This talk will cover practical challenges for cryogenic CMOS designs for next generation quantum computing. Starting from system level, it will detail the design considerations for a non-multiplexed, semi-autonomous, transmon qubit state controller (QSC) implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. The QSC includes an augmented general-purpose digital processor that supports waveform generation and phase rotation operations combined with a low power current-mode single sideband upconversion I/Q mixer-based RF arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology, the QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range, achieving an SFDR > 50dB for a signal bandwidth of 500MHz. With the controller operating in the 4K stage of a cryostat and connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage, measured transmon T1 and T2 coherence times were 75.5μS and 73 μS, respectively, in each case comparable to results achieved using conventional room temperature controls. In further tests with transmons, a qubit-limited error rate of 7.76x10-4 per Clifford gate is achieved, again comparable to results achieved using room temperature controls. The QSC’s maximum RF output power is -18 dBm, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW Speaker(s): Sudipto Chakraborty, Agenda: Refreshments Distinguished Lecture Room: B205, Bldg: Engineering Quad, Olden Street, Princeton, New Jersey, United States, 08544

The main goal of this seasonal school is to dive deep into the rapidly developing field of in-memory computing with a focus on Artificial intelligence (AI) and cover its cross-layer design challenges from device to algorithms. The IEEE Seasonal School in Circuits and Systems on In-Memory Computing (IMC 2024) offers talks and tutorials by leading researchers from multiple disciplines and prominent universities and promotes student short presentations to demonstrate new research and results, discuss the potential and challenges of the in-memory accelerators, future research needs, and directions, and shape collaborations. First Talk Title: Developing True Intelligent System: Tools and Case Studies In recent years, we have seen tremendous growth in the AI/ML domain. However, we are still far away from building truly intelligent automated systems. To achieve a true intelligent agent, one should better human decisions and should learn continuously with minimal human intervention. In this talk, we talk about Reinforcement Learning (RL), one key tool to achieving this intelligence. We will discuss the recipe for leveraging RL to create true intelligent systems. As a proof of concept, we discuss two research directions on leveraging RL tools to create intelligent automated agents. Finally, we touch upon some open questions that need to be addressed to realize the dream of true intelligent systems. Second Talk Title: General-Purpose Processing in Memristive Memory Arrays In the last decade, computing systems have faced several challenges that have slowed down their performance improvement substantially. Moreover, we are facing serious challenges and concerns regarding the energy consumption of computing systems. To contain this increasing gap between performance demand and supply alternative paradigms and technologies have been heavily researched. One of the outstanding alternatives is Memory-Centric Computing (MCC). The main idea of MCC is to process data as close as possible to the memory. This reduces the delay and energy overhead associated with loading data for processing and sending it back to the memory for storing the results. MCC can be performed using any memory technology. Among various memory technologies, memristors stand out as one of the best candidates. They are non-volatile, fast, extremely compact, and compatible with the widely used Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. These properties give them an edge in terms of energy efficiency, speed-up gains, price, and their potential share in the future market, respectively. In this talk, we focus on computation inside the memory array and using stateful logics. Processing data inside the array leads to the minimum data travel distance possible, which maximized the associated benefits. We present an overview of some the computational units that we have proposed, such as adders, multipliers, sorting systems, and filters, some of which are combine MCC with other emerging computing paradigms such as stochastic and approximate computing.

Passivity theory is one of the cornerstones of control theory providing a systematic way to study the stability of interconnected systems. In practice, many systems are not passive, and must be passivized in order to be included in the framework of passivity theory. Input-output (loop) transformations are the most general tool for passivizing systems. In this paper, we propose a characterization of all possible input-output transformations that map a system with given shortage of passivity to a system with prescribed excess of passivity. We do so by using the connection between passivity theory and cones for SISO systems, and using the S-lemma for MIMO systems. We also present several possible applications of our results, including simultaneous passivation of multiple systems or with respect to multiple equilibria, as well as optimization problems such as $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain minimization.

Our speaker for this month is Mr. Jeffrey Mayer, whose initial degree was in Zoology followed by a 10-year career in the Navy, separating as a Lieutenant Commander. He returned to college earning a BS EE and later a Master's in Technical Management. After a brief stint in private industry, Mr. Mayer returned to the federal government to serve as the lead systems engineer and program manager for several small but challenging training and weapon system programs. He will discuss what it takes to be successful when dealing with others (management and engineers) and how to groom yourself for advancement…the plusses and minuses. One area, as an engineering manager, he found that young people entering the workforce have certain expectations and shortcomings. He always felt (since he was 22) that it was his job to make them successful. Agenda: 4:15 PM registration and refreshments 4:30 PM Presentation by Jeffrey Mayer followed by questions and answers.

Fundamental physical limits apply to many key antenna performance parameters (gain, Q-factor, efficiency), particularly when device dimensions are small relative to operating wavelengths – the “electrically small” regime. These limitations cannot be exceeded by linear time-invariant (LTI) devices, and can manifest as critical bottlenecks for communications and sensing technology. In this talk, we survey recent work on moving antenna technology away from the classical LTI design paradigm and toward active, non-linear, and time-varying systems. Emphasis is placed on research incorporating time-varying elements into antennas and matching networks with the goal of exceeding physical bounds on LTI antenna metrics. This includes direct antenna modulation (DAM), which treats time-varying antennas and matching networks as active parts of the modulation process, allowing for efficient, extreme instantaneous radiated signal bandwidths from electrically small apertures. Additionally, the co-design of electrically small antennas with parametric pumping networks for broadband, low-noise receive applications will be presented. Modeling challenges and simulation approaches for time-varying radiators will be discussed and several theoretical concepts in the area of time-varying antennas will also be surveyed, including the extension of effective aperture to time-varying antennas and the effect of cross-frequency coupling on the effective receiver noise temperature.

Estate planning encompasses various components, and knowing which ones apply to you and the correct order in which to address them is essential. Often, people focus on reducing inheritance taxes at the expense of maximizing retirement cash flow and lowering effective tax rates. It is crucial to understand how properly structuring assets and cash flows can lead to increased retirement cash flow and reduced tax rates during your lifetime. Our keynote speaker is Shaun Scutellaro, CPA and Partner at Cohn Reznick, LLP. Shaun has extensive career experience in public and private accounting and domestic and foreign tax. He is a member of the AICPA and NJCPA and is beginning a term on the board of Trustees for NJCPA compliance for individuals. Shaun will guide us through his expertise in a brief and insightful seminar on estate planning.

Talk Title: PC Board Design and Layout for Low-EMI Power Conversion Presentation Outline: As a consultant for over 10 years, Kenneth has realized the root cause of many design issues revolves around the circuit board design and how the I/O and power connectors are arranged and filtered. Poor board designs and poor interconnect placement and filtering can result in radiated emissions, radiated immunity, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) compliance failures, among others. Bad designs often result in endless cycles of trial and error mitigation, compliance testing and board spins. This drags out the schedule and is very costly. In the presentation, Kenneth will explain how digital signals propagate in boards as electromagnetic fields. He will also explain how interconnect placement and poor filtering design and layout can affect the EMI performance. Once you understand this, then board stack-up, trace routing, filter design and interconnect placement should become very clear and you should be able to design a low-EMI board the first time! About the speaker: Kenneth Wyatt is principal consultant of Wyatt Technical Services LLC and served three years as the senior technical editor for Interference Technology magazine from 2016 through 2018. He has worked in the field of EMC engineering for over 30 years with a specialty in EMI troubleshooting and pre-compliance testing. He is a co-author of the popular EMC Pocket Guide and RFI Radio Frequency Interference Pocket Guide.

Distinguished Lecture (Virtual) - Civilized Collaboration: Ethical architectures for enforcing legal requirements and mediating social norms in Human-robot Interaction Prof. Ronald C. Arkin, Georgia Tech, IEEE Fellow Abstract: The ways in which we treat each other, typically underpinned by an ethical theory, serve as a foundation for civilized activity. Bounds and requirements are established for normal and acceptable interactions between humans. If we are to create robotic systems to reside among us, they must also adhere to a set of related values that humans operate under. This talk first describes the importance of such conventions in human-robot interaction, then outlines a way forward including the difficult research questions remaining to be confronted in ethical human robot interaction (HRI). In particular, examples involving architectures using ethical governors, moral emotions, responsibility advisors and theories of mind are described in two quite different contexts: warfare and the maintenance of human dignity in healthcare. Even the role of deception must be considered as an important adjunct to HRI, as it may yield more effective intentional and autonomous social robots if properly deployed. Finally, we can consider how robots may eventually be able to engineer more socially just human beings via nudging and the ethical questions associated with using such devices. Prof. Ronald C. Arkin is Professor Emeritus with the College of Computing at Georgia TechProf. Arkin was named a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology in 2012 and a Distinguished Visitor for the IEEE Computer Society in 2023. He was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 2003.

Reliability of Metal Gate / High-K CMOS devices 4PM Monday, Nov 11, 2024 Golisano Hall - GOL 1710/20/30 (Cybersecurity Wing) Andreas Kerber, PhD IEEE Senior Member and Distinguished Lecturer e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Aggressively scaled transistor technologies with metal gate/high-k stacks encounter additional reliability challenges beside bias temperature instability (BTI) in PMOS and NMOS devices, time dependent dielectric breakdown and hot carrier degradation. Time-zero variability and variability induced by device aging is a growing concern which needs to be modeled using stochastic processes. The physical nature of the stochastic process remains under debate and to support model development efforts large statistical data sets are essential. In addition, self-heating during reliability testing can be observed in novel device structures like bulk FinFET, SOI FinFETs, FDSOI and gate-all-around devices and needs proper attention. Furthermore, to increase the confidence in the discrete device reliability models, device-to-circuit correlations need to be established. In this presentation we discuss how to obtain stochastic BTI data for discrete SRAM and logic device beyond 3s, address device-to-circuit correlations using ring-oscillators and explore self-heating effects in FinFET and SOI devices.

Career Enhancer: Influential Communication at All Levels Clear and effective communication is at the heart of successful leadership, teamwork, and customer relationships, but it’s often dismissed by engineers as a trivial “soft skill”. In fact, they should view it as a “secret weapon” enabling them to unlock the true potential of their technical talent. Imagine being able to smoothly guide your team or manager to back your great idea, rather than being frustrated because they just don’t grasp it. Picture yourself gracefully navigating the competing priorities across the departments of your organization to get the resources you need. Consider how valued you’d be by your company if you were able to maintain the customer’s confidence even when things aren’t going to plan. This talk will leave you with practical strategies, tactics, and tips you can apply immediately to your job whether you’re an intern, a VP, or any role in between.

Dr. Muhammad Saad Zia will give a technical talk titles "Effects of Beam Misalignment on the Performance of Millimeter-Wave Cellular Networks". The talk presents an approach to model the effect of beam alignment errors arising due to inaccurate channel estimation and analyze the impact on the system-level performance of a directional millimeter-wave (mm-wave) cellular network. Specifically, by modeling the variance of the beam alignment errors in terms of link parameters and utilizing stochastic geometric techniques, the loss in the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and rate coverage of the network is quantified. The talk considers two network configurations: 1) Modeling and analysis of a mm-wave only network with single-user beamforming at the BS and an isotropic antenna at the user, and 2) Extension to a heterogeneous network consisting of sub-6 GHz and mm-wave BSs.

Abstract: There are several common misunderstandings and controversies that can have significant impact on costs, quality and reliability of ESD programs. These misunderstandings or "myths" result in costly unnecessary expenditures and/or a compromise of the program integrity. These same myths are often cited by skeptics who do not fully understand the physics involved. Consequently, it is important to identify and dispel these myths. Latency is a significant reliability consideration that is surrounded with controversy. Some experts will argue that latency is virtually non-existent while others claim that it is the dominant failure mode. Join us for this highly interactive discussion and learn about Latency as well as common myths such as: Myth: ANSI/ESD S20.20 Is Sufficient For Class 0 Technologies Myth: HBM Failures Dominate ESD Failures Myth: Circuit Boards are Always Less Sensitive to ESD than Devices Myth: Airflow Causes Charging Myth: Humidity Control is Essential for ESD Myth: Fieldmeters Make Accurate Measurements on Machines Myth: Latency Failures Comprise 90% of ESD Failures Co-sponsored by: ESDA NE Chapter Speaker(s): Ted Dangelmayer Agenda: 5:30 PM Pizza, salad, soda, and Networking 6:00 PM Technical Presentation 6:45 PM Questions and Answers 7:00 PM Adjournment Bldg: Main Cafeteria, Lincoln Laboratory, 244 Wood St, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02421, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438543

Abstract: Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are being connected to the power grid to help with grid services and increasing power demands. BESSs contain stacks of battery cells that are controlled and managed by battery management systems (BMSs). Some critical functions of BMSs are sensing, estimating battery states like the state of charge (SoC), and balancing cells; BMS sensors are susceptible to cyberattacks like false data injection attacks (FDIAs) which can be used to corrupt SoC estimation, and could result in thermal runaway events. As part of a defense in depth cybersecurity approach for BESSs, cyberattack detection methods are needed within BMSs to monitor for cyber intrusions. In this talk, a three-pronged method combining battery modeling, estimating, and a recursive summation algorithm is used to detect FDIAs targeting battery voltage sensors. The method consistently exhibits accurate FDIA detection with false positive rates as low as 0%.

We will look at a clever design for determining how much oil remains in an oil tank. Such a device can be used by oil delivery services to keep track of their customers. Oil delivery services monitor their customers' tanks for a few reasons: - for contract deliveries, to avoid “runouts”, - for COD deliveries, to prompt customers for a fill, - to ensure customer retention, and - to eliminate the reliance on the K-factor, which is the basis for a guess as to what is the level of an unmonitored tank. Arnold Stillman, founder of POEM Technology, the company that developed this system will present the design of a tank monitor that uses a pressure tube to measure liquid levels. Using a pressure tube allows monitoring buried tanks where competing sensing methods do not work. Some of the topics that will be discussed include: - The economics of heating oil delivery - Types of tanks - Types of tank monitors - Pumpless manometry - Cellular IoT Economics - IoT Protocols - IoT Hardware Design - IoT backend - User interface Speaker(s): Arnold Stillman Agenda: 7:00 PM Networking and Announcements 7:20 PM Presentation Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/441928

Silicon has been the dominant material for electronic computing for decades, but it is well-known that Moore’s law is long dead. Therefore, a fervent search for (i) new semiconductors that could directly replace silicon or (ii) new architectures with novel materials/devices added onto silicon or (iii) new physics/state-variables or a combination of above has been the subject of much of the electronic materials and devices research of the past 2 decades. This is not possible without fundamental innovation in new electronic materials and devices. Therefore, I will make the case that novel layered two-dimensional (2D) chalcogenide materials and three-dimensional (3D) nitride materials might present interesting avenues to overcome some of the limitations being faced by Silicon hardware. I will present our work on integration of 2D chalcogenide semiconductors with Silicon to realize low-power tunnelling field effect transistors. In particular I will focus on In-Se based 2D semiconductors for this application and extend discussion on them to phase-pure, epitaxial thin-film growth over wafer scales, at temperatures low-enough to be compatible with back end of line (BEOL) processing in Silicon fabs. I will then discuss memory devices from 2D materials when integrated with emerging wurtzite structure ferroelectric nitride materials namely aluminium scandium nitride (AlScN). First, I will present on Ferroelectric Field Effect Transistors (FEFETs) made from 2D materials when integrated with AlScN and make the case for 2D semiconductors in this application. Next I will introduce our work on Ferroelectric Diode (FeD) devices also based on thin AlScN. I will also present how FeDs provide a unique advantage in compute-in-memory (CIM) architectures for efficient storage, search and hardware implementation of neural networks. Finally, I will present ongoing work and opportunities to extend the application of AlScN ferrodiodes into extreme environments, scaling them and integration with SiC electronics. I will end the talk with a broad perspective on the role of novel materials and heterostructures in semiconductor technologies for electronic computing.

[] This presentation describes open-source software and guides we have assembled into a digital audio effects development kit, and our efforts using these resources in our annual FX Hackathon event held at WPI. Audio processes and their uses in musical contexts is a challenging subject area. We have addressed this difficulty by creating an effect development kit including a software-based tool to facilitate rapid effect prototyping and guides for assembling hardware around a microcontroller housed in a guitar pedal stompbox-sized enclosure. With these resources, students need only focus on understanding the specific audio process they wish to implement into an effect and then use these resources to realize the effect in a standalone device. What is the Electric Guitar Innovation Lab (EGIL) @ WPI? Through the Electric Guitar Innovation Lab, WPI students and faculty work together in a variety of interdisciplinary and open-ended projects to develop new innovations related to the electric guitar, including the modification to instruments and components, stompboxes and other effects processors, amplifiers and speaker components, and related inventions and adaptations. We routinely reverse-engineer, 3D model ,3D scan, program and adapt existing parts and tools, and then create tool-pathing operations, fabricate parts, and perform real-world and software-based simulations.

Dual-band antennas, which are essential for the functionality of current and forthcoming flexible wireless communication systems, face increasing complexity and design challenges as demands and requirements for IoT-connected devices become more challenging. The study demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) can streamline the antenna design process, enabling customization for specific frequency ranges or performance characteristics without exhaustive manual tuning. By utilizing ML and DL tools, this research not only enhances the efficiency of the design process but also achieves optimal antenna performance with significant time savings. The integration of AI in antenna design marks a notable advancement over traditional methods, offering a systematic approach to achieving dual-band functionality tailored to modern communication needs. We approached the antenna design as a regression problem, using the reflection coefficient, operating frequency, bandwidth, and voltage standing wave ratio as input parameters. The ML and DL models then are used to predict the corresponding design parameters for the antenna by using 1,000 samples, from which 700 are allocated for training and 300 for testing. This effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through the successful application of various ML techniques, including Fine Gaussian Support Vector Machines (SVM), as well as Regressor and Residual Neural Networks (ResNet) with different activation functions, to optimize the design of a dual-band T-shaped monopole antenna, thereby substantiating AI's transformative potential in antenna design.

Deep neural networks make it possible to learn key characteristics of data without having to assume mathematically tractable models. This in turn results in an ability to compress data in a model-free way. One of the promising areas for the application of deep learning to the physical layer of communication networks is compression. Hundred-fold compression with a small loss of the CSI in massive MIMO systems has been shown to be both feasible and necessary. However, model-free and data driven compression comes with a downside: the encoding and decoding models need to be trained on a large set of CSI arrays indicative of a wide spectrum of propagation and environmental conditions. As a result, in the early stages of the deployment of deep CSI compression models, it would be necessary to detect if and when users’ channels have drifted significantly away from the distribution of the CSI data on which the deep compression model was trained. In this paper, we present both 1) a technique for detecting harmful channel drift and 2) a lightweight scheme for fine-tuning the deep compression models to adjust to such shifts. Using public-domain synthetic channel data as well as 3GPP-compliant simulated data, we demonstrate the practicality of our proposed deep compression and detection framework. We close with recommendations for a viable implementation of the proposed drift detection by the standards bodies.
