PROGRAM
|
The technical program for
BCTM consists of one day of short courses (Sunday Sep. 28) given by noted industry
experts, and two days (Monday and Tuesday, Sep. 29-30) of invited and contributed
technical presentations. The technical sessions are organized according to the
following topics : RF, device physics, process technology, CAD and modeling,
analog design, power devices. In 2003, we will continue a tradition established
in 2001 of having a Conference Banquet on the Monday evening. It will be the
opportunity to taste a special sample of French gastronomy.
On the morning of Tuesday, September 30, there will be a Special Session on
Emerging Technologies.
During the conference there will be an Exhibits area, where vendors of design,
test and measurement equipment, CAD software, modeling software and services,
and other products of interest to BCTM attendees. Come and see the latest and
greatest offerings from these exhibitors.
On the Wednesday following
the conference, there will be a series of technical
tours arranged 
.
These will visit advanced technology industries in the Toulouse area, including
the Airbus Industrie manufacturing line, Motorola, LAAS, and other sites to
be announced.

Workshop
on Compact Modeling for RF/Microwave Applications (click
to visit the website)
A one-day workshop on Compact Modeling for RF/Microwave Applications is planned
on Wednesday, October 1, following BCTM conference.
This workshop will give an excellent opportunity to compact model developers
and circuit designers to get a reasonable picture of the state-of-the-art from
the invited experts in the field and to participate in open discussion sections.
The particular workshop goal will be to recognize the most important directions
for the future development of RF/Microwave compact modeling and to clearly identify
areas that need further resear
