The 4th APM of Nano-Tera, with presentations of RTD projects by all the principle investigators.

The poster list is now available.

The European VCSEL Day 2013 will be hosted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne on May 31 and June 01, 2013. As in previous years, the workshop will provide an informal forum for discussing the most recent results and achievements in the field of VCSELs.

This event should be a very enjoyable time for us to share new and exciting ideas, build, renew, and start new collaborations, and to learn about current and future state-of-the art VCSEL research in Europe.

Eli Kapon of MIXSEL is on the Organization Committee.

8th Annual IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems

IEEE-NEMS is a series of successful conferences that began in Zhuhai, China in 2006, and that has been a premier IEEE annual conference series held in Asia which focuses on MEMS, nanotechnology, and molecular technology. In order to further evolution, and bring together scientists and engineers from a variety of background, the IEEE-NEMS Conference provides an excellent opportunity to bring together scientists and engineers from academia, research centers, national research institutes and companies to present and discuss the latest results in these fields.

The 8th Annual IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems (IEEE-NEMS 2013) will be held in Suzhou, China, during April 7-10, 2013. We invite worldwide researchers in micro-nano-bio fields to submit their contributions.

Haixia (Alice) Zhang of SICnanomembranes is the General Chair.

TeraHertz (THz), the frequencies between electronics and optics, was until recently the last unexploited part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The harnessing of THz-based technologies has the potential of impacting globally a vast number of industries, like both electronics in the 70’s and optics in the 80’s did.

THz applications span over a wide array of fields, including:

• Quality Control and Non-destructive testing
• Surface analysis
• Security
• Chemical and Bio-Medical analysis
• Telecommunications

The Swiss NanoConvention is the prime showcase for nanotechnology in Switzerland, jointly organized by the «who-is-who» in the Swiss nano scene. It is the venue for meeting the great minds in nanoscience and -technology.

The detailed program is ready, the speakers list is available and registration is open.

Harry Heinzelmann of PATLiSci, Adrian Ionescu of CabTuRes, Tobias Kippenberg of microComb, Olivier Martin of Plasmonics and Demtri Psaltis of 3DOptoChemiImage are invited speakers.

This workshop intends to bring together leading academic researchers with IC and CAD industry leaders in order to pinpoint the shortcomings of the current design methodologies and CAD tools, identify new problems that may lie ahead, provide a vision of the new CAD tool capabilities that are going to be required, and crystallize everything into a new paradigm for design methodologies that fully exploits the potential of new process technologies. This workshop also aspires to become the springboard for a renewed innovation surge in EDA, which is necessary for maintaining the competitive edge and the continued growth of the entire semiconductor sector.

The unique opportunity of having industrial and academic partners address this essential issue concurrently will result in new directions not only for academic research but also for design teams that are eager to maximize the benefits of their next tapeout.

The BSIM EKV public workshop will convene all the BSIM and EKV researchers as well as the experts from the industry to contribute to the workshop to give an update on the latest status of BSIM6 and EKV (and eventually other models as well) to the modeling and designer community. The event will be followed by an internal workshop reserved to the BSIM and EKV teams for discussion and preparation of a workplan for the next year.

The Materials Research Society (MRS) is an organization of materials researchers from academia, industry, and government that promotes communication for the advancement of interdisciplinary materials research to improve the quality of life.

Nico de Rooij of CabTuRes, LiveSense and PATLiSci will be taking part.

This is a unique Conference at the frontiers of both Micro- and Nano- technologies, with a special emphasis on Biological, Chemical and Medical applications. 

The format includes plenary talks from invited speakers of international renown, giving lectures on significant aspects of the scope, together with a variety of short oral presentations of original new research. 

Participants from over 15 countries encompassing Europe, America and Asia meet in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, ideal for the creative exchange of ideas and the development of new collaborative projects.

Stéphanie Pasche of TecInTex and Janos Vörös of NanoWireSensor are keynote speakers.

• How can SMEs fit as providers of tools in the new design environment? Under what conditions could their offer be meaningful and successful?
• As Embedded Systems designers, SMEs face a number of constraints - from cost to design time to strict customer requirements - that a-priori limit their design freedom. How is it possible to meet such constraints and yet propose innovation and optimization?
