CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

IEEE P62659™, Standard for Nanomanufacturing — Large Scale Manufacturing for Nanoelectronics, Working Group Kick-Off Meeting

IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) invites you to participate in the Working Group for IEEE P62659™, Standard for Nanomanufacturing – Large Scale Manufacturing for Nanoelectronics. This is a jointly developed revision with IEC.

This International Standard provides a framework for introducing nanoelectronics into large-scale, high-volume production in semiconductor manufacturing facilities through the incorporation of nanomaterials (e.g. carbon nanotubes, graphene, quantum dots, etc.). Since semiconductor manufacturing facilities need to incorporate practices that maintain high yields, there are very strict requirements for how manufacturing is performed. Nanomaterials represent a potential contaminant in semiconductor manufacturing facilities and need to be introduced in a structured and methodical way. This International Standard provides steps employed to facilitate the introduction of nanomaterials into the semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This sequence is described under the areas of raw materials acquisition, materials processing, design, integrated circuits (IC) fabrication, testing, and end-use. These activities represent the major stages of the supply chain in semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

WHY GET INVOLVED

This is a jointly developed revision with IEC. This Standard guides the integration of nanoelectronics into semiconductor manufacturing, ensuring the effective use of nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes. It enhances performance and cost-efficiency in cutting-edge electronics production. As Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) nanomaterial research grows, industry adaptation becomes crucial for exploiting benefits. Adherence to this Standard is essential for seamless integration, capitalizing on nanomaterial advantages, and keeping pace with VLSI progress. The NTC/SC and IEC/TC113 have determined that no significant revisions to the document need to be performed. However, this working group will review the existing Standard and identify editorial and technical changes and, if appropriate, additions required to upgrade it to ensure that it reflects current technologies and applications.

IEEE P3151 – SURFACE ANTIMICROBIAL COATINGS WORKING GROUP (SACWG)

Standards Committee: EMB Standards Committee, Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (Primary sponsor)

Standards Committee Chair: Carole C. Carey c.carey@ieee.org

TITLE: Standard for Spray-On Surface Antimicrobial Coatings Test Methodology

Scope: This standard specifies an objective performance test methodology to assess the efficacy of non-porous surface antimicrobial coatings against different organism groups (e.g., bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and molds) present within hospital and healthcare environments. The standard is applicable to all types of environmental surface antimicrobial coatings that are designed to be sprayed onto and coat the surface to provide continual antimicrobial activity for a specified period of time. This standard excludes antimicrobial coatings (such as, antimicrobial plastics, polymers, silicone, paints, etc.) incorporated during the manufacturing process and non-environmental antimicrobial coatings specifically intended for medical devices.

IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) invites you to participate in the Working Group for IEEE P3155™, Standard for Programmable Quantum Simulator.

The quantum simulator (i.e., one controllable quantum system simulates another) has a quantum advantage over classical supercomputers that fail by exponential explosion (i.e., number of parameters grows exponentially with the quantum system size). This standard defines programming methods of quantum simulators according to analog (i.e., target Hamiltonian), digital (i.e., non-native Hamiltonian evolution) and hybrid (i.e., quantum-quantum or quantum-classical architectures) devices for the simulation of quantum phenomena beyond classical computing applications. It includes algorithms to represent the nano-scale properties of quantum simulation devices, and excludes any proposal for the architecture of quantum simulators.

Meeting registration is required.
