Wilhelm Jutzi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Wolfgang Jutzi (* 5. May 1933 in Bad Kreuznach ) is a German electrical engineer and emeritus professors .

Life

Wilhelm Jutzi studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt , where he joined the Corps Hassia . He spent a semester at the University of Grenoble and then an intern at the Ateliers de Constructions Electriques de Charleroi. In 1958 he completed his studies as a Dipl.-Ing. in the field of high frequency technology . In 1962 he received his doctorate from the TH Darmstadt as Dr.-Ing. with a work on microwave absorbers at Otto Zinke . In 1961 he moved to the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich and investigated digital magnetic layer memories with non-destructive read-out, miniaturized Schottky gate transistors (MESFET) based on silicon and gallium arsenide , broadband chain amplifiers , digital memories and picosecond circuits with Josephson contacts at cryogenic temperatures .

In 1975 he followed a call to the University of Karlsruhe (TH) as a full professor and head of the newly founded Institute for Electrotechnical Basics of Computer Science (IEGI). From April 1987 he was Vice Dean and from October 1988 to 1990 Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.

Teaching

He gave lectures a. a. “Physical-electrotechnical fundamentals for computer scientists” and “Electronic circuits” for all electrical engineers. As part of a study model of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering "Integrated Circuits" he read about "Circuit technology of microprocessors and microcomputers", "Digital memories", "Properties and manufacture of miniaturized lines of integrated circuits" and "Integrated low-temperature circuits".

research

The research of the IEGI concentrated on the development, technological production and measurement of miniaturized integrated circuits on a chip at low temperatures and very short switching times. Circuits with metallic and also oxide superconductors were investigated. By the year 2000, the IEGI had set up the necessary facilities for the realization of prototypes of novel circuits:

  • Thin film technology including laser ablation and ion implantation, clean room technology, lithography with light and electron microscopes
  • Cryometric technology for temperatures down to about −269 ° C (4K)
  • Simulation tools for analog and digital circuits
  • Measuring devices in the time (10 ps) and frequency range (10 GHz)

The purchases were mainly financed by the federal government (BMFT), the state of Baden-Württemberg, the Volkswagenwerk foundation and the German Research Foundation.

Josephson seminars of the IEGI 1981 and 1983, the PTB Braunschweig 1982 and the University of Gießen 1983 led from 1984 to the annual autumn conference "Cryoelectronic Components", which since then has been organized alternately by state and industrial institutions.

In 1988 Jutzi formulated the “Microtechnology and Superconductivity” program in coordination with the Universities of Karlsruhe, Constance, Tübingen and Stuttgart. This resulted in the “special program for basic research at Baden-Württemberg universities in the field of high-temperature superconductivity”, which was financed by the state from 1989 to 1994. Jutzi was the spokesman for this program at the University of Karlsruhe. He was also one of the founders of the “Society for Applied Superconductivity” based in Karlsruhe, which was financially supported by the state of Baden-Württemberg until 1997.

From 1988 to 1995 he was a member of the scientific advisory board at the Institute for Layer and Ion Technology at Forschungszentrum Jülich, which dealt with the application of superconductivity.

Jutzi is a member of the Association of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology (NTG Prize 1963), the German Physical Society and the IEEE (Life Fellow).

After his retirement in 2002, the IEGI moved all of its equipment to another building and was named "Micro- and Nanoelectronic Systems" (IMS) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
