| NECINA SemiTech SIG Seminar (April 16) Time: 6:30pm to 9:00pm, Thursday, April 16, 2009 Venue: Foley Hoag LLP, 1000 Winter St, North Entrance, Suite 4000, Waltham, MA To register, please go to http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=180095 Topics: Technologies for Analog, Mixed Signal, RF and mmWave ICs Analog and RF ICs are key enablers for advanced communications which have dramatically changed our daily life in many ways. This talk will first review the semiconductor IC market and the evolving applications. It will then cover different technology options and technology roadmap from leading foundry for analog/RF/mmWave IC designs. Device menus for advanced RFCMOS, SiGe BiCMOS, and high performance RF passives will be presented. It will provide insightful guidance in choosing proper technologies for appropriate applications with considerations of device performance scaling impact, system requirement, and cost. CMOS Silicon on Insulator: Enabling changes in RF designs Silicon on insulator (SOI) refers to the use of an insulator substrate instead of conventional silicon substrates in semiconductor manufacturing to reduce device parasitic and improve performance. After a journey of more than 20 years and leveraging with low currents consumption and high speed, SOI triumphantly shows off its successes in digital and mixed signal IC, from processors to game consoles. Benefiting from low cost and high integration, it is also quietly reaching into high performance RF/MW field which traditionally is dominated by III-V compound. The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of SOI from RF circuit designers' perspective, and to share with you what SOI has substituted, and what kind of innovations may be enabled in multi-mode multi-band front end module as well as in millimeter wave fields. Agenda 6:30pm-7:00pm Networking (Pizza will be served) 7:00pm-7:40pm RF/Analog Technology (Dawn Wang ) 7:40pm-7:55pm Questions and Answers 7:55pm-8:15pm RF CMOS SOI (Dr. Yang Li ) 8:15pm-8:30pm Questions and Answers Speakers Dawn Wang is a senior foundry application engineer in IBM Microelectronics. She had also held various senior technical positions in Texas Instruments and TriQuint Semiconductors in technology and product development for RF, Analog/Mixed Signal (AMS) integrated circuits. Dawn has published technical papers and holds US patents in RF/AMS designs. She is a member in wireless working group of International Technology Roadmap of Semiconductor (ITRS). Dawn Wang received her BSEE and MSEE from Tsinghua University in China. She also received her M. S. in Solid State Physics from Arizona State University. Dr. Yang Li is a principal engineer in Skyworks developing 3G/LTE power amplifier and front-end module. Before joining Skyworks, he was with Peregrine Semiconductor working on RF front-end designs on SOI. He also co-founded XEL focusing on short-range wireless communication technologies. Yang Li received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1996 and 2001, respectively. Registration: This event is open to all public.

We will provide a feedback sheet for every audience and collect it at the end of workshop for teams' reference. (The feedback will be anonymous) 4. 11:00am - 12:00pm Demonstration product/service & Networking Global Search for Technology Leaders Wuxi Binhu District Investment Conference (April 19) Do you have innovative ideas but find it is hard to make the dreams coming true in the current economic downturn? Would you be interested in how China is prepared with a view from the corner of a local government's stimulus package? Are you the top talent they are searching for to contribute to the fast development in China? A delegation from Wuxi municipal government and Wuxi K-Park will visit US to promote their newly developed initiative "530 Plan" (Please see http://www.wuxi530.org/go530detail.aspx?id=64 for more details in Chinese). During their trip, we are honored to have this opportunity to invite them to stop by Boston and bring this event to the local community by NECINA Global Exchange Center and NECINA Sponsor iSoftStone. Throughout the event, you will have the chance to hear what they have planned to implement the Wuxi 530 Initiative, how you can approach to them to present your ideas and business plans so that you can get their support and enjoy the great benefits of this program. In the delegation, there will be officials who are directly in charge of this program and they will be able to answer your questions and initiate your contact. Please join us along with innovators, entrepreneurs, and business people from China and US for a great networking event.
