Summary
In summary the lecture was able to brush up and convey all the important milestones of the electronics industry that was driven by the crystalline semiconductor technology. It also raised awareness about how researchers come up together after identification of hurdles in the advancement of a technology, and how the out-of-the-box thinking led to overcoming of such hurdles and propelled the technology further according to its predicted roadmap.

About Guest Lecture
The distinguished talk was delivered by Dr. Parthasarathi Chakrabarti, who was visiting the VFSTR campus as an expert for course content and syllabus reviews for M.Tech in VLSI. The talk gave a broad perspective on how electronics industry revolutionized the world after the advent of devices made from crystalline semiconductors. All the important landmarks were described right from the invention of point contact transistors at Bell Laboratory, by the trio of Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain all the way to the realm of quantum computing and neuromorphic computing, the hot topics of today’s industry and research. Students appreciated all the critical timelines and scientific solutions of the hurdles that came up as the industry continued with the Moore’s law which has reached to atomic levels as of today. This scaling has been possible majorly due to the development of integrated circuit technology by Jack Kilby. Today, the device topology has shifted from planar architecture all the way to 3-dimensional one. The significance of this revolution was also demonstrated by multitude of nobel prizes received in the field.
