Happening Event_Milimeterwave Application Talk

Talk on III-V Devices for Millimeterwave Applications
-
Sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society under its Distinguished Lecture Program

The IEEE MTT/AP/EDS Penang Chapter is very pleased to bring you a talk from Dr. Ed Chang, an EDS Distinguished Lecturer. His talk will focus on the III-V electronics devices for wireless communications up to Millimeterwave range. In the talk, basics of the III-V compounds and devices (HEMT, HBT) will be introduced. Different types of HEMT devices (PHEMT, MHEMT, InP HEMT) with ft from 100~ 500 GHz will be emphasized. Finally, various types of applications for these devices in wireless communications will be covered.

Dr. Edward Chang (EDS Distinguished Lecturer)

Edward Y. Chang received his B.S. degree from Materials Science and Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1977, and his Ph.D. degree from Materials Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota Minneapolis, MN in 1985.

Dr. Chang was with Unisys Corporation GaAs Component Group, Eagan, MN, 1985 to 1988 and Comsat Labs Microelectronic Group from 1988 to 1992. He worked on the GaAs MMIC programs on both groups. He joined National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1992. In 1994, he helped set up the first GaAs MMIC production line in Taiwan, and become president of Hexawave Inc., Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1995. He returned to the teaching position at NCTU in 1999, and is currently the chairmen and professor of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NCTU.

His research interests include new device and process technologies for Compound Semiconductor RFICs for wireless communication. Dr. Chang is a senior member and a DL(Distinguished Lecturer) of the IEEE Electronic Device Society. Currently his research interests include InP, GaAs based compound materials and devices (HEMT, HBT) for wireless communication, especially at milimeterwave range. GaN based materials (MBE, MOCVD) for optical (LED) and electronic (HEMT) applications. III-V/ Si integration (Ge, SiGe, GaAs, InP) for logic applications. Advanced package (Flip chip) for high frequency and LED applications.
