Speaker: Rehan Kapadia, Professor, USC
Talk Title: MOSIS 2.0
Series: CA DREAMS - Technical Seminar Series
Abstract: Since its founding in 1981, the original MOSIS service revolutionized VLSI prototyping by letting universities, startups, and government labs share multiproject wafers—shrinking tape-out costs and accelerating more than 60 000 chips to silicon. Today, MOSIS 2.0 builds on that legacy, expanding services to include access to IP, design services, and low-volume semiconductor prototyping services. In this talk, we will discuss the current state of the offerings and lay out a roadmap for the future.
Biography: Professor Rehan Kapadia joined the faculty of the University of Southern California in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in July 2014. He currently holds the Colleen and Roberto Padovani Early Career Chair, and serves as Director of MOSIS 2.0 and Director of the John O’Brien Nanofabrication Laboratory. He received his bachelors in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008, and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013. During his time at Berkeley, he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and winner of the David J. Sakrison Memorial Prize for outstanding research. At USC, he is the recipient of AFOSR and ONR Young Investigator Awards and the Peter Mark Memorial Award from the AVS. His interests lie at the intersection of material science and electrical engineering focusing on non-equilibrium electron devices, and materials growth technologies for next-generation electronic and photonic devices.
