SWOT Analysis of the Technology/Design Ecosystem", Lausanne, 30-31 May 2012

NANO-TEC Workshop 3; SWOT Analysis of Technology-Design Ecosystem: The event is part of the Coordination Action funded by the FP7 under the ICT theme, titled “ECOSYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY and DESIGN for NANOELECTRONICS” (NANO-TEC). The project started on 1 September 2010 and it aims at identifying the emerging generation of device concepts and technologies for ICT, as well as to build a joint technology-design community in order to coordinate research efforts in nanoelectronics in the European research area. 

The third workshop will tackle the topics of Solid-state quantum computing, Molecular Electronics, Nanowires, Spintronics, Graphene, MEMS and Neuromorphic Computing; finally, a panel discussion on the bridge in design from technology to application will close the event. All this will lead to the preparation of the fourth and final NANO-TEC workshop, to take place in Autumn 2012, which will provide a set of recommendations on the most promising devices and technologies identified and for future technology-design integration. In preparation for the workshop you can now join the forum available online at the following link:

BSIMCMG is now the CMC industry standard FinFET SPICE model.

BSIMCMG is now the first industry standard FinFET SPICE model. It is available for download and use at the BSIM website. The voting took place in Jan'12 and the model was approved a standard at the March 1Q12 Osaka CMC Meeting. The CMC is yet to update their website.

FDSOI Workshop presentations available online

CEA-Leti, SOI Industry Consortium and Soitec want to make you aware that the presentations are now posted on the SOI Industry Consortium website:

NDES 2012 July 11 – 13, 2012, Wolfenbüttel, Germany

The conference aims at stimulating and enabling scientists from all over the world to exchange know-ledge and ideas in the field of nonlinear dynamics and its applications in a friendly atmosphere. Nonlinear phenomena are observed in diverse areas such as physics, biology, economics, electronics and computer science. The conference will cover cutting-edge research in these highly active fields and explore new perspectives of nonlinear dynamics in interdisciplinary applications. The scope of interest includes, but it is not limited to:

• Theory, analysis, modelling, implementations and applications of nonlinear circuits and systems in science, technology and biology
• Nonlinear network analysis
• Neural networks, neurodynamics, robots 
• Nonlinear signal processing: Time-series analysis, communication, coding
• Nonlinear devices: Sensors, lasers
• Bifurcation and chaos, control and synchronisation
• Geodynamics
