Wikipedia entry for EKV

As a result of an initiative promoted by Wladek Grabinski, we're happy to announce that the wikipedia entry for the EKV Model has been translated from English into Spanish and Greek. As Wladek says, it's time for other languages to come in. If any of you are interested, please contact us or let us know of your work!

ULIS'08

The 2008 Ultimate Integration on Silicon (ULIS) Conference will take place in Udine (Italy) on March 13-14.

ULIS has become a very interesting open forum for the presentation and discussion of recent research in technology, physics, modeling, simulation and characterization of advanced nanoscale silicon and silicon compatible devices in the More Moore, More than Moore and Beyond CMOS domains.

The deadline for paper submissions has been extended to January 23.

Besides, this year edition will include a tutorial session on 'Process and Device Issues from a Circuit Point of View'.

Udine is located in the region Friuli Venezia Giulia which offers many opportunities for outdoor.

Besides, the Gala Dinner will take place in the historical Villa Gallici Deciani.

Seventh International Caribbean Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems

Wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year, I would like to remind you about the Seventh International Caribbean Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems, ICCDCS 2008, which will be held in Cancún, México, April 28-30. This conference will be preceded by an IEEE EDS Mini-Colloquium, on Sunday April 27. More information can be found on the conference's web pages or in the call for papers.

Happy new year!

With our best wishes, we hope the new year 2008 will bring happiness and joy to you and all your loved ones.

2008 IEEE Compound Semiconductor IC Symposium

The 2008 IEEE Compound Semiconductor IC Symposium (CSICS 20008)
will take place in Monterey (in the Portola Plaza Hotel) in October 12-15 2008.

CSICS is the major conference in Compound Semiconductor technologies integrated circuits. The scope of the conference includes all topics related to the fabrication, design, applications, testing, packaging and reliability of compound semiconductor devices and circuits. All compound semiconductor technologies are addressed: GaAs, GaN, SiGe, InP,...

The deadline for electronic receipt of abstracts is May 12 2008.

Extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits.

Besides, CSICs 2008 will offer the popular primer course "Basics of GaAs, InP and SiGe RFICs".


And, last but not least, the Symposium offers the possibility to enjoy several days in the beautiful and picturesque city of Monterey, with its famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, wonderful beaches, the Monterey Bay harbor and hundreds of dining and entertainment options, including the famous Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant!
