| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research deals with a circuit evaluation technology to manufacture low-cost analog integrated circuits, typically, an instrumentation amplifier that it measures small analog signals for a variety of environmental sensors. In details, in order to reproduce the manufacturability without chip fabrication, we established a methodology to evaluate the manufacturability of instrumentation amplifiers with respect to their performances introducing statistical simulation considering the layout dependence of the transistors inside the chip. Besides, for the purpose of a systematic evaluation of the methodology, we developed a prototype of a small sensor with the instrumentation amplifier, and revealed the sensor had practical quality from the viewpoint of the communication quality with the sensing accuracy.
