AE’s longstanding relationship with CSU expands through
sponsored research in advanced control techniques for semiconductor
process power applications
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global
leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion,
measurement and control solutions – today announced it has
partnered with Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins to
investigate the application of advanced control techniques to
emerging process power applications in a one-year program sponsored
by AE.
The outcome of this project could enable the manufacture of
higher performance semiconductors while having broad impact on
application flexibility of existing process power
architectures.
“This sponsored research program is an extension of our
relationship with CSU, where AE has been represented for years on
the advisory board of CSU’s Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department,” said Dr. Isabel Yang, chief technology officer,
Advanced Energy. “We are honored to partner with CSU, which is
renowned for its nationally-sponsored research by private industry
and public organizations, on this important research for emerging
process power, which we hope will have a positive impact on
semiconductor performance and manufacturing in the future.”
Principal investigators for the research program are: Chad
Samuels, PhD, Engineer III, at AE; Don van Zyl, Distinguished
Member of Technical Staff at AE; and Dr. Peter M. Young, professor
within the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at
CSU. Dr. Young is an internationally recognized leader in dynamic
systems and controls research and education, with numerous
citations of published work. He also serves as director of the
Dynamic Systems and Controls Research Laboratory and the Systems
and Controls Teaching Laboratory at CSU.
“Controlling the delivery of power to plasma is at the heart of
semiconductor manufacturing. But as chips get smaller and more
powerful, that process becomes more challenging and places
stringent performance requirements on the power supply,” said
Professor Young. “We are excited to partner with Advanced Energy to
develop enhanced control algorithms that can deliver increased
performance and reliability in next-generation power supplies.”
CSU’s ECE Department has been a leader in innovation for more
than a century. Most recently, the department was awarded a $2
million grant from the National Science Foundation to lead the U.S.
in revolutionizing engineering and computer science education.
Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colo., AE is a global leader
engineering the world’s most advanced power supplies and solutions
for semiconductor and industrial manufacturers. AE combines diverse
precision power and control technologies with technical expertise
and support to ignite innovation around the world.
