The 3rd Workshop and IEEE EDS Mini-colloquia
on NAnometer CMOS Technology (WIMNACT-Singapore) was held on Oct.
15, 2003 in Singapore, organized and sponsored by the IEEE Rel/CPMT/ED
Singapore Chapter, the EDS Asia-Pacific Subcommittee of Regions/Chapters
and the EDS Distinguished Lecturer Program. The Microelectronics
Division of the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering
(EEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) hosted this one-day
event, composed of 3 DL's from Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong sent
by the EDS and 2 local DL's and one Chapter committee member.
After the welcome address by the Guest-of-Honor and Head of Microelectronics
Division, Dr. Ooi Kiang Tan, Chapter Vice Chair, Y. C. Ng, delivered
an opening address on behalf of the Chapter Chair, Dr. Soon Huat
Ong, in which he also reviewed Chapter activities in the past
years. This was followed by brief introductions of the Silicon
Technology and Computational Nano-Electronics groups in the Microelectronics
Division by the respective Program Directors, Dr. Kin Leong Pey
and Dr. Xing Zhou.
The first talk was given by Dr. Steve Chung from National Chiao
Tung University entitled, "Low Voltage/Power and High Speed
Flash Memory Technology for High Performance and Reliability,"
followed by the talk on "ESD in Sub-micron Devices: Issues
and Challenges" given by Dr. M. K. Radhakrishnan. The morning
session ended with a talk by Dr. Kin Leong Pey on "Ultra
shallow Junction Formation for Sub-100nm Technologies Using Pulsed
Excimer Laser." After lunch, at the NTU staff club with the
invited guests and Chapter committee members, Dr. Mitiko Miura-Mattausch
from Hiroshima University gave a talk on "Circuit Simulation
Models for Coming MOSFET Generations," following by a talk
on "Nano-CMOS Technology Options: From Traditional to Futuristic
Device Structures" given by Dr. Mansun Chan of Hong Kong
University of Science & Technology. The Workshop ended with
a talk by Dr. Xing Zhou on "The Missing Link to Seamless
Simulation." The Chapter presented all the speakers with
a token of appreciation. After an interactive session with the
speakers, the invited guests were given a tour of the Micro Fabrication
Lab (MFL) in the School of EEE, an SGD$25m 6" CMOS teaching/research
facility, briefed by the Program Manager, Prof Man Siu Tse. The
full-day event was ended with the dinner for the invited DLs hosted
by the Chapter.
In summary, the 3rd WIMNACT-Singapore was a very successful event.
The Workshop received an enthusiastic response with 130 pre-registrations
and more than 110 attendees, with more than half of them from
the local industries, and neighboring countries. They showed deep
interests in the invited talks and many followed up on inquiries
for the speakers' presentation slides. The complete information
