Kejun Xia - Bipolar Devices
Kejun Xia (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA in 2006. After graduation, he joined Maxim Integrated, Beaverton, OR, USA, where he served as a Senior Principal Member of Technical Staff leading the modeling activities for the advanced BCD & SiGe BiCMOS technologies. From 2014 to 2015, he was with the Analog & Sensor BU at Freescale Semiconductor, Chandler, AZ, USA, as a modeling manager, where he expanded his experience to modeling ESD, Reliability, MEMS, product behavior model, etc. From 2016 to 2019, he managed a device and product modeling team for NXP Semiconductors, Chandler, AZ, USA, where he currently manages a High Voltage and Analog Technology Development Team.
Dr. Xia’s research interests include device physics, process, compact modeling, model and its interaction with analog circuits. He has published many technical papers in renowned journals and conferences. He has been a frequent reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Electron Device Letters, and Solid-state electronics. He has served as a guest editor for IEEE TED and JEDS special issues. He has been on the technical program committees for the IEEE EDTM conference. He is a member of IEEE compact modeling committee.
Nuo Xu - Device and Process Modeling
Nuo Xu received the B.Sc. degree in Microelectronics from Peking University, China in 2008, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees both in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010, and 2012, separately. His Ph.D. thesis was about Strain-Si Thin-body Transistor Technologies. He has been with Synopsys in 2010 and imec in 2011 for temporary positions. He became a post-doctoral scholar and lecturer in EE of UC Berkeley in 2012, researching on 3D integration of emerging logic and memory devices and design-technology co-optimization (DTCO). He joined Samsung America Headquarters, Device Solutions (AHQ-DS) in 2014, as a senior staff research scientist, working on emerging non-volatile memories (NVM), DTCO and EDA/CAD algorithm development. He joined TSMC North America in 2019, as a R&D manager, focusing on developing leading-edge NVM technologies, compact modeling and EDA/CAD methodologies. He has published over 100 technical papers on peer-reviewed journals and conferences (including 12 IEDM/VLSI papers as the first author); and applied/been granted for over 10 US patents. He is a member of the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Technical Committee on Technology CAD, and served as the sub-committee chair (2020) and members (2018-19) of IEEE IEDM Modeling and Simulation sessions. He was a recipient of IEEE EDS Student Fellowship (2010), TSMC Academia Award for Outstanding Student (2012), and Samsung AHQ-DS President Award (2019).
