[video] Semiconductor industry in Switzerland

75th Anniversary of the Transistor

Semiconductor Industry in Switzerland

A commemorative and networking event was organized by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Chapter of Switzerland at the EPFL Microcity building in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In the first part of the afternoon, we had the honor to host three Distinguished Lecturers:

• Prof. Tom Lee presentation “From Rocks to Chips: Stories of the Transistor” covered the early history of the transistor.
• Dr. Chris Mangelsdorf described circuit design techniques using the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in his talk “Don’t Try This With CMOS!”.
• Prof. Christian Enz concluded this session, describing the development of low power CMOS using the EKV MOSFET model.

This video covers the second part of the event, “From transistor manufacturing in the late 1950’s until today”. It hosted five speakers who were key actors or are still active in the semiconductor sector of Switzerland.
