Abustan and S. Kremson\nAbstract: Capacitive touch sensing technology is widely used for replacing mechanic al switches in consumer products due its reliability\, durability\, cost a nd variety of applications.\nIn this presentation\, will be overview of de signs and technology implementations on a touch screen example.\n\nTOPIC: CMOS Manufacturing Process\nPresenters: A. Al-Nuaimi\, C. McCutcheon\nAbst ract: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor\, is a technology used to co nstruct integrated circuits. CMOS technology is used in a variety of digit al logic circuits such as Microprocessors\, Microcontrollers\, RAM and man y other. It is also used in many analog circuits such as data converters\, transceivers. This presentation will provide an overview of how these tra nsistors are manufactured.\n\nTOPIC: RFID technology and its applications\ nPresenter: D. Bhardwaj\nAbstract: RFID technology has grown in popularity for its wireless automated data capture and its ease of integration in an y market\, making it ideal for many industrial applications. This presenta tion will provide an overview of the past\, current and future RFID techno logy\, its applications\, and security issues.\n\nTOPIC: Analog to Digital Converters\nPresenters: N. Ahmad\, G. Michael\, and J. Shah\nAbstract: An ADC is a device which enables the conversion of an analog signal into a d igital one by sampling the original analog signal (also known as quantisat ion). ADCs can differ vastly between one another in terms of operation and sampling\, and this presentation will discuss the applications of an ADC as well as how they operate.\n\nTOPIC: IC packaging\nPresenters: M. Omer\, and P. Rafalowski\nAbstract: Development of IC packages has become a very dynamic industry. Wide application in almost every field dictates its own demand on electronic packages. To satisfy such diverse specifications ove r 40 different types have been created. This presentation will provide sum mary on design variety\, structure and manufacturing process of this techn ology.\n\nTOPIC: Digital to Analog Converters\nPresenters: P. Sharma\, and B. Skidmore\nAbstract: DACs are most commonly used in audio and video app lications\, to convert a digital data stream into analog signal. This pres entation will have an overview of two of the most common types of DACs: Si gma-Delta DACs and the pulse width modulator\, as well as their characteri stics and basic mechanisms.\n\nTOPIC: Non-planar Multiple-gate field-effec t transistor (MuGFET) – Intel tri-gate (3D) and FinFET\nPresenter: A. Ju ncaj\nAbstract: Non-planar Multiple-Gate Field-Effect Transistor (MuGFET) is the current driver of ever demanding low-power\, high-performance and h igh density processing units for both PC and smartphone industry as well a s sustainer of the Moore’s law. This presentation will have an overview of the history\, application\, challenges and different aspects of the non -planar MuGFET transistor particularly focusing on the Intel tri-gate (3D) and FinFET technology.\n\nTOPIC: RF – Harvesting Energy\nPresenters: F. Barlescu\, and G. Unichi\nAbstract: Radio Frequency (RF) energy transfer and harvesting techniques have recently become alternative methods to powe r the next generation wireless networks. Such technique can be used in man y wireless applications such as charging mobile phones in areas where elec tricity is not available. This presentation will have an overview of the e nergy harvesting methods using RF.\n\nTOPIC: Organic electronics\nPresente rs: I. Antonakis\, and S. Russo\nAbstract: The demand for electronics is c onstantly growing together with the problem of wastage of old products\, a s well as the request for newer technologies\, such as flexible electronic devices. Organic electronics may be the key to our future technology\, as they can be made with cheaper alternative materials that have the potenti al to be more environmentally friendly\, and at the same time provide flex ibility and other characteristics\, which current inorganic materials do n ot have. The presentation will discuss current technologies in Organic Ele ctronics and expand on the use of this technology for future applications that can benefit our world.\n\nTOPIC: GPS\nPresenter: R. Roca\nAbstract: G PS is a global navigation satellite system and this presentation will give an insight on its different applications from its launch\, around 40 year s ago\, to nowadays\, with special attention to its recent implementation into mobile handsets.\n\nRoom: C1.52 Small Lecture Theatre\, Bldg: Cavendi sh\, University of Westminster 115 New Cavendish Street\, London W1W 6UW\, United Kingdom \, London\, England\, United Kingdom\, W1W 6UW LOCATION:Room: C1.52 Small Lecture Theatre\, Bldg: Cavendish\, University o f Westminster 115 New Cavendish Street\, London W1W 6UW\, United Kingdom \ , London\, England\, United Kingdom\, W1W 6UW ORGANIZER:S.Cetinsel@westminster.ac.uk SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:EEEL620 Analog Microelectronics Presentations from IEEE student mem bers URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/44895 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h2 class="entry-title"><a href="http://sites .ieee.org/sb-westminster/2017/03/30/eeel620-analog-microelectronics-presen tations-from-ieee-student-members/" rel="bookmark">EEEL620 Analog Microele ctronics Presentations from IEEE student members</a></h2><br /><br />Agend a: <br /><p>TOPIC: Capacitive touch sensing technology and its application <br /> Presenters: P.
