Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS Devices 2018

"devil of savior"
It is the 40th anniversary of Institut für Halbleitertechnik und Nanoelektronik (IHTN) of the TU Darmstadt, Germany. In addition to many activities in September, a small symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS (SB-MOS) devices is planned for August 7th in Darmstadt. This is the second meeting of an enthusiastic group of Schottky barrier researchers and this year it is sponsored by the EDS German chapter and hosted by the IHTN of TU Darmstadt.
This year the symposium is organized by Dr. Tillmann Krauss, Dr. Udo E. Schwalke, Dr. Mike Schwarz and the staff of the TU Darmstadt. The symposium starts at 11:00 am in the lecture hall at the ITHN TU Darmstadt. 
The following agenda is planned:

[Extended Deadline] Special IEEE TED Issue on “Compact Modeling for Circuit Design"

Call for papers for 
Special IEEE TED Issue
on
Compact Modeling for Circuit Design

Extended deadline: May 15, 2018               Publication date: January 2019

In order to capture the full potential of semiconductor devices, compact device models and design software are critically needed. Predictive and physical device and circuit design software are required to accelerate development cycles and tackle issues of device efficiency, manufacturing yield and product stability. The performance/accuracy of the design software is dependent on the availability of accurate device models, and for circuit design, compact models.

In particular, compact device models are the vehicle that allows the design of circuits using the targeted devices. The compact model should not only accurately capture the physics of the device in all operation regimes, but at the same time should also have an analytical or semi-analytical formulation to be used in automated design tools for the simulation of circuits containing several or many devices. On the other hand, compact models can also be used as a tool to make clear estimations and predictions of the performances of future devices following technological trends. The lack of adequate compact models for a number of emerging devices is mostly due to the insufficient understanding of the physical mechanisms that govern their behaviours. Regarding many emerging non-silicon structures, devices, circuit and system designers very often rely on empirical behavioural macro-models and/or use existing silicon device compact models based on the conventional understanding of transport processes. However, for these emerging non-silicon devices, neither approach provides a fully adequate device description under all operation conditions, nor the quantitative predictive quality required for the accurate production quality design.

Therefore, the main objective of this dedicated special issue is to engage Electron Devices Community in a serious discussion with their scholarly contributions specifically focused on solving major challenges in the broad area of compact device modeling for circuit design.
