Global TCAD Solutions at the IEEE International Memory Workshop 2026

Our colleague Franz Schanovsky, Director Device Simulation at Global TCAD Solutions, is in Leuven this week for the 18th IEEE International Memory Workshop. The event brings together the global memory community, covering everything from established technologies in volume production to early-stage research on next-generation concepts.

Memory is not a new topic for us at Global TCAD Solutions. We have been supporting the memory sector for years, with TCAD models for charge-trapping flash and ferroelectric memory among our capabilities. Franz is at IMW to see where the field is heading and to explore how we can get even more involved – and, of course, to meet the people shaping the future of memory technology.

We are always keen to expand our connections in this space. If you are attending IMW 2026, feel free to reach out to Franz.

Our en­gi­neers just re­turned from VLSI-TSA in Tai­wan, and the con­sen­sus is unan­i­mous: what a fan­tas­tic event! The con­fer­ence show­cased fas­ci­nat­ing top­ics across VLSI tech­nol­o­gy and sys­tem ap­pli­ca­tions, and we had the plea­sure of con­nect­ing with many in­ter­est­ing peo­ple from across the semi­con­duc­tor com­mu­ni­ty. The tech­ni­cal dis­cus­sions were ex­cel­lent, the net­work­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties were in­valu­able, and – we must men­tion – the food was out­stand­ing! Spe­cial thanks to Har­ri­et Chiu (邱秀雲) for her in­valu­able as­sis­tance with our spon­sor­ship. Thank you to the or­ga­niz­ers and all the par­tic­i­pants for mak­ing this such a mem­o­rable ex­pe­ri­ence. We look for­ward to con­tin­u­ing the con­ver­sa­tions and col­lab­o­ra­tions that start­ed in Tai­wan.

We're de­light­ed to share that GTS sci­en­tist Dr. José María González Medina has co-au­thored a pi­o­neer­ing pa­per ti­tled "A Com­pu­ta­tion­al Mod­el­ing for Re­con­fig­urable Bio­sen­sors" with our project partners from EPFL's Bio/CMOS In­ter­faces Lab­o­ra­to­ry as part of the SENSOTERIC project.

Led by Ro­ber­ta Gras­so and Prof. San­dro Car­ra­ra, along with Dr. Gian Luca Bar­bru­ni, the team has achieved a re­mark­able achievement: com­bin­ing mo­lec­u­lar dy­nam­ics sim­u­la­tions of probe-tar­get bind­ing with TCAD sim­u­la­tions of Re­con­fig­urable Field Ef­fect Tran­sis­tors (RFETs) for bio­sens­ing ap­pli­ca­tions.

Tra­di­tion­al field-ef­fect tran­sis­tor bio­sen­sors face a fun­da­men­tal lim­i­ta­tion: fixed chan­nel dop­ing re­stricts them to de­tect­ing ei­ther pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive tar­gets. RFETs, based on dop­ing-free nanowires, over­come this con­straint by dy­nam­i­cal­ly switch­ing be­tween n- and p-type modes. The team demon­strat­ed this adapt­abil­i­ty us­ing both neg­a­tive­ly and pos­i­tive­ly charged an­a­lytes with dis­tinct recog­ni­tion el­e­ments – ap­ta­mer and en­zyme – show­cas­ing dual-po­lar­i­ty de­tec­tion through dif­fer­ent bind­ing mech­a­nisms.

This col­lab­o­ra­tion ex­em­pli­fies how phys­ics-based TCAD sim­u­la­tion can ac­cel­er­ate in­no­va­tion in emerg­ing de­vice tech­nolo­gies, bridg­ing the gap be­tween mo­lec­u­lar bi­ol­o­gy and semi­con­duc­tor de­vice physics.

Con­grat­u­la­tions to Ro­ber­ta Gras­so, San­dro Carrara, Gian Luca Barbruni, and the en­tire team at EPFL's Bio/CMOS In­ter­faces Lab­o­ra­to­ry on this ex­cel­lent work!

GTS Con­trib­utes to Cryo­gen­ic Semi­con­duc­tor Re­search at IRPS 2026

We're proud to an­nounce that GTS sci­en­tist José María González-Medina is a co-au­thor on a break­through pa­per be­ing pre­sent­ed next week at the IEEE In­ter­na­tion­al Re­li­a­bil­i­ty Phys­ics Sym­po­sium (IRPS 2026).

Bram Ver­yser from imec will pres­ent "Ter­man meth­od for thresh­old volt­age hys­tere­sis mod­el­ing with fixed in­ter­face charg­es of SiGe/Si/SiGe het­ero­struc­tures at cryo­gen­ic tem­per­a­tures" – re­search con­duct­ed in col­lab­o­ra­tion be­tween imec and KU Leu­ven as part of the EU-fund­ed ARC­TIC pro­ject (Ad­vanced Re­search on Cryo­gen­ic Tech­nol­o­gies for In­no­va­tive Com­put­ing).

At Global TCAD So­lu­tions, we're hon­ored to have con­tributed to this work by pro­vid­ing Bram with our sim­u­la­tion soft­ware to mod­el the same SiGe/Si/SiGe het­ero­struc­tures that were ex­per­i­men­tal­ly char­ac­ter­ized. Through tech­ni­cal sup­port and ac­tive ex­change of ideas, we helped bridge the gap be­tween ex­per­i­men­tal mea­sure­ments and phys­ics-based sim­u­la­tion.

This col­lab­o­ra­tion ex­em­pli­fies what we be­lieve TCAD should be: a tool that en­ables cut­ting-edge re­search and fos­ters mean­ing­ful sci­en­tif­ic ex­change. Un­der­stand­ing de­vice be­hav­ior at cryo­gen­ic tem­per­a­tures is crit­i­cal for emerg­ing quan­tum com­put­ing and ad­vanced com­put­ing ar­chi­tec­tures, and we're proud that GTS Frame­work con­tributes to ad­vanc­ing this im­por­tant field.

Short Course by Oskar Baumgartner – March 1st:

A Practical Guide to Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO)

Design-Technology Co-Optimization has emerged as a pivotal driver in shaping state-of-the-art nodes and will gain increasing importance for future technologies. This short course outlines the essential components and aspects of TCAD-to-SPICE DTCO flows, demonstrating how practical implementations combine TCAD and SPICE to achieve quick turnaround times and seamless integration with standard EDA design flows. Relevant applications in technology pathfinding will be demonstrated.

EDTM brings together the electron devices and solid-state circuits communities to address the challenges of scaling, heterogeneous integration, and emerging device technologies. We look forward to engaging discussions with researchers and engineers working at the forefront of semiconductor innovation.
