About Networking Resource Centre: The University Grants Commission, accepting the recommendation of MHRD task force for basic scientific research in Universities, decided to create a few Networking Resource Centres in the country in areas of Physical, Chemical, Life, Materials and Mathematical Sciences. In the first phase, Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics (INRAPHEL), a Centre of Advanced Study since 1963, has been selected as one such Networking Resource Centre in Physical Science.

The main activity of the centre is to train faculties, researchers and Ph.D. students in the areas of expertise of the centre and also to organize some specialized courses through Summer and Winter Schools. Trainings will also be provided to the M.Sc. /B. Tech/M. Tech. students during the summer and other vacations.
 

Areas to be covered:

Semiconductor Physics: Band structure, Transport, Excess Carriers, MOS capacitors, MOSFETS: Structures, Models, Scaling. Short channel effects, Low power issues, Physical limits. Alternate structures: Strained channel, DG MOSFETs, FINFETs. TCAD: Process and device simulation, Circuit simulation. Nanoscale FETs, MEMS, CNTFETs, Organic semiconductor devices.


Speakers:



Faculties and Scientists from INRAPHEL, IITs, other Universities, and National Laboratories. Seminars by eminent Indian and Foreign visitors will be arranged
 

Who can Apply: Faculties, Ph.D. students and Post Doctoral Fellows in Universities, Engineering Institutions, and PG/UG Colleges in Science. Age limit: 40 years or less.

Prospective participants are encouraged to apply online at www.irpel.org/ugc-network/school or at the course director’ s e-mail address with a CV mentioning background in the area of interest, and a brief statement of motivation to participate in the school. The number of candidates to be selected is limited to 20. Applicants will be selected based on merit, field of research and in order to nurture a well-balanced and diverse group of participants, giving preference to candidates from developing institutions.

Application Deadline: March 10, 2009. List of selected candidates will be put in the website by March 20, 2009. Outstation participants (Maximum 15 No) will be provided TA/DA and fellowship covering the cost of the school, food, and basic shared accommodation in non-ac rooms.
