The Brazilian Workshop on Semiconductor Physics (BWSP) is a biennial workshop initiated in 1983 with the goal of gathering the Brazilian semiconductor physics community to a series of lectures on the most important and timely topics in the area.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemics, the 20th BWSP was postponed from 2021 to 2022, and it will be held at the Aeronautics Institute of Technology - ITA, in São José dos Campos, the birthplace of the Brazilian aeronautics industry.
The BWSP is the most traditional event on semiconductor physics in Brazil. The conference will cover a broad range of topics of interest to the semiconductor community:
- Synthesis and processing
- Properties and characterization
- Theory and simulation
- Applications
It will focus on themes ranging from low dimensional systems, topological insulators, two-dimensional materials, wide- and narrow-gap semiconductors, spin manipulation, organic and biological related semiconductors, quantum computing, among other traditional topics in semiconductor physics.
The workshop is aimed at both graduate students and researchers, including three full days of tutorials before the main week. We seek to bring together national and international experts working in the state of the art in semiconductor physics.
