AME Faculty-Student Forum
Fri, Oct 28, 2011 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
University Calendar
Have you been contemplating which AME core, tech, or design electives to register for? Would you like to know exactly what each elective class will be like before choosing which classes to take? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then be sure to attend the AME Faculty Student Forum this Friday, October 28th from 11:00am-12:00pm in GFS106.
At this event, professors from the AME department will have the opportunity to explain the classes they will be teaching, therefore giving students a clearer view of the different electives that can be chosen from. In addition, there will be FREE FOOD from Togo's, so part of the event will give students the opportunity to talk to the AME professors one-on-one in order to ask specific questions, as well as to socialize over lunch. Some of the classes that will be explained include AME-305, AME-403, AME-408, AME-410, AME-436, AME-441b, AME-453, AME-455, AME-460, AME-490, and AME-491. The details of the event are as follows:
Name: AME Faculty Student Faculty Forum
Hosts: Pi Tau Sigma & Sigma Gamma Tau
Date: Friday, October 28th, 11:00am-12:00pm
Location: GFS106
Additional Details: FREE LUNCHLocation: Grace Ford Salvatori Hall Of Letters, Arts & Sciences (GFS) - 106

Integrated Systems Seminar Series - Prof. Saeed Mohammadi, Purdue University

Speaker: Prof. Saeed Mohammadi, Purdue University
Title: Prospects of Semiconductor on Insulator (SOI) Technology in Power Amplifiers and Integrated Nanoelectromechanical Systems
Abstract: Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology has been widely used for low power analog and digital circuits for applications in mobile computation and communication. An addition of a buried oxide layer beneath a thin Si device layer in SOI technology brings about a new physics to the CMOS transistor, one that is still not fully understood. The buried oxide layer reduces the parasitic capacitance of interconnect metallization and transistors to the Si substrate which in turn reduces the dynamic power dissipation. Moreover, the buried oxide layer, when combined with trench oxide, helps electrically isolate CMOS transistors from each other and from the Si substrate. Electrically isolated SOI transistors can be stacked on top of each other to form power amplifiers with large voltage swing signals at the output. On the other hand, buried oxide layer facilitates micromachining of thin Silicon Nanowires that can be easily made into suspended double-clamped nanoelectromechanical resonators. In this presentation, SOI applications in both power amplifiers and integrated nanoelectromechanical systems are revisited and our most recent results are presented.
Biography: Saeed Mohammadi graduated with a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, ONT, Canada in 1994. He earned his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 2000. Since 2002, he has been at Purdue University where he currently serves as an Associate Professor. His research interests are in the areas of experimental nanotechnology and RF circuits. Together with his students, Prof Mohammadi has published more than 120 papers in these areas including the first carbon nanotube RF transistor, the first transparent flexible display technology based on carbon nanotube thin film transistors and the first RF CMOS receiver implemented in subthreshold regime.More Information: 10.28.11 Seminar_Speaker_Mohammadi.pdf
