The incorporation of group IIIB elements such as scandium (Sc) can transform conventional III-nitride semiconductors to be ferroelectric. This new class of ferroelectric nitride semiconductors can be seamlessly integrated with the well-established III-nitride and Si electronics with promising applications in high power, high frequency, high temperature electronics, as well as memory and logic devices. Moreover, ferroelectric ScAlN exhibits significantly enhanced piezoelectric and nonlinear optical response compared to AlN, which makes it attractive for high frequency resonators and filters and nonlinear optical processes. In this talk I will present recent advances of ferroelectric III-nitride semiconductors, including epitaxial growth, the underlying physics of their unusual structural, optical, electrical, and ferroelectric properties, as well as their emerging device applications.

This talk will give an overview of the ERCOT grid which provides about 90% of electrical power to Texas. The growth of renewable power will be a primary focus, especially since its inherent intermittency impacts grid reliability. Current plans for the expansion of generation capacity will be compared to expected demand growth. Speaker(s): Jim Woodrick, ***CANCELED*** Agenda: 6:00 to 6:05 PM - Open for participants to enter and network. 6:05 to 6:10 PM - IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and speaker introduction. 6:10 to 7:30 PM - Formal Program and Q&A.

Join us for our IEEE Central Texas Section Winter ExCom & SecCom meeting - All IEEE members in Central Texas Section are welcome to attend - Meet friends and make new friends! (Breakfast tacos etc. at 7:30 am) A primary goal is to approve the Central Texas budgets for all Central Texas Chapters and Affinity groups in the Treasurer's Report. To do this we need to meet our 50% ExCom quorum, in person or on Zoom. All CTS Chapters and Affinity Groups chairs are members of ExCom - if the Chair cannot attend, another officer can attend in the Chair's place! Chapters, Affinity Groups, Student Branches and Student Branch Chapter representatives are encouraged to attend and provide updates. Co-sponsored by: Andrew Bluiett Agenda: Tentative Agenda - Final will be emailed by Andrew Bluiett 7:30 am: Doors Open 8:00am: Breakfast Tacos, Round Rock Donuts, Fruit, Coffee, Tea, etc. available 8:45 -- - - Open Virtual meeting 9:00 - -- - Opening Remarks and Introductions 9:15 - - - Officer Reports {Items to be discussed and voted on for approval: 2025 Budgets} A quorum of 50% of the Executive Committee is needed 10:30 - - 15 minute Break 10:45 - - Chapter Reports 11:30 - AffinityGroup Reports 12:30 - - 30 minute Lunch Break 1:00PM - Student Group Reports 2:00PM - If needed, finish Chapter or Group Reports 3:00PM - - Adjourn ....................................................................................................

Abstract: The beauty is in the details, especially in relay and control design, where even the smallest mistake can lead to disastrous results. In this discussion, we’ll look at some real-world incidents that could have been averted through a better-quality control process, underscoring the importance of self-checks, following procedures, and cultivating a strong thought process to achieve high-quality designs and implementations. As advancements in technology and process automation diminish the hands-on involvement of engineers, we’ll also confront the unique challenges awaiting the next generation—challenges of design and the seamless transfer of knowledge.
