#BOOK: Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology

 
Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology:
 Circuit Design, and Process Technology
 Luciano Lavagno, Igor L. Markov, Grant Martin, Louis K. Scheffer
 CRC Press, 27 Apr 2016 - Technology & Engineering - 786 pages, 2nd Edition

The second of two volumes in the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition, EDA for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and TCAD thoroughly examines real-time logic (RTL) to GDSII (a file format used to transfer data of semiconductor physical layout) design flow, analog/mixed signal design, physical verification, and technology computer-aided design (TCAD). Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss design for manufacturability (DFM) at the nanoscale, power supply network design and analysis, design modeling, and much more.

4th Training Course on Compact Modeling

 4th Training Course on Compact Modeling 
 (TCCM) 
 in Tarragona on June 27-28 2016

The 4th TCCM is partially sponsored by the DOMINO H2020 project. It will consist a series of lectures conducted by prestigious researchers in the field of modeling of semiconductor devices, dealing with several issues related to the semiconductor device modeling, mostly compact/SPICE modeling. It is a very interesting event to PhD students and young researchers, but can interest senior researchers too.

Invited TCCM Lecturers:
  • Morgan Madec (Univ of Strasbourg, France): Compact modeling for biological applications
  • Mansun Chan (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology): An Integrated Approach for Circuit Performance and Reliability Simulation
  • Mohammed Nawaz (ABB Sweden): Static and dynamic characterization of SiC based MOSFETs/IGBTs
  • Christoph Jungemann (RWTH-Aachen): TCAD and semiclassical device modeling
  • Antonio Cerdeira (CINVESTAV, Mexico): Model parameter extraction techniques
  • Fabrizio Torricelli (Univ. of Brescia, Italy): Modelling of Amorphous-Oxide-Semiconductors TFTs for large-area flexible electronics
  • Eugenio Cantatore (TU-Eindhoven): Application of compact models for organic circuit design
  • Ahmed Nejim (Silvaco): TCAD for compact model development
  • Firas Mohammed (Infiniscale): Mathematical and Semi-physical compact modeling for emerging technologies
  • Heinz Olaf Müller (Plastic Logic): Device simulation for Organic Electronics using Genius
Besides, on June 29 1016, a Workshop on Flexible Electronics will be organized, too. Attendees to TCCM who work on Flexible Electronics (not necessarily modeling) will have a chance to present recent results on their own. 

Finally, on June 30-July 1 we will organize the Annual Graduate Student Meeting on Electronic Engineering, consisting of plenary talks by prestigious researchers and student presentations.
