FW: NSAC/NCN Seminar on March 1, 2012 at 3:30-4:30 PM

24 Feb '12

NSAC/NCN Seminar Series 2012 Topic: Non-planar 3D III-V MOSFETs for high-speed low-power logic applications Abstract: In this talk, we review recent developments on non-planar 3D III-V MOSFETs for high-speed low-power logic applications. In the 2011 ITRS roadmap, III-V MOSFETs have been considered promising candidate for Si CMOS at beyond 14nm technology node, due to its high mobility and saturation velocity. Targeting the 14nm channel length, we demonstrated non-planar 3D III-V transistors, including InGaAs FinFETs, HFinFET, and gate-all-around nanowire MOSFETs by top-down approach, to address the increasing demand for electrostatic control. Fabrication and characterization of the 3D III-V MOSFETs are summarized in this talk. Speaker: Jiangjiang Gu, PhD candidate(Prof. Peter Ye Group) in ECE, Purdue University Date/time: Thursday, March 1, 2012 3:30 PM- 4:30 PM at Birck 1001 Refreshment will served.

FW: 2012 Device Research Conference (DRC), Call for Papers
by Turner, Jaime J 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

70th DEVICE RESEARCH CONFERENCE June 18 – 20, 2012 • Penn State University • University Park • Call for Papers • www.deviceresearchconference.org<http://www.deviceresearchconference.org/> On behalf of the technical program committee, we would like to remind you of the upcoming March 7, 2012 abstract submission deadline for the 70th Device Research Conference, which will be held at the Penn State University from June 18 to 20, 2012. Two page abstracts will be accepted by online submission at the conference web site www.deviceresearchconference.org<http://www.deviceresearchconference.org/>. The Device Research Conference Technical Digest is published by IEEE and is made available online through IEEE Xplore. For the last seven decades, the Device Research Conference has brought together leading scientists, researchers, and graduate students from varied disciplines in academia and industry to share their latest research and discoveries in the field. The university setting of the conference encourages open technical discussion on recent breakthroughs and advances in device research, and provides a great atmosphere for social events. The technical program consists of invited, oral, and poster presentations. In addition, the conference will hold two evening rump sessions aimed at engaging the audience in vigorous discussions on important challenges and questions facing the device research community. The Device Research Conference has a tradition of strong graduate student participation. This is recognized by offering student travel support and a Best Student Paper Award. This year the Device Research Conference program will also feature a short course on Steep Switching Slope Devices. This full day tutorial will be offered on Sunday, June 17, 2012. Additional information on the short course will be posted in the near future online at www.deviceresearchconference.org<http://www.deviceresearchconference.org/>. The Device Research Conference is coordinated with the Electronic Materials Conference to be held during the same week from June 20 to 22, 2012. This recognizes the strong interaction between device and electronic materials research and provides for fruitful exchange of information between attendees of both conferences. In the coming weeks you will find an updated list of plenary and invited speakers and special sessions that are planned at the conference web site:www.deviceresearchconference.org<http://www.deviceresearchconference.org/>. Plenary invited talks (partial list): Ian Young, Intel Corporation, Advanced CMOS: Devices and Circuits Ken Shepard, Columbia University, Bioelectronic Systems Invited talks (partial list): Ilya Krivorotov, University of California, Irvine, USA Kaushik Roy, Purdue University, USA Supriyo Bandyopadhyay, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA Hagen Klauk, Fraunhofer Institute, Germany Wolfgang Porod, Notre Dame University Jing Guo, University of Florida Sunil Bhave, Cornell University Ali Shakouri, Purdue University Zhong Lin Wang, Georgia Tech Andreas Schenck, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Switzerland Sanjay Banerjee, University of Texas, Austin, USA Yong Chen, Purdue University Andras Kis, Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland Marko Radosavljevic, Intel Corporation Thomas Ernst, CEA LETI For inquiries about the conference, please contact Suman Datta<mailto:sdatta@engr.psu.edu> or Miguel Urteaga<mailto:murteaga@teledyne-si.com>. We hope to see you at Penn State this summer. Regards, Miguel Urteaga, Conference General Chair Suman Datta, Technical Program Chair Ioannis Kymissis, Technical Program Vice Chair

-----Original Message----- From: Sambit Palit [mailto:spalit@purdue.edu] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 11:39 AM To: ncn-students(a)lists.purdue.edu Cc: bnc-all(a)ecn.purdue.edu Subject: i-Phone app for IEDM 2011 Please take a look at this apple i-Phone app for IEDM 2011 developed by one of my friends. I am sure it will be extremely helpful if you are planning on attending the conference. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iedm-2011/id478640054?ls=1&mt=8 <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iedm-2011/id478640054?ls=1&mt=8> Dear Friends / Colleagues, While attending IEDM over the years (or any big conference for that matter), selecting which papers to attend has been a drudgery. Going back and forth between the conference leaflet and the abstract booklet, and then discovering that their exists an conflict between the papers i wanted to attend and finally loosing the piece of paper with my schedule on the first day of the conference. This motivated us to create a iPhone/iPad/iPod app which will allow the participants to browse the schedule : showing them all the sessions going on at a particular time and then choose one, browse the papers by the category, find which room to go to next to attend the next paper. The app is live and freely available on the Appstore now and you can search for it by typing "IEDM" in the Appstore. Alternatively you can get it use this link : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iedm-2011/id478640054?ls=1&mt=8 <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iedm-2011/id478640054?ls=1&mt=8> App Description : This app allows you to browse through the schedule of IEDM 2011 conference, select the papers you want to attend and make your conference calendar. Browse all the papers being presented at a particular time slot or alternatively browse the papers by conference categories. You can read through the abstract of the papers and select the ones you want to attend to make your conference itinerary. This app also allows you to do a live search over the extended abstracts to quickly narrow all the papers on a particular topic (e.g. Flash Memory) or from a particular institution (e.g. Purdue University). The App for IEDM 2011 is sponsored by Applied Materials. Please have fun using the app and please let me know of your feedback at nainani(a)stanford.edu <mailto:nainani@stanford.edu>. If you like the app, please forward this email to your friends and colleagues as well. Best Regards, Aneesh
