Ph D scholarship about semiconductor device modeling in Tarragona (Spain)

 We want to get one scholarship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona , Spain. The subject of the Ph D would be o the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of nanoscale semiconductor devices, in particular two-dimensional semiconductor devices, (which are one of the most promising device structures for downscaling to 1nm), in particular transistors or memristors. It will be related to funding research projects in which the hosting group participates.

The duration of the grant will be 3 years.

The candidate should have a  Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics, obtained between January 1 2020 and October  2022. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

Applicants must send to my e-mail address (benjamin.iniguez@urv.cat), and by November 9 2022, a CV together witha copy of the academic certificates indicating the grades obtained for all subjects during their studies (both Bachelor Degree and Master Degree).

Tarragona is a medium city (100000 inhabitants) with a pleasant Mediterranean climate and many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, nature preserves, mountain hiking, touristic resorts and facilities). It is located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona, and it is very well connected by train, bus, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.

My research group in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) is one of the strongest groups in compact modeling in Europe. We have led or are leading several national and European projects targeting semiconductor device characterization, physics and modeling.

[online] Consultation workshop "Chips for Europe" Initiative

Consultation workshop "Chips for Europe" Initiative

Shaping Europe's digital future

As part of the ongoing consultation on the upcoming implementation of the "Chips for Europe" Initiative, as foreseen within Pillar 1 of the proposed Chips Act, we are organising a virtual workshop on Thursday 29th September 2022. Here we will be presenting the Commission's ideas on future pilot lines and a design platform, key components of the Commission's strategy to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem in Europe and accelerate the process from the lab to the fab. 

The workshop will be split into two parts:

10:00 – 12:30 CET: design platform and its implementation

14:00 – 16:30 CET: pilot lines and their implementation

The agenda will include an opportunity for an exchange of views with stakeholders.

Those interested in joining are invited to register.

Hermann K. Gummel Obituary

as posted <https://ieee-ceda.org/post/hermann-k-gummel-obituary>

Beloved Hermann Gummel passed away on Monday, 5 September at 99 years old, surrounded by his ‘dearly ones’. Hermann was born on 6 July 1923 in Hannover, Germany to Hans and Charlotte Gummel, the middle brother of an older sister, Bärbel, and younger brother, Achi. After graduating high school, Herman was enlisted as a radio operator for the German army in World War II. He was wounded and taken prisoner during the Normandy Landing (DDay) and ultimately sent to a hospital in Scotland. Throughout his life, Hermann was deeply grateful for the compassionate care of the doctors and staff there, who saved his leg from amputation.

Hermann’s intellectual aptitude and interest in academia would define the trajectory of his life. After the war, he enrolled in the University of Marburg as a wounded veteran, where he fell in love with, and later married, his wife Erika Reich. They were married for 64 years before her passing in 2016.

In addition to love, academia also took Hermann to new land. Hermann was awarded a Fullbright scholarship to Syracuse University, marking the beginning of a new life that he and Erica would forge together in the United States. Hermann obtained his doctorate in Physics, during which he also became a father for the first time to his daughter Monica in 1953. Hermann and Erica’s second daughter, Margaret was born five years later in 1958.

After completing his Doctorate, the family moved to Plainfield, NJ in 1957 and Hermann began a lifelong career working at Bell Laboratories. Hermann worked as a Director at “Mother Bell” for 30 years, then as a consultant for an additional 10+ years after his “retirement”. Throughout this time, the family lived in North Plainfield (1960-1976), then Berkeley Heights (1976-2005), and finally, at the Cedar Crest Senior Living Community in northern New Jersey.

Within the scientific community, Hermann is considered a pioneer in the semiconductor industry, leaving behind a distinguished legacy in the field of design technology for integrated electronics. He was a scientific mentor, leader, and visionary for many in the field. Awarded the prestigious Phil Kaufman award and known for the ‘Gummel Number’, the Gummel-Poon Model, and numerous other technical achievements. Within his family, he continues to be simply and lovingly, “Dad” and “Opa”.

Hermann is survived and loved by both his children, Monica and Margi, his grandchildren, Tracy and Pammy, as well as his great-grandchildren, Marco and Nico. The scientific community will remember Hermann for his technical contributions. His loved ones will remember him for his integrity, boundless intellectual curiosity and discipline, his loyalty, and a heart that was endlessly grateful for the life he lived and those he loved.
