F2D-EPL's second MPW run

 

 

Apply today to participate in the 2D-EPL's second multi-project wafer run

The 2D-EPL project's second multi-project wafer (MPW) run will close 31 October 2022. This run, offered by VTT, provides universities, research institutes and companies an opportunity to include their designs as dies on joint wafers for graphene sensors.

The offered baseline process for this MPW run is a GFET including a top/bottom contact with an optional local or global back gate, an optional encapsulation and an optional graphene-area opening. The design of the device can be adjusted within the specifications listed here.

Ph D scholarship about semiconductor device modeling in Tarragona (Spain)

 We want to get one scholarship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona , Spain. The subject of the Ph D would be o the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of nanoscale semiconductor devices, in particular two-dimensional semiconductor devices, (which are one of the most promising device structures for downscaling to 1nm), in particular transistors or memristors. It will be related to funding research projects in which the hosting group participates.


The duration of the grant will be 3 years.

The candidate should have a  Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics, obtained between January 1 2020 and October  2022. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

Applicants must send to my e-mail address (benjamin.iniguez@urv.cat), and by November 9 2022, a CV together witha copy of the academic certificates indicating the grades obtained for all subjects during their studies (both Bachelor Degree and Master Degree).

Tarragona is a medium city (100000 inhabitants) with a pleasant Mediterranean climate and many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, nature preserves, mountain hiking, touristic resorts and facilities). It is located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona, and it is very well connected by train, bus, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.

My research group in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) is one of the strongest groups in compact modeling in Europe. We have led or are leading several national and European projects targeting semiconductor device characterization, physics and modeling.

[online] Consultation workshop "Chips for Europe" Initiative

Consultation workshop "Chips for Europe" Initiative
Shaping Europe's digital future

As part of the ongoing consultation on the upcoming implementation of the "Chips for Europe" Initiative, as foreseen within Pillar 1 of the proposed Chips Act, we are organising a virtual workshop on Thursday 29th September 2022. Here we will be presenting the Commission's ideas on future pilot lines and a design platform, key components of the Commission's strategy to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem in Europe and accelerate the process from the lab to the fab. 

The workshop will be split into two parts:
10:00 – 12:30 CET: design platform and its implementation
14:00 – 16:30 CET: pilot lines and their implementation
The agenda will include an opportunity for an exchange of views with stakeholders.

Those interested in joining are invited to register.
