Play a game
Applied Materials has launched a small game about how to made a 65nm transistor... It's quite interesting, and let's you know quite a lot about the fabrication process.... Have a look here, and see if you can get 100/100 score!

MIEL'08
The 26th International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL 2008) will be held in Nis (Serbia) on May 11-14 2008.
MIEL is one of the most prestigeous Microelectronics conferences in Europe. Topics ofthe conference include all subjects related to electronic devices and electronic circuits.
This year a number of top researchers in electron devices will give invited presentations.
Prof Jamal Deen will present an invited contribution entitled "Towards Low-cost, High-Sensitivity, Integrated Biosensors".
Prof. Mark Lundstrom will give a very interesting invited talk, entitled: "Electronics from the Bottom Up: An Approach to 21st Century Electronic Devices"
And one invited presentation about compact modeling: Dr Slobodan Mijalkovic, another invited speaker, will make a presentation on compact modeling of organic transistors: "Modelling of Organic Field-Effect Transistors for Technology and Circuit Design"
Prof E.Sangiorgi will talk about "Silicon Based Nano-MOSFET: New Materials, New Device Architectures, and New Challenges for Device Simulation".
Prof.Mikael Östling will present new results about Schottky-Barrier MOSFETs: "Towards a Nano-MOSFET with Schottky Barrier Drain/Source"
And there is a very challenging invited presentation from Prof Radivoje Popovic: "Counting Single Electrons in CMOS Circuit"
There are many other invited presentations!
By the way, the social programme of MIEL is superb! Every evening there is a copious dinner, based on traditional and delicious Serbian cuisine. Besides, there is lot of slivovitz, fun and dancing in the gala dinner!

2008 IEEE International SOI Conference
The 2008 IEEE International SOI Conference will be held 6 – 9 October, 2008 at the Mohonk Mountain House in the beautiful Hudson River Valley in upstate New York.
There will be a Short Course on October 6 2008.
The deadline for abstract submission is May 2 2008. Late papers with exceptional merit will be considered for the Late News Session if submitted on or before 25 August, 2008.
There is a Best Paper Award and also a Best Poster Award.
I remember that some papers on compact modeling won one of those awards, so it is a good topic for this conference.
The place of the Conference is very attractive. It is located atop of the Shawangunk Mountains. There is a very good offer of outdoor opportunities: hiking, lake swimming, boating, ...
The IEEE International SOI Conference is the main conference devoted to current trends in Silicon-on-Insulator technology. It provides an excellent forum for open discussion in all areas of SOI technologies and their applications.
The Areas of Focus of the IEEE International SOI Conference includes all topics related to SOI technologies, including "SOI device physics and modelingThere will be a Short Course on October 6 2008.

ESSDERC'08
ESSDERC 2008 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland from 15-19 September 2008, together with ESSCIRC 2008 (European Solid-State Circuits Conference) . The venue will be the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC).
ESSDERC (European Solid-State Device Research Conference) is the top European conference in semiconductor devices. Due to its prestige, many researchers from outside Europe use to submit contributions to ESSDERC too.
The main themes for original contributions to be submitted to ESSDERC 2008 are:
-Advanced Devices
-Process Integration
-Telecommunication & Power Devices
-Modeling and Simulation
-Charactrization and Reliability
-Memory, SoC & SiP
-Emerging Technologies, Sensors & Actuators
-Sensors and Imagers
-Integration of IC designs with other technologies and materials
-Yield and Reliability related technology developments
-Design for Manufacturabiliti
This year Compact Modeling is explicitly mentioned as one of the topics in the "Modeling and Simulation" theme.
The deadline for abstract submission is April 5 2008.
Besides, several related workshops will take place on September 19 2008 at the same location.
One of them will be the Autumn MOS-AK Meeting on Compact Modeling. Another workshop will be the so-called SINANO workshop, this time organized by the recently created SINANO Institute.
Ths social programme may be interesting this year. The Conference Dinner will be held at Murrayfield Stadium, the home of Scottish Rugby! And they say that the menu will be typically Scottish "preceded by a drinks reception". For sure, we expect a lot of high quality whisky during the Conference Dinner!

DCIS'08
In 2008 DCIS (Conference on Design of Circuits and Integrated Systems) will take place in Grenoble, in France, on November 12-14 2008. It will be organized by the TIMA Laboratory.
DCIS was originally the top Spanish Conference on Circuit Design. However, more than 10 years ago it became an international conference. Although often held in Spain it has also been organized in other countries not far from Spain, such as Portugal or France.
The Call for Papers mentions all topics related to Integrated Circuit and Systems Design. As usual, modeling is included among the topics.
The submission deadline is April 4 2008.
Grenoble and its vicinity is a very nice place for sightseeing, offering many opportunities for outdoor: mountain trails to hike, historic buildings to see, old streets to walk along, and even skiing in the highest mountains in November.
