Call for Proposals for Future Sites for IEEE-NANO 2026 and IEEE NMDC 2025

Tuesday, July 18th, 2023

The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) is calling for proposals for
future sites for IEEE-NANO 2026 and IEEE NMDC 2025

A. Call for proposals for future site for IEEE-NANO 2026

Initial Proposal Deadline: 1 October 2023

The IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE-NANO) is the flagship IEEE Nanotechnology conference. The conference scope covers a wide range in nanoscience and technology. In particular, it covers nanofabrication, nanomanufacturing, nanomaerials, nanobiomedicine, nanoenergy, nanoplasmonics, nanoelectronics, nanosensors and nanoactuators, characterization and modelling of nano structures and devices. NANO 2023 was held in Jeju Island, Korea. Recent conferences were in the Balearic Islands, Spain (2022), Macau (2019), Cork (2018), Pittsburgh (2017), Sendai (2016), Rome (2015), and Toronto (2014). NANO 2020 and 2021 were held virtually due to the pandemic. NANO typically runs between early- to mid-July. We are now seeking proposals for IEEE-NANO 2026 which is expected to run in IEEE Region 10 (Asia & Pacific).

Initial Proposal deadline: 1 October 2023

Early indication of an intention to submit a proposal is strongly recommended. Candidates for NANO 2026 will be expected to present a 5-10 minute “Proposal in Preparation” based on their initial proposal at the Fall NTC Conference Committee meeting, and a complete proposal at the NTC Excom and AdCom meetings in July 2024 held at IEEE-NANO 2024 in Gijon, Spain.

    2023 IEEE NTC TC10 Modeling and Simulation June Webinar

    Monday, June 5th, 2023

    Date: June 27, 2023

    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. Prior to joining Silvaco, Dr. Blaise was a senior engineer specialized in atomistic simulation of new memory devices and transistors at CEA/LETI for 15 years. He is a former member of the IEEE IEDM Modelling and Simulation Committee. He is co-author of more than 60 papers in peer-review journals in the field and 30 contributions to conferences and workshops, plus 5 patents and one book chapter. Dr. Blaise holds a Master’s degree in applied mathematics and a Ph.D. in solid states physics from the Université Grenoble Alpes, France.
