2019 CAD-TFT Workshop in Tarragona (Spain)

2019 International Workshop on

Computer Aided Design of Thin-Film Transistors (CAD-TFT)

University Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona (Catalonia) Spain

July 8-10, 2019

The 2019 CAD-TFT Workshop will provide a forum for discussions and current practices on compact TFT modeling and to promote research on CAD techniques at all levels (TCAD, compact modelling, circuit & system design) for TFT technologies. It is also intended to promote the training of students, young researchers and engineers and to build international, academic-industry, and cross-level collaborations to evoke new applications of TFT technologies. The workshop will technically be co-sponsored by the IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee, in joint collaboration with the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering (DEEEiA) of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) and Silvaco Europe Ltd. An EDS Mini-Colloquium will take place on July 8. 

The chair of the 2019 CAD-TFT Workshop and the EDS Mini-Colloquium is Prof. Benjamin Iñiguez, from URV.

 

A partial list of the areas of interest includes:

· Physics of TFTs and operating principles

· Compact TFT device models for circuit simulation

· Model implementation and circuit analysis techniques

· Model parameter extraction techniques

· TFT design for displays and emerging applications

█ Abstract Submission Deadline: May 1, 2019

Please note, abstracts will be considered for the conference even after the official submission deadline.

Prospective participants should email a no-more-than 100-word abstract to: benjamin.iniguez@urv.cat

Tarragona is about 100 Km south from Barcelona, on the coast (the so-called "Costa Daurada", Golden Coast). Traveling to Tarragona from Barcelona is easier. There are frequent direct buses between Tarragona and Barcelona Airport, and also frequent trains between Tarragona and Barcelona. Besides, from some European cities it is possible to fly to Reus Airport, which is about 10 Km from Tarragona.

Tarragona is one of the most  important hubs of tourism in Europe, not only because of the nice beaches around the city, but also because of its historical landmarks.. Tarragona was a very important city of the Roman Empire. In 2000 UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tarraco (name of Tarragona during the Roman Empire) a World Heritage Site. This recognition is intended to help ensure the conservation of the monuments, as well as to introduce them to the broader international public.
