) and other digital logic circuits. CMOS technology is also used in analog circuits, such as image sensors (CMOS sensors), data converters, RF circuits (RF CMOS), and highly integrated transceivers for various types of communications. Based on multisim 14.0 and cadence, the characteristics and performance of CMOS inverter are studied by simulation.

This paper proposes the simulated and experimental results of a universal filter using the voltage differencing differential difference amplifier (VDDDA). Unlike the previous complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structures of VDDDA that is present in the literature, the present one is compact and simple, owing to the employment of the multiple-input metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor technique. The presented filter employs two VDDDAs, one resistor and two grounded capacitors, and it offers low-pass: LP, band-pass: BP, band-reject: BR, high-pass: HP and all-pass: AP responses with a unity passband voltage gain. The proposed universal voltage mode filter has high input impedances and low output impedance. The natural frequency and bandwidth are orthogonally controlled by using separated transconductance without affecting the passband voltage gain. For a BP filter, the root mean square (RMS) of the equivalent output noise is 46 µV, and the third intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is −49.5 dB for an input signal with a peak-to peak of 600 mV, which results in a dynamic range (DR) of 73.2 dB. The filter was designed and simulated in the Cadence environment using a 0.18-µm CMOS process from Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC). In addition, the experimental results were obtained by using the available commercial components LM13700 and AD830. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental one that confirmed the advantages of the filter.

Micromachined gyroscopes require high voltage (HV) for actuation and detection to improve its precision, but the deviation of the HV caused by temperature fluctuations will degrade the sensor’s performance. In this paper, a high-voltage temperature-insensitive charge pump is proposed. Without adopting BCD (bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) technology, the output voltage can be boosted over the breakdown voltage of n-well/substrate diode using triple-well NMOS (n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistors. By controlling the pumping clock’s amplitude continuously, closed-loop regulation is realized to reduce the output voltage’s sensitivity to temperature changes. Besides, the output level is programmable linearly in a large range by changing the reference voltage. The whole circuit has been fabricated in a 0.18- μ m standard CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process with a total area of 2.53 mm 2 . Measurements indicate that its output voltage has a linear adjustable range from around 13 V to 16.95 V, and temperature tests show that the maximum variations of the output voltage at − 40 ∼ 80 ∘ C are less than 1.1%.

The fabrication and characterization of a magnetic micro sensor (MMS) with two magnetic field effect transistors (MAGFETs) based on the commercial complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process are investigated. The magnetic micro sensor is a three-axis sensing type. The structure of the magnetic microsensor is composed of an x/y-MAGFET and a z-MAGFET. The x/y-MAGFET is employed to sense the magnetic field (MF) in the x- and y-axis, and the z-MAGFET is used to detect the MF in the z-axis. To increase the sensitivity of the magnetic microsensor, gates are introduced into the two MAGFETs. The sensing current of the MAGFET enhances when a bias voltage is applied to the gates. The finite element method software Sentaurus TCAD was used to analyze the MMS’s performance. Experiments show that the MMS has a sensitivity of 182 mV/T in the x-axis MF and a sensitivity of 180 mV/T in the y-axis MF. The sensitivity of the MMS is 27.8 mV/T in the z-axis MF.
