Derkacz, Pawel. "Convertisseur GaN optimisé vis-à-vis de la CEM". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université Grenoble Alpes, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024GRALT067.
Testo completoThe thesis investigates the possibility of EMI mitigation for power electronic converters with GaN transistors in three key areas: control strategy, layout design, and integrated magnetic filter. Based on a Buck converter, the contribution of hard and soft switching to the generated conducted noise (Common Mode (CM) and Differential Mode (DM)) has been investigated. The positive effect of soft switching on EMI reduction in a specific frequency range was demonstrated. The impact of layout design attributes was also observed and the need to optimize it was highlighted. Next, a detailed study of the identification of parasitic elements in a single inverter leg is presented. Specific areas of concern were detailed and considered later in the thesis. The developed simulation workflow in Digital Twin used to study the impact of individual layout elements on EMC is presented. The laboratory test bench used for EMC measurements is also presented, together with a description of the necessary experimental precautions. Furthermore, the two key concepts implemented in the layout - shielding and Power-Chip-on-Chip (PCoC) - are presented. Their effectiveness in reducing EMI by almost 20~dB was confirmed by simulation and experiment. Finally, the Integrated Inductor concept is presented, which can be implemented together with the previous solutions. The effectiveness of a planar Integrated Inductor connected to the middle point of the bridge was demonstrated by simulation studies. The author's method for identifying the impedance of the Integrated Inductor and the key parasitic elements (in terms of EMC) has also been developed and presented in details. In conclusion, the work presents a series of solutions that significantly reduce EMI in GaN-based converters, which have been validated by simulation and experiment and can be applied to all types of power electronic converters
Meyer, Sandra de. "Etude d'une nouvelle filière de composants HEMTs sur technologie nitrure de gallium : Conception d'une architecture flip-chip d'amplificateur distribué de puissance à très large bande". Limoges, 2005. http://aurore.unilim.fr/theses/nxfile/default/c6724388-69b6-4017-a9a5-6408d2282ef8/blobholder:0/2005LIMO0030.pdf.
Testo completoThis work deals with the characterization of GaN HEMTs for RF power applications. In a first step, the properties of wide band-gap materials, and especially the GaN material, are analyzed in order to highlight their capabilities for wide band power amplifiers application. Results on characterization and linear/non-linear electrical and electromagnetic simulations, is exposed and applied to analyze different topologies and mountings of GaN HEMTs. This work is finalized with the design of wide band power amplifiers, showing a distributed architecture of cascode cells using GaN HEMTs and flip-chip mounted onto an AlN substrate. It appears as the first step toward GaN MMIC designs as capacitors and resistors are implemented on the GaN die. One version allows obtaining 10W over a 4 to 18GHz bandwidth, with an associated PAE of 20% at 2dB compression input power
Dubois, Florentine. "Une méthodologie de conception de modèles analytiques de surface et de puissance de réseaux sur puce hautement paramétriques basée sur une méthode d’apprentissage automatique". Thesis, Grenoble, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013GRENM026/document.
Testo completoIn the last decade, Networks-on-chip (NoCs) have emerged as an efficient and flexible interconnect solution to handle the increasing number of processing elements included in Systems-on-chip (SoCs). NoCs are able to handle high-bandwidth and scalability needs under tight performance constraints. However, they are usually characterized by a large number of architectural and implementation parameters, resulting in a vast design space. In these conditions, finding a suitable NoC architecture for specific platform needs is a challenging issue. Moreover, most of main design decisions (e.g. topology, routing scheme, quality of service) are usually made at architectural-level during the first steps of the design flow, but measuring the effects of these decisions on the final implementation at such high level of abstraction is complex. Static analysis (i.e. non-simulation-based methods) has emerged to fulfill this need of reliable performance and cost estimation methods available early in the design flow. As the level of abstraction of static analysis is high, it is unrealistic to expect an accurate estimation of the performance or cost of the chip. Fidelity (i.e. characterization of the main tendencies of a metric) is thus the main objective rather than accuracy. This thesis proposes a modeling methodology to design static cost analysis of NoC components. The proposed method is mainly oriented towards generality. In particular, no assumption is made neither on the number of parameters of the components nor on the dependences of the modeled metric on these parameters. We are then able to address components with millions of configurations possibilities (order of 1e+30 configuration possibilities) and to estimate cost of complex NoCs composed of a large number of these components at architectural-level. It is difficult to model that kind of components with experimental analytical models due to the huge number of configuration possibilities. We thus propose a fully-automated modeling flow which can be applied directly to any architecture and technology. The output of the flow is a NoC component cost predictor able to estimate a metric of interest for any configuration of the design space in few seconds. The flow builds fine-grained analytical models on the basis of gate-level results and a machine-learning method. It is then able to design models with a better fidelity than purely-mathematical methods while preserving their main qualities (i.e. low complexity, early availability). Moreover, it is also able to take into account the effects of the technology on the performance. We propose to use an interpolation method based on Kriging theory. By using Kriging methodology, the number of implementation flow runs required in the modeling process is minimized and the main characteristics of the metrics in space are modeled both globally and locally. The method is applied to model logic area of key NoC components. The inclusion of traffic is then addressed and a NoC router leakage and average dynamic power model is designed on this basis

Testo completoThe aim of this study is to assess the potentialities of HEMTs AlGaN/GaN transistors for RF power applications. The properties of wide band-gap materials and especially the GaN material are analysed in order to highlight their capabilities for applications to wideband power amplifiers. Modeling of passive components is explained and the design guide library on SiC substrate is implemented. Characterization results as well as linear and nonlinear simulations are presented on devices and circuits. The results of this work give concrete expression to the design of wideband power amplifiers showing a distributed architecture of cascode cells using GaN HEMTs, the first one flip-chip mounted onto an AlN substrate and the second one in MMIC technology. One MMIC version allows to obtain 6. 3W over a 4 to 18GHz bandwidth at 2dB compression input power. These results bring to light famous potentialities assigned to HEMTs GaN components
Durand, Camille. "Etude thermomécanique expérimentale et numérique d'un module d'électronique de puissance soumis à des cycles actifs de puissance". Thesis, Valenciennes, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015VALE0007/document.
Testo completoToday a point has been reached where safe operation areas and lifetimes of power modules are limited by the standard packaging technologies, such as wire bonding and soft soldering. As a result, further optimization of used technologies will no longer be sufficient to meet future reliability requirements. To surpass these limits, a new power module was designed using Cu clips as interconnects instead of Al wire bonds. This new design should improve the reliability of the module as it avoids wire bond fatigue failures, often the root cause of device failures. The counterpart for an improved reliability is a quite complicated internal structure. Indeed, the use of a Cu clip implies an additional solder layer in order to fix the clip to the die. The thermo-mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of such a package under application have to be characterized. The present study takes advantage of numerical simulations to precisely analyze the behavior of each material layer under power cycling. Furthermore an experimental and numerical sensitivity study on tests parameters is conducted. Critical regions of the module are pointed out and critical combinations of tests parameters for different failure mechanisms are highlighted. Then a fracture mechanics analysis is performed and the crack growth at different locations is analyzed in function of different tests parameters. Results obtained enable the definition of lifetime prediction models
Souvignet, Thomas. "Contribution to the design of switched-capacitor voltage regulators in 28nm FDSOI CMOS". Thesis, Lyon, INSA, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015ISAL0043/document.
Testo completoMobile and multimedia devices offer more innovations and enhancements to satisfy user requirements. Chip manufacturers thus propose high performances SoC to address these needs. Unfortunately the growth in digital resources inevitably increases the power consumption while battery life-time does not rise as fast. Aggressive power management techniques such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling have been introduced in order to keep competitive and relevant solutions. Nonetheless continuing in this direction involves more disruptive solutions to meet space and cost constraints. Fully integrated power supply is a promising solution. Switched-capacitor DC-DC converters seem to be a suitable candidate to keep compatibility with the manufacturing process of digital SoCs. This thesis focuses on the design of an embedded power supply architecture using switched-capacitor DC-DC converters.Addressing a large range of output power with significant efficiency leads to consider a multi-ratio power stage. With respect to the typical digital SoC, the input voltage is 1.8 V and the converter is specified to deliver an output voltage in the 0.3-1.2 V range. The reference voltage is varying according to typical DVFS requirements. A modular architecture accommodates the digital design flow where the flying capacitors are situated above the digital block to supply and the power switches are located as an external ring. Such an architecture offers high flexibility. Interleaving strategy is considered to mitigate the output voltage ripple. Such a converter admits the switching frequency as a control variable and linear regulation and hysteretic control are analyzed. A prototype has been fabricated in 28nm FDSOI technology by STMicroelectronics. A power density of 310 mW/mm2 is achieved at 72.5% peak efficiency with a silicon area penalty of 11.5% of the digital block area. The successful design methodology has been also applied to the design of a negative SC converter for body-biasing purpose in FDSOI. Simulation results demonstrate a strong interest for low power application

Testo completoPower electronic and particularly conversion systems are becoming a major challenge for the future of energetic and transport systems. Technical and economic constraints related to new applications lead to an increase of module power densities while reducing cost and maintaining a good robustness. Today, solutions seem to emerge from innovative structures associated to wide band-gap semiconductors and three-dimensional integration. These solutions lead to many constraints in electro-thermo-mechanical (ETM) interconnection field. Temperature level rises allowed by wide band-gap semiconductors and attractiveness of double sided cooling provide by the 3D assemblies have significantly increase thermo-mechanical stresses and cause reliability problems. This is why new ETM interconnections are developed to facing those difficulties and enable this technological gap. However, thermal and electrical interconnections characterization tools need to be develop. Works presented in this thesis focuses on the development of tools for new interconnections characterization adapted to 3D package. The difficulty of obtaining the temperature of the component within the package has led us to explore two ways to estimate the junction temperature (TJ). In a first hand we integrate temperature and voltage sensors inside a power component in a clean room process thanks to the achievement of a specific thermal test chip (TTC). And in a second hand, by observing the temperature response of functional components, using a temperature-sensitive electrical parameter (TSEP). The both paths explored take advantage of innovative specific solutions to allow precise thermal and electrical characterization of power electronic assemblies
Riva, Raphaël. "Solution d'interconnexions pour la haute température". Thesis, Lyon, INSA, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014ISAL0064/document.
Testo completoSilicon has reached its usage limit in many areas such as aeronautics. One of the challenges is the design of power components operable in high temperature and/or high voltage. The use of wide bandgap materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) provides in part a solution to meet these requirements. The packaging must be adapted to these new types of components and new operating environnement. However, it appears that the planar integration (2D), consisting of wire-bonding and soldered components-attach, can not meet these expectations. This thesis aims to develop a three dimensional power module for the high temperature aeronautics applications. A new original 3D structure made of two silicon carbide dies, silver-sintered die-attaches and an encapsulation by parylene HT has been developed. Its various constituting elements, the reason for their choice, and the pratical realization of the structure are presented in this manuscript. Then, we focus on a failure mode specific to silver-sintered attaches : The silver migration. An experimental study allows to define the triggering conditions of this failure. It is extended and analyzed by numerical simulations

Testo completoIn the field of power hybrid integration, it is well known that wiring operation of power semiconductor devices is a source of strong parasitic electrical interactions between interconnections parasitic inductances, parasitic capacitances with respect to the ground plane, the power semiconductor devices themselves and the electronic control circuit. These interactions are a source of EMI on one hand and a factor limiting the performance and reducing the reliability of the power function on the other hand. Monolithic power integration is obviously the only approach to overcome some drawbacks of the hybrid integration. In this context, this thesis work studies the feasibility of a monolithic integration approach called "dual-chip". This power integration approach deals with the integration of the generic power converter circuit (AC/DC or DC/AC for low and medium power applications) in two complementary multi-switch power chips: A common anode/back-side multi-switch chip, and a common cathode/front-side multi-switch chip. The study includes: modeling by 2D physical/electrical simulations of the proposed structures, validation of their operating modes, realization of the chips in the micro and nanotechnology platform of the LAAS, electrical characterization of the chips and finally a study of 2D and 3D association techniques of the realized chips on SMI/DBC substrate. The scientific perspectives of this work are based on a promising integration approach called "single-chip". The resulting single-chip corresponds to the fusion of the two power chips used in the first approach and takes advantage of the conclusions made from their association techniques study

Testo completoFor three decades, the market trend answers the current demand of miniaturization and performance increase of the multimedia devices. Yet, any reduction of the dimensions of a given factor imposes a decrease of the tensions (for reasons of reliability). To answer this question, the downsizing of CMOS integrated circuits reaches submicron scales of integration resulting in a significant decrease in the reliability of components and in particular transistors. The hot carriers creations, as well as heat dissipation within the submicron circuits, are the two main physical phenomena behind the reliability decline. The technical solution to maintain a good degree of reliability, while reducing component size, is to reduce the supply voltage of circuits. In parallel to performance constraints, environmental standards require consumption as small as possible. The challenge is then to build circuits combining low power supply (voltage and current) where the concept of circuits "Low Power". These circuits are used for some already in the field of multimedia, medical, integration with various constraints (possibility of external components, stability, etc..). The speed increase performance of digital circuits also requires the use of technologies that generate leaks increasingly important that are inconsistent with consumption reduction in standby modes without the introduction of new techniques

Testo completoThis report deals with the design of a controller for SmartMedia™ flash memory cards, based on a hardware description found in the SmartMedia™ Interface Library - SMIL.
The design was made on logic gate level, using standard cells in OrCAD Capture. After simulation of the design in PSpice A/D, it was exported as an EDIF netlist, which was used to make a chip layout in L-Edit, a layout tool for making integrated circuits. The layout was made using a method called Standard Place and Route - SPR, where the layout tool places standard cells from a library and connects them according to the EDIF netlist.
A netlist which could be simulated in PSpice was extracted from the finished chip layout to verify that the function of the design was the same as before the transition from schematic to layout.
The standard cells in the library used to make the chip layout have to meet certain criteria in order for both SPR and extraction to work and this is also discussed.

Testo completoSignal-integrity degradation from such factors as supply and substrate noise and cross talk between interconnects restricts the performance advances in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). To avoid this and to keep the signal-integrity, accurate measurements of the on-chip signal must be performed to get an insight in how the physical phenomenon affects the signals.
High-speed digital signals can be taken off chip, through buffers that add delay. Propagating a signal through buffers restores the signal, which can be good if only information is wanted. But if the waveform is of importance, or if an analog signal should be measured the restoration is unwanted. Analog buffers can be used but they are limited to some hundred MHz. Even if the high-speed signal is taken off chip, the bandwidth of on-chip signals is getting very high, making the use of an external oscilloscope impossible for reliable measurement. Therefore other alternatives must be used.
In this work, an on-chip measuring circuit is designed, which makes use of the principle of a sampling oscilloscope. Only one sample is taken each period, resulting in an output frequency much lower than the input frequency. A slower signal is easier to take off-chip and it can easily be processed with an ordinary oscilloscope.

Testo completoThis thesis presents the modeling, design, fabrication, and testing of a magnetophoretic bioseparation chip for isolation of biomaterials such as cells, antigens or DNA from their native environment. This microfluidic-based bioseparation device has several unique features, including locally engineered magnetic field gradients and a continuous flow with a buffer switching scheme to improve the performance of the separation process. The overall dimensions of the device are 25 mm by 75 mm by 1 mm. The cell purity was found to increase with increasing the sample flow rate. However, the cell recovery decreases with an increase in the flow rate. A compressive parametric study is performed to investigate the effects of channel height, substrate thickness, magnetic bead size, cell size, flow rate, and the number of beads per cell on the cell separation performance.

This thesis investigates an extension of the classical chip-firing process to "other Cartan-Killing types." In Chapter 1 we review the classical chip-firing game: the states of this process are configurations of chips on the vertices of a graph; the transition moves are firings whereby a vertex with at least as many chips as neighbors may send one chip to each neighbor. A fundamental property of chip-firing is that it is confluent: from any initial configuration, all sequences of firings lead to the same terminal configuration. In Chapter 2 we discuss Propp's labeled chip-firing process on the infinite path, for which confluence becomes a subtler question. We prove that labeled chip-firing is confluent starting from an even number of chips at the origin (but not from an odd number). In Chapter 3 we reinterpret labeled chip-firing as a process on the weight lattice of a root system, where the firing moves consist of adding a positive root whenever the weight we are at is orthogonal to that root. We call this the central-firing process. We give conjectures about certain initial weights from which central-firing is confluent. We also prove that central-firing is always confluent from all initial weights if we mod out by the action of the Weyl group, thereby giving a generalization of unlabeled chip firing on the infinite path to other types. In Chapter 4 we introduce some remarkable deformations of the central-firing process which we call the symmetric and truncated interval-firing processes. These are analogous to the Catalan and Shi hyperplane arrangements. We prove that these interval-firing processes are always confluent from all initial weights. In Chapter 5 we study the set of weights with given interval-firing stabilization. We show that the number of weights with given stabilization is a polynomial in our deformation parameter. We call these polynomials the symmetric and truncated Ehrhart-like polynomials, because they are analogous to the Ehrhart polynomial of a polytope. We conjecture that the Ehrhart-like polynomials have nonnegative integer coefficients. In Chapter 6 we prove "half" of this positivity conjecture by providing an explicit, positive formula for the symmetric Ehrhart-like polynomials.

As the VLSI process is scaled down, a single IC possibly contains an entire system (system-on- chip (SOC)). As the device size scaled down, Gate delay is reduced. The interconnection width is so narrow that the delay of the interconnection becomes larger. Therefore, the interconnect delay dominants the global chip delay in very deep sub-micron era. Various methods of reducing the interconnect delay have been investigated. One of them is to use the material of the interconnection copper and lower dielectric constant to reduce the resistance and capacitance. The others are to use special receivers for the reduction of long interconnection RC delay. In this thesis, we propose several new circuits. 1. Drain-Switch-Current-Source (DSCS) 2. Self-Bias-Current-Source (SBCS) 3. Gate-Switch-Current-Source (GSCS) 4. Diode-Connected-Current-Source (DCCS) 5. Switch-Bias-Current-Source (SWBCSN) 6. Switch-Bias-Current-Source (SWBCSP) 7. Gate-Switch with Terminator-Resistor (GSTRN) 8.
