present ”PSoC Mixed Signal Development”, by Chris Mesibov.
About the Talk
CNNNJ is pleased to
present a technical presentation about Cypress PSoC (Programmable System on
Chip) mixed signal IC development. Since
its introduction, the Cypress PSoC has made dramatic inroads into embedded
systems as a versatile mixed signal microcontroller. The PSoC contains microcontroller, digital
and analog functions that provide an embedded engineer a vast set of solution
all within a single IC. The discussion
will describe what functions can be provided, how they are implemented, why
engineers are choosing the PSoC over other micro controllers, and how the PSoC
is used. Application examples are
examined and demonstrations of the software tools are given that provide
insight into the powerful features and development environment available to the
PSoC developer.

NJ Consultants' Network:
Building the Foundation
For a Successful Consultant Marketing Plan
On Thursday,
February 22, 2007, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is pleased to
present ”Building the Foundation For a Successful Consultant Marketing Plan”,
by Greg Ratta.
About the Talk
CNNNJ is pleased to
offer a non-technical presentation about building a solid foundation for a
consultant’s marketing plan. Consultants
work in a highly competitive and fast moving market where success depends on
the consultant’s ability to build an effective marketing and delivery program
around his or her particular expertise.
Without self-analysis of what value one brings to the market, there is
no foundation for that program. Does
your CV put your mother to sleep? Does
it include generic phrases like, “self-starter” or “works effectively alone or
in teams”? Are you a telecom engineer
listening for the footsteps echoing outside your office that will free you to
strike out on your own? Are you
unemployed and seeking a full time position?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this presentation has
been designed for you!.

NJ EDS/C&S Chapters:
Deuterium at the
Si-Dielectric Interface in Nanoscale Devices
On
February 21, 2007, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters
together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on
“Deuterium at the Si-Dielectric Interface in Nanoscale Devices." The speaker will be Dr. Durgamadhab (Durga)
Misra.
About the Talk
After
the discovery of the hydrogen/ deuterium (H/D) isotope effect, passivation of
interfaces such as Si-SiO2 and Si-high-k by deuterium instead of hydrogen is
getting significant attention for scaled CMOS devices. Deuterium passivation brings significant improvement
in hot-carrier lifetime in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors. Annealing in deuterium ambient or deuterium
implantation is used to incorporate deuterium at the Si/SiO2 interface. Various methods of deuterium incorporation
(recipes) at the interface for several device applications (CMOS, photodiodes,
TFTs) will be discussed. Some device
characteristics improvement after deuterium implantation at the Si/SiO2
interface when a thin oxide is grown on implanted silicon substrate will also be
addressed. In case of annealing thermal
budget is a limiting factor whereas for implantation, energy and implantation
dose significantly influence the interface passivation. The challenges to retain deuterium at the
Si/SiO2 interface until the completion of CMOS fabrication process will be analyzed.
About the
Speaker
Dr. Durgamadhab (Durga)
Misra is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
He served as the Director of Microelectronics Research Center at NJIT
for a year in 1996 and in 1997 he was on a research leave at the VLSI Research
Department of Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies at Murray Hill, New
Jersey. His general interests lie in the
areas of nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices and circuits. His current focus is gate dielectric (both

Life Grades Luncheon
The fifth Annual Life
Grades Luncheon sponsored jointly by the Power Engineering Society Chapter and
the Section was held on November 2nd, 2006 at the Hamilton Park Conference Center,
Florham Park, NJ. Carl Sulzberger, Life
Member, talked about the IEEE History Center and it’s many activities including
the Oral History and Milestone Award program.
The IEEE established the
Milestone program in 1983 to honor and recognize significant achievements in
the history of electrical and electronics engineering. The program was later expanded to include
significant achievements in computing.
Today there are about 75 milestones with 15 in Region 1. The North Jersey Section currently has two: first establishment of two-way police radio
communication in Bayonne, NJ, in 1933, and the demonstration of practical
telegraphy in Morristown, NJ, in 1838.
Recently, Carl wrote an
application for an IEEE Milestone plaque for the Edison West Orange Laboratory
site. It was subsequently approved by
the North Jersey Section and the IEEE Milestone Committee. It then needed the approval of the milestone
site owner, the National park Service.
However, the National Park Service cannot accept a plaque for installation
anywhere on the site. The Section is
still trying to find a suitable place within the West Orange Municipal
facilities to mount a milestone plaque to recognize Edison’s many achievements
at his West Orange Laboratory.
Carl is also a member of
the IEEE Power and Energy magazine Editorial Board and frequently writes
history articles for the bi-monthly publication. He provided copies of the IEEE Power &
Energy Magazine May/June 2006 issue in which he authored the history article on
Mazda technology and the trademark used by GE from 1909 into the 1940’s to
promote it’s tungsten filament and lamp base products.
