IEEE International Workshop on Compact Thin-Film Transistor Modeling for Circuit Simulation

The first IEEE International Workshop on Compact Thin-Film Transistor Modeling for Circuit Simulation will be held in the Moller Center, in Cambridge, UK, on September 11-12 2008.

This interesting workshop is organized by the IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee, in collaboration with the London Center for Nanotechnology, University College of London, UK, the Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, Cambridge University, UK, and the IEEE UK-RI (AP/ED/LEO/MTT) joint Chapter.

Compact modeling of TFTs has become nowadays a very hot topic, due to the extension of the applications of TFTs. This workshop will provide a forum for discussions and current developments on compact TFT modeling.

Topics include:

• Physics of TFTs and operating principles
• Compact TFT device models for circuit simulation
• Model implementation and circuit analysis techniques
• Model parameter extraction techniques
• Applications of compact TFT models in emerging products
• Compact models for interconnects in active matrix flat panels

The deadline for abstract submission is July 15.

I will give an invited presentation in this workshop. And there will be other interesting invited presentations.

This is the first workshop that is devoted to compact TFT modeling. I recommend the TFT modeling and TFT circuit design communities to attebnd this workshop.

Besides, in conjunction with the workshop on “Compact TFT Modeling for Circuit Simulation,” IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Compact Modeling Technical Committee (CMTC) in collaboration with IEEE UK-RI AP/ED/LEO/MTT Chapter has organized EDS mini-colloquia (MQ) on September 12, 2008 at Moller Centre, Cambridge, UK.
