A Symposium on

High Frequency Microelectronics

to honor the contributions of George Haddad to
The University of Michigan and the
Microelectronics Research Community

Friday, September 30, 2005
8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Johnson Rooms, LEC

The field of high frequency microelectronics has grown in the last four decades from low GHz to THz frequencies, from milliwatts to tens of watts, and from silicon to a significant fraction of the periodic table. The growth has been driven by a better understanding of the physics of small fast devices, and by the ability to accurately design complex electromagnetic structures with computers. The symposium will discuss advances in microelectronics from the point of view of materials, basic device physics, circuits, modeling and applications.

Colleagues, friends and former students of Prof. George Haddad are invited to the symposium on the occasion of his retirement from The University of Michigan.

There is no charge for the symposium, but for catering purposes, registration is required by September 16. Please contact Deb Swartz to register at 936-2964, or dswartz@umich.edu.
