Workshop On

Student Outreach program of Electron Device Society (IEEE) Kolkata section

 organized by

IQAC, A.P.C. College in collaboration with Department of Electronic science, WBSU

Date: 17.12.2018

The seminar focused on the widespread use of MOSFETs in developing faster, lighter, and more affordable devices for technological and societal advancements. Dr. Atanu Kundu, IEEE EDS Secretary, introduced MOSFET basics and discussed its industry dominance for over 60 years, highlighting issues like short channel effects and potential improvements. Dr. Angsuman Sarkar, IEEE EDS Chairman, discussed reducing power consumption using CMOS, FINFET, and Double Gate MOSFET, and introduced the concept of Ultra Thin Body MOSFET. Post-lunch, Dr. Sanatan Chattopadhyay from the University of Calcutta inspired participants to pursue careers in semiconductor research, emphasizing MOSFET's future role in automation. The event concluded with a certificate ceremony led by the Principal and seminar conveners.

The resource persons of the workshop were - Dr. Atanu Kundu, , secretary of IEEE EDS , Dr. Angsuman Sarkar, Chairman of IEEE EDS , Dr. Sanatan Chattopadhyay, University of Calcutta Total number of participants was 56

International Webinar on

Electronic Devices: Past, Present and future

 organized by

IQAC in collaboration with Department of Electronics A.P.C. College

Date: 12.19.2020

Semiconductor devices have been crucial in shaping human civilization, with the concept of the MOSFET dating back nearly 100 years. The application of quantum mechanics and X-ray diffraction to solid-state materials in 1912 propelled semiconductor development, leading to the commercial journey beginning in the 1950s. Over the past 70 years, innovations like BJT, MOSFET, integrated circuits, and LEDs have revolutionized life. This webinar reviewed that progress and future directions. Dr. Sanatan Chattopadhyay covered the evolution of solid-state devices, the rise of Si-based CMOS, and emerging technologies like Spin-based electronics, 2D, 1D, 0-D materials, and flexible electronics. Mrinmoy Dutta, an alumnus, discussed the evolution of data storage and his research on 2D material-based memory devices for neuromorphic computing. The webinar provided a comprehensive overview of the past century's semiconductor developments and potential future devices..
