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

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

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 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

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

Editor Paul Wesling IEEE GRID PO Box 2110 Cupertino CA 95015-2110 Tel 408 331-0114 510 500-0106 415 367-7323 Fax 408 904-6997 Email edi tore-gr idnet wwwe-GRIDnet

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
