Speaker

Professor Colombo Bolognesi, ETH-Zurich

Topic

Terahertz InP/GaAsSb Double Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors

Abstract

The presentation will relate the development of InP/GaAsSb–based "THz Transistors" from the 1997 inception of a raw concept to the present transistors, showing power gain cutoff frequencies exceeding 1 THz, as determined by conventional de-embedding techniques.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has embraced the IDEAS Clinic philosophy in its “ECE Design Days,” a two-day event where 1B ECE students complete open-ended design tasks. Students complete four linked activities that span the ECE spectrum: Hardware, embedded, software, and robotics. Students get hands-on design experience in an open, formative environment where failure is okay and creativity is rewarded, all while integrating knowledge from across their curriculum.
