Marise Bafleur, Jean-Marie Dilhac & Vincent Boitier, LAAS-CNRS, TOULOUSE -France


mariseMarise Bafleur
received her Ph.D. degree and the State Doctorate degree in 1982 and 1987, respectively, from Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse, France. During her Ph.D. thesis, she worked on defect characterization of molecular beam epitaxy grown GaAs layers. Since 1983, she joined the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) at the Laboratory of Analysis and Architecture of Systems (LAAS-CNRS) in Toulouse, France. From the mid eighties to 1994, she developed research activities in the emerging field of smart power IC’s design and technologies. Since 1997, she has been leading at LAAS-CNRS a research activity in the field of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in CMOS and smart power technologies. From 2005 to 2012, she has been managing the “Integration of Systems for Energy Management” research group at LAAS-CNRS whose activities focus on the integration of advanced power devices, passive components and DC-DC converters, energy-autonomous wireless sensor networks as well as on providing integrated ESD protection solutions for advanced CMOS and smart power technologies. Since the end of 2014, she is leading “SYNERGY” strategic research at LAAS-CNRS dedicated to systems for smart energy m anagement. Since 2007, with her colleagues Jean-Marie Dilhac and Vincent Boitier, she started research activities in the field of the energy autonomy of wireless sensors for aeronautics applications, in particular, within cooperative projects with AIRBUS Group.

Keynote Speaker 2: Dr. Peter Baumgartner, Intel Principal Engineer – RFAD Group Manager, INTEL Germany

Presentation Title:   Characterization and modeling of advanced RFCMOS technologies for wireless communication circuits”

Peter Baumgartner, INTEL, Wireless Communication Group, Germany

peterPeter Baumgartner is an Intel Principal Engineer for RF and Analog devices. He received the Dipl.-Phys. degree from the Technical University of Munich, Germany in 1993 and the Dr. rer. nat. degree in physics from the Walter Schottky Institut Munich, Germany in 1997.  From 1992 until 1997, he was working on the optical and electrical characterization and fabrication of GaAs/AlGaAs nano structures, like single electron transistors, in-plane-gate transistors, quantum point contacts and phototransistors. In 1997 he joined the technology development department of Siemens AG and Infineon Technologies AG, Regensburg, working on CMOS transistor device and reliability engineering for embedded flash and CMOS technologies. From 2001 till 2004 he managed a quarter micron embedded flash technology and a 16bit embedded flash microcontroller product family for automotive applications. Since 2004 he is heading the RF and Analog Device team, working on device enablement for RF and power management applications.  Peters hands on work includes design and layout of characterization circuits for enhanced technology characterization, e.g. statistical accurate cap characterization, resistance mapping, mechanical stress effects, statistical flicker noise characterization, self heating and RF reliability. Other work fields are the development of circuit relevant device figure of merits for the above mentioned applications and the assessment of technology options. Peter has authored and coauthored more than 20 publications and 20 patents.
