Near-infrared spectroreflectometry (NIRS) is a non-invasive technique of monitoring human brain function. In particular, a near-infrared (NIR) light emitting source is placed on the surface of the head and the intensity of the reflected light is detected at a distance of 2-5 cm by a photodetector. The fraction of the incident light photons survive to return to photodetector are strongly attenuated (7-9 orders of magnitude) by the biological tissues. Accordingly, the photodetector requires to be highly sensitive, enabling the reliable conversion of the very low amplitude light signal into a detectable current signal. Conventional silicon photodiodes do not have enough sensitivity to detect very small signals. Silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) is a potential candidate for low level light detection due to its ability to amplify the photocurrent by avalanche multiplication of photo generated carriers. It will be compact and cost-effective to integrate APDs and other electronic circuits of an NIRS front-end receiver on the same chip using standard CMOS process. The main challenge associated with fabrication of APDs in a standard CMOS process is designing an appropriate guard ring to prevent the breakdown due to creation of a high-field region at the photodiode periphery. To circumvent the problem mentioned above, optimization of silicon APDs is necessary so that they can be integrated with rest of the electronics. |

| RF bandpass sigma delta modulator for software defined radio applications | |
This project regards to a new bandpass delta modulator designed specifically for multi-GHz signals applicable in advanced radio receivers in CMOS 0.13µm technology. Current trend in the radio receivers is to remove any analog components between ADC and antenna to relax design and improving multi-tasking and programmability (software-defined-radio). The received signals from LNA are down-converted to low-IF and digitized when the data are carried by a 2-GHz carrier (WCDMA standard in mobile communication system). Implementation of this project includes sample and hold, fast comparators, PLL, analog bandpass filters, linear integrators, and digital filters. |

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder that is characterized by a tendency to recurrent seizures. Many patients with epilepsy remain poor candidates for surgery involving resection of epileptogenic tissue. Alternative treatments are able to suppress seizures of the epilepsy patients, such as brain stimulation. The available techniques of brain stimulation (cerebellar stimulation) have not been encouraging. However, recent success of vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has reported in the literatures and it offers support for the electrophysiologic treatment of epilepsy. Unilateral stimulation of the infraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve led to a reduction in electrographic seizure activity of up to 78% and bilateral trigeminal stimulation is even more effective. The lesioned locus coeruleus has a critical structure involved in the anticonvulsant mechanisms of vagus nerve stimulation. Some seizure patients had undergone chronic cerebellar stimulation and overall, 85% patients benefitted. Direct electrical stimulation of the seizure focus may also be effective in the treatment of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Objective of our research is mainly for the aid of the people who are suffering for epilepsy. Some remarkable studies of the patients have reported in the literatures. We investigate the existing studies and invent a microelectronics implantable device that provides new effective treatment of the patients. For example, we find the success of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in the literatures and DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in movement disorder may serve as a model for the development of DBS for epilepsy. The seizures of patients develop in an organized manner over a period of time and the propagation proceeds alone physiologic and anatomic pathway. Thus, it is easy to see that including a depolarization blockade in a pathway by STN stimulation might be effective in blocking seizure development. An implantable system can be able to monitor the patient, identify seizure activities and provide sequences of therapies. Such system may include a microcontroller, waveform analyzer, sensor, electrodes, reservoir, pump and catheter. The system can provide communication to external devices, use relatively low power for long time and even it can be charged by external device. |

The field of implantable brain-machine interface (BMI) is an emerging research activity. Remarkable progress is reported at most bioelectronic levels, but the electrode-tissue contacts (ETCs) remain one of the major obstacles. The contacts achieved using microelectrode arrays (MEAs) do not comply with remaining parts of these BMIs due to the biological response to chronic implantation and also electronic properties of MEAs. Our objectives in this project consist of elaborating effective MEAs with selectivity, biocompatibility, long-term chemical and recording stability, sensitivity, and good electric characteristics. Various types of silicon-based MEAs, fabricated by thin-film techniques, still lack the required high-density, low-impedance and low-power consumption necessary for ETCs and requested by implantable stimulators. By focusing on these aspects, high-density and low-impedance multi-electrode arrays will be designed and implemented.
