▼ Toiminnanharjoittajan velvollisuuksiin kuuluu potilaan säteilyaltistuksen seuranta. Säteilyaltistuksen seurannassa käytetään STUKin antamia vertailutasoja. Tämän opinnäytetyön tavoite oli antaa tietoa röntgenyksikköön lannerangan röntgentutkimuksen kuvausetäisyyden muutoksen vaikutuksesta potilaiden saamiin säteilyannoksiin optimoinnin tueksi. Opinnäytetyön tarkoitus oli kuvailla potilaiden saamia säteilyannoksia lannerangan röntgentutkimuksessa, kun kuvausetäisyys oli 110 cm ja 150 cm. Tarkoituksena oli selvittää toteutuvatko lannerangan röntgentutkimukselle asetetut vertailutasot. Opinnäytetyö toteutettiin kvantitatiivisena tutkimuksena. Tutkimuksessa oli kaksikymmentä normaalikokoista (70 kg ± 15 kg) potilasta. Kymmenen potilaan kuvausetäisyytenä oli 110 cm ja kymmenen potilaan 150 cm. Lannerangan röntgentutkimus suoritettiin seisten, potilailta kuvattiin anteroposteriorinen ja lateraalinen projektio. Molemmilla käytetyillä kuvausetäisyyksillä Säteilyturvakeskuksen ennen 1.7.2014 antamat vertailutasot alittuivat. Keskimääräinen pinta-annos oli lannerangan röntgentutkimuksessa 150 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä AP-projektiossa 45 % ja LAT-projektiossa 58 % pienempi kuin 110 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä. Keskimääräinen annoksen ja pinta-alan tulo (AP+LAT) oli 150 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä 42 % pienempi kuin 110 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä. Keskimääräinen luuytimen säteilyannos oli 150 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä AP-projektiossa 25 % ja LAT-projektiossa 44 % pienempi kuin 110 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä. Keskimääräinen virtsarakon säteilyannos oli 150 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä AP-projektiossa 39 % ja LAT-projektiossa 19 % pienempi kuin 110 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä. Sukurauhasten saama keskimääräinen säteilyannos oli molemmissa projektioissa suurempi käytettäessä 150 cm kuvausetäisyyttä. Keskimääräinen efektiivinen annos oli 150 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä AP-projektiossa 38 % ja LAT-projektiossa 45 % pienempi kuin kuvattaessa 110 cm:n kuvausetäisyydellä. Radiologinen laitetekniikka oli Euroopan Unionin suositusten mukainen kaikilta muilta osin paitsi hilasuhteen ja lamellitiheyden sekä AP-projektiossa kuvareseptorin herkkyyden osalta. Tulosten perusteella kuvausetäisyys vaikuttaa potilaan saamaan säteilyannokseen niin, että käytettäessä pidempää kuvausetäisyyttä potilaiden saamat säteilyannokset ja elinkohtaiset annokset olivat pienemmät. Tulosten perusteella näyttäisi siltä, että röntgenyksikön kannattaisi jatkaa seisten tehtävässä lannerangan röntgentutkimuksessa 150 cm:n etäisyyden käyttöä. Jatkotutkimusehdotuksena opinnäytetyön tekijä ehdottaa tutkimusta, kuinka kuvausetäisyyden muutos pidemmäksi vaikuttaa röntgenkuvan laatuun.; The purpose of this study was to measure the radiation doses received by patients in lumbar spine x-ray examinations when focus-film distances were 110 cm or 150 cm. The study examined the dose levels in lumbar spine X-ray examinations with relation to the reference dose levels. The study examined patient’s received entrance surface doses (ESD), dose area products (DAP), effective doses and equivalent…

▼ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a well-known contributor that reduces the reliability and yield of the integrated circuits (ICs). As ICs become more complex, they are increasingly susceptible to such failures due to the scaling of physical dimensions of devices and interconnect on a chip [1]. These failures are caused by excessive electric field and/or excessive current densities and result in the dielectric breakdown, electromigration of metal lines and contacts. ESD can affect the IC in its different life stages, from wafer fabrication process to failure in the field. Furthermore, ESD events can damage the integrated circuit permanently (hard failure), or cause a latent damage (soft failure) [2]. ESD protection circuits consisting of I/O protection and ESD power supply clamps are routinely used in ICs to protect them against ESD damage. The main objective of the ESD protection circuit is to provide a low-resistive discharge path between any two pins of the chip to harmlessly discharge ESD energy without damaging the sensitive circuits. The main target of this thesis is to design ESD power supply clamps that have the lowest possible leakage current without degrading the ESD protection ability in general purpose TSMC 65 nm CMOS technology. ESD clamps should have a very low-leakage current and should be stable and immune to the power supply noise under the normal operating conditions of the circuit core. Also, the ESD clamps must be able to handle high currents under an ESD event. All designs published in the general purpose 65 nm CMOS technology have used the SCR as the clamping element since the SCR has a higher current carrying capability compared to an MOS transistor of the same area [3]. The ESD power supply clamp should provide a low-resistive path in both directions to be able to deal with both PSD and NDS zapping modes. The SCR based design does not provide the best ESD protection for the NDS zapping mode (positive ESD stress at VSS with grounded VDD node) since it has two parasitic resistances (RNwell and RPsub) and one parasitic diode (the collector to base junction diode of the PNP transistor) in the path from the VSS to VDD. Furthermore, SCR-based designs are not suitable for application that exposed to hot switching or ionizing radiation [2]. In GP process, the gate oxide thickness of core transistors is reduced compared with LP process counterpart to achieve higher performance designs for high-frequency applications using 1 V core transistors and 2.5 V I/O option. The thinner gate oxide layer results in higher leakage current due to gate tunneling [4]. Therefore, using large thin oxide MOS transistors as clamping elements will result in a huge leakage. In this thesis, four power supply ESD clamps are proposed in which thick oxide MOS transistors are used as the main clamping element. Therefore, the low-leakage current feature is achieved without significantly degrading the ESD performance. In addition, the parasitic diode of the MOS transistors provides the protection against NSD-mode. In this…

▼ One of the most pervasive reliability problems of the IC (integrated circuits) industry is the ESD (electrostatic discharging) induced. It causes up to 35% of total IC field failures and billions of dollars are lost annually. Therefore, on-chip ESD protection structures are commonly used to protect IC parts from being damaged by ESD stresses. And ESD protection design becomes one of the most challenging IC design problems.The popular ESD protection structures may or may not be suitable for ESD protection at sub-32nm. ESD-protected I/O dummy monitor circuits can be used to evaluate ESD protection capability and suitability for general ICs. Various simple diode ESD protection structures is studied by mixed-mode ESD simulation and conducted comprehensive TLP (transmission line pulse) characterization for both individual ESD diodes and ESD-protected monitor circuit blocks. Stand-alone SCR and DTSCR are also studied to utilize the large current handling ability of SCR. TCAD simulation is discussed to provide design predictions. The goal is to provide practical design guidelines for robust ESD protection circuit design at 28nm node and beyond.Compared to Si based ESD structures, 2D material graphene have unique electronic properties, it has been a rapidly rising star since it was found experimentally at 2004. Experimental results from transport measurements show that graphene has remarkably high electron mobility at room temperature. The structure of an electromechanical switch using graphene films is demonstrated. The graphene film is pulled into electrical contact with the bottom silicon by application of voltage bias between the layers. Contact is broken by mechanical restoring forces after bias is removed. The device switches several times without tearing. TLP testing confirmed that graphene is an attractive material for electromechanical switches which can be used as novel ESD protection structure.Technology innovation is the key to IC design advances. However, conventional spiral inductors which have large size, poor Q-factor do not benefit from CMOS scaling. Novel IC inductors with vertical nano-particle magnetic cores could increase the L-density and thus reduce the area of the RF system-on-a-chip (SoC). A prototype LC-VCO using such a new magnetic-cored inductor is designed in an 180nm SOI CMOS.

Les événements transitoires de forte puissance (EFT - Electrical Fast Transient) sont l'une des préoccupations des concepteurs de systèmes embarqués. Ils peuvent conduire au dysfonctionnement du système et sont à l'origine d'un grand nombre de défaillances matérielles et fonctionnelles. Notre étude est principalement portée sur l'impact des décharges électrostatique (ESD - Electro Static Discharge) sur l'électronique embarquée dans un véhicule. D'après une étude de Renault, un véhicule peut subir deux décharges par jour durant sa vie. Les ingénieurs systèmes ne disposent pas de moyen pour prédire l'impact de ces décharges dans les systèmes, et les solutions actuelles sont essentiellement basées sur l'expérience. Afin de prédire le chemin d'un ESD dans tout le système électronique et la stratégie de protection à adopter pour protéger les composants les plus sensibles, des recherches dans le monde entier sont en cours. Les travaux de recherche du groupe ESE du LAAS-CNRS ont mené à des méthodologies de modélisation de composant passif, de circuit intégré et de carte électronique en VHDL-AMS. Les circuits intégrés sont dotés d'un réseau de protection ESD interne qui permet de détourner le stress des zones critiques. La méthodologie développée au cours des précédentes années permet de modéliser le comportement de ce réseau de protection. Cependant, ces modèles sont rudimentaires, ils décrivent uniquement le niveau de déclenchement de la protection et son impédance quasi-statique en fonction du niveau de stress ESD. Aucune information sur le comportement transitoire de la protection n'est décrite dans le modèle. Il est donc difficile de prévoir certaines défaillances liées aux phénomènes transitoires de déclenchement des protections faisant apparaitre de très fortes surtensions ou des niveaux de courant mal évalués. Les différents aspects abordés durant cette thèse permettent de résoudre ces problèmes en proposant des modèles dynamiques, et différentes méthodes pour pouvoir extraire les paramètres des modèles.[...]

Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) are one of the concerns of embedded system engineers. They can lead to system malfunction. EFT are the cause of a large number of hardware and software failures. Our study is mainly focused on the impact of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) on embedded electronic systems, focusing on car's applications. According to a Renault's study, a car can suffer two discharges per day during its entire life. System engineers do not have any tools to predict the ESD impact on the systems. In order to predict the ESD path throughout the electronic system and adjust the ESD protection strategy to provide proper protection for all critical components, some researches around the world are in process. The research results from ESE working group from the LAAS-CNRS laboratory, were mainly on passive components, integrated circuits and electronics boards modeling methods, implemented in VHDL-AMS language. Integrated circuits have an internal ESD protection network that helps to deflect the stress…

▼ Static charge is something that most individuals recognize as something that happens when they walk across a carpet, touch their refrigerator and get shocked. Most people seldom recognize that a shock due to static charge, or properly called, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a phenomenon that has significantly damaging effects. Most people who stay informed of the current news, have heard stories of static charge causing a pump at a gas station to start on fire. Some individuals may even recognize that when they change the memory on a computer, they need to ensure that they are properly electrically grounded to prevent damage to any of the sensitive electronic components within their computers. However, it is unlikely that very many individuals would ever consider that an ESD event may be significant enough to initiate an explosive material. Explosives materials are materials that many people might recognize as susceptible to initiation due to mechanical insults. Plastic and foam materials are often used to protect explosives. Unfortunately, often many of these materials are dielectric materials which are susceptible to triboelectric charge transfer, or build-up of static charge, and thus, become a potential hazardous electrical source that may cause the explosive to inadvertently initiate. To eliminate the generation of static electricity, it is important to understand the methods in which static electricity is generated on these types of materials. If the method of triboelectric charge transfer is understood, it is possible to minimize the effects to ensure that the device that is designed to prevent mechanical insults to the explosive materials does not become its greatest electrical insult. Once the method of charge transfer is understood, a potential method of charge removal might be possible to ensure that explosive devices are protected from both mechanical and electrical insults.

Le cadre de cette étude se focalise sur le développement de protections contre les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) externes aux composants électroniques à protéger. Pour des raisons applicatives, ou l'encombrement devient une préoccupation majeure, ces protections ESD doivent répondre à des contraintes de taille toujours plus difficiles à satisfaire tout en gardant les mêmes performances en robustesse. Ce travail présente un nouveau concept de structure de protection ESD bidirectionnel basé sur une technologie industrielle originellement dédié à la réalisation de capacités à haute densité d'intégration. Le procédé technologique possède une étape de fabrication de tranchées profonde qui est mise à profit dans cette étude pour la réalisation de diodes tridimensionnelles. L'optimisation de la configuration de ces structure a été menée par une étude théorique à l'aide des outils de simulation TCAD afin de mieux appréhender le fonctionnement physique et d'apporter des règles de conception. De nombreux résultats expérimentaux sont présentés et des comparaisons seront également menées afin de quantifier l'apport de cette nouvelle technologie. La meilleure configuration permet de garantir une réduction de 25% de la taille des structures tout en garantissant un niveau de robustesse élevé.

As part of this study focuses on the development of external protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) to the electronic components to protect. For many applicative reasons where taken area becomes a major concern, the ESD protection must meet size constraints increasingly difficult to satisfy while keeping the same performance in robustness. This work presents a new concept of bi-directional ESD protection structure based on industrial technology originally dedicated to achieving high-density integration capabilities. The technological process has a deep trench production step which is used in this study for the realization of three-dimensional diodes. Optimizing configuration of the structure was conducted by a theoretical study using TCAD simulation tools to better understand the physical functioning and provide design rules. Many experimental results are presented and comparisons will also be conducted to quantify the contribution of this new technology. The best configuration ensures a 25% reduction in the size of structures while ensuring a high level of robustness.

Les circuits intégrés (CI) devenant de plus en plus complexes et vulnérables face aux décharges électrostatiques (ESD pour ElectroStatic Discharge), la capacité à vérifier de manière fiable la présence de défauts de conception ESD sur des puces comptant plusieurs milliards de transistors avant tout envoi en fabrication est devenu un enjeu majeur dans l’industrie des semi-conducteurs. Des outils commerciaux automatisés de dessin électronique (EDA pour Electronic Design Automation) et leur flot de vérification associé permettent d’effectuer différents types de contrôles qui se sont révélés être efficaces pour des circuits avec une architecture classique. Cependant, ils souffrent de limitations lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à des architectures inhabituelles, dites custom. De plus, ces méthodes de vérification sont généralement effectuées tard dans le flot de conception, rendant toute rectification de dessin coûteuse en termes d’efforts correctifs et de temps. Cette thèse de doctorat propose une méthodologie de vérification ESD systématique et multi-échelle introduite dans un outil appelé ESD IP Explorer qui a été spécifiquement implémenté pour couvrir le flot de conception dans sa globalité et pour adresser des circuits dits custom. Il est composé d’un module de reconnaissance et d’un module de vérification. Le module de reconnaissance identifie tout d’abord et de manière automatisée les structures de protection ESD, embarquées sur silicium dans le circuit intégré pour améliorer leur robustesse ESD, selon un mécanisme de reconnaissance topologique. Le module de vérification convertit ensuite le réseau de protection ESD, formé des structures de protection ESD, en un graphe dirigé. Finalement, une analyse ESD quasi-statique reposant sur des algorithmes génériques issus de la théorie des graphes est effectuée sur la globalité du circuit à vérifier. Des algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique ont été employés pour prédire les comportements quasi-statiques des protections ESD à partir des paramètres d’instance de leurs composants élémentaires sous la forme d’une liste d’interconnexions. L’avantage ici est qu’aucune simulation électrique n’est requise pendant toute la durée d’exécution d’ESD IP Explorer, ce qui simplifie l’architecture de l’outil et accélère l’analyse. Les efforts d’implémentation ont été concentrés sur la compatibilité d’ESD IP Explorer avec le nœud technologique 28nm FD-SOI (pour Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator). L’outil de vérification développé a été utilisé avec succès pour l’analyse d’un circuit incorporant des parties numériques et à signaux mixtes et comprenant plus de 1,5 milliard de transistors en seulement quelques heures. Des circuits custom qui n’ont pas pu être vérifiés au moyen d’outils de vérification traditionnels du fait de problèmes d’incompatibilité ont également pu être soumis à analyse grâce à ESD IP Explorer.

▼ Ce sujet de thèse a pour objectif principal la conception de protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) en technologie silicium avancée sur isolant film mince (FDSOI) avec la compatibilité substrat massif. Ceci suppose une caractérisation ESD des dispositifs élémentaires déjà existants et une conception complète de nouveaux dispositifs sur technologie FDSOI. Ces caractérisations se feront, soit en collaboration avec les équipes de caractérisation ESD présents à STMicroelectronics-Crolles, soit directement par le doctorant grâce au banc de test ESD présent dans le laboratoire pour les développements plus en amont si besoin. La caractérisation fine des mécanismes physiques et des performances des composants sera menée à IMEP qui dispose des équipements adéquats (bancs de mesures en basse et haute température, bruit, pompage de charge, etc) et d’une compétence scientifique incontournable. Il sera ensuite nécessaire d’effectuer des choix de stratégies de protection ESD en fonction des applications et des circuits visés par les équipes de STMicroelectronics. On gardera à l’esprit la notion de fiabilité dès la conception de la protection. Une des stratégies envisagée pour la réalisation de protections ESD compatibles avec des films ultra-minces est l’intégration de ces dispositifs sur substrats hybrides. En effet, il a été démontré chez STMicroelectronics en partenariat avec le LETI qu’il était possible de co-intégrer à partir d’un substrat SOI des dispositifs FDSOI ainsi que des dispositifs bulk. Ceci est rendu possible au moyen d’un réticule supplémentaire qui permet de venir retirer le film de silicium et l’oxyde enterré aux endroits voulus. Ainsi la protection ESD est similaire à celle réalisée sur silicium massif mais avec des implantations compatibles avec des dispositifs à film mince. Les dispositifs sont donc sensiblement différents de ceux réalisés sur bulk et nécessitent une caractérisation approfondie afin de les optimiser au mieux. Une approche ambitieuse vise à concevoir des composants SOI inédits, utilisables pour la protection ESD. Ce volet du travail sera en autre effectué sous la responsabilité de l’IMEP qui a récemment inventé et publié plusieurs types de transistors révolutionnaires : Z2-FET, TFET et BET-FET [12-14].Les études se feront sur des dispositifs silicium sur isolant issus des technologies de fabrication STMicroelectronics. Pour ce faire, il sera nécessaire d’appréhender les techniques de fabrication. Dans ce cadre, une simulation des processus de fabrication est envisagée sous la chaîne d’outil ISE-TCAD en C20nm et technologies futures. Tout d’abord ceci permettra d’embrasser l’ensemble des possibilités inhérentes à la création de nouveaux composants dans la technologie considérée et ensuite cette étude préliminaire fournira des structures de simulation pour les configurations ESD. Parallèlement, les outils TCAD de simulation physique du semi-conducteur à gap indirect type silicium seront mis à profit pour étudier plus précisément le comportement du composant élémentaire de… Advisors/Committee Members: Cristoloveanu, Sorin (thesis director).

L'utilisation de sources naturelles illimitées telles que l'énergie solaire, éolienne ou hydraulique est en plein essor. Cependant leurs productions énergétiques sont fortement liées aux conditions climatiques et sont donc intermittentes. Ces systèmes nécessitent donc d'être associés à du stockage d'énergie, afin de lisser la production avant injection sur le réseau. Pour toutes ces raisons, les batteries Li-ion doivent intégrer de nouveaux matériaux d'électrode permettant d'obtenir une grande puissance et une haute densité d'énergie, tout en conservant une durée de vie élevée et une sécurité d'utilisation.Dans ce contexte, notre travail a consisté à préparer des matériaux à hauts potentiels, le LiCoPO4 (LCP) et le LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO). Ces derniers s'inscrivent parfaitement dans le contexte de développement de matériaux à haute densité d'énergie puisqu'ils possèdent des potentiels d'oxydation de 4,8 et 4,7 V vs Li +/Li et des densités d'énergies massiques théoriques de 802 et 691 Wh.kg-1 par rapport au lithium, respectivement.Ces matériaux ont d'abord été synthétisés sous forme de couches minces afin d'obtenir des électrodes modèles pour étudier de manière fondamentale les propriétés de transport des matériaux et ses interactions en présence d'un électrolyte liquide notamment les phénomènes à l'interface électrode/électrolyte. La compréhension des matériaux acquise au cours de ce premier axe a permis de transposer et d'adapter ces techniques de caractérisation aux systèmes plus complexes que sont les électrodes composites.Les propriétés de ces matériaux vis-à-vis de l'insertion et la désinsertion du lithium ont ensuite été testées et caractérisées en cellules électrochimiques. De nombreux paramètres cinétiques et thermodynamiques ont été extrait grâce à plusieurs techniques électrochimiques telles que la titration intermittente (GITT), la spectroscopie d'impédance (PEIS et GEIS), le cyclage galvano-statique et les tests de puissance. Nous proposons d'ailleurs une méthode simple, à partir de ces tests de puissance, pour déterminer le coefficient de diffusion du lithium. Enfin, nous tentons de répondre à plusieurs questions qui demeurent en suspens concernant la cyclabilité et la perte de capacité de ces matériaux à haut potentiel au cours de cyclage long et nous proposons une technique très simple permettant d'améliorer de façon étonnamment efficace la cyclabilité d'électrodes composites de LNMO.

The use of unlimited natural sources such as solar, wind or hydraulic power is booming. However, their energy production is dependant of climatic conditions and is therefore intermittent. These systems are usually associated with energy storage, in order to smooth the production before injection on the network. For all these reasons, Li-ion batteries need to incorporate new electrode materials to achieve high power and high energy density while maintaining a long life and safe use.In this context, our work consisted in preparing high potential materials, LiCoPO4 (LCP) and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO). The latter are perfectly…

Ces travaux s'inscrivent dans un contexte où les contraintes vis-à-vis des décharges électrostatiques sont de plus en plus fortes, les circuits de protection sont un problème récurrent pour les circuits fonctionnant à hautes fréquences. La capacité parasite des composants de protection limite fortement la transmission du signal et peut perturber fortement le fonctionnement normal d'un circuit. Les travaux présentés dans ce mémoire font suite à une volonté de fournir aux concepteurs de circuits fonctionnant aux fréquences millimétriques un circuit de protection robuste présentant de faibles pertes en transmission, avec des dimensions très petites et fonctionnant sur une très large bande de fréquences, allant du courant continu à 100 GHz. Pour cela, une étude approfondie des lignes de transmission et des composants de protection a été réalisée à l'aide de simulations électromagnétiques et de circuits. Placés et fragmentées le long de ces lignes de transmission, les composants de protection ont été optimisés afin de perturber le moins possible la transmission du signal, tout en gardant une forte robustesse face aux décharges électrostatiques. Cette stratégie de protection a été réalisée et validée en technologies CMOS avancées par des mesures fréquentielles, électriques et de courant de fuite.

Advanced CMOS technologies provide an easier way to realize radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). However, the lithography dimension shrink make electrostatic discharges (ESD) issues become more significant. Specific ESD protection devices are embedded in RFICs to avoid any damage. Unfortunately, ESD protections parasitic capacitance limits the operating bandwidth of RFICs. ESD protection size dimensions are also an issue for the protection of RFICs, in order to avoid a significant increase in production costs. This work focuses on a broadband ESD solution (DC-100 GHz) able to be implemented in an I/O pad to protect RFICs in advanced CMOS technologies. Thanks to the signal transmission properties of coplanar / microstrip lines, a broadband ESD solution is achieved by implementing ESD components under a transmission line. The silicon proved structure is broadband; it can be used in any RF circuits and fulfill ESD target. The physical dimensions also enable easy on-chip integration.

Tout composant envoyé dans l'espace est soumis à de nombreuses contraintes (radiations, température) qui peuvent conduire à une défaillance de l'ensemble du système. Dans un avenir proche, ces contraintes deviendront de plus en plus critiques à mesure que les agences spatiales développeront des missions visant d'autres planètes, telles que Jupiter, pour lesquelles la contrainte radiative est extrême. Dans ce travail, deux types d'effets dus aux radiations sont étudiés : les effets cumulatifs et les effets transitoires. L'un correspond à la dégradation induite par les radiations au cours du temps, tandis que l'autre correspond à un événement ponctuel qui peut se produire à tout moment lorsque le système est dans l'espace. Pour garantir le bon fonctionnement en vol, des normes de qualification des composants électroniques ont été élaborées par différentes agences spatiales. Toutes ces normes précisent que les effets cumulatifs et transitoires doivent être vérifiés à l'aide de composants intacts pour chaque essai. Par conséquent, les effets cumulatifs sont traités séparément des effets transitoires, alors qu'il y a une forte probabilité qu'ils apparaissent simultanément pendant une mission spatiale. L'étude des effets de synergie est alors le thème principal de cette thèse.Sur un amplificateur opérationnel bipolaire, la réponse de sortie du composant due à un événement transitoire est directement liée aux paramètres internes du composant, qui varient sous l’effet des radiations. A l’aide d’une comparaison entre trois amplificateurs opérationnels différents partageant la même référence, l'impact du design sur la dégradation due aux radiation est étudié.Récemment, des défaillances imprévues ont été reportées pour lesquelles le mode de défaillance semblait indiquer qu'une structure de protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) était en cause. Par conséquent, pour comprendre si ces protections peuvent causer des défaillances inattendues, la dégradation des « Gate Grounded n-MOSFET » (GGnMOS) est également étudiée.

Any system sent to space is submitted to many constraints (radiations, temperature) which may lead to a failure of the whole system. In a close future, these constraints will become more and more critical as the space agencies are developing missions aiming at others planets such as Jupiter for which the radiative constraint is extremely harsh. In this work, two types of radiation effects are studied: the cumulative effects and the transient effects. One corresponds to the radiation-induced degradation over time, while the other corresponds to a punctual event that can happen at any time when the system is in space. To ensure a proper functioning of a system sent to space, qualifications standards for electronic components have been developed by different space agencies. All of these standards specify that the components must be tested for cumulative and transient effects, using pristine components for each test. Therefore, cumulative effects are treated separately from transient effects, while…

Utifrån litteratur kan man läsa om vad hållbar utveckling innebär och att det är ett komplext ämne. Det finns däremot inte mycket information som visar på hur man inom förskolans verksamhet arbetar med hållbar utveckling. I studien har vi valt presentera olika begrepp samt utgå från både det sociokulturella och pragmatiska perspektivet, för att undersöka våra frågeställningar baserat på barnens intressen och erfarenheter. Det pragmatiska perspektivet är relevant för vår studie, då det visar hur undervisning sker utifrån ett praktiskt lärande där barnen hela tiden är delaktiga. Utifrån det sociokulturella perspektivet vill vi även undersöka hur barnens ålder har betydelse för lärande av hållbar utveckling utifrån den proximala utvecklingszonen. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur pedagogerna från tre olika förskolor i södra Sverige, förmedlar sina kunskaper till barnen och varför detta är betydelsefullt redan i förskolans verksamhet. Syftet är även att synliggöra hur pedagoger i förskolan tolkar hållbar utveckling utifrån styrdokumenten. Resultatet av studien visar att pedagogerna arbetar med hållbar utveckling genom att bryta ner lärandet i exempelvis olika vardagssituationer, detta för att anpassa undervisningen även till de yngsta barnen. Resultatet visar även att pedagogerna vill arbeta med detta ämne för att få barnen intresserade av vad hållbar utveckling handlar om, bland annat genom att låta barnen få vara med och se matens väg från jord till bord, men också att låta dem får vara med ute i naturen. När barnen får vara delaktiga i undervisningen leder detta till att barnen får ett intresse för att värna för en hållbar framtid.

Based on the literature you can read about what sustainable development means and that it is a complex topic. However, there is not much information that shows how the preschool is working on sustainable development. In the study, we have chosen to present different concepts and adopt both the socio-cultural and pragmatic perspective, to examine our issues based on children's interests and experiences. The pragmatic approach is relevant to our study, as it shows how teaching is based on a practical learning where kids are involved all the time. Based on the socio-cultural perspective, we also want examine how the age of the children is important for learning about sustainable development from the proximal development zone. The study aims at examine how teachers from three different preschools in southern Sweden, convey their knowledge to their children and why this is important already in preschool. It also aims at highlighting how teachers in preschool interpret sustainable development based on the policy documents. The results of the study show that the preschool teachers work with sustainable development by breaking down learning inot, for example, everyday situations, in order to adapt the teaching even for the youngest children. The results also show that teachers want to work with this topic to get kids interested in what…

Allt levande på jorden är beroende av de tillgångar som erhålls av naturens olika ekosystem. På senare tid har dock människans påverkan på miljön och naturen fått stora konsekvenser som utsätter livet på jorden för fara. Mot denna bakgrund har ett intresse utvecklats för hur lärare bedriver undervisning om hållbar utveckling i syfte att utbilda samhällsmedborgare som besitter handlingsberedskap och konsekvenstänkande. Syftet med studien är därför att undersöka och analysera hur lärare undervisar ämnesövergripande om hållbar utveckling i NO och teknik i årskurs 4-6, samt vilken inställning lärare har till vikten av att behandla hållbar utveckling i dessa åldrar. De forskningsfrågor som används handlar om hur undervisningen organiseras, hur den bedrivs med fokus på de didaktiska frågorna vad, hur och varför samt hur lärarna beskriver att elever mottar undervisning om hållbar utveckling. För att uppnå syftet används en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta lärare i Sävsjö kommun. Materialet analyseras med hjälp av metoden kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Genom att använda grundtankar ur det sociokulturella perspektivet och gestaltad didaktik möjliggörs ett djup i materialanalysen. Resultatet visar att lärarna i studien anser att hållbar utveckling är ett viktigt ämnesinnehåll i årskurs 4-6. Vidare framhävs att lärarna är medvetna om lärandemiljöns betydelse för inlärning och konkreta exempel ges på hur samtliga lärare arbetar ämnesövergripande om hållbar utveckling i NO och teknik. Lärarna uttrycker att det finns eventuella hinder för ämnesövergripande arbete med hållbar utveckling, men samtidigt är de fördelar som räknas upp övervägande i förhållande till antalet hinder. I beskrivningen av hur elever uppfattar undervisning om hållbar utveckling visar resultatet att de flesta är medvetna och engagerade. Slutsatsen är att ämnesövergripande arbete är positivt för elevers utvecklande av helhetsförståelse för hållbar utveckling.

Life on earth is depending on the assets received from different ecosystems. Lately, the human impact on the environment and nature has resulted in enormous consequences that imply danger to life on earth. Due to this fact, an interest evolved towards how education for sustainable development conducts with the aim to educate citizens to take action and think about the consequences of their choices. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate and analyse how teachers teach sustainable development interdisciplinary in science and technology in grades 4-6 and how important it is according to the teachers. The research questions that are being used is about how education is organized, how it is conducted with focus on the didactic questions what, how and why and how students receive education for sustainable development according to the teachers. To achieve the aim of the study it is carried through by a qualitative method in form of semi-structured interviews with eight teachers in the county of Sävsjö in…

▼ In the next few years, the 5th generation of mobile network employing the massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO), beam-forming, mm-wave frequency bands and carrier aggregation techniques will further increase the data rate to enrich the growing of mobile devices at the price of more complex multi-band, multi-frequency front end module (FEM). As an indispensable part of radio-frequency front end (RFFE), antenna switch circuit needs more restrict performance not only the basic insertion loss, isolation and power handling capability, but the requirements from higher data rate, low interference and better reliability of 5G application. To achieve those additional requirements for 5G RF switch with 45nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology, this dissertation presents a novel multi-bands switch array structure to analysis the interference between switches in a single chip. The comprehensive study of switch array reveals that existing noise isolation techniques are insufficient and calls for novel in-die interference elimination. To reduce this in-die crosstalk, an above-silicon through back-end-of-line (BEOL) metal wall is developed as a practical solution with about 18.5dB (~98.6%) suppression. To reach a higher data rate with available frequency bands, millimeter wave (mm-wave) switches (28GHz/38GHz) has been demonstrated with the consideration of reliability issue of electrostatic discharge (ESD) which will introduce severe parasitic effects under this frequency level and degrade the performance of RFICs. The insertion loss and isolation together with ESD protection capability have been compared which shows the importance of ESD-RFIC co-design. Considering the necessity of accurate estimation for ESD performance, a novel methodology for both human body model (HBM) and charged device model (CDM) ESD protections using combined TCAD simulation and TLP/VFTLP measurements is depicted. To improve the accuracy of parasitic capacitance extraction, this dissertation introduces an enhanced de-embedded method with the help of HFSS simulation which reduces one third of the testchip size and gives a better reference for co-design.

▼ It is necessary to design robust electronic systems against system-level electrostatic discharge (ESD). In additional to withstanding ESD without hard failures (permanent damage), it is important that the system is robust against soft failures (recoverable loss of function or data), which can be caused by ESD-induced noise on signal inputs and power nets. Besides radiation, the current injection into the circuit alone can cause these disturbances, especially the sharp current spike of a high amplitude in system-level ESD. The waveform of this current is similar in various ESD test setups. Circuit models with distributed elements enable accurate modeling of the system-level ESD current in contact discharge. Experiments have shown that ESD-induced noise on signal traces starts to disturb the IO input at very low ESD levels, and the effectiveness of the transient voltage suppressor (TVS) on board is limited. The noise on supply is global to integrated circuit (IC), as it travels across all the power domains. The waveform of the noise depends on the polarity of the ESD current and the type of ESD protection. The experiments have shown that the supply fluctuation can be quite severe, as a strong reverse of the on-chip supply is indicated by monitor circuits starting from the ESD levels below the common required passing level. This poses a requirement of a minimum amount of on-chip decoupling capacitances (decaps) to limit the amplitude of supply fluctuations. This requirement is similar whether the supply voltage is generated on-chip or off-chip, as long as a large amount of off-chip decap is used and connected to the board ground. If the supply voltage is generated on-chip, the regulator needs to be carefully designed against ESD induced noise. In addition, the rail clamp, if not optimized, deteriorates the power integrity with its instability. The ESD-induced supply fluctuation may cause latch-up without careful attention to the well-bias scheme.

▼ Focusing on the ‘Sustainable schools’ strategy, a programme launched in 2006 by the former United Kingdom government, this thesis examines the relationship between sustainable development and schools. It analyses how the abstract and contested concept of sustainable development (Scott & Gough 2003), is translated into education practices in state-funded primary schools in England and Portugal. The collection of data in two different countries is explained by the fact that it was in England that the ‘Sustainable schools’ policy was developed. Portugal was selected due to a requirement from my Portuguese sponsor, providing a valuable opportunity to explore the role of the context in the development of education for sustainable development (ESD) in primary schools. Taking a sociological approach, this study explores the practices of education for sustainable development and the factors that shape those practices. It looks at the way schools make choices, what they prioritise, and what the key elements influencing the development of ESD are. ‘What does one want ESD for?’; this is the underlying question behind the research, and so practices are contrasted with motivations, interests, agendas and expected outcomes. There is no single definition of ESD, given the complexity involved, and so to accept the importance of the concept of sustainability for education is to accept something that constitutes a problem (Corcoran & Wals 2004). Sustainability itself is a normative ethical principle, not a scientific concept as such, and since it has both necessary and desirable characteristics, there is no single model of a sustainable society (Robinson 2001). By providing robust data on how schools interpret, organise, decide, and implement ESD, my research contributes to the discussion of the role of schools in the transition to a ‘fairer and greener’ world. Literature claims, policy ideas and school practices are compared and contrasted with the aim of ‘demystify’ ESD and question the intentions, the expectations and the projected ESD outcomes The key research question of this study aims to identify the limitations of ESD in the shift to a ‘greener and fairer’ world. In order to do that, this thesis researched three other sub-questions: a) how is sustainability translated into practice in state-funded primary schools? b) how important is the promotion of ESD in primary schools’ agendas? and c) how was the ‘Sustainable schools’ project designed to prepare pupils for current and future environmental and social challenges. On the search for answers, several dilemmas were identified: of teaching about sustainable development versus practising it; of promoting critical thinking versus promoting specific knowledge, values and behaviours; of accepting the sustainable development concept or challenging it; of reducing the school’s environmental impact or developing the curriculum. These must all be faced by those dealing with ESD. Using a mixed methods approach, I explored these particular issues by researching five state-funded primary…

▼ The past decade has witnessed rapid proliferation of wireless communications, which continues to enjoy a booming growth driven by unprecedented technology advances and strong consumer demands. New wireless technologies are being developed to provide people with high-speed low-cost multi-mode multi-task wireless communication environments with high quality of service (QoS). Of all the proposed wireless techniques, ultra wideband (UWB) is a promising technology, which becomes a front contender for various extremely high data throughput wireless applications, particularly for wireless video streaming and wireless sea-volume data transformation typically requiring a data speed up to several giga bit per second (Gbps).This dissertation describes research and integrated circuit (IC) implementation of a single-full-band carrier-free impulse-radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) system. The IR-UWB transceiver adopts a simple-most-digital architecture with low design complexity, aiming to achieve the whole IR-UWB system-on-a-chip (SoC) in standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. Detail analysis for the IR-UWB system architecture is provided. Critical circuit building blocks, such as pulse generator (PG), BPSK modulation, receiver front-end low-noise amplifier (LNA) and correlator, are described both theoretically and experimentally. Adequate on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is required for all IC chips and ESD protection design for radio-frequency (RF) IC emerges as a challenging design task as semiconductor IC technologies continue to advance into the very-deep-sub-micron (VDSM) regime. ESD protection for IR-UWB ICs is more challenging compared with narrow band IC designs. In this thesis, a novel ESD-RFIC co-design technique for UWB ICs was developed and experimentally verified. The interactions between ESD protection unit and core UWB IC were thoroughly investigated. The IR-UWB transmitter, front-end LNA and correlator ICs were designed with full ESD protection using the new ESD-RFIC co-design technique in this work.

▼ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can easily damage integrated circuits (IC) and electronics systems [1-6]. It is hence imperative to investigate the ESD fundamentals and develop robust ESD protection solutions for semiconductors and ICs. Conventional on-chip ESD protection structures for ICs rely on in-Si PN-junction-based devices, which have many inherent disadvantages, making them unsuitable for future ICs at nano nodes.Both novel ESD device structures and robust ESD interconnects are critical to on-chip ESD protection designs. In this dissertation, I report research outcomes of transient and systematic characterization of graphene ribbon (GR) used as interconnects for on-chip ESD protection circuits for future ICs. A large set of GR wires with varying and practical dimensions were fabricated using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and characterized by transmission line pulsing (TLP) and very fast TLP (VFTLP) measurements. This research indicates that, with its unique properties, e.g., high thermal conductivity and high current handling capability, graphene ribbons may be used as interconnects for on-chip ESD protection circuits, replacing existing aluminum and copper metal interconnects. I also report a novel above-IC graphene-based nano-electromechanical system (gNEMS) transient switch ESD protection mechanism and structure. TLP testing confirms the new gNEMS ESD protection concept, showing dual-polarity transient ESD switching effect with a response time down to 200ps. This novel gNEMS switch is a potential ESD protection solution to realize above-Si ESD protection designs through 3D heterogeneous integration in the back end of line (BEOL) of ICs.The third part of my PhD research was to explore using graphene to make novel ultrasound transducers. Ultrasound imaging utilizes ultrasonic acoustic waves to monitor organs and tissues, which has been widely used in biomedical diagnosis, such as in obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, urology and cancer detection areas. Capacitive micro-machined ultrasound transducers (CMUT) are recently used for ultrasound imaging systems. CMUTs have advantages over piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasound transducers (PMUTs). CMUT can be fabricated by standard IC fabrication processes, making it possible to make high-performance, lost-cost and compact ultrasounic system-on-s-chip (SoC) for hand-held ultrasound imaging systems for various biological and medical applications. One key disadvantage of existing CMUT structures is the relatively low frequency, well below 100MHz as reported, hence, poor imaging resolution. I report the first concept of a graphene CMUT structure with a resonant frequency around/beyond 110MHz, making it possible to develop ultra-high resolution hand-held ultrasound imaging products for healthcare applications.

▼ We, as a society, have been presented with a massive problem to solve. As the northern hemisphere (and increasingly parts of the southern hemisphere) continue efforts for economic growth, security, and personal comfort; topics of ecological damage, climate change, hunger, disease, poverty, exploitation, and war become more and more commonplace in our collective psyche. In order to find solutions, we must stop using old ways of thinking in favor of a ‘new story’, one that places humans within nature instead of in control over it. While top level efforts are important, even more critical to this topic are the people charged with teaching these new ideas, beliefs, and behaviors. The question that arises from this is, what are the beliefs and values of the teachers who are viewed as passionate or leaders in the field of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)? What have they learned or experienced that has led them to teach from an ecologically literate perspective and/or towards a greater understanding and acceptance of social responsibility? This study collects the stories and experiences of six high school science teachers and ESD practitioners currently working in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Stories were analyzed to discover: individual values and belief sets of teachers as well as their progression from childhood to novice teacher to ESD practitioner; and experiences that promoted currently held beliefs and values. As a result, the data shows ESD practitioners to be dedicated and committed individuals, whose values and attitudes stem directly from childhood experiences in nature coupled with parental/adult encouragement. From their stories and experiences, it is clear that successful implementation of values based ESD programs rests sole on the shoulders of the people asked to teach it.
