US-Singapore Planning Visit: Collaborative Research on Design and Verification of 60Ghz RF/MM Integrated Circuits

1051797 TanTan该奖项支持一次计划访问，使加州大学河滨分校的Sheldon Tan教授能够与新加坡南洋理工大学(NTU)电气电子工程学院的郝宇教授会面。他们计划进行60 Ghz RF/MM集成电路的设计和验证研究。他们将在纳米超大规模集成电路设计技术方面进行合作，并希望扩大联合研究努力，并建立更实质性和长期的研究伙伴关系。研究人员计划为高频集成电路的建模、仿真和设计方法开发计算机辅助设计算法，这是设计自动化和半导体行业面临的重大挑战之一。此外，还将探索新的研究领域，如新兴非硅纳米电路和纳米结构的设计技术，以及片上功率调节技术。美国和新加坡的研究人员之间有足够的利益重叠，这表明他们可以成功地开展拟议的活动，而且这种互动将对双方都有利。郝宇教授是射频、微波和毫米波集成电路等高频集成电路仿真和建模方面的领先专家。谭教授是公认的互连建模和仿真专家。此外，两名美国研究生的参与将使他们获得宝贵的国际视角和洞察力。他们还将参加与研究人员就未来合作活动的讨论。加州大学河滨分校是一所经认证的拉美裔服务机构，在吸引和毕业代表不足的少数族裔方面有着出色的记录，这意味着他们的教育努力将直接有助于美国技术劳动力的多样性。

1051797TanThis award supports a planning visit to enable Professor Sheldon Tan at the University of California, Riverside to meet with Professor Hao Yu at the School of Electric and Electronic Engineering at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. They plan to undertake research on design and verification of 60Ghz RF/MM integrated circuits. They will be collaborating on nanometer VLSI design techniques and would like to broader the joint research efforts and to have a more substantial and long-term research partnership. The researchers plan to develop computer-aided design algorithms for modeling, simulation and design methods for high-frequency integrated circuits, which is one of the grand challenges confronting the design automation and semiconductor industries. In addition, new research areas such as design techniques for emerging non-silicon nano-circuit and nano-architectures, and on-chip power regulation techniques will be explored. There is sufficient overlap of interests between researchers in the U.S. and Singapore to indicate that they can successfully pursue the activities proposed, and that the interaction will benefit both sides. Professor Hao Yu is a leading expert in the simulation and modeling of high-frequency integrated circuits such as radio-frequency, microwave and millimeter integrated circuits. Professor Tan is a recognized expert on modeling and simulation for interconnects. In addition, the involvement of two U.S. graduate students will enable them to gain a valuable international perspective and insight. They will also participate in discussions on future collaborative activities with the researchers. The University of California, Riverside is an accredited Hispanic Serving Institution and has an excellent record of attracting and graduating underrepresented minorities, which means that their education efforts will directly contribute to the diversity in the U.S. technical workforce.
