Application-specific integrated circuit specifications

They may be classified by their structure, as coin, cylindrical and pin types. Table 5, 6, 7 respectively show their specifications. Applications of Li -(CF)n batteries as power sources are spreading from professional and business uses, such as in wireless transmitters and integrated circuit (IC) memory preservation, to consumer uses in electronic watches, cameras, calculators, and the like. Pin-type batteries are used for illumination-type fishing floats with a light-emitting diode. Coin-type batteries, which have a stable packing insulation, separator, and electrolyte for high... 

The rolled type batteries are general-purpose batteries with high capacity and good characteristics. Thin film power sources have found a number of specific applications in the fields of portable accumulators with high energy density for application in electronic and integral circuits, sensors, monitors and for medicine [3],... 

Most microhotplate-based chemical sensors have been realized as multi-chip solutions with separate transducer and electronics chips. One example includes a gas sensor based on a thin metal film [16]. Another example is a hybrid sensor system comprising a tin-oxide-coated microhotplate, an alcohol sensor, a humidity sensor and a corresponding ASIC chip (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) [17]. More recent developments include an interface-circuit chip for metal oxide gas sensors and the conccept for an on-chip driving circuitry architecture of a gas sensor array [18,19]. 

Electronic materials encompass a wide variety of solids and their applications. Nevertheless, the area that has become synonymous with electronic materials is microelectronics. This situation has arisen because of the rapid and pervasive development and growth of microelectronic devices or integrated circuits (ICs). Although there are literally hundreds of individual steps that compose the manufacture of an IC, essentially each one is a chemical process. Thus, this book emphasizes the fundamental chemical engineering principles involved in the fabrication of ICs. This volume is intended to be a tutorial tool rather than a comprehensive review. Additional details on specific topics can be obtained from the extensive list of references at the end of each chapter. 

An integrated circuit (IC), or chip, represents the brains behind all electronic devices. An IC is a compilation of billions of complex subunits such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, and diodes that are all interconnected in a specific manner depending on the desired application. Incredibly, this minute world of microcircuitry is fitted onto the surface of a thin silicon substrate about the size of a fingernail Though ICs have only been used since the early 1970s, consider some of the ways our lives have been changed ... 

Solid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries are expected to offer several advantages over traditional, nonaqueous liquid electrolytes. A solid electrolyte would give a longer shelf life, along with an enhancement in specific energy density. A solid electrolyte may also eliminate the need for a distinct separator material, such as the polypropylene or polyethylene microporous separators commonly used in contemporary liquid electrolyte-based batteries. Solid electrolytes are also desirable over liquid electrolytes in certain specialty applications where bulk lithium-ion batteries as weU as thin-film lithium-ion batteries are needed for primary and backup power supplies for systems, devices, and individual integrated circuit chips. 

The BBIC is an optical application-specific integrated circuit (OASIC) transducer that couples directly to bioreporter matrices to provide a complete, standalone detection system (Fig. In a single, small footprint, low power package, the BBIC provides for the detection of the bioreporter optical signal, the distinguishing...
