The 2nd Workshop and IEEE EDS
Mini-colloquia on NAnometer CMOS Technology (WIMNACT 2003) was
held on September 19, 2003 in Daejeon, Korea. The speakers were
composed of three EDS Distinguished Lecturers. After the welcoming
address by Kwyro Lee, EDS Chair of the Asia & Pacific subcommittee
for Regions/Chapters (SRC-AP), Professor Marcel Profirescu, from
the Technical University of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania, presented
a lecture, entitled, "Recent Developments in Deep Submicron
Devices-Theory and Experiment". J. J. Liou from the University
of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, USA, followed with a talk
entitled "ESD protection design and modeling". After
lunch at the KAIST faculty club, Professor Mitiko Miura-Mattausch
from Hiroshima University, Japan, gave the last lecture entitled,
"Circuit Simulation Models for Coming MOSFET Generations".
There were more than 50 attendees; about half of them were from
local semiconductor manufacturers such as Samsung, Hynix, and
Anam, including some from the national research institute such
as the Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute. They
showed deep interest in all of the lectures.
After the workshop, we had a tour of the IDEC (Integrated-circuit
Design Education Center in KAIST), and met with Professor In Cheol
Park, deputy-director. IDEC is our national organization arranging
foundry interface, distributing ECAD, and technical education.
Then we visited the Korean National Nano Fab Building, a 25 million
USD project sponsored by our government and industries that was
hosted by KAIST recently, and met with Professor Kye. H. Oh, Director.
Then we moved to MICROS (Micro Information and Communication Remote
Object-oriented Research Center), an Engineering Center of Excellence
supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation, and
met with my, Director.
In summary, the second WIMNACT was very successful, following
the first one in China in 2002. The audiences especially liked
the EDS mini-colloquium format, because they can listen to several
lecturers together in one place.
