Siegfried Selberherr

Siegfried Selberherr (born August 3, 1955 in Klosterneuburg ) is an Austrian scientist in the field of microelectronics . He is a university professor at the Institute for Microelectronics at the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien), where he primarily researches the modeling and simulation of physical phenomena in microelectronics.

Life

Siegfried Selberherr has been a full professor for software technology in microelectronic systems at the Vienna University of Technology since 1988. He studied electrical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology, graduated in 1978 with a degree in engineering, received his doctorate in technical sciences in 1981 and completed his habilitation in 1984. He was then a visiting scientist at the Bell Laboratories in the USA. Selberherr has been a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Electron Devices Society since 1996. From 1998 to 2005 he was Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Siegfried Selberherr has been a member of the supervisory board of ams AG since 2001 and a member (chair 2008–2013) of the advisory board of the inter-university department for agrobiotechnology ( IFA-Tulln ) since 2001 . During this period, the University and Research Center Tulln (UFT) was founded, which Selberherr has supported since the beginning. The UFT as part of the Technopol Tulln works with several external research institutions and has its research focus in the field of renewable raw materials.

Act

To date, Selberherr and his research teams have published more than 350 articles in journals and books and more than 1000 publications in conference proceedings, 150 of them with invited lectures. In addition, he has written two books and worked on the publication of over 30 works. So far, he has supervised over 100 dissertations.

In his research work, Selberherr developed, among other things, a simulator for metal-oxide-semiconductor components (MINIMOS), in which a mobility model for charge carriers named after him is implemented. Furthermore, he has led numerous research projects with semiconductor companies and funding institutions, such as the Fund for the Promotion of Scientific Research ( FWF ), the Christian Doppler Research Association or the European Research Council ( ERC ).
