scheduled for August 11-13, 2023 (online/onsite)

Preannouncement and Call for Papers

Together with local host, as well as all the Extended MOS-AK TPC Committee, would like to invite you to the 7th Sino MOS-AK Workshop in Nanjing (CN) which will be organized as the online/onsite event on August 11-13, 2023 providing an opportunity to meet the internation modeling experts, engineers and researchers. A training course related to SiC topic (device modeling, packaging models, circuits, modules and final application) is planned for the first MOS-AK day, following by two days of the MOS-AK compact/SPICE modeling and its Verilog-A discussions. 

Upcoming, subsequent 7th Sino MOS-AK Workshop in Nanjing (CN) 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 academic and industrial experts in the compact modeling field together, as well as obtain feedback from technology developers, circuit designers, and CAD/EDA tool developers and vendors, in particular using Free open source PDKs.

Topics to be covered include the following among other related to the compact/SPICE modeling and its Verilog-A standardization:

• Compact Modeling (CM) of the electron devices
• Advances in semiconductor technologies and processing
• Verilog-A language for CM standardization
• New CM techniques and extraction software
• Open Source (FOSS) TCAD/EDA modeling and simulation
• CM of passive, active, sensors and actuators
• Emerging Devices, Organic TFT, CMOS and SOI-based memory
• Microwave, RF device modeling, high voltage device modeling
• Nanoscale CMOS, BiCMOS, SiGe, GaN, InP devices and circuits
• Technology R&D, DFY, DFT and reliability/aging IC designs
• Foundry/Fabless Interface Strategies (eg: using Free open source PDKs)

Important Dates:

• Call for Papers - Jan 2023
• 2nd Announcement - April 2023
• Final Workshop Program - July 2023
• 7th Sino MOS-AK Workshop -  Aug. 11-13, 2023 (online/onsite)
