Prepared by Tihao Chiang (Chapter Chair)

Distinguished Lecturer’s series by Dr. Tom Coughlin

Dr. Tom Coughlin spoke to 200 graduate students at National Chiao Tung

University (NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan on March 3, 2010. This speech was one of

the IEEE Consumer Electronics Distinguished Lecture Series. It was hosted by

the Electrical Engineering Department and Electrical and Computer Engineering

College, NCTU and the consumer electronic society, Taipei Chapter. Dr.

Coughlin spent about one hour explaining the history, current status and future

perspective of the storage systems aiming for consumer use. His colorful

viewgraphs with vivid pictures and illustrations showed the audience the

important milestones in the development of electronic storage systems and their

impact on industry and our daily life. The talk was very successful. Several

young students raised hands and asked questions. This is somewhat unusual in

Asia because the audience is often very quiet.

Tom’s NCTU visit started around the noon time. He first met Dr. Tihao Chiang,

the IEEE CES Taipei Chapter Chair, who initiated this NCTU visit. Then, he had

lunch with Tihao and a few NCTU faculty members including, Prof. Hsueh-Ming

Hang, a formal CES Taipei Chapter Chair and currently an Associate Dean of

the ECE College, Prof. Jyh-Yeong Chang, who coordinated this talk at NCTU,

and two other colleagues from the same EE Dept, Profs. Yi Chiu and Mang Ou-

Yang. The lunch was held in a Chinese garden restaurant with a warm

environment.

After the early afternoon talk, he local hosts described their research work. Dr.

T. Chiang is currently associated with Ambarella Company making high

definition H.264 coding chips. Profs. J. Chang and H. Hang are working on

image/video processing. Prof. Chiu is one of the few experts on optical storage

system in the school. Another NCTU faculty member, Dr. Wen Peng, joined in

and showed his recent compressed videos submitted to the international MPEG

standard committee for the High-Performance Video coding competition.

Distinguished Lecturer’s series by Dr. Tom Coughlin

The society hosted another talk on September 29th, entitled “Using Social

Context to Understand Images of People” by Dr. Tsuhan Chen from the Cornell

University. Dr. Tsuhan Chen is a Professor and Director for the School of

Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. His

main focus on the subject that our eyes and brains are fine-tuned to view and

analyze images of people. When we view an image of people, we can make

judgments very effectively. For example, we can easily come up with

18

demographic descriptions of people in the image. We can also answer other

questions related to the activities of, and relationships between, people in the

image. All that reasoning happens not only because of what our eyes see, but

also how our brain draws "prior", or context, from experiences. In this talk, we

will present some recent discovery in how computer algorithms can be

developed to do the same as our brain, that is, to use social context to

understand images of people effectively.

WCE 2010

In November 5th, 2010, the consumer electronics society has sponsored The

2010 Workshop on Consumer Electronics (WCE 2010). It received over 200

submitted papers, each being evaluated by 2 reviewers. After the evaluation,

WCE 2010 accepted about 100 papers to include them into the Proceedings of

the WCE 2010. There are more than 200 people coming to Southern Taiwan

University to attend the WCE 2010 conference. It has successfully promoted the

exchange of experience between academics and industry.

There are two keynote speeches for the WCE 2010.

Three meeting reports have been submitted to IEEE. They are listed below.

Speaker：Prof. Joung-Ho Kim

Director of Convergence Device and System Group

Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

Time：2010/03/26

Topic：Signal Integrity of TSV Based 3D IC

Abstract:

Recently, process dimensions of Silicon based semiconductor devices are

reaching less than 20 nm scale. However, it suffers significant technical and

business challenges including enlarged leakage current and considerable

increase of investment budget. As a result, new TSV (Through Silicon Via)

based 3D IC technology is emerging as a promising next generation IC

technology in both semiconductor industry and academia. In the 3D IC, very

thin semiconductor dies of less than 30 um are vertical stacked to minimize the

package size and to maximize the semiconductor system performances. In the

3D IC, TSV is becoming the most critical vertical interconnection structure

between the semiconductor dies. Around world, most of the semiconductor

companies including Intel, IBM, TI, AMD and Qualcomm are seriously

considering the TSV based 3D IC as a future direction of the semiconductor

integration technology. In the TSV based 3D IC, signal integrity is becoming the

major design obstacle due to the high frequency loss, coupling, and

electromagnetic radiation, while more than thousand of vertical and lateral

interconnections are routed in a tiny 3D space. It could be even more serious in

3D IC for the applications of high-density and multi-function mobile multimedia,

computing, and communication system platforms. In this talk, new modeling,

25

measurement, design, and analysis approaches will be introduced in order to

enhance the performance and reliability of the 3D IC.

Number of audiences: 86

Number of IEEE members: 15

Speaker：Dr. Ji Chen Associate Professor

Time：2010/06/11 13:10~15:00

Topic：Time Domain Modeling for Nano-Scale Periodic Structures

Abstract：Periodic structures exhibit many interesting electromagnetic characteristics.

However, efficient electromagnetic modeling of these structures in time domain

are often difficult, in particular if the electromagnetic sources have finite extend.

In this talk, we shall review some new development in this area, such as

spectral FDTD for periodic structure modeling, the array-scanning-method

(ASM) FDTD modeling of the interactions between finite-sized electromagnetic

and periodic structures, and the effective electrical parameters extraction for

composite material using these techniques for EMC applications.

Time：2010/11/26(Friday) 13:10~15:00

Topic：The Exotic World of Metamaterials and its Relevance to EMI/EMC

Engineers

Abstract:

Metamaterials refers to engineered material with properties that do not exist in

naturally available media. The exotic properties of metamaterials include

negative permittivity, negative permeability or even negative permittivity and

negative permeability simultaneously resulting in negative index of refraction. In

fact, metamaterials include a class of artificial media characterized by a

permittivity that approaches zero over a narrow band of frequencies. The

important question is: can metamaterial offer any practical implication or even

application for EMI/EMC engineers? Can metamaterial provide cost-effective

26

solutions to some of the severe challenges in the areas of shielding and

filtering? In this talk, the topic of metamaterials will be demystified. Once the

fundamental properties of the different types of metamaterials are presented,

the effectiveness of such material in different EMI/EMC and other engineering

applications will become clear. We will explore some important applications of

metamaterials in EMI/EMC applications. While this presentation covers the

fundamental principles behind metamaterials, emphasis will be placed on

practical real-world engineering applications.

15. Instrumentation & Measurement Society Taipei Chapter (IM09) Prepared by Din-Ping Tsai (Chapter Chair)

The chapter activities in 2010 could be sorted in the following categories:

A. Sponsorship for International Conferences

B. Training Courses, Symposiums & Innovation Competition

International Conferences

In 2010, the chapter has involved in five international conferences. The chapter’s

contribution to each conference is listed below,

1. International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference

(I2MTC, May 3-6, 2010, Texas, USA) *Annual Featured Activity

The I2MTC conference is the biggest annual event of the I&M society. In 2009,

the chapter featured this conference by circulating the conference call for paper

announcement to local universities and research institutes. In the meantime the

chapter also started to collect the statistics of I2MTC conference participation of

Taiwanese in the previous year.

Gathering 20 contributed papers submitted from Taiwan to I2MTC 2010, the

chapter called for a Taiwanese delegation of around 15 members to participate in

the conference. On May 3, the chapter launched the first formal chapter-society

meeting attended by the IM society president, society officers, chapter chairs,

29

http://140.113.13.93/wireless/IEEE/SummerSchool/index.htm

chapter officers and the delegation member.

In the chapter-society meeting on May 3, the chapter secretariat, Dr. Chi Hung

Hwang reported the current chapter activity and development roadmap to the

society officers. The present officers, including the president, Mr. Kim Fowler and

the vice president of the membership development committee, Dr. Mihaela Albu

gave praise and promised support to the chapter’s future activities. In this

meeting, the chair of I&M Society New Zealand Chapter, Prof. Subhas

Mukhopadhyay was also invited to share his chapter experiences.

2. International Symposium on Optical Memory (ISOM, October 24-28,

2010, Hualien, Taiwan)

ISOM is an international conference hosted by the Japan Society of Applied

Physics for 19 times. In year 2010, the ISOM was jointly hosted by Japan and

Taiwan. The chapter provided technical sponsorship to the program committee of

the conference. On Feb. 3, the chapter officer of standard, Dr. Don Yau Chiang

attended the program committee meeting in Shizuoka, Japan; on May 24, the

chapter chair, Prof. Din Ping Tsai attended the brief program meeting held in

Colorado, U.S.; on June 22, the chapter called for another pre- program

committee meeting in Hsinchu, Taiwan; and on June 29, the vice chair of the

chapter, Dr. Fong Zhi Chen attended in person the program committee meeting in

Shizuoka, Japan

In addition to taking part in the program committee, the chapter also helped to,

Circulate the conference CFPs

Broaden the local attendance body

Recommend invited speakers and their visit arrangements

Give invited and contributed presentation by the chapter officers and

members

3. Asia-Pacific Data Storage Conference (APDSC, October 27-29, 2010,

Hualien, Taiwan)

APDSC is a biannual international conference featuring on the data storage

development in pan pacific Asia area. In year 2010, it was hosted by the Taiwan

Information Storage Association. The chapter also provided technical sponsorship

to the conference by suggesting proper invited speakers in the field of

instrumentation.

International Asia Conference on Optical Instrument and Measurement (ACPIM,

October 9-10, 2010 Shenzhen, China)

As the first and only IEEE I&M Society chapter in the broad Chinese area, the

30

chapter has gradually built up reputation and publicity domestically and

internationally, and has caught the eye and stirred attention in the mainland China

soon after the establishment.

Prof. Xueli Zhou and Prof. Yanwen Wu from China contacted the chapter seeking

for possibilities of conference technical sponsorship. 2010 International Asia

Conference on Optical Instrument and Measurement (ACPIM) will be held in

Shenzhen, China from Oct. 9 to 10, 2010.

The conference will provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers, and

government officials involved in the general areas of optical instrument and

measurement to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on

the future research directions of these fields. The conference aims meet that of

the chapter, and surely the chapter can be further known by participating in an

event with this big scale.

International Conferences on Applications of Electromagnetism and

Student Innovation Competition Awards (AEM2C, August 11-12, 2010,

Taipei, Taiwan)

2010 International Conference on Applications of Electromagnetism and

Student Innovation competition Awards will be held from August 11 to 12,

2010 in Oriental Institute of Technology, Taipei, Taiwan. The conference

and innovation competition provide a unified and unique international forum

for the applications of electromagnetism and innovation competition to

exchange ideas in the area of electromagnetics, including: EM wave

propagation, microwave measurement system, mobile phone design and

SAR, ISM applications, numerical analysis and modeling, experimental

validation, microwave imaging, antenna design and measurement for

communications, radars, industrial and automotive applications, and

EMC/EMI measurement. The conference has so far gathered sponsors

from IEEE community, namely Tainan AP Chapter, Antennas and

Propagation Society, Taipei Section AP, MTT, EMC, and us IM chapter. As

previous quoted that instrument technology is an interdisciplinary body,

sponsoring conference in a relatively less attaching field can definitely

broaden the chapter’s horizon and can help to pour in cross-field inspiring

point of views to the conference and reinforce the collaboration

relationships among chapters.

Training courses, symposiums and competition

One of the merits granted to the chapter members is free or

discounted admission to the training courses, symposiums and

31

competitions jointly held by the chapter. These activities were held

The ISITW was an international cooperation program sponsored by the National Science

Council of Taiwan. This program was open for the science and technology personnel and

government officials in the south east Asia region with selective travel reimbursement. The

workshop was jointly organized by the Instrument Technology Research Center of Taiwan and

the chapter. The workshop’s Call for Application was circulated to IEEE sections and IM

chapters. 25 were selected out of around 70 applicants, including department heads, college

deans, IEEE senior members, and the chapter chair of I&M Society New Delhi Chapter.

In the two weeks’ training workshop, the chapter helped to,

1. Circulate Call for Application news worldwide

34

2. Review the application package

3. Invite workshop speakers

4. Map the workshop course plan

This workshop was an annual training course held for 15 years in a row targeting on the

high end science and technology personnel in the South East Asia region where this program

shared significant publicity and reputation. This year it was the second time the chapter

involved in the workshop organization. This event attracted the attention of the IM society

members and officers in New Zealand, India, and Korea, and attended by an IEEE senior

member from Korea (Indian citizen) and the chapter chair of IEEE IM Society New Delhi

Chapter, Prof. Ved Ram Singh.

The feed back from Prof. Singh indicated

“It has been a good activity of IMS Taipei Chapter of IEEE-Taiwan Section, in its short

span of establishment. In future, the collaboration with IMS-Delhi can also be planned

to organize joint events in Instrument Technology.” (P .8, Attendee Report No. 14 of

2010 ISITW)

By jointly hosting this workshop, it helped to build up better publicity and credibility of the

IM society in the South East Asia region, which is a broad territory of membership yet to be

explored. It also help to added value to the IM society members by providing priority access (if

recommended by regional chapters) to this training course.

Category Innovation Competition*Annual Featured Activity

Title 2nd i-One Instrument Technology Innovation Competition

Place Hsinchu, Taiwan

Date Oct. 23, 2010 & Nov. 5, 2010

The 2nd i-One Innovation Competition was jointly held by the IEEE Instrumentation and

Measurement Society Taipei Section Chapter and the Instrument Technology Research

Center of Taiwan. This competition awarded the best innovator of ground breaking ideas on

instrumentation and measurement technology with the maximum prize of NTD 100,000

(around USD 3335). It was firstly held in year 2009 which registered by nearly 100

participants and grabbed the attention and sponsorship from several world-class companies,

such as National Instruments, Agilent Technologies, Isuzu Optics, etc.

This innovation competition, perceived by many local students as the channel to boost

their academic portfolio, continued to the second year with slight transformation. The 2nd i-

ONE was no longer available for registration for professionals in career but only for students

from high school to graduate level. Concentrated as a competition purely for students, this

competition aimed to lighten the importance of innovation from the threshold and advocate

instrumentation and measurement from an earlier stage.

The committee set upon the 2nd i-ONE innovation competition included 20 invited

members of former deputy ministers of the biggest funding agency of Taiwan, National

Science Council, department heads and professors from universities, and representatives

from industries. Three chapter officers jointly served as the committee members.

After eight months of preparation, registration, and preliminary competition, 14

proposals from two groups (youth and amateur) were selected to the final competition.

Representatives of the selected proposals were required to present their ideas with slides

and demonstrate the prototypes, if there’s any, to the reviewers and peer contestants. Below

listed the 14 groups selected to the final competition.

The competition winners were determined at the final competition on Oct. 23. The

winners outweighed the others by better creativity, theory and feasibility. The winners were

announced and presented at the award ceremony on Nov. 5. As previously mentioned, the

committee and the chapter had invited the President of IEEE Instrumentation and

36

Measurement Society, Mr. Kim Fowler to attend the award ceremony and relevant spin-off

activities. On Nov. 3, two days prior to the ceremony, the chapter organized a spin-off

symposium given by Mr. Fowler on the “Perspective on Future Instrumentation and

Measurement.” This symposium was attended by 15 chapter members and around 85 non-

chapter members. Mr. Fowler not only introduced the audience the challenge and prospect of

measurement, but also a comprehensive overview of the society’s current activities, new

ventures and services. Following the symposium was an administrative meeting in the form of

banquet that brought Mr. Fowler, officers of IEEE Taipei Section and the chapter for further

discussion over chapter-society administrative coordination and activity promotion.

By 10:30 in the morning, the ceremony began with the opening address from the

chapter chair, also the convener of 2nd i-ONE Instrument Technology Innovation Competition,

Prof. Din Ping Tsai who stated the contribution of instrument technology to the general

development of science and the outlook of this competition in the near future. “By the

introduction of IEEE society into this competition,” indicated by Prof. Tsai, “we have an easier

assess to present this competition to the international academic circles and publicize this

event more widely.”

Following this opening, the President of IEEE IM Society, Mr. Fowler also gave an

overview of the society to the present members and contestants, and presented awards to

the winners. As the only foreign invited guest of the award ceremony, Mr. Fowler grabbed the

attention of the contestants who so far had only very limited and vague ideas of how

globalization works in research circles. The introduction given by Mr. Fowler in relatively plain

English impressed and explored them the beauty of international organization, and seeded

the influence of the society and the chapter.

Based on random and informal interviews with the contestants, many expressed their

gratitude to this event for the opportunity of showing their ideas, a chance for them to think in

more depth (theories) and width (applications) of an interesting idea sprung from nowhere.

Many of them couldn’t hold their excitement of meeting the reviewers, committee members

and society and chapter officers, and of gaining the understanding to the society that they’ll

consider joining in the future. “This is a great and one of a kind event in instrumentation and

measurement,” indicated by the representative of Hokuang Optics, “and we are very glad to

take this chance connecting with the local student body and the international community.”

23. Sensors Council Taipei Chapter (SEN39) Prepared by Paul C.-P. Chao (Chapter Chair)

Sponsored Speech:

Chair Prof. Chao responded the speech invitation from the ITRI for the

technological conference of MATIA & CMOS MEMS on May 7, 2010.

Subject: Design of Analog Integrated Sensing Circuits

The objective of this speech is to design and implement the analog integrated

circuit chips for the wireless bio-signal transmission system. Via integration, we

can achieve minimizing the occupied area, consuming little power, making the

cost down and using conveniently. The analog integrated circuit chips have been

used in the medical applications to process the physiological signals. The source

45

of the signal is most coming from the electrocardiograpy (ECG).

All these designed analog integrated circuits are based on a generic CMOS two-

stage operational amplifier (op-amp). Design and characteristics of the CMOS

two-stage op-amp has been presented the speech. By using the op-amp, other

analog circuits could be constructed, such as instrumentation amplifier, gain

amplifier, switched-capacitor lowpass filter, and A/D converter. They are all

integrated into chips.

Prior to fabrication of chips, these building blocks are simulated by HSPICE.

Simulation results meet specifications. The circuit layout is drawn and simulated

(such as verification of DRC, LVS and LPE) until all the performance meet

specifications. The fabrication of chips uses the UMC 0.5μm double-poly double-

metal CMOS technology.

In order to identify the performance of these chips, the experimental on-board

system assembled by using discrete commercial chips and designed chips have

been verified in this research. The results showed that it meets the system

specifications. It is proved that by the integrating method, the occupied area can

be minimized, and the expense of the system can also be reduced.

Sponsored Speech

“The latest technology of Optoelectronic” delivered by Chien-Bin Chen (the

senior associated director of AUO, the largest display panel manufacturer) at

NCTU on Oct 6,2010.

Global oil reserve is estimated to last for only 40-50 years. Natural gas,

uranium and coal reserves also have their limitation. Solar energy is

inexhaustible and its utilization process generates no pollution. Solar energy

emitted from nuclear fusion becomes approximately 1.2x1014 kW when it

reaches earth surface after a trip of 150 million km and atmospheric

absorbance. Amazingly, one hour of this energy irradiation on earth can provide

the human energy need throughout the year.

Sponsored Speech

“Display Technology Introduction” delivered by Chung-Yu Tsai (the manager of

Chimei Innolux Corporation) at NCTU on Oct 13,2010.

This speech introduces the display technology and its trend. It includes several

topics like as CRT, OLED device and 3D display, etc. Color displays have

become a part of everyday life. From televisions to PC monitors to automobile

dashboards and even aircraft-cockpit instruments, the ubiquitous color cathode-

ray tube (CRT) introduced modern color technology into our lives. With the

advent of the shadow-mask color CRT around 1950 and the widespread

introduction of color television in the late 1950 and 1960s, color display

technology achieved important status. In recent past, consumers and system

developers had only very limited options when selecting a color display. Few

technology alternatives to the color CRT existed. Although the venerable color

CRT still commands a portion of the market, this device has undergone steady

declines in the market share as newer, more-compact, and more efficient

display technologies (such as LCDs) have come to the forefront. Advances in

display color performance have in turn provided the impetus for advances in

display color science by demanding new methods to measure, describe, control

and utilize color in imaging systems. Moreover, recent advances in color

imaging have even stimulated new ways to think about color and new

paradigms for using color to improve visual performance and to enhance image

understanding.

“Advanced Display Applications Market and Technology Trends” delivered by

Chun-Ming Su (the manager of Chilintech Corportation) at NCTU on Oct

27,2010.

The speech discusses the advanced-display market including E-paper and 3D

display and its technology trend. E Ink is currently the clear leader in e-paper

displays. E Ink screens are made by E Ink Inc., based in the US and owned by

Taiwan's PVI. E Ink displays are used by Amazon, Sony, Barnes & Noble and

other companies. E Ink displays are Electrophoretic, a science that was

discovered way back in 1807, and has to do with motion of particles under

influence of electric field. Currently E Inks are only black and white. In the future

we'll see color displays as well, hopefully within a couple of years. The 3D field

is divided into contents, hardware and software. In the sector, films, museums,

47

http://www.e-ink.com/

education, healthcare, video games and advertisements are promising areas.

Seed Planning has more than 10 years of experience in the 3D field, providing

insights into company strategies, products, systems, services and market size.

In 2009, there was the initial rise of Digital 3D cinema, followed by the spread of

3D television in 2010. In 2011, the naked eye 3D business is expected to raise

so, naked eye 3D display makers and effective sample cases are gaining

attention. This speech will provide us with the information that we need to

understand current trends in the naked eye 3D display market.

Sponsored Conference

Attendee: Pan-World Control Corporation: Dr.Weng-Bin Tsai, Nexcera

Corporation: Max,yuan, NCTU: Paul Chao, Fu-Ming Hsu, and Tzu-Chia Huang.

Discussing the design and realization of piezo with the company of Nexcera,

and decide the specs of piezo. The best means to accomplish this is to mount

the piezo in a cantilevered configuration on the vibration source.

It’s is essential to turn the piezo’s natural frequency to match that of the

vibrating source. The larger the tuning mass, the lower the natural frequency of

the piezo.

Each piezo contains two electrically isolated piezo wafers, which may be used

independently or bridged for increased voltage (series configuration) or current

output (parallel configuration ).

Series connection will double the open-circuit voltage compared to a single

wafer, and the effective capacitance will be 1/2 the single-wafer capacitance.

Parallel connection will double the current compared to a single wafer, and

theeffective capacitance will be double the single-wafer value.

The recommended is parallel connection

“Microfluidic Device for Separation and Sensing” delivered by Professor

Prashanta Dutta at NCKU on April 29, 2010

A new method is presented to separate cells in microfluidic devices by directing

the trajectories of cells along asymmetric receptor edges. This approach relies

on cell rolling, a physiological phenomenon involving transient interactions of

the cell with the receptors on a surface exhibited by leukocytes, stem cells,

cancer cells, among other cell types. P-selectin receptors were patterned by

microcontact printing and incorporated into microfluidic devices. When a

mixture of HL60 cells and microspheres was injected into the device, the cells

interacted with the patterned receptors, resulting in lateral deflection from one

flow stream to another. This process resulted in a simple, continuous-flow

separation of the cells from the microspheres. The present method is gentle

and non-invasive, making it suitable for therapeutic applications or analysis

where preservation of the cell phenotype is important. Furthermore, simplicity of

operation that minimizes the number of processing steps and enables use of

whole blood samples makes it suitable for point-of-care diagnostics.

Improvements in the design are under way to enhance the performance of

these devices and to apply the technology to specific problems including

49

separation of mesenchymal stem cells and analysis of neutrophils from whole

blood for detection of infection and sepsis.

Prof. Harvey Rutt

On September 30th, 2010, Prof. Harvey Rutt delivered two talks with the following

title: An introduction to Molecular Spectroscopy. His talk discusses about that

Molecules absorb primarily in the infrared and 'terahertz' part of the

electromagnetic spectrum through their vibrational and rotational motions. This

talk is a basic introduction to molecular spectroscopy. It has relevance both to the

analysis of the properties of gaseous molecules, but also to gas detection and

environmental aspects.

Professor Milton Feng

On November 16, 2010, Prof. Milton Feng delivered two talks with the following

title: Nanometer CMOS Power Device Model for Microwave and Millimeter-Wave

Amplifiers. Prof. Milton Feng is the Holonyak Chair Professor of Electrical and

Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign. His talk

focuses on the following subject.

An integrated system-on-chip power amplifier (PA) circuit using CMOS

technology for cost-effective and spectrum-efficient high-speed wireless

communication presents major challenges because the performance of PA has

been the limiter. At microwave and millimeter-wave frequency, the power scaling

issues and distributed effect put the constraints on PA design such as the trade-

off between output power and power added efficiency. Nanometer NMOS with ft

and fmax > 100 GHz is now available from CMOS foundries, however, the foundry

provided BSIM-RF model is unable accurately predict the I-V characteristics and

RF behaviors over biased range of power device with several hundred microns.

Therefore, advanced noise model and large–signal model which is able to predict

noise figure, nonlinear behavior and distributed effects is crucial for the

successful design of high-frequency LNAs and PAs.

We have developed CMOS large signal model, namely, ICF models based on

BSIM-RF model with layout parasitic and distributed effect of power CMOS

devices to accurately predict gain, output power, PAE and harmonic distortion at

microwave and millimeter-wave frequency. For S-band (~ 2.5 GHz) application,

we have developed ICF-D1 model for 130 nm x 1843 micron gate width and

demonstrated 2 stage PA with gain > 30 dB, Pmax = 25.5 dBm with PAE = 32%.

For W-band (~ 80 GHz) applications, we have developed ICF-D2 for 90nm

CMOS model validated over 110 GHz and demonstrated 2 stage coplanar

cascaded amplifier @ 80 GHz with gain > 18 dB, output power at 1 dB

compression P1dB = 10.8 dBm, saturated power Psat ~ 13 dBm and PAE ~

11.8%. Further development of power combining are need to achieve output

power > 100mW @ W-band. Without any doubt, we need to continue to improve

accurate modeling of power nanometer CMOS (130, 90, 65 and 45 nm) with

scaling capability to allow designers to perform power amplifier design with

predictable PA performance of output power, PAE, and harmonic. Addition

discussion on short channel high field noise model will be discussed if time is

available.

In this year, we held a tea party for new branch members. There are

approximately 20 members and 100 non-members attended, and most of these

non-members applied to join us. Throughout the gathering in beginning of

semester, the student council provides an opportunity allowing members to

62

interact and share their experiences. Moreover, two camps in NCTU are picked to

cooperate during the summer vacation. Student branch staff introduces the

history of IEEE and basic electronic knowledge to the camp members (high

school and college students). Through these activities we held, we can actually

promote IEEE to the other students.

As for other student branch activities at NCTU, I’m sorry that we haven’t received

their report. So I can’t provide any information for the secretariat. I regret about it.

community.

The annual activities in 2010 can be divided by two series:

Technology and Entrepreneurship Symposium

We invited the founder of Ubiquiti Networks, Robert J. Pera to shared the

experiences and key successful factors about BootStrapping Principles from

Marketing Strategies, Operational Strategies and Keys to building a great team.

Over 100 students participated in this symposium and exchanged experiences to

Robert J. Pera. Through professional analysis and discussion, Robert J. Pera

proposed the guidelines for technology development in USA. The speech and

discussion aroused the students for more understanding of innovation and

entrepreneurship. Thanks for all the support and participation.

Interview with Professor

Every year, NTU student branch invites professors from different fields, we collect

new technology knowledge and get more information from the professors.

Moreover, we plan to publish the conversation material to students by journal or

E-book

Orientation of Special Topic on Implementation

Cause every student in National Tsing Hua University(NTHU) department of EE is

required to take the Special Topic on Implementation course, we used to visit

about ten laboratories to make sure whether what they are researching is what

we are imagine. But it cost too much time for professors and students. According

to professor Chang, Meng-Fan’s advice, IEEE NTHU Student Branch decided to

hold an orientation.

By inviting each professor to the orientation to make a brief introduction, we can

let every student has a rough idea with each lab in only two nights. In break time

of the orientation, students who have interesting in any lab can talk with the

professor, and ask the professor whether they can join his/her lab to take the

Special Topic on Implementation course.

In two nights of the orientation this year, we Successful invited 23 professors who

belong to System Group, Power Engineering Group, Institute of Electronics

Engineering, Institute of Communications Engineering, and Institute of Photonics

Technologies. And there are 159 students attended. We also took advantage of

the time to introduce IEEE NTHU Student Branch, 27 students asked more

information after the orientation.

Competition of Special Topic on Implementation

We held the Competition of Special Topic on Implementation at the same time

when we held the orientation. The competition is held for those students who

67

have taken the Special Topic on Implementation course longer than half year. We

provided total NT.24’000 scholarship for top three teams to reward their hard

work, attract students to register the competition, and let juniors know what they

will do in next year.

There are 114 students attended the presentation of top eight teams, and voted

most popular team who can have a special prize. We also took advantage of the

time to introduce IEEE NTHU Student Branch, 23 students asked more

information after the orientation.

Council Membership recruitment shows a positive increase in the number of academic and

industry members.

PART D - GOALS AND PLANS

D.1 Increasing Member Population (Membership Development)

Since the population in Taiwan is only about 24 million, it is a challenge to have a big increase in

the number of members from the current 4000 IEEE members. Nevertheless, the ratio of the

number of graduate student and industrial members in IEEE Taipei Section is still far less than the

ratio in other Sections of Region 10. Although we will still keep promoting the participation of all

IEEE activities in academia, the major goal of membership development in the next two years is to

attract industry Engineers and graduate students to join IEEE. IEEE Taipei Section will also spend

more efforts in enhancing their technical specialties by sponsoring tutorials, seminars, and

conferences. In order to have more focus in industry, we will add a new officer for industrial

activities in our team.

Based on the works by the former IEEE Taipei section officers, we will continue publishing brand

new DM/pamphlets to promote IEEE island-wide and holding a series of activities for academia,

industry, and research organizations. By sponsoring conferences and seminars, we can stress the

privileges for attendees who are IEEE members in order to attract non-IEEE participants’ attentions

as well as providing IEEE application forms in the conference package for them to apply IEEE

membership conveniently.

Meanwhile, we will continue to translate the introductory material on IEEE into Chinese to

overcome the language barrier. Also we plan to launch IEEE Taipei Section Newsletter as another

new media channel to include related membership application information for potential IEEE

members. Furthermore, we will subsidize membership fee for students and propose to NSC

(National Science Council, Taiwan) to treat the membership count of a technical academic

organization as one of the Key Performance Indexes (KPI) for evaluation.

D.2 Promoting Membership UpgradeWe shall establish a committee to promote membership upgrade to encourage and help members

to reward their accomplishments by becoming senior members and fellows. Furthermore, we will

ask existing senior members and fellows for permission to disclose their experiences in applying

membership upgrade in Chinese for reference by others.

73

D.3 Establishing New Chapters and Student BranchesCurrently, there are 33 Chapter Societies within Taipei Section. However, we will keep trying to

assist other non-registered chapter societies to become new Chapters. As for the student side, the

Student Activities Officer will provide help to launch campus activities for supporting the

establishment of student branches at universities across Taiwan.

D.4 Rendering AwardsWe will give Chapter Awards and Chapter Contribution Awards to stimulate Chapter members’

willingness to promote activities together with Taipei Section, and cooperate with research

organizations like ITRI(Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan), III(Institute for

Information Industry), and enterprises to render representative awards exclusively for IEEE

membership. Moreover, to hold competitions for new ideas or technical inventions can encourage

teamwork from student branches and maintain active operation.

D.5 Holding ActivitiesIn addition to supporting and subsidizing Chapters and Student Branches for all kinds of activities,

we will also Invite University Presidents, Deans, and Chairmen to canvass the activities held by

IEEE Taipei Section. We will also publish IEEE Taipei Section e-Newsletters to inform the target

audience. Besides, we will solicit our members to participate Region 10 activities. If possible, we

will also hope to host these activities in Taipei.

D.6 Enhancing Website Function & Publishing Newsletter For the website function, our main task is to improve the interaction between IEEE Taipei Section

and its members. Thus, we will add interactive functions at IEEE Taipei Section website. Of course,

the basic function of integrating information of Chapters and student branches and advertising

career opportunities of enterprises will still be kept. For the newsletter, as will also publish e-

newsletter. We will not only send to our members but also publish in all possible network channels

to increase newsletter circulation.

D.7 Continuing Data Trans lation to Chinese The Chinese membership data is critical to help the promotion programs for membership upgrade.

We will ask Chapters to provide their member data in Chinese and also initiate other plans to obtain

more uncollected data.
