3rd International Conference on Nano-Networks (Nano-Net 2008)

damira — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:08:09 +0000

Short description

The Nano-Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nano-technologies on one-side, and network/communication theory on the other side. The standing question that this conference will address is: What are the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale devices? The related degrees of freedom and constraints associated with these new technologies will change our notions about efficient network and system design. Nano-Net provides a multi-disciplinary forum for the discussion of new techniques in modeling, design, simulation, and fabrication of network and communication systems at the nano-scale.

Sponsors: Create-Net, ICST, EU (IST-FET), ENIAC
Industry Sponsor: STMicroelectronics

Akustica was formed in 2001 when Dr. Kaigham (Ken) Gabriel, widely recognized as the architect of the MEMS industry, and technology start-up veteran James H. Rock, partnered to commercialize acoustic MEMS technology from Carnegie Mellon University. Akustica holds the exclusive license to these patents and continues to independently develop additional technologies supporting the company's mission to create and commercialize a new generation of sound solutions.

Akustica's acoustic System-on-Chip solutions - called Microphone Chips and Speaker Chips - combine the functionality of MEMS microphones or speakers with software and microelectronics onto a single, standard CMOS semiconductor chip. Unlike other MEMS chips that are fabricated using captive, costly and cumbersome manufacturing processes, the starting point for the manufacture of Akustica's chips are standard CMOS wafers which can be produced at any standard CMOS foundry.

Apogee was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1987, and initially operated through its wholly owned subsidiary, Apogee Acoustics Incorporated. Acoustics engineered, manufactured and marketed high quality, high-end patented ribbon loudspeaker systems for use in home audio and video entertainment systems. This technology was so innovative that a pair of Apogee loudspeakers is on display at the Smithsonian Museum. The Company built upon this audio experience and developed the worlds first all-digital, high efficiency audio amplifier ICs, which it trade trademarked as Direct Digital Amplification or DDX. DDX technology became the market leader and in conjunction with the Company's DDX technology licensee, STMicroelectronics, the companies developed over 25 DDX ICs that had total sales of over 35 million devices to leading consumer brands such as Fujitsu, Harman Kardon, Hitachi, Kenwood, LG, Philips, RCA, Samsung, Sharp, Sony and Zenith. In October of 2005, the Company sold its audio business, including its DDX technology to SigmaTel, Inc., a leader in mixed-signal integrated circuits for the consumer electronics and computing markets.

In May 2004, the Company acquired a portfolio of MEMS intellectual property, trade secrets and know-how developed by Standard MEMS, Inc. as part of its strategy to diversify its technology base and customer base. Concurrently the Company hired key staff from the former Standard MEMS and established a MEMS Division. The Company is leveraging these acquired assets to develop a family of proprietary products for the automotive, consumer, industrial and medical markets. Since the formation of the MEMS division, the Company has introduced a family of pressure sensor products, under the Sensilica brand name, and has also announced that it had developed a MEMS based biomedical device for enhanced transdermal drug delivery.

Applied MEMS originated as the MEMS R&D organization for Input/Output, with the mandate to develop a manufacturable, robust, micro-g accelerometer that would enable the world's first digital multi-component seismic sensor for the oil and gas exploration industry. The goal was achieved and it was commercialized as the VectorSeis seismic sensor, which represents a paradigm shift for the oil and gas exploration industry. VectorSeis offers performance and field deployment advantages over conventional seismic geophones. VectorSeis has energized new thinking on how to further apply MEMS technology to the various aspects of the oil and gas field life cycle, from exploration through appraisal drilling and production from the well.

The seismic accelerometer program helped Applied MEMS establish a state-of-the art MEMS organization, intellectual property portfolio, and facility that can be applied to meet the MEMS product and service needs of our customers. Input/Output and Applied MEMS have a synergistic relationship - Input/Output can be viewed as a built-in investor and customer for Applied MEMS, and Applied MEMS is effectively a non-captive foundry for MEMS end users.

Cavendish Kinetics’ Nanomech-based activities are focused on the development and qualification of Non Volatile Memory technology which originated at the famous Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University.

Nanomech™, using standard CMOS process technology, enables the implementation of unique storage functions with ultra low-power, high speed read/write characteristics combined with an ability to continue to fully function (read and write) at temperatures up to 200°C and are completely insensitive to radiation. Compared to current technology, Nanomech storage devices offer 200x increased write performance while consuming 50x to 100x less power. The ultra low power of Nanomech™ devices is based on the ability to program them at native voltages (e.g. 1.0V for a 130nm process). These devices are fully scalable to below 45nm.

Cavendish Kinetics is an IP company; it delivers its products in the format of an IP package which is composed of the embedded process module, a set of Design IP packages and a service organization that will help install and qualify the embedded process module and supporting design IP at the customers’ fabrication facility. This combination guarantees the customer an easy integration path, full access to the combined expertise of the Cavendish team and the shortest time to market for the products that will use Cavendish Kinetics’ IP. All products are demonstrated first on an industrial qualified CMOS process.
