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.
