[C4P] SISPAD 2021, September 27-29

International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices
SISPAD 2021, September 27-29
The abstract submission deadline April 9th.

Two-page abstract (text and figures, A4, 10 – 12 pt, pdf) should be sent to <sispad2021@utdallas.edu>  Authors of accepted papers are requested to submit a four-page final paper which will be published in the conference proceedings. The deadline for submission of the four-page final paper is July 9, 2021.

The SISPAD conference series provides an open forum for the presentation of the latest results and trends in process and device simulation. The conference is the leading forum for Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) and is held alternatingly in the United States, Japan, and Europe in September.

Original contributions are solicited for SISPAD 2021 on topics that include but are not limited to:
  • Modeling and simulation of established semiconductor device, including FinFETs, GAA FETs, ultra-thin SOI devices, optoelectronic devices, TFTs, sensors, power electronic devices, and organic electronic devices.
  • Modeling and simulation of emerging devices including tunnel FETs, SETs, spintronic devices, straintronic devices, bio-electronic devices, and new material-based devices for various applications
  • Modeling and simulation of interconnects, including noise and parasitic effects
  • Modeling and simulation of all sorts of semiconductor processes, including first principles material design, and growth simulation of nano-scale fabrication
  • Advances in fundamental aspects of device modeling and simulation, including of charge, spin, and thermal transport, of collective states including spin/magnetic and charge, and of fluctuation, noise, and reliability.
  • Numerical methods and algorithms, including grid generation, user-interface, and visualization
  • Compact modeling for circuit simulation, including low-power, high frequency, and power electronics applications
  • Process/device/circuit co-simulation in context with system design and verification, including for emerging devices
  • Modeling and simulation of equipment, topography, lithography
  • Benchmarking, calibration, and verification of simulators

Virtual Si Museum /2109/ Oric1

Released on 5 March 1981, the ZX81 was the successor to 1980s ZX80 and, like its predecessor, was based around a Z80 CPU. Two years later, in summer 1983, I bought my Oric1, my first home computer based around a 8-bit 6502A running at amazing CPU clock of 1 MHz. For a reference, next to the Oric1 logo, is Raspberry Pi Zero based around a 32-bit ARM11 running at CPU clock of 1 GHz. What an astonishing CPU clock rate gain over less than 4decades = 1000 time faster:
