Conference Brief

With a history stretching back more than 65 years, the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is the world’s pre-eminent forum for reporting technological breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor and electronic device technology, design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling. IEDM is the flagship conference for nanometer-scale CMOS transistor technology, advanced memory, displays, sensors, MEMS devices, novel quantum and nano-scale devices and phenomenology, optoelectronics, devices for power and energy harvesting, high-speed devices, as well as process technology and device modeling and simulation. The conference scope not only encompasses devices in silicon, compound and organic semiconductors, but also in emerging material systems. IEDM is truly an international conference, with strong representation from speakers from around the globe.

The 8th Electron Devices Technology and Manufacturing Conference (IEEE EDTM 2024) will be held for the first time in India at Bangalore; the Silicon Valley of India and the hub of semiconductor companies. IEEE EDTM 2024 will be a full four-day conference to be held during 03-06 March 2024. IEEE EDTM 2024 aims to be a premier global forum for researchers and engineers from around the world coming to share new discoveries and discuss about any device/manufacturing-related topics, including but not limited to, materials, processes, devices, packaging, modeling, reliability, manufacturing and yield, tools, testing, and any emerging device technologies, as well as workforce training. The theme for IEEE EDTM 2024 is: Strengthening Globalization in Semiconductors.

It is our great pleasure to extend an invitation for you to join us at the 52nd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference on 09-14 June 2024 in Seattle, Washington. We are honored to host this world class event which offers you, once again, an excellent opportunity to absorb, update, and discuss the most recent and relevant developments in photovoltaics.

The fast advances in photovoltaic solar energy are mind blowing! All major future energy transition scenarios forecast a key role for photovoltaic solar energy. Global cumulative installed nominal photovoltaic power has surpassed the 1 Terawatt in 2023 and the realization of an annual global market of 1 Terawatt/year is in sight. More regional supply chains and manufacturing capacity are realized around the world. Currently, the wide variety of companies involved in the sector of photovoltaic solar energy facilitates 4.5 million jobs worldwide and this work-force is growing with >250 000 per year. Companies, institutes and universities carry on improving the performance and reliability of solar cells and modules to levels we could only dream of a decade ago. Many reasons that we can expect the PV sector to blossom in the coming years.

These advances create new priorities like creating circular supply chains, solving grid-integration bottlenecks, improving system reliability, developing cost-effective storage concepts, powering electrical mobility, creation of sustainable financial solutions, introducing effective government policies and creating high quality education and training programs in photovoltaic solar energy.

At the 52nd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference we will be addressing these advances and challenges by offering a diverse technical program divided into eleven areas covering the breadth and depth of PV science, manufacturing, reliability, deployment, policy and sustainability. We will have a slate of exciting keynote, plenary and invited speakers sharing up-to-date research summaries and breakthroughs. Our signature Sunday session will be dedicated to tutorials, for students, entry-level professionals as well as for seasoned PV experts looking to expand their knowledge to new areas. The conference’s Exhibits area will welcome companies to showcase their latest developments in characterization, materials and manufacturing. All of these events will be enhanced by ample opportunities for networking to form new collaborations and friendships as well as renew old acquaintances.
