2023 AIP Physics in Industry Day
The Future of Semiconductors
Thursday 2nd November 2023
CSIRO Lindfield
Our Topic in 2023 - The Future of Semiconductors
Semiconductors underpin almost every aspect of our modern lives in some way. Despite more objects around us incorporating semiconductor chips, the number of companies and roles actively developing new semiconductor technologies (in contract to exploiting existing commercially available semiconductor chips) are reducing in many countries. Why is this and what can we do to reinvigorate domestic industry? Does it even matter? Our 2023 Physics in Industry Day will explore the situation in Australia and around the world, hear from Australian innovators and consider what might we do collectively.
In 2023 we continue our enduring partnership with CSIRO to bring you this event, and we are proud to co-organise with the newly launched Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B https://s3b.au)
About the Physics in Industry Day:
The annual Physics in Industry Days has been an initiative to bring together researchers, industry, service providers, decision makers, educators and the general public to connect and learn around a chosen topic - either an industry sector or an area of science with significant industrial or national impact in the future. It is intended to be an informal gathering with interesting and informative speakers pitched at a level to engage with an informed general audience. Hosted at CSIRO at Lindfield, the program for the day builds in time to network as well as engage in a site tour to experience first-hand some of the research and development conducted on site by CSIRO, the National Measurement Institute (NMI) or on of the high-tech companies co-located at the Lindfield Collaboration Hub (LCH).

Advanced Packaging Technologies Usher in a New Era in the Semiconductor Marketplace by Dr David Skellern AO [PRESENTATION] Dr David Skellern is one of Australia’s most successful technology entrepreneurs and a globally recognized researcher and research manager. David worked in radioastronomy for 10 years and taught electronics at Sydney and Macquarie Universities for 16 years before coming to prominence in the IT industry through Radiata, which he co-founded in 1997. Built on joint research conducted by Macquarie University and the CSIRO, the company demonstrated the world’s first chip-set implementation of the IEEE 802.11a High-Speed WLAN standard. In 2001 Radiata was acquired by Cisco Systems Inc., where David was Director of Technology for the Wireless Networking Business Unit until 2004. Dr Skellern joined the Board of National ICT Australia in 2003 and became its Chief Executive Officer in 2005. Dr Skellern was appointed to the Order of Australia in 2010. He is currently the Chair of the RoZetta Institute Board. |
