ESSCIRC ESSDERC 2020 | TPC Meeting goes VIRTUAL


GRENOBLE (FRANCE) - September 14-18, 2020

Dear TPC members,​
The safety and health of all ESSCIRC-ESSDERC TPC and Steering Committee members, and generally of IEEE SSCS and EDS members, volunteers, and attendees of SSCS and EDS events are our first priority. Given the currently sanitary situation related to corona-virus, and after consulting with our Steering Committee and SSCS and EDS direction, the ESSCIRC-ESSDERC 2020 Conference Organizing Committee has decided to organize a virtual paper selection meeting. We want to ensure a high scientific quality of the paper selection process, and we want to make sure each TPC member can provide high quality feedback in the same manner.

Regarding the different meeting:

  • The virtual participation of ALL TPC members is mandatory
  • We are currently working on the organization modalities, and we will inform you soon about the practical organization: phone bridges and screen sharing software will be put in place for each track in order to properly be able to discuss and select the best papers
  • We will try to accommodate a time schedule fitting to most of WW time zones represented in our TPC
  • The final dates of this virtual meeting will be very close to the initially scheduled one, i.e. May 18th 2020 for the TPC meeting, and May 19th for the SC meetings

The paper submission deadline stays the same, April 17th, and we strongly encourage you and your research teams to submit papers. As well, please do advertise among your personal networks the paper submission to our conference.
On a more positive note, ESSCIRC-ESSDERC 2020 paper selection meeting will be the first full virtual SSCS/EDS of such type of meeting. With this new experience, we will learn new ways to better serve our community and also reduce our carbon footprint.
Thank you very much for your understanding, and we count on the support of each and every TPC and SC member to make of ESSCIRC-ESSDERC 2020 a successful conference even in times of crisis!

Kind regards,

Andreia Cathelin, ESSCIRC TPC chair

Tarragona is about 100 Km south from Barcelona, on the coast (the so-called "Costa Daurada", Golden Coast). Traveling to Tarragona from Barcelona is easier. There are frequent direct buses between Tarragona and Barcelona Airport, and also frequent trains between Tarragona and Barcelona. Besides, from some European cities it is possible to fly to Reus Airport, which is about 10 Km from Tarragona.

Tarragona is one of the most important hubs of tourism in Europe, not only because of the nice beaches around the city, but also because of its historical landmarks.. Tarragona was a very important city of the Roman Empire. In 2000 UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tarraco (name of Tarragona during the Roman Empire) a World Heritage Site. This recognition is intended to help ensure the conservation of the monuments, as well as to introduce them to the broader international public.

A. Bazigos, M. Bucher, J. Assenmacher, S. Decker, W. Grabinski and Y. Papananos, "An Adjusted Constant-Current Method to Determine Saturated and Linear Mode Threshold Voltage of MOSFETs," in IEEE TED, vol. 58, no. 11, pp. 3751-3758, Nov. 2011.

Abstract: The constant-current (CC) method uses a current criterion to determine the threshold voltage (VTH) of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors. We show that using the same current criterion in both saturation and linear modes leads to inconsistent results and incorrect interpretation of effects, such as drain-induced barrier lowering in advanced CMOS halo-implanted devices. The generalized adjusted CC method is based on the theory of the charge-based MOS transistor model. It introduces an adjusted current criterion, depending on VDS, allowing to coherently determine VTH for the entire range of V DS from linear operation to saturation. The method uses commonly available ID versus VG data with focus on moderate inversion. The method is validated with respect to the ideal surface potential model, and its suitability is demonstrated with technology-computer-aided-design data from a 65-nm CMOS technology and measured data from a 90-nm CMOS technology. Comparison with other widely used threshold voltage extraction methods is provided.

Abstract:
We live in extremely exciting times, often identified as the age of the fourth industrial revolution. With electrification at every level, we are witnessing the most significant transformation of transportation since the internal combustion engine. Renewable energy is now a reality. IoT with the ever-expanding need for sensors and low power electronics is changing our lives dramatically. Robotics and autonomous vehicles are upon us. Both new and existing applications are demanding physical electronics solutions with new materials, devices and heterogeneous integration to drive these innovations to their full potential.

Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors present a pathway to enable much of these electronics with higher efficiency and newer functionalities. Semiconductor devices with higher power density have unprecedented value in both power and high frequency electronics. Reducing conversion losses is not only critical for minimizing consumption of limited resources, it simultaneously enables new compact and reduced weight solutions, the basis for a new industry offering increased power conversion performance at reduced system cost. Equally importantly, GaN has opened the door to other ultra-wide bandgap materials such as Diamond, Aluminum Nitride and Gallium Oxide.
