I've got an offer for a pre-doc position within the Electronic Technology Group of the Balearic Islands University. The amount of the bourse are around 1000 euros per month, for four years. After this time, the candidate should be able to read the PhD thesis, and obtain this degree.
Those interested, please contact Eugenio Garcia: eugeni.garcia(_at_)uib.es (substitute _at_ by @)

New IC-CAP package
A new addition from Agilent to their unofficially official parameter extraction program. As they say:
"Creating device-simulation models for advanced process technologies is problematic because physical wafers that meet specifications with acceptable yield often are not produced for months to years," said Roberto Tinti, product marketing manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA division. "Our Target Modeling Package addresses this by providing an easy way to extract CMOS device models from a reduced set of Process Control Monitor data before wafers from a new process are produced. Our customers tell us that extracting simulation models before a process matures can save them several months in a typical design cycle."
You can have a look to the full press release here.

Play a game
Applied Materials has launched a small game about how to made a 65nm transistor... It's quite interesting, and let's you know quite a lot about the fabrication process.... Have a look here, and see if you can get 100/100 score!

MIEL'08
The 26th International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL 2008) will be held in Nis (Serbia) on May 11-14 2008.
MIEL is one of the most prestigeous Microelectronics conferences in Europe. Topics ofthe conference include all subjects related to electronic devices and electronic circuits.
This year a number of top researchers in electron devices will give invited presentations.
Prof Jamal Deen will present an invited contribution entitled "Towards Low-cost, High-Sensitivity, Integrated Biosensors".
Prof. Mark Lundstrom will give a very interesting invited talk, entitled: "Electronics from the Bottom Up: An Approach to 21st Century Electronic Devices"
And one invited presentation about compact modeling: Dr Slobodan Mijalkovic, another invited speaker, will make a presentation on compact modeling of organic transistors: "Modelling of Organic Field-Effect Transistors for Technology and Circuit Design"
Prof E.Sangiorgi will talk about "Silicon Based Nano-MOSFET: New Materials, New Device Architectures, and New Challenges for Device Simulation".
Prof.Mikael Östling will present new results about Schottky-Barrier MOSFETs: "Towards a Nano-MOSFET with Schottky Barrier Drain/Source"
And there is a very challenging invited presentation from Prof Radivoje Popovic: "Counting Single Electrons in CMOS Circuit"
There are many other invited presentations!
By the way, the social programme of MIEL is superb! Every evening there is a copious dinner, based on traditional and delicious Serbian cuisine. Besides, there is lot of slivovitz, fun and dancing in the gala dinner!

2008 IEEE International SOI Conference
The 2008 IEEE International SOI Conference will be held 6 – 9 October, 2008 at the Mohonk Mountain House in the beautiful Hudson River Valley in upstate New York.
There will be a Short Course on October 6 2008.
The deadline for abstract submission is May 2 2008. Late papers with exceptional merit will be considered for the Late News Session if submitted on or before 25 August, 2008.
There is a Best Paper Award and also a Best Poster Award.
I remember that some papers on compact modeling won one of those awards, so it is a good topic for this conference.
The place of the Conference is very attractive. It is located atop of the Shawangunk Mountains. There is a very good offer of outdoor opportunities: hiking, lake swimming, boating, ...
The IEEE International SOI Conference is the main conference devoted to current trends in Silicon-on-Insulator technology. It provides an excellent forum for open discussion in all areas of SOI technologies and their applications.
