SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 21, 2012
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that Accelicon Technologies' software solutions and technology for device-level modeling and validation in the electronics industry are now part of Agilent. The two companies had announced an acquisition agreement on Dec. 1, 2011. Financial details were not disclosed.
The acquisition, led by Agilent's EEsof EDA organization, further enhances Agilent's leadership in semiconductor device modeling. Accurate, verified device models are critical to reduce R&D design cycles as higher frequencies, smaller technology nodes, new materials and device layouts call for more accurate process design kits. As part of the Software and Modular Solutions Division, Agilent EEsof continues to integrate its industry-leading design simulation with real measurements to improve design efficiency for engineers who develop communications systems. These improved tools and processes solve the increasing complexities they face when designing communications systems for aerospace/defense and commercial wireless applications.
Agilent's newly acquired solutions from Accelicon include MBP for device-level extraction and model generation, MQA for device-level model validation and AMA for advanced model analysis, including layout effects.
Accelicon was founded in 2002 by noted industry veteran Dr. Xisheng Zhang, who has now joined Agilent along with former Accelicon CEO Tim K. Smith. The majority of the former Accelicon employees are located in Beijing; they are also now part of Agilent.

8th International Conference on Organic Electronics
Tarragona, Spain June 25‐27, 2012
Organic electronics is a rapidly growing technology that is anticipated to compare with conventional microelectronics in the near future to make transistor circuits, displays and solar cells. Other application like sensors are expected. The International Conference on Organic Electronics was held from 2005 to 2008 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. In 2009, ICOE moved to Liverpool, United Kingdom, in 2010 to Paris, in 2011 in Rome, while the 2012 edition will be held at the campus of University Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Tarragona, Spain. The conference intends to cover all aspects of organic electronics, including materials and chemistry, transistors, OLEDs, photovoltaic cells, circuits and circuit design, manufacturing and inclusion in systems.
Technical areas include, but are not limited to:
- Materials and chemistry
- Transistors
- OLEDs Photovoltaic cells
- Circuits and circuit design
- Manufacturing and inclusion in systems
- Modelling
The conference will be held in coordination with two other events, partially related to the topic: the 10th Graduate Student Meeting on Electronic Engineering (June 21-22) and the 2nd International Training Course on Compact Modelling (TCCM 2012) (June 28-29).

2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling
Building on the success of its first edition in 2012, the 2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling (TCCM) will be held in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) on June 28-29 2012. It will be organized by will be organized by the NEPHOS Group, of the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona).. The General Chairman is Prof. Benjamin Iñiguez.
The Training Course on Compact Modeling will consist of 12 of lectures addressing relevant topics in the compact modeling of advanced electron devices. These lectures will be conducted by top experts in the field. Most of the lectures will target compact modeling issues applicable to many electron devices. In particular, emphasis will be given on MOSFETs (bulk, SOI, Multi-Gate and High Voltage MOS structures) and HEMTs.
The Training Course on Compact Modeling is an event sponsored by the FP7 “COMON” (COmpact MOdelling Network) IAPP Project (which is coordinated by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) in collaboration with the IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee.
The final programme will be published very soon. Registration will be cheap. It will include lunches, coffe breaks and a Gala Dinner on June 28, in a nice restaurant with TV screens to watch the Semifinals match of the Soccer European Cup ...
Besides, on June 25-27 the same group at URV will organize 8th International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE 2012) also in Tarragona. Participants to this Training Course will have a reduced fee for ICOE 2012.
Tarragona is located in the south of Catalonia, in the northeast corner of the Iberian Peninsula. Tarraco (its Roman name) was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire.
On 30 November 2000, the UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tàrraco a World Heritage Site.
Tarragona can be easily reached from Barcelona Airport by bus and train. It is about 100 Km South from Barcelona. Besides, Reus Airport (less than 15 Km from Tarragona) receives flights from many European cities in the summer.

Speaking about Tarraco's climate, the famous Roman poet Virgil wrote: "The climate blends and confuses the seasons singularly, so that all the year seems an eternal spring." Thanks to its temperate climate, with an average yearly temperature of 23ºC, its clean beaches with fine and gloden sand, and its singular artistic and architectural heritage, Tarragona is one of the most important tourism hubs in Europe.
I strongly encourage all people interested in compact modeling to attend the 2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling!

IM3OLED project to develop multi-scale OLED modelling tool
The EU-funded IM3OLED (Integrated Multidisciplinary & Multiscale Modeling for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) project has officially been launched.
IM3OLED aims to help the OLED industry speed up development by creating new modelling software that allows a more systematic R&D process. This software toolset will predictively model OLEDs in 3D and at all length scales – from molecular to large-area devices. It will include molecular calculations, electrical and optical simulation, 1D-3D light extraction and scaling / integration effects.
An important aspect of software will be the inclusion of dynamic feedback loops, enabling developers to accurately predict how changes in one area of OLED development affect other areas. This will allow multiple OLED properties to be optimised simultaneously.
The overall device efficiency of an OLED depends on many factors:
This makes it extremely difficult to predict how innovations in one area will affect performance in others, leading to a trial-and-error approach in R&D.
Stephan Harkema, project coordinator, said, “IM3OLED will develop, evaluate and validate a predictive multi-scale and multi-disciplinary modeling tool. Making such a tool available will accelerate progress of OLEDs for lighting applications and allow the European OLED industry to strengthen its leading position in this environmentally important, global market.”
IM3OLED brings together industrial and academic partners from across Europe and the Russian Federation and is coordinated by TNO/Holst Centre and by National Research Nuclear University MEPhI.
Industrial partners include OLED manufacturer Philips Electronics and specialist in simulation software SMEs Fluxim of Switzerland and Kintech of Russia.
Academic partners include leading computational physics and atomic / molecular modelling groups from the Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW) and Russian Academy of Sciences’ Photochemistry Center (PCC RAS).
Funded through the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7NMP Grant no 295368), the EU portion of the IM3OLED project will run for 30 months until late 2013.
