[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.

[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 
    free/libre and open-source software which allows the user to design steel structures using a graphical user interface. The GUI also provides 3D visualization of the designed component and images
  • DWSIM 
    free/libre and open source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator. Helps understand the behavior of Chemical Systems by using rigorous thermodynamic and unit operations models.
  • OpenFOAM 
    free/libre and open source CFD toolbox useful to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
  • OpenModelica 
    free/libre and open source environment based on the Modelica modelling language for modelling, simulating, optimising and analysing complex dynamic systems.
  • OpenPLC 
    free/libre and open source Programmable Logic Controller creating opportunities for people to study its concepts, explore new technologies and share the resources.
  • FLOSS-Arduino
    control of Arduino using Free/Libre Open-Source Software. The interface helps the user to perform embedded systems experiments on the Arduino Uno board.
  • SBHS
    (Single Board Heater System) is a lab-in-a-box setup useful for teaching and learning control systems.
  • R 
    programing language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
  • QGIS
    (Quantum GIS) is a free and open-source desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) application.
  • FOCAL 
    an initiative by FOSSEE to promote Open Source Software in computer graphics.
  • SOUL
    (Science OpensoUrce Software for Teaching Learning) is a collection of ICT software that can be used as teaching/learning tools by the community of educators and the learners to teach/ learn the basic as well as the advanced concepts in science subjects

[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

FIG: Description of the gate structure (half device) of the studied device including the parasitic capacitance inner fringing (CIF), outer fringe (COF) and Junction overlap capacitance (COV)
