CMOS Variability Research in Europe: from Atomic Scale to Circuits and Systems
Covering a broad range of technology, devices and design aspects of CMOS variability from atomic scale to circuit and system level, this workshop presents current, state of the art, CMOS variability research from 3 European and 2 UK projects including NANOSIL, PULLNANO, REALITY, NanoCMOS and NanoMAT.
The Device Modelling Group receives a major EU funding boost
The European Commission has provided £750,000 funding to the Device Modelling Group at Glasgow University in relation to three projects - DUALLOGIC, NANOSIL and REALITY - which can potentially revolutionise the electronics industry. The funding comes from the first call of proposals in the Seventh Framework Program (FP7) for collaborative European research in the area of Information and Communication Technologies. The funding will support research aimed at creating a new generation of faster and bigger electronic chips that power all consumer electronics products.
This funding is really important for the UK electronics industry which suffers from a relatively low level of investment in semiconductor device and technology research in the UK. The European Commission recognises that University of Glasgow researchers are world-leaders in the area of nanoCMOS device modelling, and novel device technology and design.
The results of the projects will be particularly important for the vibrant and innovative UK design industry, which increasingly needs wider access to this kind of technology and device knowledge in order to remain competitive in an international market.
