In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Transistor, the Instituto de Telecomunicações is organizing a prestigious IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Mini-Colloquium (MQ), in partnership with the IEEE Electron Devices Society and the AP-MTT-EDS Portugal Joint Chapter, on 16th June 2025, from 08:50 to 13:05, at Instituto Superior Técnico, North Tower, EA2 amphitheater.
Held one day after the Mid-Year EDS Governance Meeting, a biennial event traditionally hosted in Europe, this MQ serves as an educational forum to bring together leading voices in microelectronics. The colloquium welcomes EDS members from academia, industry, and a large student audience.
The MQ will highlight state-of-the-art advances across a wide spectrum of semiconductor technologies, from thin-film transistors and organic photovoltaics to GaN HEMTs, high-K CMOS, and Germanium quantum-dot devices.
No registration is required and a complimentary closing lunch will be offered.
Featured Talks Include:
08:50 - 09:00 - Opening
09:00 - 09:30 - Fernando Guarín, IEEE Division 1 Director:
“100th Anniversary of the Transistor and an Overview of the Semiconductor Industry Today”
