Seminar Series on Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology at HP Labs/Quantum Science Research S.Y. Wang

3:30- 5:00 p.m.
EC326, Bannan Engineering Building

An overview of nanotechnology research at HP Labs/Quantum Science Research will be given. The QSR mission is to break away from the current “scaling” down approach and seek out and/or invent innovative approaches that have the potential for high-volume manufacturability to break through the ITRS Red Brick Wall, and extend the limit of the technology. Nanofabrication challenges and possible applications will also be discussed.
Biography of Dr. Shih-Yuan Wang |
Shih-Yuan (SY) Wang received his B.S. in Engineering Physics in 1969 and Ph.D. in EECS in 1977, both from UC Berkeley. As a graduate student he worked for Prof. Townes on a traveling wave MASER and Professors Gustafson and Whinnery on high-speed tunneling devices in nanostructures which culminated in a Ph.D. degree. In 1977, he joined Hewlett-Packard Company in the Microwave Semiconductor Division working on low-noise GaAs MESFETs and in 1980 he joined Hewlett-Packard Laboratories where he initiated work on high-speed photonic devices, beginning with 20 GHz and 100 GHz infrared photodiodes, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL), III-V traveling wave electro-optic modulators, and finally blue GaN LED and lasers. From 1985 to 1987 he was also a visiting Gordon Mackay lecturer at the EECS department of UC Berkeley. In 2000, he co-founded Gazillion Bits, Inc. and worked on SOA and microstructured optical fibers. In 2003 he was a consultant to Hewlett-Packard Laboratories and recently he became a senior staff scientist at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Quantum Science Research group working on nanotechnology. SY is a Fellow of IEEE and OSA.
