Ph D student fellowship in semiconductor device modeling

There is an open call for international fellowships to pursue a Ph D in Spain (the so-called "Becas MAE-AECID" from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation).

We want to get one fellowship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona , Spain. The subject of the Ph D would be o the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of nanoscale semiconductor devices, in particular III-V transistors. It will be related to two European projects in which the hosting group participates.

The duration of the grant will be 4 years. The monthly salary will be 1000 Euro/month.

Candidates cannot be Spanish citizens nor residents in Spain. However, it is required that they
have at least a basic knowledge of the Spanish language.

The candidate should have a Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

Applicants must send to my e-mail address (benjamin.iniguez@gmail.com), and by January 17 2010, a CV together with
a copy of the academic certificates indicating the grades obtained for all subjects during their studies.

Tarragona is a medium city (100000 inhabitants) with a pleasant Mediterranean climate and many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, nature preserves, mountain hiking, touristic resorts and facilities). It is located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona, and it is very well connected by train, bus, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.

My research group in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) is one of the strongest groups in compact modeling in Europe. We are leading one European project on compact modeling of semiconductor devices (in which a total of 15 European universities and companies participate).

Additional information about the University and the department can be found at: http://www.urv.cat/ and sauron.etse.urv.es.

Semiconductors: Today & Tomorrow

Semiconductors: Today & Tomorrow is a cycle of seminars, running from January to June 2010, that bring a closer insight about trends, challenges and opportunities in semiconductor technology. Presented by expert, industry professionals the seminars seek to inspire and motivate students and professors alike into new areas of research and development, and to foster an entrepreneurial spirit that looks at emerging opportunities in the industry.

[mos-ak] C4F MOS-AK/GSA Rome Workshop

C4F MOS-AK/GSA Workshop: http://www.mos-ak.org/rome/

The IEEE Electron Devices Society is sponsoring coming MOS-AK/GSA
Workshop to be held in cooperation with the Faculty of Engineering,
Sapienza Università di Roma. 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. Suggested topics include (but
are not limited to):
* Compact Modeling (CM) of the electron devices
* Verilog-A language 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
* Nanoscale CMOS devices and circuits
* Technology R&D, DFY, DFT and IC Designs
* Foundry/Fabless Interface Strategies

On-line abstract submission is open with the deadline on Feb. 15, 2010
http://www.mos-ak.org/rome/abstracts.php

Selected best MOS-AK papers will be published in a special issue of
the Microelectronics Journal:

[mos-ak] MOS-AK/GSA Baltimore meeting on-line publications

MOS-AK/GSA Baltimore meeting on-line publications are available:
http://www.mos-ak.org/baltimore/

I would like to thank all MOS-AK contributors, speakers and panelists
for sharing their compact modeling competence, R&D experience and
delivering valuable MOS-AK presentations. I am sure, that our modeling
event in Baltimore was beneficial to all MOS-AK Workshop attendees.

Organization of our modeling event would not be possible without our
generous sponsor: the IEEE EDS/SSCS Baltimore Chapter. I also would
like to personally acknowledge local organizers, in particular Prof.
Andreas G. Andreou for his dedication, commitment and providing smooth
logistics.

I hope, we would have a next chance to meet all of you and your
academic and industrial partners at future MOS-AK/GSA modeling events
(listed below).
