2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling

Building on the success of its first edition in 2012, the 2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling (TCCM) will be held in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) on June 28-29 2012. It will be organized by will be organized by the NEPHOS Group, of the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona).. The General Chairman is Prof. Benjamin Iñiguez.

The Training Course on Compact Modeling will consist of 12 of lectures addressing relevant topics in the compact modeling of advanced electron devices. These lectures will be conducted by top experts in the field. Most of the lectures will target compact modeling issues applicable to many electron devices. In particular, emphasis will be given on MOSFETs (bulk, SOI, Multi-Gate and High Voltage MOS structures) and HEMTs.

The Training Course on Compact Modeling is an event sponsored by the FP7 “COMON” (COmpact MOdelling Network) IAPP Project (which is coordinated by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) in collaboration with the IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee.

The final programme will be published very soon. Registration will be cheap. It will include lunches, coffe breaks and a Gala Dinner on June 28, in a nice restaurant with TV screens to watch the Semifinals match of the Soccer European Cup ...

Besides, on June 25-27 the same group at URV will organize 8th International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE 2012) also in Tarragona. Participants to this Training Course will have a reduced fee for ICOE 2012.


Tarragona is located in the south of Catalonia, in the northeast corner of the Iberian Peninsula. Tarraco (its Roman name) was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire.
On 30 November 2000, the UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tàrraco a World Heritage Site.

Tarragona can be easily reached from Barcelona Airport by bus and train. It is about 100 Km South from Barcelona. Besides, Reus Airport (less than 15 Km from Tarragona) receives flights from many European cities in the summer.

Speaking about Tarraco's climate, the famous Roman poet Virgil wrote: "The climate blends and confuses the seasons singularly, so that all the year seems an eternal spring." Thanks to its temperate climate, with an average yearly temperature of 23ºC, its clean beaches with fine and gloden sand, and its singular artistic and architectural heritage, Tarragona is one of the most important tourism hubs in Europe.

I strongly encourage all people interested in compact modeling to attend the 2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling!

8th International Conference on Organic Electronics

The 8th International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE 2012) will be held in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) on June 25-27 2012. ICOE'12 will be organized by the NEPHOS Group, of the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona). Prof. Benjamin Iñiguez will be the General Chairman of ICOE 2012.

The conference covers all aspects of organic electronics, including materials and chemistry, transistors (OTFTs), OLEDs, photovoltaic cells, circuits and circuit design, manufacturing and inclusion in systems.

"Modeling" is one of the topics, and of course, it includes Compact Modeling.

DEADLINE FOR A 2-PAGE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: MARCH 1 2012.

The venue is the "Aula Magna" in one of the campuses of University Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Tarragona.

A Gala Dinner will take place in the evening of June 26. I recommend atttendees to go; there will be no match of the Soccer European Cup on that date, so you will have something to enjoy...

Besides, on June 28-29 (just after ICOE 2012), the 2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling will be held also in Tarragona, organized by the same group at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili. ICOE participants will have a reduced fee for that Training Course, which will target many topics related to compact device modeling.

I encourage researchers working on Organic Electronics, including modeling to submit abstracts to ICOE'12.

IM3OLED project to develop multi-scale OLED modelling tool

The EU-funded IM3OLED (Integrated Multidisciplinary & Multiscale Modeling for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) project has officially been launched.

IM3OLED aims to help the OLED industry speed up development by creating new modelling software that allows a more systematic R&D process. This software toolset will predictively model OLEDs in 3D and at all length scales – from molecular to large-area devices. It will include molecular calculations, electrical and optical simulation, 1D-3D light extraction and scaling / integration effects.
An important aspect of software will be the inclusion of dynamic feedback loops, enabling developers to accurately predict how changes in one area of OLED development affect other areas. This will allow multiple OLED properties to be optimised simultaneously.
The overall device efficiency of an OLED depends on many factors:

• the properties of the light emitting molecules
• deposition on to the substrate
• integration into a device
• extracting the light from the active layer and the device
• heat management and more

It is further complicated as many of these factors are interlinked – e.g. how the device heats up in operation may affect the molecules’ ability to generate light and the way light travels through the device.
This makes it extremely difficult to predict how innovations in one area will affect performance in others, leading to a trial-and-error approach in R&D.

Stephan Harkema, project coordinator, said, “IM3OLED will develop, evaluate and validate a predictive multi-scale and multi-disciplinary modeling tool. Making such a tool available will accelerate progress of OLEDs for lighting applications and allow the European OLED industry to strengthen its leading position in this environmentally important, global market.”
IM3OLED brings together industrial and academic partners from across Europe and the Russian Federation and is coordinated by TNO/Holst Centre and by National Research Nuclear University MEPhI.
Industrial partners include OLED manufacturer Philips Electronics and specialist in simulation software SMEs Fluxim of Switzerland and Kintech of Russia.
Academic partners include leading computational physics and atomic / molecular modelling groups from the Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW) and Russian Academy of Sciences’ Photochemistry Center (PCC RAS).
Funded through the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7NMP Grant no 295368), the EU portion of the IM3OLED project will run for 30 months until late 2013.
