On 22^nd September 2020, ITMA received 20 delegates from IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Malaysia Chapter from various universities in Malaysia. The purpose of the visit is to give an insight to the members of the various high-end technology tools and equipment in the laboratory. This will also provide the opportunity for the EDS members to explore the current technique and devices and potential collaboration in academic and research.

IEEE EDS members arrived at 10.00 a.m. and welcomed by ITMA Director, Prof. Dr. Mohd Nizar Hamidon, which then gave a brief introduction about UPM and ITMA. The program continued with the IEEE EDS Lecture Series at 10.30 a.m. by Associate Professor Dr. Nafarizal Nayan from Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (UTHM), entitled Magnetron Sputtering Technique for Versatile Thin Film Deposition. A total of 40 participants have joined this interesting talk, which included ITMA researchers, students and IEEE EDS members.

After the talk, the delegates then visited ITMA laboratories such as Functional Devices Laboratory, Analysis Laboratory and Characterization Laboratory to be introduced to various high-end equipment that ITMA has to offer. Since most of the delegates are currently doing research work on electron devices, the introduction and briefing of current research projects in ITMA have been very exciting and created various opportunities for joint collaboration among the researchers.
