Vorwort zur 2. Auflage
Kaum ein Gebiet der Ingenieurwissenschaften entwickelt sich so rasant wie die Nanoelektronik. Seit der Drucklegung der ersten Auflage dieses Buchs wurden neue Bauelementkonzepte entwickelt, die für die weitere Entwicklung der Großintegration sehr vielverspechend sind.
Heute bereiten die drei wirtschaftlich größten Halbleiterhersteller den Übergang zu sogenannten Nanosheet-Transistoren vor. Durch konsequente Weiterentwicklung dieses Konzepts haben 2D-Materialien in der Nanoelektronik inzwischen eine große Bedeutung erlangt und werden für neue Transistorstrukturen erforscht. Diese Entwicklungen sind jetzt in der neuen Auflage des Buchs enthalten.
Weiterhin wurden die Grundlagenkapitel zur Halbleiterphysik erweitert, um dem Anspruch des Buchs als umfassendes und alleiniges Begleitbuch für Vorlesungen auch in Masterstudiengängen gerecht zu werden. Hierbei wird insbesondere der Einführung der Bandstruktur von Halbleitern und der Berechnung von Tunnelströmen mehr Raum gewidmet. Eine Vielzahl von kleineren Änderungen und Aktualisierungen in allen sonstigen Kapiteln und eine Übersicht der empfohlenen Simulationstools auf der Plattform nanohub.org runden die neue Auflage ab.
An dieser Stelle sei darauf hingewiesen, dass aus Gründen einer einheitlichen Darstellung im Text und in den grafischen Darstellungen der Punkt als Dezimaltrennzeichen entsprechend dem englischen Sprachraum verwendet wird.

[OSDA 2024] 4th Workshop on Open-Source Design Automation


4th Workshop on Open-Source Design Automation
OSDA 2024
at DATE Palacio De Congresos València, Spain
25 Mar 2024

Organiser: Christian Krieg, TU Wien, Austria

OSDA intends to provide an avenue for industry, academics, and hobbyists to collaborate, network, and share their latest visions and open-source contributions, with a view to promoting reproducibility and re-usability in the design automation space. DATE provides the ideal venue to reach this audience since it is the flagship European conference in this field -- particularly poignant due to the recent efforts across the European Union (and beyond) that mandate “open access” for publicly funded research to both published manuscripts as well as software code necessary for reproducing its conclusions. A secondary objective of this workshop is to provide a peer-reviewed forum for researchers to publish “enabling” technology such as infrastructure or tooling as open-source contributions -- standalone technology that would not normally be regarded as novel by traditional conferences -- such that others inside and outside of academia may build upon it.

Agenda:

Christian Krieg; Post-Doctoral Researcher and Teacher at TU Wien

[FOSSEE] Better Education


FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) project promotes the use of free open source software (FOSS) tools in academia and research. The FOSSEE project is part of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India. 

Below is the list of projects which are promoted by FOSSEE.
  • Scilab 
    free/libre and open source software for numerical computation developed by Scilab Enterprises, France. Scilab also includes Xcos which is an open source alternative to Simulink.
  • Python 
    general-purpose, high-level, remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. It supports multiple programming paradigms.
  • eSim 
    (formerly known as Oscad/FreeEDA) is an EDA tool for circuit design, simulation, analysis and PCB design. It is developed by the FOSSEE team at IIT Bombay 
  • Osdag

[Habilitation] Assessment of novel devices in CMOS technology

Assessment of novel devices in CMOS technology
by electrical characterization and physics-based model
Habilitation Presented To Obtain The Authorization 
To Direct Research From Sorbonne University
Lionel Trojman, PhD
Sorbonne Université, 2020
Organization of the thesis
Chapter 1: This chapter extends research work after the author’s PhD study. It focuses on HfO2-based dielectric MOSFETs with sub-1nm EOT. The study explores the impact of transport factors like saturation velocity on planar MOSFETs and the mobility of FDSOI-UTBB MOSFETs. Notably, the back-biased effect is considered, and an inversion charge model is developed for different front and back biases.
Chapter 2: Emphasis the application of the statistical defect-centric model to assess the impact of channel hot carriers on the reliability of low-dimensional MOSFETs.
Chapter 3: This chapter shifts focus to GaN-on-Si wafer devices for power electronic applications. These devices integrate MOS-like structures into III-V material-based devices, specifically MOS-HEMT and GET-SBD.
Chapter 4: Investigates RERAM devices. It stems from cooperative research with UNICAL and a PhD program in collaboration with Aix-Marseille University
