Research Facilities
- Extensive modeling and simulation
facilities - several high end SUN workstations and PCs with layout,
technology, device and circuit modeling and simulation software - TMA
software, Cadence, MMICAD, HSPICE, PSPICE, Microwave ADS etc, and general
purpose programs (Mathcad, Mathlab
etc)
- HP Vector Network Analyzer Systems - 45 MHz
to 50 GHz and 45 MHz to 110GHz
- ATN Noise Parameter Measurement system - 2
to 26 GHz with HP Noise Figure meter and Test Set
- HP semiconductor parameter analyzers
- Two Karl Suss
wafer prober with temperature varying and
microwave/millimeter wave probing capabilities
- Low frequency noise measurement and
analysis system with HP dynamic signal analyzer, several low noise
amplifiers from EG&G and Ithaco and
rechargeable batteries
- Temperature varing
capabilities from -80C to 200C and 77K to 300K
- Tektronix analog oscilloscope with 1 GHz
bandwidth real-time and 50GHz (digital) and Tektronix camera plus several
general purpose laboratory oscilloscopes
- Several sensitive meters from HP and Keithley - electrometers, voltmeters and C-V meters
- Low noise power supplies from HP, Keithley and Kikusui -
voltage and current. High voltage supplies for testing avalanche
photodiodes and power semiconductor diodes
- Experimental set-up for charge pumping
measurements
- Experimental set-up for capacitance and
conductance versus voltage or frequency from 100Hz to 100 MHz using HP
gain-phase impedance analyzer
