| Title | Wideband Distributed Amplifier for High-speed Communication |
| Summary | Recent breakthrough in Generative AI spurs the exponentially increase of demand for computation resources. The servers in a data centre are interconnected for data exchange to form a large-scale cluster for various computation tasks. The data transmission rate is now approaching the physical limit of conventional interconnect such as copper coaxial cable. Silicon-photonic (SiPh) integrated circuit is widely recognized as a promising solution to break the speed barrier by transmitting data via optical channel. In this project, wideband distributed amplifier will be studied as the interface between electronics circuit and SiPh modulator. The student will first study the architecture of state-of-the-art distributed amplifier structures. Student will be guided to design a distributed amplifier with 50-GHz bandwidth in Cadence environment to perform circuit simulation and optimization. If time allows, student can also perform chip layout and post-layout simulations. |
