Nanolab IIT Kanpur

Nanolab at IIT Kanpur is a research laboratory with a key focus on modeling and characterization of materials, devices, and circuits. A strong compute and storage infrastructure for atomistic simulations paves the way for first principle studies of materials. Research topics include materials like VO2, V2O5, black phosphorus, TMDs like MoS2, phosphorene, borophene among many others. Nanolab has established a strong collaboration with the industry in terms of model development. We're working closely with UC Berkeley to maintain and develop the BSIM standard models. Out ASM-HEMT model for GaN-HEMTs was recently recognized as an industry standard by the Compact Model Coalition (CMC). The lab hosts state-of-the-art equipment for DC and RF characterization of packaged and on-wafer devices. High power measurement capabilities coupled with pulsed IV/RF and load pull systems (under procurement) allow for characterizations of higher level circuits like power amplifiers. We have the hardware and software capabilities to design and implement prototypes for RF circuits like Power Amplifiers and Low Noise Amplifiers.
