Fwd: EUROSOI-ULIS 2026: Call for papers

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to announce the 12th Joint EuroSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EuroSOI-ULIS 2026), which will take place from May 20 to 22, 2026, in Granada, Spain.

This conference aims to bring together scientists and engineers in an interactive forum to discuss SOI technology and advanced microelectronic devices. A key objective is to foster collaboration and partnerships among academia, research institutions, and industry stakeholders in the field.

We warmly invite students and researchers from both academic and industrial backgrounds to submit their abstracts and join us in Granada. The conference offers an excellent opportunity to engage with colleagues, share knowledge, and experience the charm of this marvelous city.

We are also pleased to announce that the "IRDS & ISRDS workshop" will take place as a satellite event on 18–19 May at the same venue. This event will be an opportunity to dive into the heart of semiconductor innovation — to explore emerging directions in computing, and in materials and devices for computing — with expert-led sessions. Participation will be free of charge.

Abstract: To investigate the process fluctuation influence on SRAM (static random-access memory) single event upset in sub-20nm FinFET (fin field-effect transistor) process, a high precision 3D TCAD model based on commercial process fluctuations was established, then simulated to find the FinFET SRAM single event upset threshold under different process corners. The simulation results show that the FinFET SRAM upset threshold has less variation induced by process corner fluctuation. Then, to understand the impact of specific process parameter fluctuations on the single event upset threshold, the process fluctuation factor impact on single event upset was discussed, including fin width, fin height, the oxide thickness and the work function fluctuation. The simulation results show that the first two factors did not affect the upset threshold, while the latter two factors caused slight fluctuations in the upset threshold. Significant reduction in the impact of process fluctuations on FinFET SRAM single event upset threshold is firstly found, which is of great significance for the development of highly consistent radiation hardened aerospace integrated circuits.

Abstract: Correlated mobility fluctuations are considered in the physics-based carrier number fluctuation (ΔΝ) low-frequency noise (LFN) compact model of single-layer graphene field effect transistors (GFET) in the present study. Trapped charge density and Coulomb scattering coefficient ΔΝ LFN parameters are obtained after applying a parameter extraction methodology, adapted from conventional silicon technologies,to the linear ambipolar regions of GFETs. Appropriate adjustments are considered in the method according to GFETs’physical characteristics. Afterwards, Hooge mobility as well asseries resistance fluctuations LFN parameters can be extracted.The updated LFN model is validated with experimental data from various long and short-channel GFETs at an extendedrange of gate and drain bias conditions.

[paper] Noise Propagation and Statistic Variability in MOSFETs

Raphael Chatzipantelis, Loukas Chevas, Nikolaos Makris and Matthias Bucher
Noise Propagation and Statistic Variability in MOSFETs Using Probability Density Functions
Fluctuation and Noise Letters (Accepted Paper)

Abstract: Probability density functions using stochastic methods are shown to be an effective tool in the context of MOSFET noise and variability modeling. These methods are employed here in the context of the charge-based EKV MOSFET model. As an example, a Gaussian noise density function applied at the gate or the source of a MOSFET causes a corresponding drain current noise density function, which may be expressed analytically as a function of inversion coefficient only. The same expression may be used to model drain current variability due to MOSFET parameters such as threshold voltage. Furthermore, the method is extended to variations of quantities such as transconductance and transconductance-to-current ratio. The method shows promise in variability modeling of MOSFETs and may complement traditional approaches.
FIG: Comparing the traditional ”small-signal” transconductance method with the stochastic PDF method for 𝑖𝑓, derived from the charge-based model, where in both cases the same noise (or variability) at the gate is applied (𝑉𝐺= 87mV, 𝜎𝑉𝐺=10mV), centered at 𝑖𝑓=2, showing slightly different mean and ±3𝜎 values, while the tail distributions differ significantly.
