Abstract:
5G, the next generation cellular standard will cover different usage scenarios covering enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable, low latency communication (uRLLC) and low power massive machine-to-machine communication (mMTC). In this talk, I’ll focus on eMBB aspect of 5G - particularly the mmWave based eMBB. The talk will highlight different hardware architecture options and key figures of merits for the radio interface of mmWave 5G eMBB. The focus of the talk will be discussing different chip partitioning options and how differentiated mmWave silicon technologies like partially and fully depleted SOI, Silicon-Germanium BiCMOS can address the requirements and challenges for different mmWave 5G radio architectures for both User Equipments (UE) and Infrastructures (small cell, backhaul).

Abstract:
Up to this point in the evolution of leading edge Silicon CMOS technologies the qualification of the latest nodes has been carried out using the methods and targets dictated by digital/logic applications. For RF applications the digital centric methodology and metrics will no longer be applicable. We will discuss the reliability impact and the qualification activities driven by the need to support reliable operation for RF circuit applications. The CMOS solutions for RF applications include the introduction of SOI that may introduce additional reliability considerations. The path to maintaining the advanced CMOS scaling cadence and new reliability limiting factors will be examined from the reliability perspective. We will also review the reliability requirements for RF reliability devices and applications as we prepare to introduce technologies to serve the 5G infrastructure requirements. A closer look will be given to Hot Carriers. The characterization, models and qualification methodologies will be put in the required perspective for the successful qualification and transfer of leading edge technologies to a manufacturing environment.
Biography:
Dr. Fernando Guarín is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Global Foundries in East Fishkill New York. He retired from IBM’s SRDC after 27 years as Senior Member of Technical Staff. He earned his BSEE from the “Pontificia Universidad Javeriana”, in Bogotá, Colombia, the M.S.E.E. degree from the University of Arizona, and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University, NY He has been actively working in microelectronic reliability for over 35 years.
