Juan Sanchez (see his profile in LinkedIn) has just launched TCAD Central, which he intends to be It a wiki were users can collaborate on technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) topics. He also says he has obtained permission to re-publish a historical place (TCAD Central from Michael Duane), which was last updated circa 1999.
You can found all these things plus others, like some nice TCAD jokes (yes, it is actually possible to do jokes about that...) in http://www.tcadcentral.com ...
Thank you very much, Juan!

Exploration of (sub-) 45nm CMOS for Analog, RF and mm-wave Applications (ST-190)
The NANO-RF project is a European funded project in the 6th Frame Program (Priority 2 : Information Society Technology), to explore the potential of (sub-)45nm CMOS for Analog, RF and mm-wave applications. Planar bulk CMOS and FinFET technologies with different gate stacks and strain engineering have been studied. The key results of this project in the field of technology optimization for analog and RF, modeling capability for FinFET transistors and varactors, ESD protection of FinFET circuits and benchmark circuit design in planar bulk and FinFET technology will be presented.
The workshop highlights :
* Fully functional complex analog building blocks in FinFET technology (10 bit 300MS/s DAC, charge pump PLL)
* 5 GHz small band LNAs and DC-5 GHz wideband LNAs in planar bulk and FinFET technology
* 24 GHz LNA, VCO and Mixer for FinFET technology
* PSP-based compact model for FinFETs
* Optimization of the 1/f noise of high-k/metal gate planar bulk and FinFET transistors
* Optimized matching performance for narrow fin FinFET transistors
* ESD protection for FinFET circuits

The 2009 IEEE ICMTS Program
The 2009 IEEE ICMTS will be held at the Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Resort in Oxnard, California. The Conference headquarters hotel will provide guest accommodations as well as meeting facilities for all attendees. The technical program, consisting of ten sessions of contributed papers will be held March 31-April 2. A tutorial short course will be offered on Monday, March 30.

Device Research Conference 2009
The 2009 Device Research Conference (DRC 2009) will take place in the Penn State University, University Park, PA, on June 22-24 2009.
DRC is one of the oldest conferences in the field of electron devices. Every year, DRC brings together top scientists, researchers and graduate students from both the industry and academia. Their latest research results are not only presented, but also frankly discussed. The fact that DRC is always held in one university encourages the exchange of creative ideas.
Student participation in DRC is always strong. Travel support for students is offered. Besides, there is a very prestigeous Best Student Paper Award.
The technical program will include oral and poster presentations as well as three rump sessions.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 9 2009.
A limited number of late news abstracts will be accepted for presentation at DRC'09. The deadline for late news abstracts is June 9 2009.
Topics include all aspects related to electronic and optoelectronic devices, including "modeling and simulation of devices". The Call for Papers indicates with detail the types of devices addressed. Even biological devices are mentioned.
A number of prestigeous researchers will give invited talks.
Finally, there will be an excellent social programme, as can be expected when a conference takes place in a university.

ICOE'09
The 2009 International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE 2009) will be held in Liverpool (England) on June 15-17 2009. The conference will take place at the University of Liverpool.
The ICOE conference was created by means of the European Integrated Project called PolyApply, one of the major projects about organic electronics. It has become one of the main conferences on organic electronics.
ICOE covers all aspects of organic electronics including Materials and Chemistry, OTFTs, OLED, PV devices, device modeling, organic circuits and circuit design, manufacture as well as their inclusion in systems. Therefore, it can be a good conference to present papers about compact models of organic devices, since many organic circuit designers may attend ICOE.
The deadline for a 1-or 2-page abstract submission is March 27 2009.
The Conference Chair is Professor Bill Eccleston, from the University of Liverpool.
If you are working on organic electronics, I truly recommend you to attend this conference. The quality of contributions is very good. It has consolidated as the top European conference on Organic Electronics.
