IPL group releases PDK standard

What's next? Under this framework, OpenPDK will base its PDK technology on the OpenAcess database. It will also use several of the components developed by IPL: OA schematic symbols, component description format (CDF) and callbacks. For its part, Si2 will attempt to get the industry to develop standards around several other components: Spice models, tech files and DRC/LVS/LPE. [more]

Design, Test, Integration & Packaging of MEMS/MOEMS

DTIP 2010, 5-7 May 2010 , Seville, Spain
DTIP 2010 will be a follow-up to the very successful issues held in 1999 and 2000 in Paris and in 2001, 2002 and 2003 in Mandelieu-La Napoule, in 2004 and 2005 in Montreux, Switzerland in 2006, in 2007 in Stresa, Italy, in 2008 in Nice, France and in 2009 in Rome, Italy. This series of Symposia is a unique single-meeting event expressly planned to bring together participants interested in manufacturing microstructures and participants interested in design tools to facilitate the conception of these microstructures. Again, a special emphasis will be put on the very crucial needs of MEMS/MOEMS in terms of packaging solutions. The goal of the Symposium is to provide a forum for in-depth investigations and interdisciplinary discussions involving design, modeling, testing, micromachining, microfabrication, integration and packaging of structures, devices, and systems. The Symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology Society and CMP.

About Tarragona:
Tarragona is located in the south of Catalonia, in the northeast corner of the Iberian Peninsula. Tarraco (the Roman name for Tarragona) was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. On 30 November 2000, the UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tarraco a World Heritage Site. This recognition is intended to help ensure the conservation of the monuments, as well as to introduce them to the broader international public.
