[mos-ak] [Final Program] 7th International MOS-AK Workshop; December 12, 2014 at Berkeley

 7th International MOS-AK Workshop

 Berkeley Friday, Dec. 12, 2014 

 Final Program  

 

 Together with the MOS-AK Workshop Scientific Program Coordinators Larry Nagel and Andrei Vladimirescu as well as Extended MOS-AK TPC Committee, we have pleasure to invite to the 7th consecutive International MOS-AK Workshop which will be held at Berkeley, California, USA. The event is organized with aims to strengthen a network and discussion forum among experts in the field, enhance open platform for information exchange related to compact/Spice modeling and Verilog-A standardization, bring people in the compact modeling field together, as well as obtain feedback from technology developers, circuit designers, and CAD/EDA tool vendors. 

Venue:

Room 540 in Cory Hall

EECS Department

University of California, Berkeley

Yannis Tsividis' Early Contributions to MOS Filters

In the 1970s, when the bipolar transistor was the undisputed king of analog integrated circuits (ICs), most electrical engineers regarded the MOS transistor as a second-rate device for ICs: it was a good switch, but a mediocre amplifier. As a graduate student at UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Paul Gray, Yannis Tsividis had a very different vision. He saw the MOS transistor as the future star for mixed-signal ICs and was excited to prove to the world he was right. The opening gambit was his thesis work demonstrating the first fully-integrated MOS opamp. This single achievement propelled him to the top of his generation of researchers and earned him a Berkeley PhD degree, a teaching appointment at Columbia University and a consulting position at Bell Laboratories.

i-MOS version 201410 release

  New release of the interactive Modeling and On-line Simulation Platform (i-MOS), version 201410 has been released. In this release we have launched some new features:

• Developing an ‘Equalizer’ module in the ‘Model’ page for easy model parameter tuning
• Accommodating multiple parameters in this module for users’ most convenience
• Improving the ‘Custom data’ function for manual parameter extractions
• Updating the TFET model e-TIM (previous e-TuT) to support multiple materials
• Including an am-bipolar current module in the e-TIM

The new  release is ready here i-MOS.
