High-Speed and Lower Power Technologies: Electronics and Photonics

This book explores up-to-date research trends and achievements on low-power and high-speed technologies in both electronics and optics. It offers unique insight into low-power and high-speed approaches ranging from devices, ICs, sub-systems and networks that can be exploited for future mobile devices, 5G networks, Internet of Things (IoT), and data centers. It collects heterogeneous topics in place to catch and predict future research directions of devices, circuits, subsystems, and networks for low-power and higher-speed technologies. Even it handles about artificial intelligence (AI) showing examples how AI technology can be combined with concurrent electronics. Written by top international experts in both industry and academia, the book discusses new devices, such as Si-on-chip laser, interconnections using graphenes, machine learning combined with CMOS technology, progresses of SiGe devices for higher-speed electronices for optic, co-design low-power and high-speed circuits for optical interconnect, low-power network-on-chip (NoC) router, X-ray quantum counting, and a design of low-power power amplifiers.

• Covers modern high-speed and low-power electronics and photonics.
• Discusses novel nano-devices, electronics & photonic sub-systems for high-speed and low-power systems, and many other emerging technologies like Si photonic technology, Si-on-chip laser, low-power driver for optic device, and network-on-chip router.
• Includes practical applications and recent results with respect to emerging low-power systems.
• Addresses the future perspective of silicon photonics as a low-power interconnections and communication applications.

Jung Han Choi received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Sogang University, Seoul, Korea, in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and the Dr.-Ing. degree from the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany in 2004. From 2001 to 2004, he was a research scientist in the Institute for High-Frequency engineering at the Technische Universität München, Germany. During this time, he worked on the high-speed device modeling, thin-film fabrication, network analyzer measurement and circuit development for high-speed optical communications. From 2005 to 2011, he was with the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology and the Samsung Electronics where he worked on the RF bio-health sensor, nano devices and RF/millimeter-wave circuit design including 60 GHz Si CMOS ICs. In 2011 he joined at the Fraunhofer Institute (Heinrich-Hertz Institute), Berlin, Germany. Now he is working on ultra-low power high data bit rate transmitter and receiver circuits for optical communications, microwave devices, electromagnetic simulations, and network analyzer measurement up to 170 GHz.

In 2003, he was awarded for the EEEfCOM (Electrical and Electronic Engineering for Communication) Innovation prize 2003 for the contribution to the development of the high-speed receiver circuit. His current research interests range from microwave active/passive devices & IC, electromagnetic simulation & analysis, and metamaterials. He holds 18 international registered and 22 pending patents in the area of semiconductor device, circuits, and systems for high-frequency engineering.
