The Institute for System Level Integration (iSLI) is pleased to announce the single biggest group of graduating EngD students the iSLI has had to date. Seven Research Engineers (REs) recently graduated with The Engineering Doctorate (EngD), a four year PhD-Level Research Degree funded by the UK Electronics industry and the government-funded Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The graduation ceremony was held at the University of Glasgow. "This is our fifth graduation ceremony, and the growing numbers of graduates reflects the importance UK industry is giving to the Engineering Doctorate degree," commented Sian Williams, EngD Centre Manager at iSLI. "Our graduates have gained many valuable new skills and their graduation brings them a step closer to the end goal of EngD - the creation of senior leadership roles in industry. We look forward to a further five REs completing their research in the near future and joining this prestigious group at Glasgow's next graduation ceremony in December 2007." Graduates and their sponsors include Steven Alexander (EnTegra Ltd), Daniel Denning (Nallatech), Kurian Oommen (Motorola), Angus Nicholson (Cadence), Duncan McLaren (Cadence), Michael Gilroy (A2E) and Oliver Sims (Thales Optronics). Unlike many of their PhD counterparts who may only now be entering the workplace, the research the EngD graduates have completed has already met real business needs and made a recognisable contribution to the performance of the sponsoring companies. iSLI's EngD programme has delivered benefits to many companies, from SMEs to multinationals, and representing a number of different sectors within the electronics industry.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
