建议编号：0726741PI名称：王，AlbertPI的机构：伊利诺伊理工学院建议标题：国际：美国与中国合作为专注于超紧凑型集成射频电感研究的学生提供国际研究经验这个国际学生研究经验项目(IRES)将在三年内每年为五名美国本科生提供为期八周的关于用于射频系统芯片集成电路的微型集成电路的密集研究经验。这项拟议的研究建立在美国伊利诺伊理工学院(IIT)的PI与来自微电子研究所、清华大学(IMETU)、半导体制造国际公司(SMIC)、中国电子科技大学(UESTC)、上海交通大学(SJTU)和杭州店子大学(HDU)的外国合作伙伴共同开发的现有研究项目和教育培训举措的基础上。IRES项目为参与项目的学生提供了一整套连贯的研究和文化活动。研究计划分为两个阶段。在第一阶段，学生将在IMETU和中芯国际设计和制造IC器件。在第二阶段，他们将在电子科技大学、HDU或上海交通大学设计、测试和模拟IC电路。IRES将在每个阶段结束时在所在中国机构和IIT为IRES学生举办研讨会，介绍他们的项目成果和学习经验。来自代表性不足群体的学生将被积极录取。将进行IRES后评估和跟踪。该项目旨在建立美国和中国的长期合作伙伴关系，以开发用于多GHz射频IC的新型晶体管大小和集成磁芯的电感，这些集成电路在100 nm以下的节点上与CMOS100%兼容。这项联合研究有9项研究任务，包括研究新的磁性材料、新的磁性薄膜工艺、制造集成磁棒铁心阵列的射频电感的新技术，以及设计、测试和建模新型的磁增强型电感和CMOS射频IC。如果成功，该研究项目将展示第一个真正的CMOS高质量晶体管大小的磁芯射频电感，并解决为下一代无线通信实现高性能多GHz射频SoC的关键挑战。

ABSTRACTProposal No.: 0726741PI Name: WANG, AlbertPI's Institution: Illinois Institute of TechnologyProposal Title: International: US-China Collaboration on International Research Experiences for Students with Focused Research on Super-Compact Integrated RF InductorsOver a three year period this International Research Experience for Students (IRES) project will annually provide five U.S. undergraduates with an eight-week intensive research expereince pertaining to miniature integrated inductors for radio frequency system-on-chip integrated circuits. The proposed research builds on existing research projects and education and training initiatives developed collaboratively between the U.S. PI from Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and foreign partners from the Institute of Microelectronics, Tsinghua University (IMETU), Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU), and Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU). The IRES project provides a coherent package of research and cultural activities for participating students. The research program is divided in two phases. In phase one the students will design and fabricate IC devices at IMETU and SMIC. In phase two they will design, test and simulate IC circuits at UESTC, HDU, or SJTU. IRES seminars will be organized at the end of each phase at the host Chinese institutions and at IIT for IRES students to present their project results and learning experiences. Students from underrepresented groups will be actively recruited. Post-IRES evaluation and tracking will be conducted. This project aims to establish long-term U.S.-China partnerships to develop novel transistor-size inductors with integrated magnetic cores for multi-GHz RF ICs that are 100%-compatible with CMOS at sub-100nm nodes. The joint research has nine research tasks, including investigating new magnetic materials, new magnetic film processes, and novel techniques to fabricate RF inductors with integrated magnetic bar core arrays and designing, testing and modeling new magnetic-enhanced inductors and RF ICs in CMOS. If successful the research project will demonstrate the first true-CMOS high quality transistor-size magnetic-cored RF inductors and addresses the key challenge in realizing high performance multi-GHz RF SoCs for next-generation wireless communications.
