From the editor
We marvel at the wonders that technical
developments are br inging us ndash a result of the engineers who understand how to develop new ways to solve problems and create value in our world Sometimes wersquore moving so fast that we donrsquot stop to appreciate the developers whorsquove been key ini t iators of the technology
We had a chance last Thursday to recognize three such people The Si l icon Val ley Engineering Counci l (SVEC) held i ts Engineers Week banquet at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara induct ing three engineers into the Si l icon Val ley Hal l of Fame
Dr Paul Baran an IEEE Li fe Fel low was recognized as the inventor of digi tal packet-switching whi le he was at RAND in 1960 Who would have known that this mi l i tary replacement for the faul t- intolerant telephone switched-circuit topography would turn into the Internet that we know and love
Dr Bradford W Parkinson of Stanford Universi ty was the chief architect of GPS created again for the mi l i tary but with dual-use bui l t into i t As he notes there are perhaps 100 mil l ion people who now use the GPS system in one way or another As the new cel l phones rol l out this number should r ise to over a bi l l ion
Dr James Spi lker Jr a lso at Stanford Universi ty developed the f i rst GPS receivers at his company Stanford Telecommunicat ions Such receivers now can be had for less than $5
And i t wasnrsquot al l ldquo looking backrdquo last Thursday as a number of scholarships were awarded to graduat ing high school seniors and current col lege students I t rsquos good to see us passing the torch (and the chal lenges) to the next generat ion

Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

From the editor
We marvel at the wonders that technical
developments are br inging us ndash a result of the engineers who understand how to develop new ways to solve problems and create value in our world Sometimes wersquore moving so fast that we donrsquot stop to appreciate the developers whorsquove been key ini t iators of the technology
We had a chance last Thursday to recognize three such people The Si l icon Val ley Engineering Counci l (SVEC) held i ts Engineers Week banquet at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara induct ing three engineers into the Si l icon Val ley Hal l of Fame
Dr Paul Baran an IEEE Li fe Fel low was recognized as the inventor of digi tal packet-switching whi le he was at RAND in 1960 Who would have known that this mi l i tary replacement for the faul t- intolerant telephone switched-circuit topography would turn into the Internet that we know and love
Dr Bradford W Parkinson of Stanford Universi ty was the chief architect of GPS created again for the mi l i tary but with dual-use bui l t into i t As he notes there are perhaps 100 mil l ion people who now use the GPS system in one way or another As the new cel l phones rol l out this number should r ise to over a bi l l ion
Dr James Spi lker Jr a lso at Stanford Universi ty developed the f i rst GPS receivers at his company Stanford Telecommunicat ions Such receivers now can be had for less than $5
And i t wasnrsquot al l ldquo looking backrdquo last Thursday as a number of scholarships were awarded to graduat ing high school seniors and current col lege students I t rsquos good to see us passing the torch (and the chal lenges) to the next generat ion

Speaker Jerry Lee MwT Time Pizza and drinks at 630 PM Presentation

Seely Avenue San Jose RSVP not required Web wwwewhieeeorgr6scvcas
Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Sean Cahill is currently VP of Technology at BridgeWave Communications where he is working on next-generation millimeter-wave systems Sean graduated with dual BS degrees in ECESignals and Systems and Biochemistry Biophysics from UC Davis and MSEESolid State Physics from UC Santa Barbara where he fabricated some of the first surface micromachined MOEMS (Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems) Over his 18 years in industry Sean has worked for numerous research and product development companies focused on microfabrication technologies
He started out at Exxon Research working on flat panel displays based on electrophoresis At NovaSensor he was primarily responsible for novel devices such as microrelays force rebalanced accelerometers vibrating beam pressure sensors and ionelectron beam lithography mask membranes At Teknekron Sensor Development Sean managed the Micromachining group supporting the companys efforts in pioneering chemical and biosensor platforms as well as developing novel mechanical sensors and microstructures Examples of such devices include a microheater used for catalytic gas sensing NDIR gas sensors high dynamic range capacitive pressure sensors SFM (scanning force microscope) probe tips which were the sharpest available and frequency selective earthquake detectors
After co-founding two product-based MEMS startups Sean was recruited by Maxim Integrated Products to establish their MEMS fabrication facility and helped create their patented media-compatible pressure sensor technology Sean has served in consulting advisory and board member capacities at several Silicon Valley MEMS companies He holds 21 US Patents for micromachined devices addressing many industries including automotive process control semiconductor medical and communications fields
Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

A Technology Enabler for High Efficiency Amplifier Applications
Speaker Jerry Lee MwT Time Pizza and drinks at 630 PM Presentation

Seely Avenue San Jose RSVP not required Web wwwewhieeeorgr6scvcas
Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save
power and reduce demand Please join us to meet your local utility representatives and get up to date on new programs We will have a short presentation from representatives from PGampE Silicon Valley Power and The City of Palo Alto Following will be a panel discussion as well as question and answer period

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Sean Cahill is currently VP of Technology at BridgeWave Communications where he is working on next-generation millimeter-wave systems Sean graduated with dual BS degrees in ECESignals and Systems and Biochemistry Biophysics from UC Davis and MSEESolid State Physics from UC Santa Barbara where he fabricated some of the first surface micromachined MOEMS (Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems) Over his 18 years in industry Sean has worked for numerous research and product development companies focused on microfabrication technologies
He started out at Exxon Research working on flat panel displays based on electrophoresis At NovaSensor he was primarily responsible for novel devices such as microrelays force rebalanced accelerometers vibrating beam pressure sensors and ionelectron beam lithography mask membranes At Teknekron Sensor Development Sean managed the Micromachining group supporting the companys efforts in pioneering chemical and biosensor platforms as well as developing novel mechanical sensors and microstructures Examples of such devices include a microheater used for catalytic gas sensing NDIR gas sensors high dynamic range capacitive pressure sensors SFM (scanning force microscope) probe tips which were the sharpest available and frequency selective earthquake detectors
After co-founding two product-based MEMS startups Sean was recruited by Maxim Integrated Products to establish their MEMS fabrication facility and helped create their patented media-compatible pressure sensor technology Sean has served in consulting advisory and board member capacities at several Silicon Valley MEMS companies He holds 21 US Patents for micromachined devices addressing many industries including automotive process control semiconductor medical and communications fields
Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Speaker Jerry Lee MwT Time Pizza and drinks at 630 PM Presentation

Seely Avenue San Jose RSVP not required Web wwwewhieeeorgr6scvcas
Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Dr Christie Marrian is Sr Manager of the
Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Seely Avenue San Jose RSVP not required Web wwwewhieeeorgr6scvcas
Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

After earning an electronics degree from North
Carolina Mike Harris became a QA Engineer with CP Clare a maker of electromechanical relays and stepping switches He then learned about compliance at Square D a maker of industrial controls There Mike built and operated a hydrogen-air explosion testing facility where UL witnessed certification tests
As QC Manager at Bell Aerospace in Buffalo Mike was involved with developments from hybrid microcircuits to satellite steering motors navigation gyros and gravity gradiometers as well as aircushion vehicles big enough to carry large trucks
There are many reasons to begin thinking Green
when involved in electrical power design Theres money to be made when designing Green - for the consulting engineer and for the building owner Mr Gutkin will present solutions for measuring and managing a buildings energy savings opportunities The discussion will focus on the latest software tools enterprise-level management and control of power systems Load Shedding Daylight Harvesting and other tools for making a building as efficient as possible Find out how the building owner and the consulting engineer can benefit by working with proven energy savings technology In short its all about information ndash the better you measure the better you can manage Since the utilities are also interested in these systems we will briefly review the available Utility Rebate programs
Please join us in welcoming our speaker to San Francisco for what is sure to be an interesting and productive session
Have you ever wondered why more gas stations
havenrsquot exploded Yoursquoll get a real BANG out of this presentation hellip or maybe not
You donrsquot need the speakerrsquos 40 years of Compliance and QA experience in electrical electronic and electromechanical manufacturing to know that product safety is affected by the operating environment What happens to product safety when the operating location is considered hazardous Tonightrsquos presentation will focus on hazardous location enclosures The speaker will discuss the need for such devices and methods of evaluating them
Mike moved to California to become VP of Product
Safety at Electro Service in San Mateo then started Teccom Co a product safety consultancy After time as a Compliance Engineer at Elo TouchSystems Mike is back in Product Safety consulting He started Compliance Department Co in June 2006

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

A Technology Enabler for High Efficiency Amplifier Applications
Speaker Jerry Lee MwT Time Pizza and drinks at 630 PM Presentation
at 700 PM Cost Donation for food Place Cadence Design Systems Building 5 655
Seely Avenue San Jose RSVP not required Web wwwewhieeeorgr6scvcas
Jerry Lee received his BS and MS from UC Berkeley and Stanford respectively He has been working in the microwave industry for over 25 years In the last 7 years he was at Tropian Inc working on polar modulation techniques developing and designing applications for high power 2G and 3G base stations He later joined SpectrianRemec and continued to develop new pre-distortion applications for 3G and 4G base stations utilizing envelope elimination and restoration techniques He is presently at MwT as their CTO
In this presentation one of the most crucial components ndash the amplitude modulator ndash of the envelope elimination and restoration transmitter will be presented and discussed
Over the past decades many new modulation schemes have been developed to offer higher data rates and better spectral efficiency for the same bandwidth These modulation formats present difficulties for the power amplifier because of the statistics of the RF envelope
Conventional class A amplifiers are inefficient for modulations with high crest factors Some class AB amplifiers including feed forward and pre-distortion methods do improve non-linearity but contribute to efficiency degradation and higher cost
Most recent applications include Doherty amplifiers that improve efficiency by a 10 factor For a Doherty amplifier (an envelope elimination and restoration transmitter) the overhead circuitry and complexity is similar to feed-forward andor pre-distortion However the die size is effectively 6 dB (power rating) smaller than its counterpart hence the implementation cost is lower
Performance of an amplitude modulator architecture that enables potential efficiencycost advantages will be presented This amplitude modulator delivers 100 watts into 3 ohms in less than 10 nanoseconds The voltage gain is 10 and provides voltage control from its input to any voltage from 0 to 28 volts The bandwidth of this amplitude modulator is greater than 50 MHz and its distortion level is better than -50 dBc

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

The 53nd Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) was held in Orlando on January 22-25 2007 For those of you that couldnt attend we will bring the symposium to you (except for the Disney World visit) This evening offers highlights of the best papers presented at RAMS during this 4-day event The theme of this yearrsquos RAMS was ldquoImproving Products and Processes Through Informationrdquo Information on RAMS is available on the web at httpwwwramsorg The panel is being organized by Mike Silverman and Fred Schenkelberg If you are interested in helping select papers being on the panel leading a discussion or contributing in another way please e-mail us at reliabilityieeeorg
Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

Our evening will allow attendees to view the Hiller
Aviation museum exhibits as well as the special display of the European Train Enthusiasts (ETE) organization which focuses on European railroading Come check it out ndash it is an event you donrsquot want to miss The main event for the evening will be a discussion on the Tesla Roadster which will also be present at this event
The Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster has far more drawing power than previous EVs including the General Motors EV1 The Roadster has a 0-60 mph time of just 40 seconds a top speed of 130 mph and a range of 250 miles per EPA driving standards Using the US governments calculations the 100 electric carbon fiber-bodied vehicle will get the equivalent of 130 miles per gallon or about 1 cent per mile in electricity cost

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

The 53nd Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) was held in Orlando on January 22-25 2007 For those of you that couldnt attend we will bring the symposium to you (except for the Disney World visit) This evening offers highlights of the best papers presented at RAMS during this 4-day event The theme of this yearrsquos RAMS was ldquoImproving Products and Processes Through Informationrdquo Information on RAMS is available on the web at httpwwwramsorg The panel is being organized by Mike Silverman and Fred Schenkelberg If you are interested in helping select papers being on the panel leading a discussion or contributing in another way please e-mail us at reliabilityieeeorg
Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Dr Christie Marrian is Sr Manager of the
Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Jack May is the founder of Meta App Inc a company he started to help develop meta-material applications He previously held positions as a senior Staff engineer and project manager in advanced technology research at Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (Formerly TRW) in San Jose and Senior Engineer at Boeing Corporation in Seattle Washington At Northrop Grumman Jack developed the first concepts and approaches for NRI long range antennas and optics that offer higher resolution and gain than conventional diffraction-limited designs Jack received his Bs and Ms from SMU (Southern Methodist University) Dallas Texas
The 53nd Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) was held in Orlando on January 22-25 2007 For those of you that couldnt attend we will bring the symposium to you (except for the Disney World visit) This evening offers highlights of the best papers presented at RAMS during this 4-day event The theme of this yearrsquos RAMS was ldquoImproving Products and Processes Through Informationrdquo Information on RAMS is available on the web at httpwwwramsorg The panel is being organized by Mike Silverman and Fred Schenkelberg If you are interested in helping select papers being on the panel leading a discussion or contributing in another way please e-mail us at reliabilityieeeorg
Meta-materials have been a hot topic in the media over the last year with some very interesting applications The speaker will shed some light on the subject reviewing the properties and characteristics of Meta-materials that can not be produced by naturally occurring materials Particularly important is the negative refractive index (NRI) property that was once thought to violate the laws of physics For example NRI lenses can be designed with no diffraction limit and zero reflections The emphasis of the talk will to give an understanding of what can and can not be done with NRI materials Why do natural materials have a diffraction limit for resolution and NRI materials donrsquot have that limit Since there is no diffraction limit what does limit resolution Is infinite resolution possible Cloaking devices that potentially are invisible have been in the news How does cloaking work and what can be done now Long distance NRI antennas and lenses more gain same dish size What are other potential applications of NRI materials and how well can they work

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Wow I fell asleep listening to SOA music and when I woke up I couldnt remember where Id put my data Now what Has this happened to you With the new push towards service-oriented architectures and process orientation data seems to have been lost in the shuffle At the end of the day however applications are still about data and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications are no different
In this talk we will present BEAs approach to serving up data for SOA applications In 2005 BEA introduced a middleware product called the AquaLogic Data Services Platform (ALDSP) The purpose of ALDSP is to make it easy to design develop deploy and maintain a data services layer in the world of SOA ALDSP provides a new declarative foundation for building SOA applications and services that need to access and compose information from a range of enterprise data sources The talk will attempt to cover both the foundation and the key features of ALDSP including its underlying technologies (including XQuery) its overall system architecture and its most interesting capabilities Time permitting a brief demo may be included

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Neoconixrsquo (neoconixcom) roots go back to AMDrsquos Submicron Development Center in the mid-1990rsquos Two engineers Dr Dirk Brown and John Williams working together on chip-level interconnects realized that many of the system performance bottlenecks were occurring at the packaging and PWB level
The pair went to Cornell University to join a company called HCD that was working on novel connector and PWB technologies HCDrsquos CEO Professor Che-Yu Li was a renowned interconnect and packaging expert and had previously mentored Dirk for his PhD in materials science at Cornell
Dirk ran sales and marketing while John took charge of engineering and manufacturing for HCD leading to proprietary design wins and licensing deals with some of the largest semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in the industry
In early 2003 Dirk and John founded the forerunner of Neoconix based on an inspiration that merges the worlds of printed circuit fabrication chemical milling and connectors
Connectors and sockets as we know them today
are assemblies of stamped metal contacts housed in a molded plastic part Neoconix uses photolithography potentially offering better dimensional scalability and resulting electrical performance improvements plus lower cost The implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm Low-profile connectors ndash about as thick as a printed circuit ndash are just what portable products need
Recipe for a New Embedded ComponentmdashConnectors Fabricate rigid or flexible printed circuit boards and chem mill contact sheets Form and plate the contacts and etch them apart after insertion between pre-drilled printed circuit layers and press
In summary here are some of the results bull A concentration on land grid array connections
today that takes advantage of fine dimensions low parasitics good contact wipe (and major customer needs)
bull The ability to circuitize the board embed discrete or distributed bypass capacitors and terminating resistors
bull Differentiate dense contacts by high resolution photolithography etched apart into signal ground and voltage mdash no piece-parts to individually plate or assemble
bull Overcome the scaling-down disadvantages of stamp-and-form by use of photolithography and etch
The technology is particularly appropriate for the low profile requirements of flex circuit connectors and the implications of the Neoconix technologies are nothing less than a complete shift of todayrsquos interconnection paradigm including a whole new way of making connectors
Embedded connectors will give new freedom to designers to design their connectors integral with systems wherever they want them Itrsquos a supply chain simplification

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Dr Christie Marrian is Sr Manager of the
Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save
power and reduce demand Please join us to meet your local utility representatives and get up to date on new programs We will have a short presentation from representatives from PGampE Silicon Valley Power and The City of Palo Alto Following will be a panel discussion as well as question and answer period

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Sean Cahill is currently VP of Technology at BridgeWave Communications where he is working on next-generation millimeter-wave systems Sean graduated with dual BS degrees in ECESignals and Systems and Biochemistry Biophysics from UC Davis and MSEESolid State Physics from UC Santa Barbara where he fabricated some of the first surface micromachined MOEMS (Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems) Over his 18 years in industry Sean has worked for numerous research and product development companies focused on microfabrication technologies
He started out at Exxon Research working on flat panel displays based on electrophoresis At NovaSensor he was primarily responsible for novel devices such as microrelays force rebalanced accelerometers vibrating beam pressure sensors and ionelectron beam lithography mask membranes At Teknekron Sensor Development Sean managed the Micromachining group supporting the companys efforts in pioneering chemical and biosensor platforms as well as developing novel mechanical sensors and microstructures Examples of such devices include a microheater used for catalytic gas sensing NDIR gas sensors high dynamic range capacitive pressure sensors SFM (scanning force microscope) probe tips which were the sharpest available and frequency selective earthquake detectors
After co-founding two product-based MEMS startups Sean was recruited by Maxim Integrated Products to establish their MEMS fabrication facility and helped create their patented media-compatible pressure sensor technology Sean has served in consulting advisory and board member capacities at several Silicon Valley MEMS companies He holds 21 US Patents for micromachined devices addressing many industries including automotive process control semiconductor medical and communications fields
Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Sponsored by the Circuits and Systems Society under its Distinguished Lecturer Program
The popularity of system-on-chip (SOC) integrated circuits has led to an unprecedented increase in test costs This increase can be attributed to the difficulty of test access to embedded cores as well as long test development and test application times This talk will present test resource partitioning techniques that facilitate low-cost SOC test Topics to be covered include the recent IEEE 1500 standard for testing core-based SOCs and techniques for modular testing of digital SOCs Test planning methods that involve the use of wrappers and test access mechanisms will be discussed Test scheduling techniques for the concurrent testing of embedded cores at the SOC level will also be presented Together these techniques offer SOC integrators with the necessary means to manage test complexity and reduce test costs
Prof Chakrabarty is a Distinguished Visitor of the IEEE
Computer Society and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society He is an Editor of IEEE Design amp Test of Computers and the Journal of Electronic Testing Theory and Applications (JETTA) He is a member of the editorial board for Microelectronics Journal Sensor Letters and Journal of Embedded Computing and he serves as a subject area editor for the International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks In the recent past he has also served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II Analog and Digital Signal Processing He is a senior member of IEEE a senior member of ACM and a member of Sigma Xi He serves as Vice Chair of Technical Activities in IEEEs Test Technology Technical Council and is a member of the program committees of several IEEEACM conferences and workshops He served as the chair of the emerging technologies subcommittee for the IEEE Int Conf CAD (2005-2006) and chairs the subcommittee for new emerging and specialized technologies for the 2006-2007 IEEE ACM Design Automation Conference He served as Tutorials Chair for the 2005 IEEE International Conference on VLSI Design and Program Chair for the 2005 IEEE Asian Test Symposium He is the designated Program Chair for the CAD Design and Test Conference for the 2007 IEEE Symposium on Design Integration Test and Packaging of MEMS MOEMS (DTIPrsquo07) He delivered keynote talks at the International Conference amp Exhibition on Micro Electro Opto Mechanical Systems and Components (Munich Germany October 2005) the International Conference on Design and Test of Integrated Systems (Tunis Tunisia September 2006) as well as invited talks on biochips CAD at several other conferences

Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Magnetic Nanoparticles Self-Assembly and
Nanoscale Behavior Speaker Prof Sara A Majetich 2006 IEEE
Magnetics Society Distinguished Lecturer Carnegie Mellon University
Time Cookies amp Conversation at 730 PM Presentation at 800 PM
Cost none Place KOMAG 1710 Automation Parkway San
Jose RSVP not required Web wwwewhieeeorgr6scvmag
Dr Sara Majetich received her AB degree in chemistry at Princeton University and a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry at Columbia University Her PhD was in Solid State Physics from the University of Georgia and following that she did postdoctoral work at Cornell University She has been a faculty member in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon University since 1990 and is now a full professor there Her awards include the Ashkin Award for excellence in teaching the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Advising Award and a National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation She has three patents and over 100 publications Her research interests focus on magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites and their applications
The magnetic behavior of a monodomain
nanoparticle was first described by Stoner and Wohlfarth nearly sixty years ago yet this simple system is frequently invoked in discussions of high-density magnetic recording media magnetic refrigeration materials and a host of biomagnetic applications Here we will examine two cross-cutting themes of current research on magnetic nanoparticles self-assembly and nanoscale magnetic behavior
Different types of superstructure can be self-assembled from the same type of particles In organic solvents two-dimensional arrays with long-range order can be formed using Langmuir layer techniques These monolayers are also used as nanomasks for crystallographically oriented thin films which provide an alternative approach to preparing nanoparticle arrays for data storage media Faceted three-dimensional single ldquograinrdquo nanoparticle crystals are formed by colloidal crystallization methods Magnetic field gradients can also be used to guide self-assembly For example gold-coated iron oxide particles can be used to image self assembly dynamics in aqueous media in response to patterned magnetic elements using plasmon scattering and dark field optical microscopy to track single particles
The ability to make magnetic nanostructures creates a need for new tools that enable us to visualize their magnetization patterns Small-angle neutron scattering provides average magnetic correlation lengths within three-dimensional assemblies where correlations of hundreds on nanometers may be present at low temperature Electron holography shows real-space magnetization patterns of magnetic monolayers where vortices and transverse domain walls are present as low energy excitations Scanning probe techniques have the potential for single-particle-per-bit magnetic information storage

Dr Christie Marrian is Sr Manager of the
Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Advanced Memory Technology Department of Spansion in Sunnyvale From 1998-2002 he was on detail at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office Prior to that he served for 18 years at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC where in 1993 he was appointed Head of the Nanoelectronics Processing Facility He was President of AVS in 2006 and is a Fellow of AVS and a Senior Member of the IEEE He obtained his BA and Ph D Degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department of Cambridge University
Flash memory has been scaled remarkably
successfully over the past decades and is now one of the main drivers of Moorersquos Law as the market for memory continues apace However the basic physics of the memory cell are such that scaling is becoming increasingly difficult ie costly Dr Marrian will discuss the resulting pursuit of non-volatile technologies which will allow continued scaling of Flash memory These approaches depend on the manipulation of the material properties of extremely small volumes with in some cases atomic precision His perspective as a veteran in nanotechnology processing will be uniquely appropriate to this IEEE seminar series

William N Starling is Chief Executive Officer of
Synecor LLC (Synecor) a business generator of new Life Science companies based in Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina Santa Rosa California and Portola Valley California Synecor has significant academic scientific physician venture capital corporate and investment banking partnerships and is focusing its efforts on the identification and development of proprietary disruptive technologies with extraordinary market potential in the life sciences field
As CEO of Synecor Mr Starling is a cofounder of BaroSense Inc Bioerodible Vascular Solutions Inc (acquired by GuidantAbbott in April 2004) InnerPulse Inc (formerly Interventional Rhythm Management Inc) and TransEnterix Inc the initial four companies founded and incubated by Synecor Mr Starling currently serves as Chairman of the Board for BaroSense Inc a Menlo Park-based obesity company InnerPulse Inc a RTP-based cardiac rhythm management company and CEO of TransEnterix Inc a RTP-based less invasive GI Surgery company
William N Starling received his BS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MBA degree from the University of Southern California He began his 29 year career in the medical technology device industry at American Edwards Laboratories (Edwards LifeSciences) He was subsequently part of the founding management team and Director of Marketing for Advanced Cardiovascular Systems Inc (acquired by Guidant Abbott) and was a cofounder Vice President and Board member of Ventritex Inc (acquired by St Jude Medical) In 1992 Mr Starling was a cofounder and Chairman of the Board and PresidentCEO of Cardiac Pathways Corporation (acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation) and was responsible for raising significant capital from the early venture capital period through an initial public offering in 1996
Silicon Valley has produced the most successful start-up companies in the medical device field the past 25 years Large multinational public corporations usually focused on near term earnings have historically relied upon the acquisition of promising young start-up companies to fuel their growth
The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

The Northern California venture capital community has been primarily responsible for funding entrepreneurs and inventors for decades but today in Synecors opinion there has never been a point in time in which new company founders and the venture capital community has been further apart with common goals and strategies to build companies that will last
Synecor LLC has developed a unique process with a uniquely qualified leadership team that has produced over $500 million in value creation in its first five years Synecor an ever-greened incubator on steroids has produced multiple new start-up companies that feature highly proprietary disruptive technologies in multi-billion dollar medical markets
Synecor has world class business assessment financial invention engineering pre-clinical and management capabilities and has attracted such notable corporate investors as GE Medical Systems Guidant Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation Johnson amp Johnson and Abbott Inc
Before one dollar of risk capital is invested in a Synecor originated medical device or combination drug-device start-up company the Synecor leadership team will have reduced the risk in the fledgling new company so that it resembles a very successful Venture Capital backed start-up company at Series B Preferred Stock Financing - thus avoiding the Death Valley that plagues most medical device start-up companies between the initial and second institutional rounds of financings

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

In an effort to improve the performance of Wireless LAN (WLAN) devices the IEEE in late 2003 formed a task group TGn to work on a new specification 80211n The goal was to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps which would more than double the existing maximum rate of 54Mbps provided by the 80211a and 80211g amendments Currently the 80211n draft (standard still under development) offers rates up to 600Mbps through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna structures
In this presentation we discuss the signal processing techniques used to achieve these rates over indoor wireless environments Techniques discussed include space-time coding channel estimation beamforming and MIMO detection including linear and ML detectors A simulation model developed using MatlabSIMULINK implementing the transmitter-receiver system is also presented
Local Utilities offer a variety of incentives to save
power and reduce demand Please join us to meet your local utility representatives and get up to date on new programs We will have a short presentation from representatives from PGampE Silicon Valley Power and The City of Palo Alto Following will be a panel discussion as well as question and answer period

As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Sean Cahill is currently VP of Technology at BridgeWave Communications where he is working on next-generation millimeter-wave systems Sean graduated with dual BS degrees in ECESignals and Systems and Biochemistry Biophysics from UC Davis and MSEESolid State Physics from UC Santa Barbara where he fabricated some of the first surface micromachined MOEMS (Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems) Over his 18 years in industry Sean has worked for numerous research and product development companies focused on microfabrication technologies
He started out at Exxon Research working on flat panel displays based on electrophoresis At NovaSensor he was primarily responsible for novel devices such as microrelays force rebalanced accelerometers vibrating beam pressure sensors and ionelectron beam lithography mask membranes At Teknekron Sensor Development Sean managed the Micromachining group supporting the companys efforts in pioneering chemical and biosensor platforms as well as developing novel mechanical sensors and microstructures Examples of such devices include a microheater used for catalytic gas sensing NDIR gas sensors high dynamic range capacitive pressure sensors SFM (scanning force microscope) probe tips which were the sharpest available and frequency selective earthquake detectors
After co-founding two product-based MEMS startups Sean was recruited by Maxim Integrated Products to establish their MEMS fabrication facility and helped create their patented media-compatible pressure sensor technology Sean has served in consulting advisory and board member capacities at several Silicon Valley MEMS companies He holds 21 US Patents for micromachined devices addressing many industries including automotive process control semiconductor medical and communications fields
Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Mark Horowitz is the Associate Vice Provost for Special Programs and the Yahoo Founders Professor of the School of Engineering at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Rambus Inc He received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1978 and his PhD from Stanford in 1984 Dr Horowitz is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator Award an IBM Faculty Development Award the 1993 ISSCC Best Paper Award the ISCA 2004 Most Influential Paper of 1989 and the 2006 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM
Dr Horowitzs research area is in digital system design and he has led a number of processor designs including MIPS-X one of the first processors to include an on-chip instruction cache TORCH a statically-scheduled superscalar processor that supported speculative execution and FLASH a flexible DSM machine He has also worked in a number of other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power memory design high-bandwidth interfaces and fast floating point In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology His current research includes multiprocessor design low power circuits high-speed links and new graphical interfaces
As we continue to scale CMOS technology more chips integrate a small amount of mixed signal circuitry on their large digital dies Since transistors are getting worse and the specs for the analog are getting tighter all these blocks use numerous cheap digital gates to improve their analog performance This talk will discuss a new research program we are starting at Stanford University to try to rethink analog design The first step is to realize that digital correction is here to stay and is pretty cheap So the first research question is can we build mostly digital analog subsystems and are there powerdesign time advantages in this approach Since there will be some analog circuitry that remains the second research question is to try to create a design system that makes using mixed-signal blocks more like using digital macros -- each cell comes with a validation script and a set electrical rules checkers that ensure the design assumptions are actively checked every time it is used Our goal in this section is to create robust mixed signal cells that can be used in many different designs More importantly this tool should provide management feedback on when redesign of an analog cell is really needed and prevent simple chip errors from reappearing when a new designer redesigns an existing block

Sean Cahill is currently VP of Technology at BridgeWave Communications where he is working on next-generation millimeter-wave systems Sean graduated with dual BS degrees in ECESignals and Systems and Biochemistry Biophysics from UC Davis and MSEESolid State Physics from UC Santa Barbara where he fabricated some of the first surface micromachined MOEMS (Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems) Over his 18 years in industry Sean has worked for numerous research and product development companies focused on microfabrication technologies
He started out at Exxon Research working on flat panel displays based on electrophoresis At NovaSensor he was primarily responsible for novel devices such as microrelays force rebalanced accelerometers vibrating beam pressure sensors and ionelectron beam lithography mask membranes At Teknekron Sensor Development Sean managed the Micromachining group supporting the companys efforts in pioneering chemical and biosensor platforms as well as developing novel mechanical sensors and microstructures Examples of such devices include a microheater used for catalytic gas sensing NDIR gas sensors high dynamic range capacitive pressure sensors SFM (scanning force microscope) probe tips which were the sharpest available and frequency selective earthquake detectors
After co-founding two product-based MEMS startups Sean was recruited by Maxim Integrated Products to establish their MEMS fabrication facility and helped create their patented media-compatible pressure sensor technology Sean has served in consulting advisory and board member capacities at several Silicon Valley MEMS companies He holds 21 US Patents for micromachined devices addressing many industries including automotive process control semiconductor medical and communications fields
Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Classroom 4 2900 Semiconductor Dr Santa Clara
RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Sean Cahill is currently VP of Technology at BridgeWave Communications where he is working on next-generation millimeter-wave systems Sean graduated with dual BS degrees in ECESignals and Systems and Biochemistry Biophysics from UC Davis and MSEESolid State Physics from UC Santa Barbara where he fabricated some of the first surface micromachined MOEMS (Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems) Over his 18 years in industry Sean has worked for numerous research and product development companies focused on microfabrication technologies
He started out at Exxon Research working on flat panel displays based on electrophoresis At NovaSensor he was primarily responsible for novel devices such as microrelays force rebalanced accelerometers vibrating beam pressure sensors and ionelectron beam lithography mask membranes At Teknekron Sensor Development Sean managed the Micromachining group supporting the companys efforts in pioneering chemical and biosensor platforms as well as developing novel mechanical sensors and microstructures Examples of such devices include a microheater used for catalytic gas sensing NDIR gas sensors high dynamic range capacitive pressure sensors SFM (scanning force microscope) probe tips which were the sharpest available and frequency selective earthquake detectors
After co-founding two product-based MEMS startups Sean was recruited by Maxim Integrated Products to establish their MEMS fabrication facility and helped create their patented media-compatible pressure sensor technology Sean has served in consulting advisory and board member capacities at several Silicon Valley MEMS companies He holds 21 US Patents for micromachined devices addressing many industries including automotive process control semiconductor medical and communications fields
Wire bonding is the leading IC interconnect
technology of today comprising over 90 of all interconnects As device operating frequency increases packaging engineers look to other interconnection methods including flip-chip that provide better signal transmission properties for higher volume applications Ribbon bond mesh-bond and ultimately machined waveguide are utilized in some low-volume applications Other next-generation approaches such as wireless and optical interconnect are areas garnering increasing research dollars but are in practicality many years away All of these approaches are considerably more expensive and less flexible than wire bonding either because of tooling costs or added labor-intensive steps Flip-chip is limited as an approach because it does not address cross-talk issues without numerous extra bumps dedicated to shielding
This talk will describe a new interconnect approach MicroCoax based around wire bonding with the capability to create high-bandwidth interconnects for increasingly higher frequency digital and analog electronics systems Prototype devices show excellent performance over DC-100+ GHz frequency range Transmission line losses less than 05 dB 160 microm pitch and cross-talk isolation of approximately 40-50 dB from DC-50 GHz were demonstrated The technology has implications for improved package design and these design implications will be discussed Applicable to printed circuit board as well as device-level interconnects this MicroCoax technology allows data signals to flow over large frequency ranges with excellent impedance match and little cross-talk The fabrication approach uses existing infrastructure within the microelectronics fabrication arena allowing for easy adoption The presentation will show how MicroCoax can have significant impact for systems with high bandwidth and signal integrity demands

The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

Classroom 4 2900 Semiconductor Dr Santa Clara
RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

John Barber is a research director for Gartner Dataquests Hardware amp Systems Semiconductor Applications amp Devices Group Mr Barber is responsible for market analysis and forecast tracking for system-on-a-chip (SOC) system-level integration (SLI) and application specific standard products (ASSP) Before joining Gartner Dataquest Mr Barber was product manager for NEC Electronics where he was responsible for product development and promotion of ASSPs targeting the digital consumer set top box DVD recorder and audiovideo for PC markets Mr Barber has served as a member on the board of directors and marketing working group chairman for the 1394 Trade Association Mr Barber has more than 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry working for Applied Materials Cisco Systems and NEC Electronics
Bryan Lewis is a research VP and chief analyst for Gartner Research Mr Lewis joined Dataquest in 1985 and founded Dataquests ASICSOCFPGA research He has responsibility for tracking and evaluating market movements forecasting markets and tracking technology trends He is a key speaker at numerous conferences and consults with a wide range of worldwide clients Mr Lewis received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from the University of Oregon
The state of the ASIC and ASSP market can be
described in one statement revenue up - design starts down There are a number of key trends that must be explored to fully understand this short statement Increasing revenue is being driven by rising chip selling prices (increased functionality per chip) coupled with rising unit volumes per design This increasing functionality per chip or increasing integration is a two-edged sword since that is also a primary reason for declining design starts These big-picture trends can and will have a significant impact on the future of the IC packaging industry

630 PM Presentation Cost none Place National Semiconductor Bldg 9
Classroom 4 2900 Semiconductor Dr Santa Clara
RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Introduction to Multipactor Speaker Will Caven Payload Systems Engineer
Space SystemsLoral Time 600 PM refreshments and social hour
630 PM Presentation Cost none Place National Semiconductor Bldg 9
Classroom 4 2900 Semiconductor Dr Santa Clara
RSVP not required Web wwwmtt-scvorg
Will Caven has twenty years of engineering experience in microwave and communication systems His engineering design experience includes component design of input and output multiplexers circulators couplers and other passive microwave devices He has several years of experience developing multipactor test stations and has performed several multipactor analyses for high power passive devices His communications systems experience includes a broad range of communications payloads including meteorological direct-broadcast and geo-mobile communications systems architectures
Mr Caven joined SSL in 1995 and is a senior member of the Payload Systemsrsquo technical staff Previously Mr Caven was Manager of Payload Test Engineering within the Spacecraft Test and Operations Directorate responsible for the build and RF test of all payloads on all spacecraft at SSL He led several integrated product teams including the Wildblue CATR Tiger Team and was responsible for the deployment of a new high-speed automated Payload Test System which successfully achieved a three-fold increase in test throughput
Multipaction is an effect that occurs with RF fields
usually in a vacuum or low-pressure condition Amongst other things it can create catastrophic failures in high power RF components The definitions of multipactor are described and the necessary conditions for the phenomenon are outlined The concept of modes of multipactor is explained and information regarding key surface parameters which contribute to sustained multipactor are provided Related RF power-handling phenomena are discussed and the difficulties in proving design capability through both test and analysis is detailed Some photos of the discharge are included and the issue of multiplexed peak power is raised The relevant references cited are listed

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available

Dr Jinsong Zhao founder and president of Lorentz Solution Inc leads the companyrsquos efforts in developing and delivering the industryrsquos first IC-focused electromagnetic design and verification solution Several of the worldrsquos top semiconductor companies have adopted Lorentz products to design the most challenging RFIC products Dr Zhao has authored two pending patents for Lorentz Prior to founding Lorentz Dr Zhao was a Senior Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Design Systemsrsquo SpectreRF team leading the RampD effort in mixed-signal parasitic extraction substrate coupling analysis and RF behavioral system modeling Prior to that Dr Zhao spent one year at Bell Labs and was co-author of three US patents in RF modeling and IC module design
Dr Zhao received his BSMS in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University at Beijing and earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Cruz Dr Zhao also holds an MBA from UC Berkeley
For RF designs in sub-100nm nodes lately the efforts to design and verify advanced inductive structures have intensified to achieve three goals design productivity accurate prediction of device physics and optimal performance In a production design environment devices must be high-performance and conform to stringent manufacturing requirements While electromagnetic analysis is the natural physics-based device modeling method the enormously complicated design data and difficult use of a general-purpose EM solver leave most of todayrsquos inductive structures unoptimized and poorly modeled
This presentation covers the basic device characterization methods the physics behind innovative designs and the electromagnetic synthesis and verification of those devices in a tightly integrated design environment We also cover the challenges of making the electromagnetic capabilities accessible to designers and the architectural and physics approaches for making such capabilities available
