February   2017

Congratulations to Talib

He won a gold medal from Iraqi regional cultural attaché.

The Iraqi regional cultural attaché in London had a meeting and celebration with students studying in the United Kingdom and Ireland on 24-01-17. The meeting was with the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research (Iraq), accompanied by Minister of Oil and the Ambassador of the Republic of Iraq, and the Counsellor Attaché. During the ceremony, some postgraduate students who have at least eight publications during the period of their studies were recognised and received an award. Iraqi student societies who had various achievements were also honoured. The total number of Iraqi student in the UK and Ireland is 2495. About 30 of them study at the University of Glasgow. The number of students who attended that meeting was about 70, and 12 of them received an award. Three of them are studying at the University of Glasgow, School of Engineering.

Cover story in a special issue on "Variation aware technology and circuit co-design" of IEEE T-ED

Our pictures are highlighted in the front cover of Special Issue on "Variation Aware Technology and Circuit Co-Design" in IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol. 62 No. 6. in June 2015 [1]. The pictures highlight the interplay between global long-range process-induced variability and local short-range statistical variability in 14 nm FinFET technology and it leads to the deviation of Pelgrom's area dependence of mismatch reported in [2]. The complicated variability issue requires design-technology co-optimisation (DTCO). The novel DTCO practices are carried out and reported in [1].

Device Variability And Its Impact on Circuits and Electronic Systems.

Timetable, location and registration now available.

Two Day Course on Device Variability at the University of Glasgow, 19-20th November 2012

Device Variability And Its Impact on Circuits and Electronic Systems.

The course is organized by StatDes (Statistical Design and Verification of Analogue Systems) knowledge transfer project in collaboration with IBM, Wolfson Micro Electronics, Gold Standard Simulations, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow. It will cover the fundamental physics of variability in modern day transistors of different architectures and their impact on digital and analogue systems. Moreover, the adverse effects of such fluctuations in SRAM circuits will also be covered in the course. Detail will be announced shortly.

Device Modelling at VARI 2012

The 3rd European Workshop on CMOS Variability, VARI 2012, is taking place in Nice from the 11-12 June 2012, and the Device Modelling Group is contributing 4th papers.

Professor Asen Asenov opens the conference with a keynote presentation entitled "Device-Circuit Interplay in the Simulation of Statistical CMOS Variability". This is followed on the first day by papers from Yunxiang Yang (a collaboration between Peking University, Device Modelling and Gold Standard Simulations) on 22nm UTBB SOI variablity and Jie Ding's paper "Statistical Compact Model Extraction in the Presence of BTI Degradation". On the second day of the conference Plamen Asenov will present a further paper on statistical compact model extraction.

SOI FinFets posied to meet variability requirements of 11nm CMOS
