Online Classes on The Principle of Semiconductor Devices

Professor Mansun Chan, UST (HK), has developed a 13 weeks online class on the principle of semiconductor devices.  Unlike tradition lectures, the class use extensive animations to help students to visualize the actions of carriers in a device.  The classes was divided into two part, part I on semiconductor carrier statistics, PN Junction, BJT and part II on MOSFET and advanced FET.

Abstract - A GNU Octave - based application for device-level compact model evaluation and parameter extraction has been developed. The applications main features are as follows: experimental I–V data importing, generating input data for different circuit simulation programs, running the simulation program to calculate I–V characteristics of the specified models, calculating model misfit and its sensitivity to selected parameter variation, and the comparison of experimental and simulated characteristics. Measured I–V data stored by different measurement systems are accepted. Circuit simulations may be done with Ngspice, Qucs and LTSpiceIV © . Selected aspects of the application are presented and discussed.

ICMTS2020 #paper: Cutoff Frequency Fluctuation in RF-MOSFETs

2020 ICMTS, April 6-9, Edinburgh (UK)
Novel Statistical Modeling and Parameter Extraction Methodology
of Cutoff Frequency for RF-MOSFETs
Chika Tanaka, Yasuhiko Iguchi, Atsushi Sueoka, and Sadayuki Yoshitomi
Memory Division, Kioxia Corporation
2-5-1, Kasama, Sakae-ku, Yokohama, 247-8585, Japan

Abstract: The cutoff frequency fluctuation in RF-MOSFET has been investigated. Detailed analysis for capacitance fluctuation as well as the extraction of an intrinsic MOSFET parameter were performed. The extracted process parameters were verified by the framework of effective mobility. The global statistical model of cutoff frequency was successfully developed in terms of capacitance fluctuation, considering intrinsic (channel and bulk charge) and extrinsic (overlap and fringe) capacitance components separately and identifying the major variability sources for cutoff frequency by using extracted parameter.

Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2020 at 22:03
Subject: MIXDES 2020 moves online
To: <wladek@grabinski.ch>


Dear Colleagues,

As the Covid-19 disease is spreading worldwide and we have not yet seen
the peak, we have decided to move current edition of MIXDES to the
Internet. Hopefully next year we will be able to meet face to face. In
the meantime please keep your calendars blocked for the original
conference dates (June 25-27), and prepare to join us online. We will
inform you about the details later.

We are planning to reduce the conference fee to the level of ca. 100 Euro.

As in the previous years, the Conference Proceedings containing all the
presented papers will still be published on IEEE Xplore, so you do not
have to worry about visibility of your papers.


Wishing you Happy Easter and hoping that you stay safe,

Mariusz Orlikowski

Grenoble, April 9th, 2020

 

Dear TPC members of ESSCIRC-ESSDERC conference,

 

First of all, we truly hope this email finds you in good health, together with family and friends!

 

Together with our sponsoring IEEE Societies, SSCS and EDS, ESSCIRC-ESSDERC is closely monitoring developments related to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our members is the number one priority of our societies. As of today April the 9th, 2020, more than one third of the Global population is under severe confinement, as a result of the protective public health measures imposed by the different governments, states or provinces. The situation is still evolving rapidly and dramatically, unfortunately in an unpredictable way.

 

Given this uncertain situation, we, the organizing committee of ESSxxRC2020 Grenoble and the ESSCIRC-ESSDERC Steering committee, have decided to propose a new format for our conference:

 

From a practical point of view:

For all the authors who have been or were about to prepare papers for this version of ESSCIRC-ESSDERC, we strongly encourage you to submit your publications directly to the following IEEE journals:

  • For ESSCIRC, please see https://sscs.ieee.org/publications:
    • IEEE SSC-L, Solid-State Circuits Letters (same 4-pages format as ESSCIRC)
      • The SSCS has just created a Special Section on ESSCIRC 2020, inside the SSC-Letters: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ssc-l
      • When submitting their manuscript, authors need to select: Special Section on ESSCIRC 2020. It is open for submissions from April 9, 2020 to May 4, 2020.
      • The authors having accepted papers through this path will be kindly invited in September 2021 to present this same work in a Special Oral Session of ESSCIRC2021.
    • IEEE JSSC, Journal of Solid-State Circuits
    • IEEE O-JSSC, Open-Journal of Solid-State Circuits (open access)

  • For ESSDERC, please see https://eds.ieee.org/publications :
    • IEEE EDL, Electron Devices Letters (same 4-pages format as ESSDERC) 
    • IEEE TED, Transactions on Electron Devices
    • IEEE JEDS, Journal of Electron Devices Society (open access)
    • We are actively working with EDS to propose a similar Special Section for ESSDERC together with ED-L.

 

In 2021, we are planning to resume to a usual conference development schedule with tentative dates of: 

  • paper submission deadline on April 19th, 2021,
  • the conference in Grenoble, September 6-9, 2021.

All the topology of the conference with regards to the different tracks and TPC members stays exactly the same for 2021. You might as well be solicited by the different IEEE journals for anonymous reviews, please do provide all your support, as they will get a much larger volume of publications than regular.

 

The 2022 version of ESSCIRC-ESSDERC will take place in September 2022 in Milano. We thank very much to Andrea Baschirotto&team for their immediate proactivity, flexibility and cooperation.

 

This information shall be posted as well on our website within the hour, and we will massively announce it also on social media. Please do not hesitate to spread this information to your personal network.

 

Thank you very much for your continued trust, and stay safe!

 

Kind regards,
