As wearable technology and wireless sensor nodes become more and more ubiquitous, the batteries required to power them have become more and more unappealing as they limit lifetime and scalability. Energy harvesting from body heat provides a solution to these limitations. Energy can be harvested from body heat using thermoelectric generators, or TEGs. TEGs provide a continuous, scalable, solid-state energy source ideal for wearable and wireless electronics and sensors. Unfortunately, current TEG technology produces low power (< 1 mW) at a very low voltage (20-90 mV) and require the load to be matched to the TEG internal resistance for maximum power transfer to occur. This thesis research proposes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) that steps up ultralow voltages generated by TEGs to a regulated 3 V, while matching the internal resistance. The proposed boost converter aims to harvest energy from body heat as efficiently and flexibly as possible by providing a regulated 3 V output that can be used by a variable load. A comparator-based burst mode operation affords the converter a high conversion ratio at high efficiency, while fractional open circuit voltage maximum power point tracking ensures that the controller can be used with a variety of TEGs and TEG setups. This control allows the converter to boost input voltages as low as 50 mV, while matching a range of TEG internal source resistances in one stage. The controller was implemented in 0.25 µm CMOS and taped out in February 2016. Since these fabricated chips will not be completed and delivered until May 2016, functionality has only been verified through simulation. Simulation results are promising and indicate that the peak overall efficiency is 81% and peak low voltage, low power efficiency is 73%. These results demonstrate the the proposed converter can achieve overall efficiencies comparable to current literature and low power efficiencies better than similar wide range converters in literature. / Master of Science

In Part I, the design of an ASIC control chip for a forward active clamp converter is presented. Integration of the control and drive circuit into one IC chip results in higher power density, higher reliability for the converter module. The designed ASIC control chip uses a 2.0 um N well Analog CMOS process, and is fabricated at MOSIS. The design procedures of the ASIC chip are explained, and experimental results are presented. Part II of the thesis focuses on the numerical investigation of several integratable lateral power devices. Lateral power devices are used in power IC designs because of their compatibility with analog & digital IC process. To obtain devices with high current density, large safe operating area, fast response and low cost is highly desirable for power ICs. In Part II of this thesis, several lateral power devices are discussed and simulated, including lateral IGBT, lateral MCT and double gate lateral MCTs. It is shown that lateral IGBT and lateral MCTs are good candidates for power IC applications. / Master of Science

This thesis reports the fabrication of three dimensionally independent on-chip microchannels using a CMOS-compatible single mask deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process for cooling 3D ICs. Three dimensionally independent microchannels are fabricated by utilizing the RIE lag effect. This allows complex microchannel configurations to be fabricated using a single mask and single silicon etch step. Furthermore, the microchannels are sealed in one step by low temperature oxide deposition. The micro-fin channels heat transfer characteristics are similar to previously published channel designs by being capable of removing 185 W/cm2 before the junction temperatures active elements exceed 85°C. To examine the heat transfer characteristics of this proposed on-chip cooler, different channel geometries were simulated using computational fluid dynamics. The channel designs were simulated using 20°C water at different flow rates to achieve a laminar flow regime with Reynolds numbers ranging from 200 to 500. The steady state simulations were performed using a heat flux of 100 W/cm2. Simulation results were verified using fabricated test chips. A micro-fin geometry showed to have the highest heat transfer capability and lowest simulated substrate temperatures. While operating with a Reynolds number of 400, a Nusselt number per input energy (Nu/Q) of 0.24 W-1 was achieved. The micro-fin geometry is also capable of cooling a substrate with a heat flux of 100W/cm2 to 45ºC with a Reynolds number of 525. These channels also have a lower thermal resistance compared to external heat sinks because there is no heat spreader or thermal interface material layer. / Master of Science

A vinhaça é um dos resíduos da produção de etanol, considerada de elevada capacidade poluidora. Estima-se que para cada litro de etanol produzido, produz-se entre 10 até 15 litros de vinhaça. Porém, este mesmo subproduto pode ser utilizado para geração de eletricidade, fertilizantes, biogás e obtenção de créditos de carbono a partir de biodigestores e concentradores. Logo, a vinhaça pode vir a contribuir para um incremento na geração de energia elétrica e de outros produtos para fomento de renda para o setor sucroenergético e resolver o problema ambiental no que se refere ao descarte in natura. Ante o exposto, justifica-se um estudo sobre a utilização da vinhaça, norteada pela problemática: qual a viabilidade econômica, ambiental e energética da utilização do biodigestor IC, concentrador de vinhaça e o conjugado de ambos? O objetivo geral foi analisar a viabilidade energética, ambiental e econômica da utilização de vinhaça em concentradores, biodigestores IC e em ambos para geração de eletricidade, fertilizantes e créditos de carbono. Para responder à pergunta, a metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi a análise de viabilidade econômica, aonde foi calculado o VPL, TIR, payback e o payback descontado. Sendo qual foi calculado o consumo anual de Diesel no transporte de vinhaça biodigerida e concentrada, balanço de energia no consumo de Diesel e gerada pelo biogás por ano, balanço de geração e consumo de eletricidade e equivalente populacional de geração de eletricidade de vinhaça e, por fim, a análise ambiental, aonde foi calculado o equivalente populacional de vinhaça biodigerida e concentrada, balanço de emissão e mitigação de NOx, SOx e CO2 eq. pelo concentrador, transporte de vinhaça concentrada, ambas as três análises para uma faixa de produção de etanol de 500 até 4.000 m3/dia, como também para estados brasileiros produtores desse combustível. Como resultado pode-se constatar que os fertilizantes têm importância na viabilidade econômica dos biodigestores IC e concentradores de vinhaça, em cenários sem isenções tributárias e taxa mínima de atratividade 15% a.a. A eletricidade por si só terá viabilidade em cenário com baixa taxa mínima de atratividade de 11% e isenções fiscais. No que se refere a análise energética, destacam-se os resultados do biodigestor IC nas dimensões equivalente populacional e balanço de geração e consumo de eletricidade e na análise ambiental destaca-se o conjugado biodigestor IC e concentrador para as dimensões equivalente populacional e dióxido de carbono equivalentes emitidos e mitigados. Pode-se constatar a partir dos resultados alcançados e da revisão bibliográfica realizada os seguintes cenários desfavoráveis em potêncial para reutilização de vinhaça: baixo preço do MWh tanto no ACR quanto no ACL, incipiência no mercado de eletricidade, elevado investimento em transmissão, ausência de políticas públicas de incentivo a utilização de matéria orgânica proveniente da agropecuárias, ausência de políticas públicas de incentivo a utilização de energias renováveis, experiências não exitosas pelas usinas de utilização de vinhaça para produção de biogás, biodigestores em processo de consolidação tecnológica, incapacidade de financiamento do setor sucroenergético, preço dos concentradores de vinhaça, omissão legislativa referente ao descarte de vinhaça e descapitalização das usinas sucroenergeticas. / Vinasse is one of the residues from the production of ethanol, considered polluting high capacity. It is estimated that for every liter of ethanol produced, produces between 10 to 15 liters of vinasse. However, this same byproduct can be used for generating electricity, fertilisers, biogas and obtaining carbon credits from bio-digesters and concentrators. Soon, vinasse might contribute to an increase in the generation of electricity and other products to promote income for the sugar-energy sector and solve the environmental problem as regards disposal in natura. Against the above, if a study on the use of vinasse, guided by the problem: what is the economic viability, environmental and energy use of the biodigestor, vinasse concentrator and the conjunction of both? The overall objective was to analyze the energy, environmental and economic feasibility of the use of vinasse in hubs, biodigestors IC and in both for electricity generation, fertilizer and carbon credits. To answer, the methodology used in the research was the economic feasibility analysis, where it was calculated the NPV, IRR, payback and discounted payback. Being what was calculated the annual Diesel consumption of biodigerida and concentrated vinasse, energy balance in the consumption of Diesel and biogas generated per year, generation and balance electricity consumption and electricity generation population equivalent of vinasse and, finally, the environmental analysis, where it was calculated the population equivalent of biodigerida and concentrated vinasse emission and mitigation balance of NOx, SOx and CO2 eq. by concentrator, concentrated vinasse transport, both three analysis for a range of ethanol production from 500 to 4,000 m3/day, as well as to the Brazilian States that fuel producers. As a result one can note that fertilizers have importance in the economic viability of bio-digesters IC and vinasse concentrators, in scenarios without tax exemptions and minimum rate of 15% p.a. attractiveness The electricity itself will have viability in scenario with lower minimum rate of 11% attractiveness and tax exemptions. With regard to energy analysis, include the results of the biodigestor IC equivalent dimensions of population and balance of generation and electricity consumption and environmental analysis is the conjugate biodigestor IC and concentrator for the dimensions and equivalent carbon dioxide equivalent emitted and mitigated. You can see from the results achieved and the literature review carried out the following unfavourable scenarios on potential for reuse of vinasse: low price of MWh in both the ACR and the ACL, the effects on the market of electricity, high investment in transmission, absence of public policies to encourage the use of organic matter from the cattle-breeding, absence of public policies to encourage the use of renewable energy , not successful experiences through the use of vinasse plants for production of biogas, biodigesters consolidation technology, inability to finance the sugar ethanol sector, price of vinasse concentrators, legislative omission concerning the discharge of vinasse and decapitalization of sucroenergeticas plants.

Also hope to find a model based on different cases, and provide IC design industry an optimal model when choosing new product develop strategies. 　　We could summarize this thesis to the following findings: 　　(1) The innovation capability of the IC design industry comes from absorption of knowledge, creation and accumulation, and as a platform of the four construction (knowledge and skills, real technology system, management system, value proposition and regulation) of the core capability. 　　(2) The innovation ofIC design industries is focused on the projects of prototype pilot run. 　　(3) There are two kinds ofIC design industries based on their innovation capability, one is the market leader with higher innovation capabilities, and the other is the market follower with lower innovation capabilities. 　　(4) Regarding the new product develop model of the IC design industries, those companies with higher technology path dependence will develop their own product technology, and therefore separating into multi-product line product transition model and original product line central incremental product transition model. 　　(5) The new product develop model of the IC design industries, those companies with lower technology path dependence will get the new product technology by acquirement, joint venture, co-development, merge and technology transfer, and separating into adding new product line product transition model and revolution product transition model. 　　(6) Market leader have higher core capability and innovation resource, so they can use the method of concentrate incremental, multi-product or multi-way transition, and therefore their business could last long. 　　(7) The follower has less core capability and lack of innovation resource, so they use central resource way and cut in niche product transition model. 　　(8) The follower has less core capability and lack of innovation resource, so they use central resource way in the current field, and fight for the market leader position to become central incremental product transition. 　　(9) IC design companies accelerate their product transition by acquiring IP and with their own capability. 　　(10) Due to the market competition, IC design companies need to fight for number one to make money. The last objective is to reduce risk by diversification, add product line and increase operation scale. 　　The innovation management of the IC design companies is the base of product transition, and the four product transition models can provide references for choosing new product develop strategy. So this research recommends IC design companies to choose their own new product develop strategy based on their own condition when doing the product transition.

台灣IC設計產業的產值佔全球IC產值約6%，意謂著台灣IC設計產業還有很大的成長空間，但也代表台灣業者必須面對全球性的激烈競爭。而台灣IC設計業者的主要競爭對手，就是美國與中國的IC供應商。 2011年第一季台灣IC設計公司的獲利大幅衰退，第二季又因淡季與匯率的雙重影響，淨利持續往下探底。但是美國與中國的相關業者，在同時期的狀況卻不是如此，究竟台灣IC設計產業出了什麼問題？ 本研究使用多元迴歸，分析台美中三地IC供應商的財務資訊，藉以找出影響獲利的關鍵因素。以下列出本文的三個關鍵議題：(1)比較各國業者獲利模式的差異；(2)探討各國業者的經營模式；(3)提供實務的建議給台灣業者。 關鍵詞：IC設計、多元迴歸、經營模式 / Basing on output value, Taiwan IC Design Industry has a nearly 6% global market share.

Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit den Faktoren, die das Wachstum und die Vertikalverteilung von Planktonalgen in extrem sauren Tagebaurestseen (TBS; pH 2-3) beeinflussen. Im exemplarisch untersuchten TBS 111 (pH 2.7; Lausitzer Revier) dominiert die Goldalge Ochromonas sp. in oberen und die Grünalge Chlamydomonas sp. in tieferen Wasserschichten, wobei letztere ein ausgeprägtes Tiefenchlorophyll-Maximum (DCM) ausbildet. Es wurde ein deutlicher Einfluss von Limitation durch anorganischen Kohlenstoff (IC) auf das phototrophe Wachstum von Chlamydomonas sp. in oberen Wasserschichten nachgewiesen, die mit zunehmender Tiefe von Lichtlimitation abgelöst wird. Im Vergleich mit Arbeiten aus neutralen Seen zeigte Chlamydomonas sp. erniedrigte maximale Wachstumsraten, einen gesteigerten Kompensationspunkt und erhöhte Dunkelrespirationsraten, was auf gesteigerte metabolische Kosten unter den extremen physikalisch-chemischen Bedingungen hinweist. Die Photosyntheseleistungen von Chlamydomonas sp. waren in Starklicht-adaptierten Zellen durch IC-Limitation deutlich verringert. Außerdem ergaben die ermittelten minimalen Zellquoten für Phosphor (P) einen erhöhten P-Bedarf unter IC-Limitation. Anschließend konnte gezeigt werden, dass Chlamydomonas sp. ein mixotropher Organismus ist, der seine Wachstumsraten über die osmotrophe Aufnahme gelösten organischen Kohlenstoffs (DOC) erhöhen kann. Dadurch ist dieser Organismus fähig, in tieferen, Licht-limitierten Wasserschichten zu überleben, die einen höheren DOC-Gehalt aufweisen. Da die Vertikalverteilung der Algen im TBS 111 jedoch weder durch IC-Limitation, P-Verfügbarkeit noch die in situ DOC-Konzentrationen abschließend erklärt werden konnte (bottom-up Kontrolle), wurde eine neue Theorie zur Entstehung der Vertikalverteilung geprüft. Grazing der phagotrophen und phototrophen Alge Ochromonas sp. auf der phototrophen Alge Chlamydomonas sp. erwies sich als herausragender Faktor, der über top-down Kontrolle die Abundanz der Beute in höheren Wasserschichten beeinflussen kann. Gemeinsam mit der Tatsache, dass Chlamydomonas sp. DOC zur Wachstumssteigerung verwendet, führt dies zu einer Akkumulation von Chlamydomonas sp. in der Tiefe, ausgeprägt als DCM. Daher erscheint grazing als der Hauptfaktor, der die beobachtete Vertikalschichtung der Algen im TBS 111 hervorruft. Die erzielten Ergebnisse liefern grundlegende Informationen, um die Auswirkungen von Strategien zur Neutralisierung der TBS auf das Nahrungsnetz abschätzen zu können. / In this thesis, I investigated the factors influencing the growth and vertical distribution of planktonic algae in extremely acidic mining lakes (pH 2-3). In the focal study site, Lake 111 (pH 2.7; Lusatia, Germany), the chrysophyte, Ochromonas sp., dominates in the upper water strata and the chlorophyte, Chlamydomonas sp., in the deeper strata, forming a pronounced deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM). Inorganic carbon (IC) limitation influenced the phototrophic growth of Chlamydomonas sp. in the upper water strata. Conversely, in deeper strata, light limited its phototrophic growth. When compared with published data for algae from neutral lakes, Chlamydomonas sp. from Lake 111 exhibited a lower maximum growth rate, an enhanced compensation point and higher dark respiration rates, suggesting higher metabolic costs due to the extreme physico-chemical conditions. The photosynthetic performance of Chlamydomonas sp. decreased in high-light-adapted cells when IC limited. In addition, the minimal phosphorus (P) cell quota was suggestive of a higher P requirement under IC limitation. Subsequently, it was shown that Chlamydomonas sp. was a mixotroph, able to enhance its growth rate by taking up dissolved organic carbon (DOC) via osmotrophy. Therefore, it could survive in deeper water strata where DOC concentrations were higher and light limited. However, neither IC limitation, P availability nor in situ DOC concentrations (bottom-up control) could fully explain the vertical distribution of Chlamydomonas sp. in Lake 111. Conversely, when a novel approach was adopted, the grazing influence of the phagotrophic phototroph, Ochromonas sp., was found to exert top-down control on its prey (Chlamydomonas sp.) reducing prey abundance in the upper water strata. This, coupled with the fact that Chlamydomonas sp. uses DOC for growth, leads to a pronounced accumulation of Chlamydomonas sp. cells at depth; an apparent DCM. Therefore, grazing appears to be the main factor influencing the vertical distribution of algae observed in Lake 111. The knowledge gained from this thesis provides information essential for predicting the effect of strategies to neutralize the acidic mining lakes on the food-web.

Abstract The developing trend toward the integreation of many function in application market of semiconductor, makes the original business model of IC design industry to change. From open structure (named ¡§Wintel¡¨ structure) till today, what we can see it shows as transition stage. It will be end in the situation the all devices can interlink to each other. All of us don¡¦t know how long we will overcome this transition stage. But it really challenges the orginal business model of IC design industry. The business model of IC design industry changes along with the changing in product application market. In this study, we do analysis of IC design industry¡¦s business model by four dimensions¡Xmarket strategies, capabilities of technology, the types of organization, financial resources. We will discuss the differents between Taiwan and American IC design industry In market strategy dimension, there are more and more difficults to distinguish between past strategy model including niche and volume strategies. Because the revolution of electronics application market, the better ways for Taiwan IC design industry to develop its market strategy are depending on capability focusing and the capture of market demend. When mentioning about the IC design skill, Taiwan IC design industry can choose several ways to cumulate its design capabilities according to the market strategy it chose. About types of the organization, the combination of fabless and fabless is the trend. Also 1¡¦st tier IDM will be the key roles who dominate the future IC industry. More than all, fabless who belong to system assembly factory or fabless who belong to foundry will be the mainstream in the IC industry and in electronics application market, too. Depending on what kinds of organzation IC design companies chose, it will affect the ability when they rising money. These four factors interaction built the business model of the Taiwan IC design industry.
