Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An integrated power-on reset circuit comprises a resistor and a capacitor, wherein the resistor is arranged to pass a current by quantum tunneling in order to charge the capacitor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An integrated power-on reset circuit comprising a resistor and a capacitor, wherein the resistor is a field-effect transistor with a gate dielectric layer thickness of around 5 nanometers or less and is arranged to pass a current to the capacitor by quantum tunneling of charge through said gate dielectric layer in order to charge the capacitor, and wherein the circuit is an integrated power-on reset circuit and is arranged to output a reset signal when…
