[seminar] OpenPDK - Global Scholar Platform

Radiofrequency, Microwave and Millimetre-Wave Lab (mmiRF)

ETSI Telecomunicación,  Universidad de Málaga, Andalusia

Wednesday, May 27th, at 12:00

The mmiRF Lab is pleased to invite you to our upcoming hybrid seminar, which will be available both in person and online:

• OpenPDK - Global Scholar Platform
• Wednesday, May 27th, at 12:00
• mmiRF Lab, ETSI Telecomunicación, Universidad de Málaga
• Join the meeting online (MS Teams)

The semiconductor industry is evolving. The emergence of OpenPDKs is creating a new platform for global collaboration and education. The seminar will explore:

• The role of FOSS CAD/EDA tools in building a global talent ecosystem.
• OpenPDK initiatives from SkyWater, GF, and IHP (the first in Europe).
• Complete open IC design flows: Xschem, ngspice, Xyce, Magic, kLayout, and more.
• Hands-on examples of analog, RF, and digital IC design

Don't miss this chance to learn from a leading expert in the field and explore the tools shaping the future of microelectronics!

Speaker Bio: Wladek Grabinski received his Ph.D. from the ITE Warsaw, in 1991. He worked at ETHZ on CMOS/BiCMOS characterization and at EPFL on compact EKV model development, later serving as a technical staff engineer at Motorola/FSL in Geneva. He is now a consultant specializing in OpenPDK, coordinating SPICE modeling, device characterization, and parameter extraction for analog/RF IC design, with particular interests in high-frequency measurement, compact modeling and its Verilog-A standardization. He co-edited the book Transistor Level Modeling for Analog/RF IC Design, contributed to the Compact/SPICE Modeling Chapter of the Springer Handbook of Semiconductor Devices, and authored 70+ papers. Furthermore, he also contributes to IEEE EDS, LAEDC, ESSDERC, and MIXDES and manages the MOS-AK association since 1999.
