Topic 1: Multiphysics Method for High-Power Electromagnetics

Abstract 1: We are now facing considerably concerns on intentional and
non ]intentional electromagnetic interferences (IEMI & EMI) issues
related to various communication platforms, which can cause serious
degradation in reliability of devices, circuits and systems. In this
seminar, multiphysics based time ]domain finite element method will be
introduced and implemented for fast capturing transient electro ]thermo
]mechanical responses of various on ]chip interconnects, devices and
circuits under the impact of an (I)EMI signal, such as double
]exponential high ]power EMP and electrostatic discharge(ESD), etc.

Topic 2: Multiphysics Method for Nanoelectronics

Abstract 2: More recently, significant progress has been achieved in the
development of carbon nanotube (CNT)- and graphene-based interconnects
and field effect transistors (CNTFET&GFET). In order to thoroughly
understand signal transmission characteristics of single-, double-,
multi-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT & DWCNT& MWCNT) and few-layer
graphene transmission lines together with input-output responses of both
CENTFET and GFET, we have to take quantum effects into account
appropriately.

In this talk, multiphysics solutions to various SWCNT, DWCNT, MWCNT,
few-layer graphene nanoribbon transmission lines and active devices will
be presented, and both frequency- and temperature- dependent quantum
effects will be treated in detail. Also, CNT- and graphene-based
shielding structures for EMC applications with be addressed and discussed.
