Short summary of activities and expertiseDr Poorvasha S, Lead Application Engineer at Cognitive Design Technology Pvt Ltd, India, in collaboration with Silvaco Inc, designs, analyses, and optimises the characteristics of various semiconductor devices using the Technological Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) tool to achieve best-in-class device performances. Hold a PhD in Electronics Engineering from the Vellore Institute of Technology, India. PhD thesis, titled "Investigation of homo and heterojunction based double gate tunnel field-effect transistors for RF performance enhancement," was about developing a novel double gate (DG) tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) in the nanoscale regime by device simulation using the TCAD tool to analyse and perform sensitivity analysis on various structural and doping parameters of the devices qualitatively, as well as investigating heterojunction-based TFETs to obtain the most important RF figure of merits (FOM). Research interest: Semiconductor devices have gained prominence in the IT market, allowing devices to become faster, more powerful, and less expensive. Furthermore, the rapidly expanding wireless market necessitates critical space in the semiconductor industry, which can be supported by RF and analog mixed-signal technologies. To incorporate the devices at the circuit level, a thorough understanding of their analog and RF behaviour is required, as well as an analysis of their behaviour at various dimensions to allow for eventual scaling. Would like to continue research on wideband gap-based devices for various RF parameters in order to pave the way for an exciting new frontier of low power switching that can operate at high frequencies.
