1. What is Tape Out
Milestone in the hardware design circle in integrated circuits (ICs).
Origin: the design file was written to a tape, sent out to fab for production
Currently: entirely digital, final steps before fabrication.
Meaning: substantial investment of time and resources
1.1. Other Important Event
Feasibility study
Requirement Specification
Architecture design
Detailed Design
Simulation
Tape out
First Silicon and Validation
2. Corn Type, fruit, sweet, crispy
Type:
- Sweet corn, most common in USA, high sugar content
- Field corn, more common in other parts of the world
- used for animal feed, cornmeal, industrial
- Waxy corn, popular in East Asia, give it a sticky, glutinous texture
3. Diabetes
Type
- Type 1: autoimmune reaction destroy insulin-producing cells, require lifelong insulin injections 2. Type 2: body become resistant to insulin, managed through diet
Symptoms
- Frequent urination
- Extreme thirst
- Fatigue
- Cuts long time to heal
Avoid:
- Healthy diet
- Workout
- Weight management
- Regualr check up
4. Stacked Sensor
Propertiees
- higher readout speed
- lower noise
- HDR
Why: traditional sensor and circuitry compete for space
How: separates the photodiodes from the readout circuitry by stacking in layer.
- free up space for more advanced circuitry
5. How Many Blood
How many? 7-8% of body weight
How to measure? radiolabeled albumin
- a known volume and concentration of albumin is injected 2. measure the albumin level after mix
- How long? generally 10-15 minutes
6. How is Paper Tissue made
Paper tissue
- Pulping, wood chips broken down
- Cleaning
- Forming
- Pressing
- Drying
- Cutting
How strong? Decided by
- Raw material, long fiber result in stronger tissue
- Manufacturing process: chemical pulping result stronger
