Kick-off for Semiconductors – X-ray and neutron based characterization of advanced semiconductors


Join us for the theme kick-off on 26-27 February 2026!


When: 26-27 February, 2026

Where: at LINXS (LINXS, The Loop, Rydbergs torg 4, Lund), workshop room on the 3 floor, with digital participation possibility via Zoom.


About

X-ray- and neutron-based characterization offers key possibilities for the characterization of advanced semiconductor materials and devices. With this LINXS theme, we aim to strengthen interaction and collaboration between experts in synchrotron-based material characterization and semiconductor device development, from both academia and industry.

Join us when we kick-off the Theme with this lunch-to-lunch workshop! On-site participation in Lund is strongly encouraged, but there will also be the possibility to join via Zoom.
