Integrated circuits and systems research takes varied approaches to enhancing the speed, reliability, and energy efficiency of next-generation Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits and microsystems, as well as reducing the burden of their design. The design, simulation, and modeling of circuits and systems are performed in collaborations with faculty in signal processing, communications, microelectronics, and electromagnetics.
Major projects include low-power VLSI algorithms and architectures, noise-tolerance for VLSI and DSP, mixed-signal analog IC design, MEMS for integrated passive RF components, electrothermal simulation and electrostatic discharge protection for silicon-on-insulator CMOS circuits, and a theoretical exploration of the fundamental bounds of efficiency and reliability of VLSI computation.
