DIMES is the world-renowned Delft Institute of Microsystems and Nanoelectronics of the Delft University of Technology. DIMES' Scientific Director Prof. dr. Kees Beenakker will be in Malaysia during the first week of February. Therefore, the Netherlands Embassy and MDBC have the pleasure to invite MDBC members for a presentation by Prof Beenakker:

Wednesday 3 February 2010, 10am - 12nn
The Gateway, The AmpWalk, 218 Jalan Ampang Kuala Lumpur

We expect that Prof Beenakker's presentation will especially be of interest to MDBC members in the ICT and Electronics industries.
The presentation will be free of charge for MDBC members. You may also register your own contacts/guests who are interested in this topic. Kindly register latest by 1 February.

About the presentation:
Historically microelectronics is known for its evolution of the minimal dimensions on the chip, from 100.000 nanometer in the eighties till 50 nanometer now. This trend has resulted in the complex microprocessors having one billion transistors on a squared centimeter and the low cost Gigabit memories of today. At the same time costs of manufacturing facilities have increased from a hundred million Euro in 1980 to 10 billion Euro now. This will result in worldwide only a few advanced CMOS factories manufacturing thousands of transistors per second. At the same time the applications of microelectronics has evolved from data processing and data storage to a manifold of new applications related to health, environment, energy and infrastructure. These applications do not require the most advanced technology, but rather involve high creativity and a multidisciplinary approach, an ideal playground for academic institutions.

In this presentation we shall highlight the unique and strong position of the Dutch industry in microelectronics. The Delft Institute of Microsystems and Nanoelectronics will be introduced as the largest academic research centre in the field in Europe together with its activities in international education and valorization. To strengthen cooperation between Dutch industry and knowledge institutes a new government initiative � Point One � has been established. Finally opportunities for Malaysia will be discussed.

We look forward to your attendance which is free of charge for all MDBC members.
