Amirouche Oumaziz receives a Best Paper Award at ESREF 2021

Amirouche Oumaziz, PhD student within the Power Management System Integration – ISGE team at LAAS-CNRS and the CS group (Static Converters) at LAPLACE, has received the Best Paper Award at the 32^nd European Symposium on Reliability of Electron Devices, Failure Physics and Analysis - ESREF 2021. The conference was held between October, 4^th to 7^th 2021 in full virtual mode.

Amirouche was awarded for his paper « Fast cut-off, low I2T and high temperature monolithic on-chip fuse on silicon substrate for new fail-safe embedded power switch » in which new fuses on a silicon substrate were proposed and realized. The devices are intended for the protection of fail-safe switching cells in power converters, in order to allow the power converter reconfiguration.

The work is carried between ISGE team at LAAS-CNRS, CS group at LAPLACE and the platforms of these labs, in collaboration with 3DiS Technologies company, founded at LAAS-CNRS. The PhD thesis is supervised by Frédéric Richardeau (CS/Laplace), Abdelhakim Bourennane (ISGE/Laas) and Emmanuel Sarraute (CS/Laplace).

His paper was also been selected by the ESREF 2021 committee to present his work as invited speaker at the 39^th International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA) which will take place in July 2022 at Singapore.
