Compact Modeling Job Vacancy at TU Ilmenau, Germany

The RF & Nano Device group at TU Ilmenau is seeking a candidate for a position in the frame of a European Marie Curie Project.
The candidate will work on compact modeling of high-frequency transistors, in particular HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistor). During several months he or she will also work at a semiconductor foundry in the UK in the frame of a secondment agreement between the foundry and TU Ilmenau.
Contract details: Temporary contract to carry out a Ph D, starting date January 2010.
Application deadline: 31 October 2009.
Contact: PD Dr. Frank Schwierz, email: frank.schwierz@tu-ilmenau.de
Requirements: Candidates should be a Ph.D. student having already earned a Master or Dipl.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering, preferably in semiconductor electronics. Good skills in written and spoken English are mandatory.
Desirable is experience in the areas of semiconductor device physics and device modeling and simulation.

Second International Workshop on Compact Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) Modeling for Circuit Simulation: Deadline extended

The Second International Workshop on Compact Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) Modeling for Circuit Simulation will be held at the University College London (UCL) in London (UK) on September 25 2009.

This workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussions and current practices on compact TFT modeling. The workshop is sponsored by IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee in collaboration with IEEE UCL-Cambridge University EDS/LEOS Chapter joint chapter that is in the process of formation. Topics include include:

• Physics of TFTs and operating principles
• Compact TFT device models for circuit simulation
• Model implementation and circuit analysis techniques
• Model parameter extraction techniques
• Applications of compact TFT models in emerging products
• Compact models for interconnects in active matrix flat panels

Prospective authors should submit a 500-word abstract to: m.bauza@ucl.ac.uk

THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS AUGUST 18 2009.

HOWEVER, ABSTRACTS WILL BE CONSIDER EVEN AFTER THE OFFICIAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE.



If their abstract is accepted, the authors will be invited to submit of a 4-page paper to be included in proceedings. The deadline is September 14, 2009.

This is the only workshop especifically devoted to the compact modeling of TFT!
