Scope:

The 12^th III-V Semiconductor Device Simulation Workshop will be held at the Gerhard Mercator University in Duisburg on October 10 - 11, and will firstly be combined with a workshop on the fabrication and characterization of Heterostructure Bipolar Transistors (HBT) , October 9 - 10. This combination will offer a suitable forum for discussions and an exchange of results between experts in the field of simulation and those of HBT technology.

The device simulation workshop has a long tradition with meetings previously held in Lille (1983, 1991, 1999), Leeds (1985,1993), Duisburg (1986, 1994), Leuven (1988), Torino (1989, 1997), and Eindhoven (1996).

Topics:

Topics of interest with special emphasis on III/V devices, without excluding others:

• simulation and modelling of III/V devices (HEMT, MESFET, HBT, resonant tunneling devices, quantum devices etc.)
• special physics related phenomena like impact ionization, tunneling, hot electron effects
• power devices and influence of temperature effects (self-heating etc.)
• nanostructure devices
• monte carlo models and quantum transport
• non-stationary and hydrodynamic simulation
• rf-noise, 1/f-noise
• circuit design oriented models
• influence of device technology and structures
• process simulation
• numerical methods and algorithms

• characterization and measurement
• parameter extraction and deembedding procedures (e.g. influence of parasitics)
• simulation and circuit models of HBT
• link between HBT simulation and process technology
• epitaxy, design, device technology etc.
• HBT circuit design and circuit architecture
• power devices
• mixed signal aspects

Abstracts:

Contributions for both informal workshops will consist of oral presentations. A one page abstract and copies of the presented transparencies will be requested for distribution among the participants prior to the beginning of the meeting.

travel by car:
The Solid-State Electronics Department (HLT) at the ZHO (Zentrum fuer Halbleitertechnik und Optoelektronik) can be reached by car via various highways: A3 from the South, A40 from the Netherlands and the East, A2/A3 from the North.
Exit: Duisburg-Kaiserberg or Duisburg-Wedau (see map).
 
travel by train:
The main station (Hauptbahnhof (Hbf)) is 25 min (walk) away from the Solid-State Electronics Department (HLT) and the ZHO (see map). Take the bus 933, 936 or 924 to "Universität/Städtische Kliniken" and leave it at "Universität (Uni-Nord)" or take the tram 901 to "Mülheim" and leave it at "Zoo/Universität".
 
travel by plane:
After landing at Düsseldorf Airport (the next airport to Duisburg) take the city-train (S-Bahn) S1 from Düsseldorf to Duisburg main station (Hauptbahnhof (Hbf)). For further informations see: "Travel by train"
