Obituary

April 25, 2019

Dr. Xuejun Zhao, age 49, passed away peacefully at Capital Caring Halquist Center in Arlington, VA, on April 21, 2019, surrounded by family and friends. He was born to Chinese parents, Xingrong Zhao and Wenying Cao in Henan Province, China on June 8, 1969. In 1987, he ranked second in the college entrance exam in Wuhan and was admitted to Tsinghua University majoring in electronic engineering and earned his bachelor’s degree in 1992. 

He was married to Haiyan Shi on June 30, 1994 and their daughter, Christine Zhao was born on May 19, 2000. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from George Mason University in 2000. He worked as a senior engineer and later promoted to member of technical staff in AMD in San Jose, California during 2000-2005. From 2007 to 2011, he worked as a patent agent in Winston & Strawn, electronics engineer in Carnegie Institution of Washington and TMI-USA, and technical advisor in Greenblum & Bernstein. Since February 2011, he worked as a patent examiner at the United States Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) in the field of Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering. He was very active in the Chinese community of George Mason University and the USPTO and he received “President of the Year” award in 1998 for his outstanding service as president of the Chinese Student and Scholar Association in George Mason University. 

He is the deeply loved husband of Haiyan Shi; loving father of Christine Zhao. He is survived by his wife and daughter, his parents and his younger brother, Xuemin Zhao.

Biography
Xuejun Zhao (S'98-M'01) received the B.S.E.E. degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1992, and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the George Mason University (GMU), Fairfax, VA, in 1997 and 2000, respectively. From 1992 to 1994, he was with the National Key Laboratory of Microwave and Digital Communications, Tsinghua University, Beijing, where he designed high-speed communication circuits. In 1995, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, GMU, as a graduate student, where he conducted research on the analysis and characterization of SOI MOSFET's and their hot carrier reliability. In June 2000, he joined Advanced Micro Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, as a member of the Technology Development Group. His research interests continue to be on the performance and reliability of high-speed SOI MOSFET devices and circuits. (Based on document published on 7 August 2002).

"Gated-diode" in SOI MOSFETs: a sensitive tool for characterizing the buried Si/SiO/sub 2/ interface

Dept. of Electr. & Comput. Eng., George Mason Univ., Fairfax, VA, USA

Abstract:

A "gated diode" technique is described for the measurement of the interface state density of the silicon film/buried oxide interface of SOI MOSFETs. This approach becomes possible by taking advantage of the front gate, which is biased to inversion (NMOSFET) or accumulation (BC-PMOSFET) during the measurement, while scanning the back interface through depletion. Using this technique the estimated value of the buried interface state density of typical low dose SIMOX MOSFETs was slightly over 10/sup 11//cm/sup 2/.
