[BIRCK NANOTECHNOLOGY CENTER][http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/resources/toolkit/files/logo/di…] UltraPure Water System Will undergoing an ion exchange replacement during the holidays and the water will be out of specification for several days. We are attempting to keep the pumps working but the dissolved Silica levels will be elevated, which WILL cause rings and water spotting on wafer surfaces. The level of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) will also be elevated, which has the potential of surface contamination. Please be aware of this and use the water sparingly, and at your own risk. These conditions will exist between 8:00 am on December 28 through noon on January 2.

Dr. Shimpei Ono Seminar - Monday, Dec. 4th @ 3:00pm in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Dr. Shimpei Ono Seminar DECEMBER 4, 2017 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM BRK 2001 "Development of iontronics" BIO: Dr. Shimpei Ono is working at Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry as senior research scientist and has been involved for the last 10 years in the research of novel electronics with ionic liquids. He is also a visiting professor at the University of Grenoble Alps within the framework of Chair of Excellence program with LANEF. ABSTRACT: Electric field control of charge carrier density has long been a key technology to tune the physical properties of condensed matter, exploring the modern semiconductor industry. One of the big challenges is to increase the maximum attainable carrier density, however it is limited by the quality of gate dielectrics. In this talk, I'm going to show the novel technique to modulate carrier density making use of ionic liquid electrolytes. With electrolyte gating, we can modulate up to 10^15/cm2 of carrier density at the interface which is 2 orders of magnitude larger than conventional gate dielectrics and demonstrate that we can indeed control metal-to-insulator and ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition by electric-field effect doping. I also will show our recent progress (energy harvester and light emitting device) using ionic liquid electrolytes.

Kenle Chen Seminar - Friday, Dec. 1st @ 2:00pm in WANG 3043
by Turner, Jaime J 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Kenle Chen Seminar DECEMBER 1, 2017 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM WANG 3043 Demystify RF Front-End: Recent Advances and Future Trends Toward 5G Bio: Dr. Kenle Chen earned Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 2013. He is currently an Assistant Professor with Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering Department, University of Rhode Island. Prior to his current position, he worked as a Staff RFIC Engineer with Skyworks Solutions from 2015-2017, where he focused on development of RF frontend modules for the emerging Smart-Phone platforms. From 2013 to 2015, he worked as Principal/Lead RFIC Engineer with innovational startups, where he led the Research & Development of multiple successful products of CMOS integrated power amplifiers and frontend solutions for the latest WLAN platforms, e.g., IEEE802.11ac/ax. As a graduate researcher at Purdue University from 2008 to 2013, he made significant contributions in high-efficiency broadband power amplifiers and co-design of reconfigurable RF circuits for smart communication systems. Dr. Chen was a recipient of 2012 IEEE MTT-S graduate fellowship. He was the winner of the High Efficiency Power Amplifier Design Competition in IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) from 2011 to 2012, consecutively. He is an active reviewer for more than 10 international journals including IEEE T-MTT, T-BCAS, T-CAS I/II, MWCL, etc. Abstract: In the past decade, the explosive growth of mobile wireless applications has triggered insatiable demand for high data rate of wireless communication, reflected by a tremendous increase of data transmission speed from kbit/s level (2G) to sub-Gbit/s level (4G). Such a data-centric ecosystem has been the major driven force behind the evolution of wireless radio technology. Within the scope of this seminar, I will present the latest advances of radio frontend (RFFE) technology in wireless industry, including the state-of-the-art RFFE architectures in emerging mobile platforms, demystification of RFFE terminology, carrier aggregation, and envelope tracking. Moreover, this talk will overview the general trends and major challenges in RFFE development towards future generations (e.g., 5G). It is clearly envisioned that the future wireless communication will exploit a massively extended spectrum up to millimeter wave range, targeting for order(s)-of-magnitude improvement of speed, latency, capacity, etc. As a key enabler to this evolution, next-generation RFFE modules will call for ultra-high linearity, wideband, high efficiency and ultimate flexibility. Moreover, integration of RFFE on Silicon together with other functional blocks is also highly desirable, truly enabling the concept of System-On-Chip (SOC).
