CAREER: Micromachining Antennas for Localized Excitation of Nanostructures

9702871范德维德不断提高的时钟频率和计算集成电路的密度给芯片间的通信和测试带来了严重的困难。这一职业计划的研究将探索微机械天线结构，以实现零偏斜时钟波形分布和这些电路的局部激励和测试，即使是那些表现出电子限制的量子效应的电路。该项目的教育目标是将这些本地化的现场测量扩展到更大的范围，使平面高频电路对学生来说变得生动起来，特别是通过通过近实时的基于网络的仪器访问实验室。***

9702871 Van der Weide Rising clock rates and densities of computational integrated circuits engender severe difficulties in inter-chip communication and testing. The research in this CAREER program will explore micromachined antenna structures to achieve zero-skew clock waveform distribution and localized excitation and testing of these circuits, even those exhibiting quantum effects of electron confinement. The educational goals of this program seek to extend these localized field measurements to a larger scale, making planar high-frequency circuits come alive to students, particularly through laboratories accessed via near-real-time Web-based instrumentation. ***
