IEC TC 113 Nanotechnology Standardization for Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems

12 February 2008 SMB Update

Dr. J. Thomas Chapin,

Chair

Dr. Norbert Fabricius,

Secretary

2

Standardization of the technologies relevant to electrical and electronic products and systems in the field of nanotechnology in close cooperation with other IEC committees and ISO TC 229.1. Components / intermediate assemblies created from nano-scaled materials

and processes.

2. Properties and functionalities of these components / intermediate assemblies are electrical or electro-optical.

3. Final products using these components / intermediate assemblies are typically within the scope of other IEC TC's

4. Fields of activities are for example:a) electronics, b) optical aspects addressed by IEC TC’s, c) magnetics and electromagnetics, d) electroacoustics, e) multimedia and telecommunication,f) energy production (direct conversion into electrical power like in fuel cells,

photovoltaic devices, storage of electrical energy).

5. Specific topics: Terminology, measurement, characterization, performance, reliability and safety and environment related to the nanoscale.

JWG 1: "Terminology and Nomenclature" Scope: Define and develop unambiguous and uniform terminology

and nomenclature in the field of nanotechnologies to facilitate communication and to promote common understanding.

JWG 2: "Measurement and Characterization" Scope: Standardization of metrology and test methods and

consideration of reference materials used to characterize properties of mainly materials and structures in the field of nanotechnologies.

WG 3: "Performance assessment" Scope: To develop standards for the assessment of performance,

reliability, and durability related to the nanotechnology-enabled aspects of components and systems in support of continuous improvement at all stages of the value adding chain.

Working Group Structure of IEC TC113

Liaison between IEC TC113 and ISO TC229

Every two years there will be a co-allocated plenary meeting to improve networking between the TC’s.

Chairman and Secretary attend the plenary meetings of the other committee.

Two Joint Working Groups with Convener and Co-Convener from both TC’s.

Regular consultancy of the officers of both TC’s.

Common IEC/ISO standards with coordinated voting are under consideration.

Common workshops will take place (e.g. 26.2.2008 - 28.2.2008, Gaithersburg, NIST USA).

Summary

IEC TC 113 is now active and has held 2 plenary meetings.

IEC TC 113 has established a strategic liaison with ISO TC 229.

Pursuing liaisons with other organizations involved in nanotechnology (SEMI, IEEE).

IEC TC 113 and ISO TC 229 have two Joint Working Groups with parallel activities.

IEC TC 113 WG3 has been established and now working on specific work items.

14

Summary, cont’d.

IEC TC 113 is actively recruiting technical experts for working group activities.

IEC TC 113 developing an international survey on nanotechnology to help guide focus and priority.

IEC TC 113 created and staffed a Chairman’s Advisory Group (CAG) to help facilitate strategic and tactical planning for the TC. CAG composed of IEC TC 113 leadership plus 1 nominated representative from each NC.
