[mos-ak] BSIM EKV Workshop at EPFL Lausanne on Dec. 15-16, 2011

Invitation to

The Nano-Tera Workshop on the Next Generation MOSFET Compact Models
15-16 December, 2011, EPFL

The BSIM group recently proposed BSIM6 as the new MOSFET compact model
to eventually replace BSIM3, BSIM4 and PSP for next generation bulk
CMOS processes. Trying to take advantage of the charge based features
of EKV, the BSIM research team from University of California,
Berkeley, led by Prof. Chenming Hu and the EKV modeling team at EPFL,
led by Prof. Christian Enz, decided to jointly develop the new BSIM6
compact model.

The BSIM EKV partnership has been officially announced by Profs. Hu
and Enz at the last ESSDERC-ESSIRC Conference during the MOS-AK
Workshop <http://mos-ak.org/helsinki/#BSIM-EKV>. The Nano-Tera
Workshop on the Next Generation MOSFET Compact Models will convene all
the BSIM and EKV researchers as well as the experts from the industry
to give an update on the latest status of BSIM6 and EKV (and
eventually other models as well) to the modeling and designer
community.

The detailed workshop program is available at: <http://ekv.epfl.ch/

Space and time combine to overpower the human brain

Rich Goldman VP from Synopsys concluded that by the middle of this century, computing power will exceed the thinking capacity of all the humans beings on the planet.

For example, Goldman said, a 1982 Intel 80286 was 28 times more powerful than computers on the Voyagers 1 and 2, launched in 1977. Sputnik computers were capable of only 2,000 instructions per second. And a 2010 Apple iPad is 689 times more powerful than the onboard computers on the Columbia space shuttle, first launched in 1981. [read more]

[mos-ak] C4P MOS-AK/GSA Workshop in Washington DC on Dec. 7 2011

C4P MOS-AK/GSA Workshop in Washington DC on Dec. 7 2011
-------------------------------------------------------
http://www.mos-ak.org/washington_dc/
-------------------------------------------------------
Together with the Organizing Committee and Extended MOS-AK/GSA TPC
Committee, we have pleasure to invite to the MOS-AK/GSA Workshop in
Washington DC on Dec. 7 2011

The MOS-AK/GSA Workshop is HiTech forum to discuss the frontiers of
the electron devices modeling with emphasis on simulation-aware
models. Original papers presenting new developments and advances in
the compact/spice modeling and its Verilog-A standardization are
solicited. The main topics of the workshop are: (but are not limited
to):
* Compact Modeling (CM) of the electron devices
* VHDL-AMS/Verilog-A for CM standardization
* New CM techniques and extraction software
* CM of passive, active, sensors and actuators
* Emerging devices, CMOS and SOI-based memory cells
* Microwave, RF device modeling, high voltage device modeling
* Transistor Level IC support
* Nanoscale CMOS devices and circuits
* Reliability and thermal management of electron devices
* Technology R&D, DFY, DFT and IC designs
* Foundry/Fabless interface strategies

The terms of participation:
-------------------------------------------------------
Authors are asked to submit a short (~200words) abstract using on-
line
submission form by OCT.30 http://www.mos-ak.org/washington_dc
Intending authors should also note the following deadlines:
* Announcement and Call for Papers - Oct 2011
* on-line abstract submission deadline - OCT.30, 2011
* Final Workshop Program - Nov. 2011
* MOS-AK/GSA Workshop - Dec. 7, 2011
