EDS Board of Governors
 
 
 
 
The recent EDS Board of Governors Meeting Series was held at Moller Institute, Churchill College, University of Cambridge. The meeting series included a mini-colloquia, a meeting of chapter officers from Europe and Africa, IEEE Fellows committee, and EDS Executive meetings. The board series concluded with a meeting of the EDS Forum to review and discuss reports and new business presented by all EDS committees. The weekend wasn't all work, as recreational activities were planned for our volunteers to relax and enjoy local venues.

The EDS Mini-Colloquia was held 2 June on the topic, "The transistor turns 75: a forward look to challenges and opportunities."

Presentations were given by IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecturers: Prof. Benjamin Iniguez, Prof. Lluis Marsal, Prof. Arokia Nathan, Prof. Fernando Guarin, Prof. Edmundo A. Gutierrez-D., Prof. Merlyne De Souza, Prof. Samar Saha, Prof. MK Radhakrishnan, Prof. Xiaojun Guo and Prof. Hiroshi Iwai.

IEEE EDS Region 9 Summer School - Design, Characterization, and Fabrication of Sensors and Integrated Circuits
 
 
 
 
A 3-day Workshop at LAEDC
 
 
 
 
 
 

This event is a special session at the LAEDC Conference and serves as a scientific and technological outreach program for young students and the community. Our goal is to expand the activity and engage up to 300 middle and high school students, promoting scientific and technological vocations within the municipality of Puebla.

The program's objective is to raise awareness within the community about the impact of technology and inspire children to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). Additionally, the program offers the opportunity for members of the EDS chapter to visit local schools and interact with students.

In terms of practical activities, we will be utilizing Elenco Snap Circuits® and Green Energy kits, designed to be user-friendly while promoting green energy. Through these kits, students will have hands-on experiences with electronic circuits, delving into the exciting and creative field of electronics. Our ultimate aim is to encourage students to consider electrical and electronic engineering as a potential career path.

Date: 29 June 2023
Time: 9 AM to 1 PM
Location: Arbolada Square, Puebla, Mexico

New EDS Educational Outreach Pilot Program “EveryCircuit”
 
 
Our Society is offering selected members of the most active EDS chapters a new pilot program “EveryCircuit.” It is a circuit simulator that enables building and simulating circuits right on your phone, tablet or browsers. It will animate and show waveforms making it ideal to promote hands-on learning and understanding of how circuits work, check homework and test your designs.

You can join, share and interact with your EDS community to teach electronics to young minds, circuit enthusiasts and future engineers. Learn more and organize EveryCircuit activities for your chapter!

On-site participants of the IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecture with the invited speakers.
On 25 April 2023, the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation and the IEEE EDS Italy Chapter co-organized Marconi Day, a communication-focused event to honor the memory of Guglielmo Marconi on his birthday, and on this occasion also celebrated the 75th anniversary of the invention of the transistor.

EDS Eminent Lecturer Professor Hiroshi Iwai was invited to deliver a talk on the invention of the transistor and the future of nanoelectronics. Professor Alessandro Paccagnella, from the University of Padova, was also invited and gave a very interesting presentation on microelectronics and globalization.

More photos and event details will publish in the July 2023 issue of the EDS Newsletter.

Call for Papers on a Special Topic
 
 

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits
Special Topic on Steep Slope Transistors for Energy-Efficient Computing & More

Guest Editor:
Alan Seabaugh, University of Notre Dame, [email protected]

Editor-in-Chief:
Azad Naeemi, Georgia Institute of Technology, [email protected]

Aims and Scope:
Tunnel field-effect transistors (FETs) and low-subthreshold-swing steep-slope (SS) transistors hold promise to outperform complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology (CMOS) at low voltage and realize more energy-efficient logic for computation. The aim of this special topics issue is to highlight experimental advances and ideas that make SS transistors attractive for integration with CMOS to realize better power-performance logic. Aspirational characteristics for n- and p-type steep transistors can be summarized as follows: drain currents exceeding 200 ∝A/∝m at a supply voltage below 0.4 V, with SS less than 60 mV/decade beginning near 1 ∝A/∝m and spanning more than 4 decades. Papers describing theory and modeling of transistors which can meet and surpass these goals are of interest, as are papers which assess the full design stack from devices to circuits and architecture to applications to identify system bottlenecks and inform technology development for computing, communications, or other applications. Materials approaches are not restricted to silicon CMOS and can be based on any semiconductor technology and incorporate multiferroic or other performance boosters. New approaches based on three-dimensional integration, heterogeneous integration, processing, or insights from manufacturing are also within the scope of this issue to advance understanding and progress in SS transistors.

Topics of Interest:
TFET and other steep slope transistors with path to outperform CMOS at low voltage
  • Experimental progress
  • Theory and modeling
  • Si, III-V, III-N, two-dimensional semiconductors and heterojunctions
  • Multiferroic and other material/device design approaches
  • 3-D integration, heterogeneous integration, processing, manufacturing
  • Full-stack design to inform technology development

Spotlight On EDS Member Sandra Veljkovic
 
 
A message from Sandra,

I wanted to share some good news with you. I am nominated by my mentor Prof. Dr. Danijel Dankovic and Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Nis for the “Female Engineer of the Year,” organized by the Siemens Corporation and Chamber of commerce and industry of Serbia.

The activities in which I participate within the IEEE association have significantly contributed to be among the 10 most inspiring female engineers in Serbia. The main event will be organized on June 20th in Belgrade where one will be chosen, who will be the representative of all ten female engineers. We wanted to express our gratitude to all of you for all the support we have received from you regarding our activities. Thank you all!
