Ph D student scholarship about compact modeling at URV (Tarragona, Spain)

We offer one scholarship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona, Spain.

The duration of the grant will be for three years. The monthly salary will be about 1000 Euro/month, which is more than enough to live in Tarragona. The position will start between January and April 2019.
The candidate should have a Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

The work to be done by the candidate will be focused on the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of novel advanced semiconductor devices, in particular nanoscale MOSFETs under cryogenic conditions for Quantum Computing.This work will be carried out in collaboration with a research team in IMEC in Leuven (Belgium).
The NEPHOS group at URV is one of the most powerful teams in Europe in the area of compact modeling of semiconductor devices.

[mos-ak] [press note] MOS-AK Workshop at ESSDERC/ESSCIRC in Dresden, Sept. 3, 2018

16th MOS-AK Workshop at ESSDERC/ESSCIRC
http://www.mos-ak.org/dresden_2018/
Dresden, Sept. 3, 2018

The MOS-AK Compact Modeling Association, a global compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization forum, held its 16th MOS-AK Workshop in the timeframe of ESSDERC/ESSCIRC. The event was hosted on September 3rd, 2018, by the TU Dresden in Dresden, Germany. The technical program of the event was coordinated by the MOS-AK TPC Committee. The workshop has received technical program promotion provided by ASCENT Network, Europractice, EPFL EDlab, IJHSES as well as NEEDS of nanoHUB.org

The MOS-AK workshop was opened by Wladek Grabinski, who has welcomed all the attendees. A group of 30+ international academic researchers and modeling engineers attended 10 technical compact modeling presentations covering full development chain from the nanoscaled technologies thru semiconductor devices modeling to advanced IC design support.

The workshop was chaired by Larry Nagel, OEC (USA), Suba Subramaniam, XFAB (D) and Matthias Bucher, TUC (GR). In the first morning session Wladek Grabinski gave an overview of the MOS-AK Community. Afterwards, Prof. Muhammad Mustafa Hussain from KAUST (SA) held a talk of "Physically Compliant CMOS Electronics Enabled Interactive Electronic System". It followed a talk by Dr. Sadayuki Yoshitomi from Toshiba Memory Corp. (J) gave some insights of "RF CMOS Compact modeling technologies past and future".
Krishna Pradeep from ST Microelectronics (D) started the second morning session with a talk entitled "Analysis and modeling of wafer level process variability in advanced FD-SOI devices using split C-V and gate current data". Kerim Yilmaz from TH Mittelhessen (D) offered a modeling approach for "Scaling correlation between DG & GAA MOSFETs". Dr. Laurie Calvet from University Paris-Sud (F) held a talk on "Compact Modeling for Neuromorphic Applications". The morning session ended with "Advanced PDK and Technologies accessible through ASCENT" by Dr. Luca Perniola from CEA (F).

The afternoon session continued with four additional talks, where Dr. Farzan Jazaeri from EPFL (CH) gave a talk on "Reliability Modeling in Harsh Radiation for Space Applications". Prof. Benjamin Iniguez from URV (SP) explained the latest results on "Low frequency noise modeling of organic and IGZO TFTs". Dr. Mike Schwarz from NanoP (D) continued with the topic "Schottky Barrier MOSFET Device Physics for Cryogenic Applications". The session was closed by a talk of Dr. Daniel Tomaszewski, ITE (PL), on various methodologies of "Compact Modeling for Process and Device Characterization".

The MOS-AK speakers have shared their latest perspectives on compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization in the dynamically evolving semiconductor industry and academic R&D. The event featured advanced technical presentations covering compact model development, implementation, deployment and all the presentations are available online for download at http://www.mos-ak.org/dresden_2018/.
