Presentation Information

Call for Papers

The 2006 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop will be held June 11-12, 2006, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu, HI. As usual, this workshop is a satellite conference of the VLSI Symposium and sponsored by the IEEE Electron Device Society. This is the eleventh workshop in the annual series. Previous SNW's have been held in Honolulu and Kyoto, alternating as the VLSI Symposium moves between these sites. 
The Hilton Hawaiian Village is located near the heart of the resort area of Waikiki Beach.. It is also near shopping and tourist attractions.

Papers are sought for this year's workshop on all aspects of silicon-based nanoelectronics. Areas of interest include:

  • Si based sub-30 nm FETs with conventional and novel architecture including vertical and multiple-gate devices and novel channel materials
  • Device physics of Si based nanodevices including quantum effects, nonequilibrium and ballistic transport
  • Si based nanoscale device modelling and simulations
  • Extreme processing of Si based nanostructures, including nanopatterning
  • Junction and insulator technology for Si based nanodevices
  • Nanoscale surface, interface, and heterojunction effects in Si based devices
  • Si based device scaling issues including doping fluctuations and atomic granularity
  • Circuit design issues and novel circuit architectures for Si based nanodevices including silicon based quantum computing
  • Optoelectronics using silicon nanostructures

Chair of this year's workshop is Wolfgang Porod of the Center for Nano Science and Technology at the University of Notre Dame. The program committee is headed by Asen Asenov of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Glasgow.

Program Committee

Invited Speakers

Presentation Information

Invited speakers will have 25 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. Contributed oral papers will have 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. An overhead projector and an LCD projector will be available for the oral presentations. To use the LCD projector, the presenter may use his or her own laptop, or may bring their talk on a Windows-readable CD-ROM or Mobile USB Memory or floppy disk and use the provided Windows computer which runs Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you will be using the provided computer, we request that you load your presentation onto the computer during the break prior to your talk. For all LCD presenters, we would like to ask to bring overhead transparencies as a backup.

Poster presentations will be given 1 minute each for a VERY brief oral summary of the work, and these presentations must use overhead projector viewgraphs (and not the LCD projector) because of the tight schedule. The size of each poster panel is 60" high x 40" wide (150 cm x 100 cm). Push pins and double-sided tape will be provided.

Authors who wish to have their papers included, should in a special issue of IEEE Transaction on Nanotechnology should prepare their manuscripts according to the instructions on the Transactions website and SHOULD SUBMIT THE MANUSCRIPT BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORKSHOP.

Publication in IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology

As in previous years, Si-nano papers will appear as a Special Issue in the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology. Authors who wish to have their papers included, should prepare their manuscripts according to the instructions on the Transactions website. The publication of the manuscripts for this special issue will conform to the rules for regular papers in the IEEE T-NT. To be included in the special issue, manuscripts must be submitted via the Transactions website prior to the beginning of the workshop (authors should identify this as an Si-nano submission), and the papers will be reviewed according to the usual IEEE standards.

Further Information
Registration forms and hotel reservation forms will be provided in the Advanced Program of the 2006 VLSI Technology Symposium. Some of the accepted papers will be presented in Poster Sessions. A limited number of papers will be accepted as “Late News Papers”. The deadline of Late News Paper submission is April 15, 2006.
