In the same year he founded AdMOS GmbH Advanced Modeling Solutions. AdMOS develops software tools for parameter extraction and provides modeling and measurement services to the semiconductor industry since 1998.
Fadi Zaki

Senior Staff Modeling Engineer at Infineon

Fadi Zaki received his master’s degree in Electronics Engineering from Sorbonne University, Paris, France, in 2013, and his Ph.D. degree in Physics, titled "Characterization, Modeling, and Aging Behavior of GaN Power Devices," from Paris-Saclay University, Paris, France, in 2018. Currently, he is working as a Senior Staff Modeling Engineer at Infineon Technologies AG. His primary focus is on the characterization and modeling of GIT GaN/Si power devices for switching applications.
Thomas Bédécarrats

Research Scientist and Research Engineer at CEA-LETI

Thomas Bédécarrats earned is PhD from Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), in 2019. He is currently research scientist and research engineer at CEA-Leti, being part of the compact modeling team in the simulation and modeling laboratory. Since 2015, his research focuses on FD-SOI technology. He is experienced in device and small circuit design, process integration, electrical characterization and compact modeling, both in industrial and academic contexts (STMicroelectronics, IMEP-LAHC, CEA-LETI). His research applications include neuromorphic computing, silicon spin qubit quantum computing and cryo-CMOS circuit design. Since 2021, he is one of the developers of the standard compact model PSP and L-UTSOI in the CMC. He is the author and co-authors of more than 20 papers and 10 patents.
Patrick SCHEER

Principal engineer Analog & RF modeling at ST Microelectronics

Patrick SCHEER received the engineering degree in electronics and the M.S. degree in optics, optoelectronics and microwaves from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble in 1993. He received the Ph.D. degree in optics and optoelectronics from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace, Toulouse, in 1998. He joined STMicroelectronics in Crolles, France, in 1998 to develop high frequency models for MOS transistors in advanced CMOS technologies. He is now a senior member of technical staff, focusing on semiconductor physics, electrical behavior of active devices, compact modeling in bulk, PD-SOI and FD-SOI technologies, and leading methodologies and tools development for characterization, modeling and QA activities.
Zlatan Stanojevic
