Electromechanical system-in-package carbon nanotube VCO

Kauth C., Pastre M., Kayal M.

International Journal of Microelectronics and Computer Science

2013

Vol. 4, nr 4

153--158

Encapsulated tunable electromechanical oscillators are a milestone on the road to smart dust sensor nodes. To foster the advent of ultrahigh system sensitivity thanks to novel technologies, a computationally light analytical and semi-empirical model for carbon nanotube resonator dynamics, electromechanical and piezoresistive properties is presented. This model is the breeding ground for the subsequent design and integration of a phase locked loop and feedback circuitry, which form an adaptive closed-loop oscillator for actuation, detection and sustainment of the nanotube’s motion. Closed-loop operation and tube stretching make the system Widely universal and invariant to spreads in nanotube characteristics.

Low-noise Wideband Circuit for Closed-loop RF CNT-NEMS Sensors

Vol. 3, nr 2

Hybrid NEMS interfaces are the key to systems combining the benefits of highly sensitive miniaturized mechanical sensors with the vast functionalities available in electronics. In this context, a phase-locked loop, locking on a suspended resonating carbon nanotube NEMS, is implemented and characterized, able to start, track, amplify and sustain NEMS oscillation up to 100MHz in a sensing environment. Detection of the signals out of the NEMS has been found most challenging and diverse RF front-ends meant for interfacing high-impedance carbon nanotube based NEMS are analyzed. Given the feeble signals from the NEMS, their high output impedance and non-negligible interconnect parasitics, front-end design must imperatively focus on minimal noise figure. Limits on minimal detectable signal are extracted via design, simulation and characterization of a 3-stage common-emitter front-end.
