Topic: Atomistic TCAD Simulations
Speaker: Philippe Blaise, Atomistic Senior Application Engineer, TCAD Division, Silvaco, Inc.
Time: 8:00 PDT, 17:00 CEST, 00:00 JST
Register below to receive meeting link.
Abstract:
For designing the most advanced technological nodes, quantum effects become hard to approximate. This leads to the failure of using conventional TCAD tools that are essentially based on empirical laws. Therefore, engineers need new simulation tools at the 5 nm node and below that combine a more fundamental formalism with affordable performances and ease of use. During this webinar, we will briefly describe what is behind the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism with simplified arguments. We will show how simulating nano-devices becomes easy, even without full academic knowledge of the NEGF theory. The quantum complexity is hidden inside the simulation tool “VictoryAtomistic” which benefits from years of development at the highest level. We will show two test cases: a silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (NWFET) and a 2D-TMD Tunneling FET (TFET) made of a layer of MoS2. Thanks to a combination of state-of-the-art band structure calculations with the NEGF, predictive, versatile, and fast simulations of these devices become accessible with an environment that provides a smooth transition for TCAD users.
Biography:
Dr. Philippe Blaise has been a senior application engineer in atomistic simulation at Silvaco’s TCAD Division for four years.

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits
Special Topic on Steep Slope Transistors for Energy-Efficient Computing & More
Guest Editor: Alan Seabaugh, University of Notre Dame, seabaugh.1@nd.edu
Editor-in-Chief: Azad Naeemi, Georgia Institute of Technology, azad@gatech.edu
Aims and Scope:
Tunnel field-effect transistors (FETs) and low-subthreshold-swing steep-slope (SS) transistors hold promise to outperform complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology (CMOS) at low voltage and realize more energy-efficient logic for computation. The aim of this special topics issue is to highlight experimental advances and ideas that make SS transistors attractive for integration with CMOS to realize better power-performance logic. Aspirational characteristics for n- and p-type steep transistors can be summarized as follows: drain currents exceeding 200 μA/μm at a supply voltage below 0.4 V, with SS less than 60 mV/decade beginning near 1 μA/μm and spanning more than 4 decades. Papers describing theory and modeling of transistors which can meet and surpass these goals are of interest, as are papers which assess the full design stack from devices to circuits and architecture to applications to identify system bottlenecks and inform technology development for computing, communications, or other applications. Materials approaches are not restricted to silicon CMOS and can be based on any semiconductor technology and incorporate multiferroic or other performance boosters. New approaches based on three-dimensional integration, heterogeneous integration, processing, or insights from manufacturing are also within the scope of this issue to advance understanding and progress in SS transistors.
Topics of Interest:
- TFET and other steep slope transistors with path to outperform CMOS at low voltage
- Experimental progress
- Theory and modeling
- Si, III-V, III-N, two-dimensional semiconductors and heterojunctions
- Multiferroic and other material/device design approaches
- 3-D integration, heterogeneous integration, processing, manufacturing
- Full-stack design to inform technology development

Nanocomputing is a term that is coined for the representation and manipulation of data by computers in the nanometer dimension; nanocomputing must rely on an in-dept investigation of nanotechnology for computing (NfC). All difficulties pertaining to computing at the nanoscale are also present when addressing NfC. At all levels, these considerations have led to completely new technological computational paradigms such as approximate, stochastic, probabilistic, neuromorphic, molecular, spintronic and bio-inspired. Over the last few years, NfC has started to play a significant role in the IEEE NTC (Nanotechnology Council) and a new NTC technical committee has been formed. The NTC is best positioned to take advantage of the technical diversity of the Council and its member societies. We have identified two types of new activities:
2022 Activity, The Advanced Research Meeting (ARM): in this event held in 2022 (October 21-22) in Heraklion (Greece), we have convened 23 experts from 13 countries. The technical program consisted of 5 sessions; moreover 5 panels (as round tables among all participants) were also held; session topics were nanodevices, nano computational schemes and circuits, nanoscale computing systems, emerging application techniques at nanoscales and nano neural networks. As a follow up to ARM, the following activities are currently being pursued:
- A compendium of the finding of the panels is being written for dissemination as an article in the IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine
- A Special Issue of IEEE TNANO has been distributed to all invited participants with the objective to have few review articles to cover past and current research as well as future directions of different topics of interest to NfC
2023 Workshop on NfC (WNfC): The two flagship technical meetings sponsored yearly by the NTC (NANO and NMDC) are organized by sessions (special and regular) with the involvement of the NTC Technical Committees. NANO and NMDC are single events with multiple parallel sessions. This arrangement has worked reasonably well over the years; however, technical conferences in the post COVID era must capture not only width but also depth. This is extremely important in nanotechnology, because the audience may be drawn from the physical sciences as well as engineering; hence such in-person yearly meetings must have a flexible organization to allow concurrent events (in this case a workshop) to be held. The WNfC will have its proceedings included as part of the host conference, i.e., NANO 2023 (Korea).
Therefore, the focus of this workshop is to highlight the most recent research developments on innovative technologies for the design and implementation of novel nanocomputing paradigms. It will provide a unique forum for the discussion of the latest research achievements in the multifaceted scientific field of nanocomputing, that may contribute to the future development of circuits, sensors and processors with improved performance compared to the current state-of-the-art. With the aim to enrich the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology 2023 (IEEE NANO 2023) program with a comprehensive overview of the latest technological achievements in this multidisciplinary research field, the proposed nanocomputing-centered scientific forum will host contributions from outstanding international experimentalists, engineers and designers, providing a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, share knowledge, identify open issues, and propose future research directions across a wide number of different areas, from material engineering, to device physics, from circuit and systems, to circuit design and architecture.

Deadline May 1, 2023 Extended: June 1, 2023
Call for proposals: The IEEE Nanotechnology Council is requesting proposals for 2023 Summer School which should be organized along some of the themes typically covered in the call for abstracts of the yearly IEEE NANO meeting, the flagship IEEE Nanotechnology Conference. These include a wide range of nanoscience and nanotechnology topics, encompassing nanorobotics; quantum, neuromorphic, and unconventional computing; nanobiomedicine; nanosensors and nanoactuators; nano-optics/photonics/optoelectronics; nanoelectronics; spintronics; plasmonics; nanomagnetics; nano-acoustics; nanoenergy; nanoscale communications; modeling, simulation, and characterization of nanostructures and devices; nanofabrication, nanopackaging, and nanomanufacturing; nanomaterials; and other emerging nanotechnologies.
The IEEE Summer School on Nanotechnology should be geared towards senior undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and researchers and practitioners who could deepen and broaden their skills in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Based on the success of the previous Summer Schools, it is expected that the attendance at the school should be around 50 to 100 participants. The main objective is to stimulate future generations to stay abreast of these rapidly evolving fields and to foster participation in the adventure of research that will lead to the next generation of nanopioneers.
Dates and Length: The IEEE Summer School on Nanotechnology will be held in the Fall of 2023. The length of each summer school has typically been a minimum of 3 days to 1 week. Although we have retained the name “summer school”, the date of the school is not restricted to the summer season.
Format: A successful summer school will consist of lectures, seminars, discussions, and visits to local academic and industrial organizations. Lectures will be given by international scholars working in the areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology and focusing on a central theme among the typical topics covered during the IEEE Nano flagship conference.
Funding: The IEEE Nanotechnology Technical Council is able to provide up to $5K of funding for the summer school, to be used for such expenses to support the school. Local organizers need to provide partial support as well, and the participants (or their labs or supervisors) may need to pay registration (tuition) fees to compensate for inviting lecturers.
Benefits to Participants: In addition to acquiring an organized view of an important area of nanotechnology, the summer school participants will be able to interact with peer researchers and international scholars (especially young scientists) to discuss hot topics and ongoing research, and also to experience local industry and culture.
You are encouraged to submit a proposal to hold a 2023 IEEE Summer School on Nanotechnology. If the proposal is approved, the IEEE Nanotechnology Council will provide upon request a financial contribution to support the initiative. The co-funded amount depends on the available budget, the number of financed proposals, and the soundness of the school budget, but will not exceed $5,000. We recall that organizers can take advantage of other initiatives, e.g., the IEEE Nano Distinguished Lecture Program to further support the school (related regulations apply).
The IEEE Summer School Subcommittee will review the received proposals based on
1. The quality of the proposed technical program and topic balance
2. The soundness of the budget
3. The length of the school
4. The geographical balance of all funded summer schools (for future schools).

1. Aim and theme.
2. Lectures and lecturers. Indicate if lecturers have agreed to participate.
3. Tentative program and schedule.
4. Local organizer(s). Brief bios of the School director and leadership.
5. Registration. Tuition.
6. Budget and financial sponsor(s). Expected number of participants.
Important Dates:
- Eligible period: September to December, 2023
- Deadline for submitting the proposal:
1 May 20231 June 2023 - Notification of the outcome of the review process:
1 June 20231 July 2023
