A record low motional resistance of 35 \u03a9 was measured in air for a high-Q 100MHz silicon resonator, at least 10 times smaller compared to its capacitive counterparts. The novel lateral transduction scheme introduced in this work significantly improves electromechanical coupling due to the large longitudinal piezoelectric stress coefficient of AlN, as well as a larger effective transduction area, which is scalable with structure thickness.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis technique brings closer the realization of fully-integrated wide-band spectral processing units in silicon at very low power for cognitive radio applications, which were previously not possible due to the low efficiency of traditional transduction mechanisms.

However, by nature, wireless signals are broadcasted over the air, which makes eavesdropping particularly easy, even with off-the-shelf devices. In this paper, the authors propose to secure wireless communications by harnessing the imperfections of the wireless physical-layer, such as the gain fluctuations induced by changes in the environment, and they developed and analyzed algorithms to extract unbreakable secret keys between two wireless terminals. This research could be used to add a layer of security to many existing systems, such as WiFi networks, wireless sensor networks, or near-field-communication protocols.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE faculty members Matthieu Bloch and Steven McLaughlin win the IEEE Communications Society \u0026amp; Information Theory Society Joint Paper Award.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE faculty members Matthieu Bloch and Steven McLaughlin win the IEEE Communications Society \u0026 Information Theory Society Joint Paper Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2011-05-16 11:01:40","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:45","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-05-16T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2011-05-16T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"66201":{"id":"66201","type":"image","title":"Steven McLaughlin, Matthieu Bloch, Demijan Klinc","body":null,"created":"1449176931","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:08:51","changed":"1475894587","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:07","alt":"Steven McLaughlin, Matthieu Bloch, Demijan Klinc","file":{"fid":"192496","name":"steve_and_matthieu.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/steve_and_matthieu_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/steve_and_matthieu_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1748717,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/steve_and_matthieu_0.jpg?itok=-PDRm6Sq"}}},"media_ids":["66201"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=162","title":"Matthieu Bloch"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=68","title":"Steven W.

Dr. Lee \nand his team proposed a novel, wear-leveling technique called security \nrefresh, which randomly shuffles the physical location of each memory \nblock to slow down wear-out caused by frequent writes to the same \nlocations. The scheme evens out the write distribution in the PCM space \nand obfuscates address access patterns to prevent worst-case writes or \nmalicious exploits. Security refresh can effectively extend PCM\u0027s \nlifetime to approach its theoretical limit, enabling its practical use \nas an integral part of the system memory for future computing systems. \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Georgia Tech Named to This List for the First TIme"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA paper written by Hsien-Hsin Sean Lee and his research team is the first ever from Georgia Tech to be chosen for\u003Cem\u003E IEEE Micro\u003C\/em\u003E\n magazine\u0027s \u0022Top Picks\u0022 issue.

The inherent electrical properties of glass, together with large area panel size availability, make it a superior material compared to organic and silicon-based interposers. However, glass is not without its challenges. It suffers in two ways: 1) formation of vias at low cost, and 2) its lower thermal conductivity compared to silicon. This research explores glass as an interposer material, and addresses these key challenges in through package via (TPV) formation and subsequent low cost and large area metallization to achieve very high I\/Os at fine pitch. The purpose of this research is to develop and demonstrate a novel glass package technology, which will be applicable in future microelectronic systems.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student Vijay Sukumaran and his Ph.D. advisor Rao Tummala won the Intel Best Student Paper Award for \u0022Through-Package-Via Formation and Metallization of Glass Interposers\u0022 at the 60th IEEE Electronic Components and Technology Conference, which was held in Las Vegas last June.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Vijay Sukumaran and Rao Tummala take Intel Best Student Paper Honors."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2011-01-17 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:15","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-01-17T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2011-01-17T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"64557":{"id":"64557","type":"image","title":"Vijay Sukumaran","body":null,"created":"1449176753","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:05:53","changed":"1475894567","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:47","alt":"Vijay Sukumaran","file":{"fid":"192019","name":"tgy96229.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tgy96229_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tgy96229_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":24541,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tgy96229_0.jpg?itok=zGJFAO5O"}}},"media_ids":["64557"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.prc.gatech.edu\/","title":"Microsystems Packaging Research Center"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"12072","name":"3D Systems Packaging Research Center"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Jackie Nemeth\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"64558":{"#nid":"64558","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Four ECE Ph.D. Students Win First Prize Awards at SAIC Competition","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFour ECE Ph.D. students won three first place awards at the 21st annual SAIC Georgia Tech Student Paper Competition, held on November 18 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.
