The organizers of the upcoming 66th annual IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), the world’s premier forum for technological breakthroughs in semiconductor and electron device technology, have decided to hold the conference virtually this year given the ongoing uncertainties posed by the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.
 
The virtual 2020 IEDM is scheduled for December 12–16, 2020, and both live and recorded sessions will be used to showcase and discuss the world’s best original work in all areas of microelectronics research and development.
 
“The IEDM Executive Committee has decided that in the interest of prioritizing the health and safety of the scientific community, a virtual approach is the best option for this year,” said Dina Triyoso, IEDM 2020 Publicity Chair and Technologist at TEL Technology Center, America, LLC.
