MOS-AK Workshop on compact modeling will be held on Friday, 14 September 2007 in Munich, and it is organized for fifth subsequent time as an integral part of the ESSDERC/ESSCIRC conference, aims to strengthen a network and discussion forum among experts in the field, create an open platform for information exchange related to compact/Spice modeling, bring people in the compact modeling field together, as well as obtain feedback from technology developers, circuit designers, and CAD tool vendors.
The topics cover all important aspects of compact model development, implementation, deployment and standardization within the main theme - compact models for mainstream CMOS/SOI circuit simulation. The specific workshop goal will be to classify the most important directions for the future development of the compact models and to clearly identify areas that need further research.
This workshop is designed for device process engineers (CMOS, SOI, BiCMOS, SiGe) who are interested in device modeling; ICs designers (RF/IF/Analog/Mixed-Signal/SoC) and those starting in that area as well as device characterization, modeling and parameter extraction engineers. The content will be beneficial for anyone who needs to learn what is really behind IC simulation in modern device models. The technical program of MOS-AK Workshop consists of one day of tutorials given by noted academic and industry experts, also a posters session is foreseen.

CMOS at 60GHz
It is not Compact Modelling, but it is interesting enough. It seems that toshiba has developed a CMOS (yes, CMOS) technology able to run at 60GHz... See yourself the press release here.

Spintronics
Some news in the papers. It seems that someone has succeeded in controlling spin properties inside a semiconductor... You can get more info following the link.

New simulator with HiSIM
Simucad has announced (see the press note) the release of a new version of their simulator supporting HiSIM. Well, that's another point for HiSIM, and another drawback for PSP.

WCM'07
The 2007 Workshop on Compact Modeling (WCM) will take place in Santa Clara (Silicon Valley, California) from May 20 to 24 2007.
WCM'07 is part of the NSTI Nanotech 2007 Conference, and is held in association with the Tenth International Conference on Modeling and Simulation of Microsystems (MSM 2007).
WCM is the main symposium devoted to the field of compact modeling of semiconductor devices. The WCM Workshop was created in 2002, thanks, especially, to Professor Xing Zhou, from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), who has always been the WCM Chair.
The technical program of WCM is especially interesting this year. Some of the invited speakers are really big authorities in the field of semiconductor device modelling: Jerry Fossum, Chenming Hu, Narain Arora, Mark Lundstrom, Jamal Deen, Tor Fjeldly, Yuan Taur, Colin McAndrew, Mitiko Miura-Mattausch, Dirk Klaassen,...
There will be sessions devoted to different types of devices. Multiple Gate MOSFET modeling is certainly a very hot topic: there will be two sessions adressing these devices, and another session will also include papers on single and double gate SOI MOSFETs.
Among the papers to be presented regarding the modeling of Multiple Gate MOSFET modeling, we can highlight the presentation of a PSP-based scalable model for FinFETs, a work made by the PSP team.
On the other hand, WCM will include one interesting session focusing on statistical/process-based models.
I truly recommend all compact modeling developers to attend WCM'07. It is the workshop where the new ideas on compact modeling are first presented.

Spintronics
Have you ever wondered what is that thing people call 'spintronics'? If so, here you have the link to a very good review on that, beginning at the basis. It has been published at this month's issue of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (as an Invited Paper), an it has been written by Michael E. Flatté, from the University of Iowa. I strongly recommend having a look at it. This way, at least, you will be able to answer some more questions when playing trivial pursuit....

Another Blog
Here you have a list of other blogs. It is interesting to have a look at them, because there is interesting info there, though not all of them are updated often.
