Christian Enz is an Emeritus Professor from EPFL. He is one of the main developer of the EKV MOS transistor model that is used for the design of low-power and lo-voltage CMOS integrated circuits.
Short Bio
Christian Enz, PhD, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), 1989. He is currently an Emeritus Professor from EPFL. Before he was Full Professor heading the IC Lab at EPFL. Until 2021 he was Director of the Institute of Microengineering and of the EPFL campus in Neuchâtel. Until April 2013 he was VP at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) in Neuchâtel, Switzerland where he was heading the Integrated and Wireless Systems Division. Prior to joining CSEM, he was Principal Senior Engineer at Conexant (formerly Rockwell Semiconductor Systems), Newport Beach, CA, where he was responsible for the modeling and characterization of MOS transistors for RF applications. His technical interests and expertise are in the field of ultralow-power analog and RF IC design, wireless sensor networks and semiconductor device modeling. Together with E. Vittoz and F. Krummenacher he is the developer of the EKV MOS transistor model and the author of the book “Charge-Based MOS Transistor Modeling - The EKV Model for Low-Power and RF IC Design” (Wiley, 2006). He is the author and co-author of more than 300 scientific papers and has contributed to numerous conference presentations and advanced engineering courses.
