MR GABRIEL LIMIndustry Development Manager, A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME)

SUMMIT SPEAKERS

Enabling Mobility through mmWave Technologies

TOPIC & ABSTRACT

Gabriel Lim is currently part of the Industry Development team at A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME). He has over 9 years of experience working in the semiconductor industry. Gabriel’s work focused on a wide range of domains. His areas of expertise included product engineering, wafer fabrication, and the recruitment of talent. On the business front, Gabriel also oversaw numerous deals involving partnerships between the government and private sector companies.

Gabriel is currently the Industry Development Manager for IME, working with MNCs, LLEs and SMEs in various sectors, to leverage IME’s R&D strengths for collaborative outcomes. Gabriel’s current focus areas include semiconductor technologies that support the automotive, communications and power industries. In Gabriel’s previous role at the Economic Development Board (EDB), Gabriel was Area Director for the India office, which charted the strategies of engaging professionals in niche competencies. Prior to assuming the role of Area Director, Gabriel was in charge of the engineering and semiconductor industries for Contact Singapore’s Industry Workforce team.

Earlier in his career, Gabriel joined Chartered Semiconductor as a Product Engineer in 2009, on a Specialist Manpower Programme (SMP) Scholarship. Following Chartered’s acquisition by GlobalFoundries in 2010, Gabriel was posted to GlobalFoundries’ Dresden fab where he was responsible for the yield improvement of 45nm technology node processes. Gabriel holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) degree from the National University of Singapore.

mmWave technology is the driving force and backbone for enabling 5G, IoT, Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Cities, Healthcare monitoring and various satellite communications applications. With the projected strong growth in demand for these applications, there is a strong push for mmWave technologies to be further researched, developed, and deployed for mass adoption.

However, various key challenges and issues still remain and need to be addressed before these technologies can become mainstream. The challenges in current mmWave technologies span from improving the range of the signals, increasing the Field of View, improving power efficiency & thermal management of the integrated circuits, enabling proper handover of communications from one device to another and having good connections for non-linear communication pathways.

Singapore is in a good position to be a centre for development and deployment of various applications riding on mmWave technology. With strong government support, and a vibrant SME/LLE/MNC ecosystem, Singapore is well-positioned to develop new solutions for enabling the above applications.

IME is keen to play a central role in supporting the development and adoption of mmWave technology. We innovate and integrate our proprietary integrated circuit designs together with our partners’ designs, to enable ICs that can be smarter, consume less power, and at the same time, have much smaller form factors. Together with our close partnerships with our sister Research Institutes, we are gearing for a future of mmWave adoption in satellite communications, smart cities, autonomous vehicles and healthcare monitoring.

The key focus areas of our research help support the new wave of applications utilizing mmWave. These include 1) Integration of MMICs / RFICs to Antenna in Package 2) Improving efficiencies of

handovers and 4) Development of phase shifters for directional beam-forming. These are areas we see as integral to solving the component level semiconductor issues facing mmWave technologies.

DR KENNETH E. LEE

Systems (LEES) Interdisciplinary Research Group at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). In LEES, he is responsible for driving the core program effort to create a novel hybrid III-V + CMOS platform to enable new integrated electronic and photonic systems. This includes having oversight of multidisciplinary research in a complete vertical from materials and processes to devices, circuits and systems, so as to enable seamless integration with

Systems and Technology Directorate of the Ministry of Defence, as well as with the Applied Physics Laboratory in DSO National Laboratories, and in Temasek Laboratories at Nanyang Technological University. Dr. Lee received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009, all in Electrical Engineering.

The economic and technical challenges of pushing towards the ultimate physical limits of Moore’s Law are burgeoning. Beyond traditional density scaling, increased dimensionality, in terms of both transistor design and packaging schemes, is being used to obtain further functional and performance improvements. Higher performance advanced materials are also being sought to replace silicon as the active material. Yet these methods of pushing for a technological edge are very costly, and require

new wafer fabs.

A different approach is to start with existing mature processes and infrastructure, and

as much of the existing silicon CMOS supply chain as possible. By combining the right advances in epitaxy, wafer bonding, microfabrication, device design and modeling, we can incorporate compound semiconductor circuit elements into traditional silicon CMOS integrated circuits, thereby augmenting silicon and making silicon new and exciting again.

This provides a pathway to incorporate efficient optical, wireless and RF elements into integrated circuits with a scalable commercial model similar to the existing silicon world. This will enable the creation of space-efficient silicon systems that have illumination and display functions, and next generation wireless communication capabilities, which are well-suited for mobile and automotive applications. As was the
