Texto completoThe increased presence of integrated circuit (IC) in the people’s life has occurred for main two reasons. The first is the aggressive scaling of integrated device dimensions. This miniaturization enabled the construction of smaller, faster and lower power consumption devices. The other factor is the use of a cell based methodology in IC design. This methodology is able to provide efficient circuits in a short time. With the devices scaling, new factors that were usually ignored in micrometer technologies have become relevant in nanometer designs. Among them, it can be mentioned the static consumption, process parameters variability, manufacturability and aging effects. Some of these factors, such as static consumption and variability, are already taken into account by the standard cell design methodology. On the other hand, the degradation caused by aging effects has increased at each new technology node, as well as the importance in relation to the circuit reliability throughout its entire lifetime has also increased. This thesis explores such aging effects in the design of digital IC. The main contributions can be highlighted as the definition of a cost of aging that can be exploited by logic synthesis algorithms to produce a more reliable circuit. This cost can be also used by the analysis tools in order to obtain an estimative of the degradation that specific circuit experiences throughout their lifetime. In addition, a proposal to reorder the transistor structural arrangement of logic gates is presented in order to treat the effects of aging on initial steps in the design flow. Finally, a simplified analysis of the characteristics to be exploited at circuit level is performed exploring details of the design of complex logic gates. The aging cost results have given a good and fast prediction of logic gates degradation. The transistor arrangement restructuring approach is a good alternative to design more reliable circuits. Furthermore, the use of complex arrangements is also an excellent alternative which exploits the intrinsic robustness of series transistors association. Moreover, the discussed approaches can be easily used together with existing techniques in the literature to achieve better results.

Texto completoThis thesis explores the challenges worsened by the technology miniaturization in fabrication and design of digital integrated circuits. The physical effects of nanometric regime reduce the production yield and shorten the devices lifetime, restricting the usefulness of standard design flows and threatening the evolution of CMOS technologies. This thesis exposes a consistent bibliographic review about the main aggressive physical effects of nanometric regime. NBTI has received special attention in reliability literature, so this text follows the same strategy, deeply exploring this aging effect. A broad set of NBTI evaluation and mitigation techniques are explained, including developed works in each one of these categories. The proposed circuit as NBTI evaluation technique allows the use of electrical simulation for circuit degradation analysis. The analysis of the transistors arrangement restructuring as a technique for NBTI degradation reduction shows satisfactory results, while does not restrict the use of other combined techniques.

Texto completoThe main goal of the dissertation was following: preparation of a new concept, implementation and analysis of the piezoelectric resonant sensor/actuator for measuring the aging process of human skin. The research work has been carried out in the framework of cooperation between the INP-ENSEEIHT-LAPLACE, Toulouse, France, and at the Gdansk University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering, Research Group of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines, Gdask, Poland. A concept of transducer for the characterization of mechanical properties of soft tissues was presented. The piezoelectric resonant, bending transducer, referred to as “unimorph transducer” was chosen from different topologies of piezoelectric benders based on the fulfillment of the stated requirements. The innovation of the project lies in the integration of the dynamic indentation method by using a unimorph as an indentation device. This allows the use of a number of attractive electromechanical properties of piezoelectric transducers. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 states the thesis and goals of the dissertation. Chapter 2 presents piezoelectric phenomenon and piezoelectric applications in the fields of medicine and bioengineering. Chapter 3 describes the requirements for the developed transducer. The choice of unimorph transducer is justified. Chapter 4 presents an analytical description of the unimorph transducer, including the calculations of static deformations, equivalent circuit description, and description of the contact conditions between the transducer and the tested materials. Chapter 5 contains the numerical analysis of the unimorph transducer using FEM virtual model. Results of static and modal simulations are described for two considered geometries of the transducer. Chapter 6 describes the experimental verification process of analytic and numerical models developed for unimorph transducer. The final chapter includes general conclusions concerning obtained research results and achievements, as well as possible future works. In order to verify the proposition of the thesis a full research cycle was carried out, that covered: analytical study, numerical analysis (FEM simulations), prototype realization, and experimental verification of the considered (developed) piezoelectric sensor/actuator structures

Texto completoThis thesis constitute one of the elements of the EMOCAVI research project (Evolution of the Large gAp Power Component Models during the VIeillissement). It deals with the study of the reliability of Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors which are recently appeared on the market. This work focuses on the realization of a methodology to parameterize the model of GaN GIT component (Gate Injection Transistor) according to the aging to which it has been subjected. To achieve this goal, it will be necessary to go through several steps. The first step was dedicated to the definition, implementation and validation of an aging bench for the component and the characterization of these components before and during aging. A low power repetitive short-circuit aging test bench was designed and implemented. This bench is used to validate the energy-related aging hypothesis, to identify its determining level from a point of view of the reliability of the component and finally to highlight the progressive degradation of the component in order to identify the parameters of the transistor which are the most sensitive to aging. The second step of our work was devoted to the establishment of a methodology to create the aging model for the GaN-GIT component. By reproducing the COBRA model presented in the literature, we have succeeded in our work in proposing an innovative approach to integrate the dependencies in temperature and energy suffered by the component during stress (the Tsc pulse duration and the number of pulse suffered Nsc). The last step of our work was dedicated to the physical failure analysis in order to confirm the hypothesis made on the degradation mechanisms obtained after aging of the component. To carry out these analyzes, we started with the de-capsulation of the component by combining the laser cutting with the chemical attacks of the resin constituting the packaging. Once the defect was localized by photoluminescence, an in-depth analysis by SEM scanning and then PFIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scans was performed to determine the mechanism of failure. These were mainly cracks in the Al metal at the drain and the presence of cavities in the metal layer which is used to make the Ohmic contact at the source, which explains the increase in resistance RDSON

Texto completoThe continuous scaling of transistor dimensions has increased the sensitivity of digital circuits to PVT variations and, more recently, to aging effects such as BTI and HCI. Large voltage guard bands, corresponding to worst-case operation, are thus necessary and leads to a considerable energy loss. Current solutions to increase energy efficiency are mainly based on Adaptive Voltage and Frequency Scaling (AVFS). However, as a reactive solution, it cannot anticipate the variation before it occurs. It has, thus, to be improved for handling long-term reliability issues. This thesis proposes a new methodology to generate simplified but nevertheless accurate models to estimate the circuit maximum operating frequency Fmax. A first model is created for the modelling of the propagation delay of the critical path(s) as a function of PVT variations. Both BTI/HCI effects are then modelled as a shift in the parameters of the first model. Built on the top of device-level models, it takes into account all factors that impact global aging, namely, circuit topology, workload, voltage and temperature variations. The proposed modelling approach is evaluated on two architectures implemented in 28nm FD-SOI technology. The models can be fed by temperature and voltage monitors. This allows an accurate assessment of the circuit Fmax evolution during its operation. However, these monitors are prone to aging. Therefore, an aging-aware recalibration method has been developed for a particular V T monitor. Examples of on-line applications are given. Finally, the models are used to simulate complex circuits under aging variations such a multi-core circuit and an AVFS system. This allows the evaluation of different strategies regarding performance, energy and reliability

Texto completoThe development of electronic embedded systems in aerospace application, spatial, or automotive is powered by increased performance, advanced integration and attractive prices, enabling manufacturers to offer technical solutions and economic competitiveness. However, this rapid evolution necessitates a questioning of permanent methods of designing embedded systems that must guarantee the control of behavior in severe environments. In particular, the control of electromagnetic compatibility "EMC" is importante of successful challenges of integration and evolution technology. This study describes the various stages of immunity modeling an analog integrated circuit, based on non-confidential technical information given by the manufacturer of the integrated circuit and models extraction of electrical printed circuit board. Our work provides a case study in the context of standard proposal "IEC" (International Electrotechnical Commission) under reference IEC-62433. Moreover, in this repport we show the impact of aging electronic components on EMC performance. Different types of technologies and integrated circuits are designed to provide a qualitative analysis on the evolution of EMC parameters after a period lifetime. We propose a methodology for qualification of the evolution of EMC margins under the name "electromagnetic reliability". This method, based on experimental methods and statistics, used to characterize the impact of the aging of electronics components on the EMC parameters. These works demonstrate the interest of introducing the factor "time effect" in our immunity models to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of our electronics systems throughout their mission profile

Texto completoThe improvement of power conversion systems makes SiC devices very attractive for efficiency, compacity and robustness. However, their behavior in response to short circuit mode must be carefulli studied to ensure the reliability of systems. This research work deals with the SiC MOSFET robustness and reliability issues under short-circuit constraints. It is based upon electrical and microstructural characterizations. The sum of all the characterizations before, during and after the robustness tests as well as microstructural analysis allow to define hypotheses regarding the physical origin of failure of such components. Also, caoacitance measurement is introduced during aging tests as a health indicator and a key tool to go back to the physical origin of the defect

Texto completoIn order to cope with environmental problems and climate change, electric vehicles (EVs) gain the ever booming development in recent years. From the point of view of energy storage, because of their high energy / power density and their extended lifespan, it is essentially the lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology which is the most used power unit for EVs. Doubtlessly, the reliability of LIBs is of vital importance for the development of EVs. To this end, this thesis is dedicated to the algorithmic development of battery state and parameter estimation as well as incipient short-circuit diagnosis. The battery state and parameter estimation, which can also be termed as battery monitoring, is a critical part in the so-called health conscious energy management strategy for electric or hybrid electric vehicle. Premature aging can be avoided through the accurate battery state estimation such as state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH). Furthermore, as the thermal runaway (TR) can be ultimately attributed to short-circuit (SC) electrical abuse, therefore, effective battery incipient SC detection can give an early warning of TR. The main contribution of this thesis lies in the theoretical and methodological aspects in the domain of battery monitoring and incipient SC diagnosis

Texto completoIntegrated circuits evolution is driven by the trend of increasing operating frequencies and downscaling of the device size, while embedding more and more complex functionalities in a single chip. However, the continuation of the device-scaling race generates a number of technology challenges. For instance, the downscaling of transistor channel lengths induce short-channel effects (drain-induced barrier lowering and punch-through phenomena); high electric field in the devices tend to increase Hot electron effect (or Hot Carrier) and Oxide Dielectric Breakdown; higher temperatures in IC products generates an increase of the Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) effect on pMOS devices. Today, it is considered that the above reliability mechanisms are ones of the main causes of circuit degradation performance in the field. This dissertation will address the Hot Carrier (HC) and NBTI impacts on CMOS product electrical performances. A CAD bottom-up approach will be proposed and analyzed, based on the Design–in Reliability (DiR) methodology. With this purpose, a detailed analysis of the NBTI and the HC behaviours and their impact at different abstraction level is provided throughout this thesis. First, a physical framework presenting the NBTI and the HC mechanisms is given, focusing on electrical parameters weakening of nMOS and pMOS transistors. Moreover, the main analytical HC and NBTI degradation models are treated in details. In the second part, the delay degradation of digital standard cells due to NBTI, HCI is shown; an in-depth electrical CAD analysis illustrates the combined effects of design parameters and HCI/NBTI on the timing performance of standard cells. Additionally, a gate level approach is developed, in which HC and NBTI mechanisms are individually addressed. The consequences of the degradation at system level are presented in the third part of the thesis. With this objective, data extracted from silicon measures are compared against CAD estimations on two complexes IPs fabricated on STCMOS 45nm technologies. It is expected that the findings of this thesis highly contribute to the understanding of the NBTI and HC reliability wearout mechanisms at the system level.STAR

This dissertation documents how healthy aging and Parkinson's disease (PD) affect brain anatomy and physiology and how these neural changes relate to measures of cognition and perception. While healthy aging and PD are both accompanied by a wide-range of cognitive impairments, the neural underpinnings of cognitive decline in each is likely mediated by deterioration of different systems. The four chapters of this dissertation address specific aspects of how healthy aging and PD affect the neural circuits that support sensory processes and high-level cognition. The experiments in Chapters 2 and 3 examine the effects of healthy aging on the integrity of neural circuits that modulate cognitive control processes. In Chapter 2, we test the hypothesis that the patterns of age-related change differ between white matter and gray matter regions, and that changes in the integrity of anterior regions correlate most strongly with performance on cognitive control tasks. In Chapter 3, we build upon the structural findings by examining the hypothesis that age-related changes in white matter integrity are associated with disrupted oscillatory dynamics observed during a visual search task. Chapter 4 investigates healthy age-related changes in somatosensory mu rhythms and evoked responses and uses a computational model of primary somatosensory cortex to predict the underlying cellular and neurophysiolgical bases of these alterations. In contrast to the widespread cortical changes seen in healthy OA, the cardinal motor symptoms of PD are largely explained by degeneration of the dopaminergic substantia nigra, pars compacta (SNc). Cognitive sequelae of PD, however, likely result from disruptions in multiple neurotransmitter systems, including nondopaminergic nuclei, but research on these aspects of the disease has been hindered by a lack of sensitive MRI biomarkers for the affected structures. Chapter 5 presents new multispectral MRI tools that visualize the SNc and the cholinergic basal forebrain (BF). We applied these methods to test the hypothesis that degenerative processes in PD affect the SNc before the BF. This experiment lays important groundwork for future studies that will examine the relative contribution of the SNc and BF to cognitive impairments in PD.

O trabalho documenta e analisa as novas formas de solidariedade intergeracional, considerando que nas sociedades contemporâneas as relações sociais se tornaram mais complexas à medida em que as estruturas social e familiar se reconfiguraram, alterando as formas de troca entre as gerações. A institucionalização do sistema de proteção social público ou da solidariedade pública concorreu para modificar a dinâmica do sistema de proteção social familiar ou das solidariedades primárias. Tomo como campo de análise o cotidiano das trocas vivenciadas por mulheres e homens idosos pertencentes às classes populares de Salvador, em contextos relacionais distintos, ou seja, aqueles que mantêm vínculos de solidariedade primária, representados por idosos/as moradores da comunidade/bairro, e aqueles que se encontram em situação limite entre a solidariedade primária, a solidariedade secundária ou pública e a prestada por estranhos, representados por idosos/as moradores/as de asilo público. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, a partir da observação direta, com registro sistemático das visitas em diário de campo, e entrevistas semi-estruturadas e abertas, feitas com trinta e um idosos/as, e seis profissionais vinculados à gestão pública da velhice. Considerando que a solidariedade familiar não é dada, mas construída na dinâmica das relações de troca e ainda que as políticas sociais do Estado afetam as relações familiares, concluo que as formas de solidariedade intergeracionais na atualidade vêm se configurando como um circuito de relações de interdependência entre a solidariedade pública e a primária, imprescindíveis uma à outra, conformando novas possibilidades de troca entre as gerações. This thesis is aimed at reporting and analyzing the new ways through which intergenerational solidarity takes place by taking into account the complexity of contemporary social relations as a result of the reshaping of social and family structures that alters the ways intergenerational exchanges occur. The institutionalization of the public protection system or the public solidarity has contributed to change the dynamics of the family’s social protection system or primary solidarity. The everyday exchanges among low-income elderly men and women in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil) comprise the field in which two distinctive relational contexts are analyzed, namely, the one presenting primary solidarity bonds, consisting of those elderly dwelling in communities/districts, and the one presenting a borderline situation among primary, secondary/public or provided-by-strangers kinds of solidarity, consisting of institutionalized elderly in public nursing homes. This is a qualitative study based on both direct observation, systematically recorded in field journals, and open-ended and semi-structured interviews carried out among thirty-one elderly subjects and seven practitioners dealing with the public management of the elderly population. Given that family solidarity is a social construct resulting from the dynamics of the exchange relations and that social governmental policies play a role in family relationships, the ways contemporary intergenerational solidarity occurs can be concluded to comprise a set of interdependent relations between public and primary kinds of solidarity, one being vital to the other, thus presenting new possibilities for interchange between generations.

Texto completoThis research work focuses on the electrothermal aging effect on the electromagnetic compatibility of power components based on silicon carbide SiC. It focuses on two major parts ; an experimental part and another more oriented modelization. Experimentally, this thesis studies the aging effect of SiC transistors used in static converters on the electromagnetic interferences EMI generated by these converters. The second part deals with the modeling of these transistors in order to emulate the effect of their aging on the EMI of the modules they compose. This step made it possible to validate the methodology developed for the simulation of the conducted EMI of a healthy SiC MOFSET at first and of an aged SiC MOSFET in a second time. Overall, this innovative modeling approach developed in this work helps the designers of static converters to predict the conducted EMI before and after aging without going through the measurement. This provides additional information on the evolution of the EMC signatures of such modules during its lifetime and thus to estimate the risk associated with the aging of the components

Complejos patrones espacio-temporales emergen a partir de interacciones de un núcleo estructural con dinámicas funcionales.

En esta tesis usamos un modelo computacional detallado para estudiar los factores clave en producir los patrones emergentes. Por primera vez, presentamos un modelo simplificado de la actividad cerebral en envejecimiento. También demostramos que la inclusión del desfase de transmisión en un modelo para grabaciones magnetoencefalográficas del estado en reposo maximiza el rendimiento del modelo. Para ello, aplicamos un modelo con una red de neuronas pulsantes (’spiking-neurons’) y con dinámicas oscilatorias. Además, proponemos adoptar una posición comparativa basada en los datos para descomponer el sistema en subredes.

The circuit controls stress and measurement times for accurate statistical characterization, making sure all the devices characterized have the same stress and recovery times. It significantly improves both area and measurement time. The circuit layout is laid out in the new 28nm node IMEC technology.

Texto completoIn spite of strong improvements in fuel cell design this last ten years, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell are still suffering of premature end of life. Failure of the heart of fuel cell, composed of membrane and catalysts, is commonly responsible for fuel cell shutdown. This work brings an original contribution in understanding membrane degradation mechanisms. Different ageing tests were analyzed, in laboratory as well as in real life operating conditions (up to 13000 hours of solicitations). Within a multi-scale approach, from macroscopic to microscopic, and with a systematic usage (hundreds of samples fully characterized), some degradation mechanisms were established. Firstly, macroscopic tools were specifically developed to rapidly track state of health of all the cells from each stack. With the help of these tools, we were able to identify defects inter and intra-cell. It was also possible to discriminate between gas crossover or electronic short-circuit defects, both responsible for current leaks. This systematic approach on each samples put forward some specific areas within the membrane where degradation was promoted. Secondly, physico-chemical characterizations were performed on membrane targeted areas. It was shown that membrane degradation is strongly localized in some specific channels of the bipolar plates and favored by specific operating conditions in the gaz inlets areas

Texto completoApproaching their ultimate limits, silicon technologies are affected by various problems that make more difficult further miniaturization technology. These problems relate particularly to power dissipation, parametric yield (affected by the variation of process parameters of manufacturing, supply voltage and temperature), and reliability (affected by these changes as well as the accelerated aging, interference and soft-errors). This thesis deals with the development and implementation of fault tolerant architectures and dedicated self-calibration and validation of their ability to mitigate the problems mentioned above

Texto completoScaling of classical CMOS technology provides an increase in performance of digital circuits owing to the possibility of incorporation of additional circuit components within the same silicon area. 28nm FDSOI technology from ST Microelectronics is an innovative scaling strategy maintaining a planar transistor structure and thus provide better performance with no increase in silicon chip fabrication costs for low power applications. It is important to ensure that the increased functionality and performance is not at the expense of decreased reliability, which can be ensured by meeting the requirements of international standards like ISO26262 for critical applications in the automotive and industrial settings. Semiconductor companies, to conform to these standards, are thus required to exhibit the capabilities for reliability estimation at the design conception stage most of which, currently, is done only after a digital circuit has been taped out. This work concentrates on Aging of standard cells and digital circuits with time under the influence of NBTI degradation mechanism for a wide range of Process, Voltage and Temperature (PVT) variations and aging compensation using backbiasing. One of the principal aims of this thesis is the establishment of a reliability analysis infrastructure consisting of software tools and gate level aging model in an industrial framework for failure rate estimation of digital circuits at the design conception stage for circuits developed using ST 28nm FDSOI technology

Benefits from the latest downscaling technology and the flexibility of the FPGAs architecture, allow to develop a new low cost test bench to assess reliabilty depending on the operation condition. This test bench can be implemented on up to 32 FPGAs ans monitored in real time by a supervisory software we developed in this work. We have characterized the delay degradation of LUT depending on the duty cycle and the frequency of stress vectors. We have identified also that the duty cycle affects strongly the fall and moderately the rise delay of LUT due to the NBTI aging mechanisme, while HCI affects both delays. Furthermore, two semiempirical models of the degradation of LUT timing due to NBTI and HCI are proposed in this work. Moreover, we analyzed the influence of threshokd voltage and the mobility of transistor on the timing degradation of LUT using the simulation model of transistor. Finally a model of degradationof LUT taking into account the supposed LUT architecture has been proposed. This work is edeal to model the degradation of FPGA at gate level

Texto completoThis sociology thesis focuses on recent pension reforms in France between the 1970s and 1990s. The last reform favorable to retirees dates back to 1983, when the retirement age was lowered from 65 to 60. In 1993, the first reform unfavorable to retirees took place with an increase in the contribution period, the length of the average annual salary and price indexation.From a sociological perspective of controversies, public policies, statistics and justifications, this work proposes a return to the pension reforms between the 1970s and 1990s, based on a cross-analysis of archives from trade unions (CFDT and CGT), administrations (Social Security and Budget Departments, Ministry of Social Affairs and the Economy) and employers (UIMM and CNPF). Different struggles between actors concerning the problematization of pensions and the organization of the financial circuit of the Social Security are thus studied.The thesis is in dialogue with the literature on the history of social security and the social state. It proposes to approach social security and its policies from an approach combining the study of problematizations, financial circuits and strategies of actors.The thesis defends a main result: employment policies framed the content of pension policies between the mid-1970s and 1993. During the 1970s, pensions and early retirements were gradually used to take older people out of the labour force. From 1983 onwards, the adoption of the policy of competitive disinflation led to a compression of pension expenditure and the removal of the contribution rate from the legitimate parameters of the reforms. This thesis therefore proposes a history of pension reforms that gives more prominence to employment policies than the usual narratives centred on the aging of the population. The reversal of pensions between reforms favourable to retirees and those unfavourable to them can thus be understood in the light of the shift in employment policies.Other results are also presented in this work. They concern the link between statistics and reforms, the problematization of pensions, the uses of "contributivity" and the construction of financial circuits

Texto completoWith the continuous trend towards nanoscale technology and increased integration of complex electronic functions in embedded systems, ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic systems is a great challenge. EMC has become a major cause of IC redesign. Meanwhile, ICs performance could be affected by the degradation mechanisms such as hot carrier injection (HCI), negative bias temperature instability(NBTI), gate oxide breakdown, which are accelerated by the harsh operation conditions (high/low temperature, electrical overstress, radiation). This natural aging can thus affect EMC performances of ICs. The work developed in our laboratory aims at clarifying the link between ageing induced IC degradations and related EMC drifts, developing prediction models and proposing “time insensitive” EMC protection structures, in order to provide methods and guidelines to IC and equipment designers to ensure EMC during lifetime of their applications. This research topic is still under-explored as research communities on “IC reliability” and “IC electromagnetic compatibility” has often no overlap. The PhD manuscript introduced a methodology to quantify the effect of ageing on EMC of ICs by measurement and simulation. The first chapter gives an overview of the general context and the second chapter states the EMC of ICs state of the art and IC reliability issues. The experimental results of ICs EMC evolution are presented in the third chapter. Then, the fourth chapter is dedicated to the characterization and modeling IC degradation mechanism. An EMR model which includes the ageing element to predict our test chip’s EMC level drift after stress is proposed

Texto completoThis thesis deals with the design and testing of the first self-adaptive nanoscale CMOS circuits dedicated to automotive, avionics and aerospace applications, under high stress environment because they are subject to the trade-off between speed (performance), consumption (Low Power) and aging (Wearout). Innovative solutions have been developed with dynamic control loops to optimize the consumption of the various elements (design level) and blocks (system), while ensuring their smooth operation. Validation of solutions has been achieved step by step in the design chain, focusing first on the development of a first demonstrator in 40nm CMOS (M40) technology for automotive applications from STMicroelectronics. Various ways of anticipating errors were compared by retaining the IS2M (adjustable time window) delay detection in critical paths as the most efficient for optimization solutions. A theoretical modeling of the control loops has resulted in a simulation tool based on time discrete Markov chains (DTMC). This modeling was successfully confronted with silicon measurements demonstrating that the solutions selected offered a reduction in the power consumed by 2 with equal performance and reliability. In the last part, the high-level hierarchical modeling was applied on several systems / products of 28nm FDSOI CMOS nodes (28FD), in order to validate the relevance of the dynamic adaptation (D-ABB) in supply and face voltages. (VDD, VB). This allowed to prove the validity of the complete methodology by arriving at the precise statistical prediction of the reliability integrating the whole performance-consumption value chain using the advanced simulations

Texto completoThe first objective of the HYBUS project is to integrate a supercapacitor storage system in a trolleybus in order to ensure the continuity of onboard electrical systems supply. The aim is to integrate an energy storage system, composed by a huge number of supercapacitors, for the recovery of the braking energy of trolleybus and allow autonomy for several meters. Our work concerns the study of the lifetime of the storage system. Several accelerated aging tests on supercapacitors were developed in the AMPERE aboratory. These tests have shown that as far as ageing are concerned; the cycling is the major responsible. However, these changes are partially reversible during the rest time when regeneration phenomena are observed. A method based on the observed damage during cycling and the damage after regeneration, leads to a formal equation for the evolution of internal parameters of supercapacitors. An endurance test of complete storage systems was also performed in the laboratory. Experimental results show the heterogeneity of aging due to the existence of significant temperature gradients between components. As a result, a new balancing strategy to equalize the lifetime of each supercapacitors has been developed. In conclusion, our study has contributed to a better comprehension and evaluation of supercapacitors aging in order to improve the lifetime of this type of energy storage system. A method for the estimation of the supercapacitor lifetime has been also proposed

Texto completoOne important objective of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) studies is to make the products compliant with the EMC requirement of the customers or the standards. However, all the EMC compliance verifications are applied before the delivery of final products. So we might have some new questions about the EMC performance during their lifetime. Will the product still be EMC compliant in several years? Can a product keep the same EMC performance during its whole lifetime? If not, how long the EMC compliance can be maintained? The study of the long-term EMC level, which is called “electromagnetic robustness”, appeared in the recent years. Past works showed that the degradation caused by aging could induce failures of electronic system, including a harmful evolution of electromagnetic compatibility. In this study, the long-term evolution of the EMC levels of two electronic component groups has been studied. The first electronic component type is the integrated circuit. The high-frequency currents and voltages during the switching activities of ICs are responsible for unintentional emissions or coupling. Besides, ICs are also very often the victim of electromagnetic interference. Another group of components is the passive component. In an electronic system, the IC components usually work together with the passive components at PCB level. The functions of passive components in an electronic system, such as filtering and decoupling, also have an important influence on the EMC levels.In order to analyze the long-term evolution of the EMC level of the electronic components, the study in this thesis tends to propose general predictive methods for the electromagnetic compatibility levels of electronic components which evolve with time

Texto completoThis manuscript is a contribution to reliability and robustness study of MOSFET components on silicon carbide “SiC”, wide band gap semiconductor with better characteristics compared to silicon “Si” material. Those new power switches can provide better switching frequencies or voltage withstanding for example in power converter. SiC MOSFET are the results of approximately 10 years of research and development and can provide increased performances and weight to some converter topology for high voltage direct current networks. Others power switches available are still introduced and an introduction to reliability is explaining why such work on this new power switches is important. Transition from Si technologies to SiC ones require a lot of work regarding its robustness. Before showing reliability and robustness results is presented I give a lot of details regarding to the measurement and monitoring of key parameters used in the next chapters. The results of our tests on the threshold voltage instability are presented and how we validated an empirical model on this drift. This was used to propose an enhanced measurement protocol on the threshold voltage. Static and dynamic experimental results presented next will show if the voltage drift during ageing is significant or not. Further analysis is proposed to add more insight on the understanding of the oxide degradation mechanisms through C-V and charge pumping measurements. Finally, the ageing results presented on 1,7 kV SiC MOSFET are focused on the short-circuit and repetitive short-circuit behavior of the same components. Drain to source voltage influence on critical energy during this particular and stressful operation mode is studied. This time, the results are worrying.The last chapter is confidential

Texto completoThanks to technical advances in terms of weight, performance and reliability, synchronous machines are increasingly used in the transport field and especially in aeronautics. The maintenance strategies of these electrical systems are essential to avoid extra costs associated with unscheduled downtime. This document offers a study on the intermittent inter-turn fault occurring in the stator winding of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) and its consequences. This type of fault correspond to the emerging state for a future permanent short circuit condition. So far, studies have been limited to the detection of continuous inter-turn short circuits. The main purpose of this analysis is to define a detection method for this type of fault easy to implement. Based on the stator current analytical study of a PMSM current controlled in presence of intermittent short circuit, we had studied the impact of different variables influencing the current disturbance. We had found that the shape of the disturbance created by the fault was always the same and that it was the fault signature in the current signal. Later this analytical study was validated experimentally. In the next part we had studied the sensitivity of continuous short circuits detection methods applied in the case of intermittent short circuit. These methods have been proved unsuitable to detect the defect studied in this work. Therefore, we had proposed a dedicated method based on the fault signature identification using an adapted wavelet transform. It is a pattern detection method able to detect the intermittent fault and to distinguish it from other types of defects. The performance of the method was validated by simulation and experimental results. In the last part, a more general study concerning the winding health monitoring is proposed. It uses transfer functions and it is based on the monitoring over time of the winding high frequencies admittance curves evolution

Texto completoPartial discharges (PD) are one of the key drivers of degradation and ageing of insulating materials used in high-voltage switchgear. Consequently, partial discharges measurement has become an essential assessment tool for the monitoring of insulation systems. Given the continuing growth of renewable energy, the transport under direct current (DC) is economically advantageous. However, the relationship between partial discharges characteristics and the degradation of cables insulation under high voltage direct current (HVDC) remains unclear. In this work, a methodology is proposed for ageing state recognition of electrical insulation systems based on PD measurements under DC. For this purpose, original measuring devices have been developed and PD measurements were performed within different cable types under HVDC. In order to ensure a reliable monitoring and diagnosis of the insulation, noise signals must be eliminated. This thesis tackles the problem of the discrimination of partial discharge and noise signals acquired in different environments by applying machine learning methods. The techniques developed are a promising tool to improve the diagnosis of HV equipment under HVDC, where the need to discard automatically noise signals with high accuracy is of great importance. Once disturbances were eliminated from the databases, ageing state recognition was performed on different cable types. The feature extraction, ranking and selection methods, combined with classification techniques allowed to obtain recognition rates up to 100%

Circuit performance has been a key design constraint for over a decade. Time borrowing/stealing of clock tree/network optimization was proposed for improving the overall performance in terms of clock period. In addition, aging effects reveal themselves as gate delays increase, which cause circuit timing changed. In this paper, we propose to improve performance of a sequential circuit for specific circuit lifetime. The proposed methodology is to tolerant aging by inserting reliability improvement units – duty cycle con-verters (DCCs) into the clock tree of a sequential circuit. DCCs control the aging-induced clock skew (AICS) by manipulating Bias Temperature Insta-bility (BTI)-induced aging behavior of clock buffers in clock tree/network. By the technique of time borrowing/stealing, circuit performance can be im-proved by lowering the clock period of the sequential circuit. Our objective is to improve clock period by time borrowing/stealing taking advantage of AICS. A lifetime spec (e.g. 10 years) and the aging model of a circuit are given. Furthermore, we try to add the work of clock buffer duplications and considering paths which connect to input port or output port.

Background: In the process of aging involves many domains, including changes in brain structures. Aging results in declined efficiency of signal transmission on neural network, and it may further impact on functional performance. Many lines of evidence suggested that premotor cortex, prefrontal cortex and supplementary motor area have increased activity while walking. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy can detect the changes of oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration while conducting dynamic tasks. Increasing oxygenated hemoglobin or decreasing deoxygenated hemoglobin is the predictor of cortical activity. Furthermore, turning is an important functional ambulation task in our daily living. Past studies mostly investigated on motor analysis. There are still unclear about cortical activity while turning. Turning is a complicate and difficult walking task. It needs sufficient coordination of whole body and balance control. As a result, turning may evoke higher cortical activation to accomplish the motion. However, it is still unknown about the effects of aging induced brain changes on turning performance. Purpose: To investigate aging induced changes in brain structure and aging Effect on cortical activity while circuit turning. Methods: Twenty-five healthy young adults and eighteen healthy older adults were recruited in the present study. All participants had to perform three tasks, including straight walking, clockwise circuit turning, and counter-clockwise circuit turning with both comfortable walking speed and the fastest speed. Brain activation was measured during walking and turning using functional near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor the hemodynamic response over bilateral premotor areas, prefrontal areas and supplementary motor areas. Gait parameters including speed and cadence were also collected. T1 weighted image and diffused tensor image was collect by 3T Siemens Tim trio magnetic resonance scanner for quantifying gray matter volume and integrity of white matter. Statistical analysis: Data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software. Independent-t test or Chi-square test was used to compare the basic data of participants. The significant level was set at 0.05. The comparison of turning effect to changes on cortical activity on each channel was analyzed by independent-t sample test and Bonferroni correction was used to adjust the significant level to 0.0035. Independent-t test was used to analyze gait parameters. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Result: Gray matter volume of older adults over bilateral frontal lobes, precentral cortexs and middle cingulate gyrus was significant less than that of young adults. The older adults have relatively less change value of deoxygenated hemoglobin than young adults over right prefrontal cortex and bilateral premotor cortex while clockwise circuit turning with comfortable speed. The older adults have relatively less change value of deoxygenated hemoglobin than young adults over the right prefrontal cortex, bilateral premotor cortex and left supplementary motor areas while counter-clockwise circuit turning with comfortable speed. In the fastest speed, turning evoke relatively higher cortical activity changes over bilateral premotor cortex, bilateral supplementary motor areas in the young adults. While conducting counter-clockwise turning with the fastest speed, older adults have less changes on speed comparing with young adults. Conclusion: Turning evoked relatively higher cortical activity over prefrontal cortex, supplementary motor area and premotor cortex among young adults. The older adults have decreased gray matter volume which may lead to inability to evoke higher cortical activity while turning.

As devices continue to shrink, the process variation and aging effects have increasing impacts on the circuit yield and reliability, particularly for analog circuits. If those non-ideal effects can be considered in early design stages, the re-design and re-spin costs can be significantly reduced. Traditional simulation-based methods to deal with the problems can achieve a high accuracy, but the simulation cost is very expensive. Thus, a new simulation-based analysis method that considers the process variation and aging effects is proposed, which can keep the cost at a reasonable scale while maintaining high accuracy. First, the delta circuit model is improved with a set of basic delta devices for circuit simulation. By using the delta circuit model, simulation speed can be improved automatically due to the dynamic step control in transient analysis. In order to further improve the efficiency while combining the delta circuit model and QMC sampling, a cluster-based delta-QMC technique is proposed in this dissertation to reduce the delta change in each sample. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can increase simulation speed by two orders of magnitude with almost the same accuracy, which significantly improves the efficiency of yield analysis. Second, an incremental simulation technique based on delta model is proposed to improve the simulation speed of lifetime yield analysis while maintaining the analysis accuracy. Because aging is often a gradual process, the proposed incremental technique is effective for reducing the simulation time. For yield analysis with degraded performance, this incremental technique also reduces the simulation time because each sample is the same circuit with small parameter changes in the Monte Carlo analysis. When the proposed dynamic aging sampling technique is employed, 50X speedup can be obtained with maximum estimation error of 1%, which considerably improves the efficiency of lifetime yield analysis.
