2002 International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL)
The 23rd International Conference on Microelectronics
(MIEL 2002) will be held May 12-15, 2002 at the Faculty of Electronic
Engineering, University of Nis, Yugoslavia. The MIEL 2002 Conference
will be organized by the ED/SSC Yugoslavia Chapter, in cooperation
with the Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Nis,
IEEE Yugoslavia Section, and Ei-Holding Co.-Nis, under the co-sponsorship
of the IEEE EDS, with the cooperation of IEEE SSCS, and under
the auspices of Serbian Ministry of Science, Technology and Development,
Yugoslav Secretariat of Development and Science, Yugoslav Academy
of Engineering, Yugoslav Society for ETRAN, and City Assembly
of Nis. MIEL is an outstanding European conference
providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion
of the recent developments and future trends in the field of microelectronics.
Since 1984, there is an aura of internationalization around the
MIEL conferences, providing an opportunity for specialists from
both academic and industrial environments from the West and East,
as well as from the countries of the Third World, to meet in an
informal and friendly atmosphere and exchange experiences in the
theory and practice of microelectronics. From 1995, MIEL has been
organized under the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE EDS, while
the conference received IEEE EDS financial co-sponsorship for
the first time in 2000. The topics that will be covered by the technical
programme of the MIEL 2002 Conference include all important aspects
of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, ranging from
materials and processes, technologies and devices, device physics
and modeling, process and device simulation, circuit design and
testing, system design and packaging, and characterization and
reliability. The technical programme of the MIEL 2002 Conference
will consist of 140 contributed papers by the authors from more
than 30 countries all around the world, which will be structured
into oral and poster sessions. These papers, together with 12
invited papers, which are to be presented by the world leading
authorities from the field of microelectronics, will form the
solid foundation of the Conference MIEL 2002. Two related scientific
events, namely the workshops “Power Devices and ICs”
and “Microsystem Technologies”, containing 6 invited
papers each, will round off the technical programme of the Conference.
The invited lectures are: “Process-Related

(R. Plana, LAAS-CNRS, France), “Integrated Hall Magnetic
Sensors” (R. Popovic, EPFL, Switzerland), “Is Innovation
and Competition Crucial in the Power Semiconductor Industry?”
(E.M. Shankar, De Montfort University Leicester, United Kingdom),
“Semiconductor Technologies for Powering Microchips in the
Information Age: From Source to Load” (K. Shenai, University
of Illinois at Chicago, USA), “Technology Options for Developing
Manufacturable Nanoelectronics” (R. Singh, Clemson University,
USA), “Thermal Instabilities in High Current Power MOS Devices”,
(P. Spirito, University of Naples, Italy), “Biologically
Inspired Optical Vision Sensors” (J. Van der Spiegel, University
of Pennsylvania, USA), “Reliability of Microsystems from
the Materials Point of View” (J. Villain, University of Applied
Sciences Augsburg, Germany), “Recent Developments in Silicon
Optoelectronic Devices” (H. Wong, City University of Hong
Kong), and “Beyond the Conventional MOSFET” (P. Wong,
IBM, USA). The city of Nis is the administrative, cultural
and economic center of southeastern Serbia. Among many and various
industries located in Nis, it is the electronic industry that
is to take credit for its occasionally used nickname “City
of Electronics”. It is no wonder when the largest company
in Nis is the Ei-Holding Company founded in 1948, which is the
leading Yugoslav manufacturer of a wide range of electronic products.
Situated in the Nisava Valley, some 240 kilometers away from Belgrade,
Nis is one of the busiest road and railway junctions in this part
of Europe. Good road and railway connections put Nis within easy
striking distance from Belgrade. Rich in ancient monuments that
bear witness of turbulent periods of its history, Nis is now a
burgeoning seat of learning. University of Nis, although relatively
young, has come to be called “my alma mater” by many
of the highly skilled professionals. Faculty of Electronic Engineering,
one of the organizers of the Conference MIEL 2002, has constantly
been giving a significant contribution to the development of the
University of Nis, as one of its most prosperous institutions. For registration and other information, visit
