#VLSI2025 opened yesterday with a series of workshops as key elements of the 2025 Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits program. The topics & scope of the Workshops are merging research & applications not covered in detail in the technical program. vlsisymposium.org/workshop/

#VLSI2025 featured a Special Workshop: "Centennial Anniversary of FET Invention: Past, Present, & Future." The concept of the Field-Effect Transistor dates to 1925, when J. Lilienfeld invented the MESFET (Metal-Semiconductor FET) using a Schottky gate. vlsisymposium.org/special-worksh…

#VLSI2025 The Symposium also featured a satellite workshop in its Sunday & Monday program. The 2025 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW 2025) is focused on silicon-related nanoelectronics to bridge a gap between Si nanotechnology and the VLSI world. annex.jsap.or.jp/snw/index.html
