Home Page Layout of op-amp fabricated in SOI technology. Because such work requires a detailed understanding of the behaviour of individual transistors, research covers not only circuit design and evaluation, but also device modelling and characterisation for circuit simulation. This unusually broad view of the interaction between design and technology has led to novel circuits, as well as to advances in the understanding of device behaviour in analogue applications. The group has very strong industrial links, particularly in mainstream circuit design and technology with Philips Semiconductors , and many research projects are run in close collaboration. There are also strong links with other groups around the world in SOI research.
All projects are strongly industrially related, and some involve placement within company labs.
