RF SoC and SoP: Enabling Platforms for Miniaturized, Low Cost and Flexible Electronics

 

The social impact of innovations in electronics is undisputed. From hundreds of megahertz to millimeter-wave frequencies, the evolution of wireless has brought convenience into our day-to-day lives in the form of communication through smart phones, navigation by GPS, information sharing through wireless sensor networks and safety by automotive radars. The next in the line are intelligent, wearable, sensing and wireless communication devices. The demand for sensing and accessing information everywhere and all the time is driving the innovation in miniaturized, light-weight and low cost wireless technologies. The focus of this talk is to demonstrate miniaturization possible through highly integrated systems at the chip (system-on-chip “SoC”) as well as package (system-on-package “SoP”) levels for power efficient sensing and wireless communication applications. Representative designs in technologies such as standard CMOS, 3D LTCC packaging and inkjet-printing on paper will be presented. 

Atif Shamim – received his M.A.Sc. and Ph.D degrees in electrical engineering at Carleton University, Canada in 2004 and 2009 respectively. He was an NSERC Alexander Graham Bell Graduate scholar at Carleton University from 2007 till 2009 and an NSERC postdoctoral Fellow from 2009-2010 at Royal Military College Canada and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), KSA. In August 2010, he joined the Electrical Engineering Program at KAUST, where he is currently an Assistant Professor and principal investigator of IMPACT Lab. He was an invited researcher at the VTT Micro-modules Research Center (Oulu, Finland) in 2006. Dr. Shamim was the recipient of the best paper prize at the European Microwave Association Conference in 2008. He was given the Ottawa Centre of Research Innovation (OCRI) Researcher of the Year 2008 Award in Canada. His work on Wireless Dosimeter won the ITAC SMC Award at Canadian Microelectronics Corporation TEXPO in 2007. He received the best student paper finalist prize at IEEE APS conference in 2005. He also won numerous business related awards, including 1st prize in Canada’s national business plan competition and was selected for OCRI Entrepreneur of the year award in 2010.  He is an author/co-author of over 100 international publications and an inventor on 12 patents. His research interests are in integrated on-chip antennas, low power CMOS RFICs for system-on-chip (SoC) applications and advanced system-on-package (SoP) designs in multilayer LTCC, LCP, and paper substrates through screen and inkjet printing techniques. Dr. Shamim is a Senior Member of IEEE and serves on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He is the founding chair of IEEE MTTS and APS joint chapter for Western Saudi Arabia.
