Circuit Simulation
and Process Simulation and
Modeling Workshops
Final Call for Participation
Tuesday, November 6
MCNC will conduct concurrent workshops covering the areas of circuit
simulation and verification and the modeling and simulation of silicon
processes. The purpose of these workshops is to draw together people
who are model developers, users, programmers, and designers, as well
as people who are doing measurement and characterization.
The task of developing usable simulation tools is enormous! Success
requires an interdisciplinary effort. The MCNC research program in modeling and
simulation is based on this concept and includes research in numerical
techniques, models, measurements, and software. The simulation tools CAzM
and PREDICT have been developed in an environment of aggressive VLSI/ULSI
design and fabrication.
It is hoped that the MCNC workshops will help broaden the involvement of
workers nationally who have similar goals and interests - - for the good of all
concerned.
Invited speakers will present information on research activities in
simulation at key laboratories around the world. Panel discussions
will be held to address priorities and issues in simulation. Finally, new
results on models and simulation tools will be presented in afternoon
sessions.
