11th International Workshop on Semiconductor Oxides (IWSO-2025)
Join us at Arizona State University, March 2-6, 2025.
Message from the Chair of IWSO11 (Farida Selim):
The aim of this workshop is to provide a platform for oxide semiconductor researchers from all over the world from academia and industry to present their latest research results, communicate new ideas with colleague’s face to face, and find partners for future collaboration. The workshop will connect the latest research of academia with industry focus and interest. The highlight of the meeting is the latest developments in oxide semiconductors and transparent conducting oxides such as Ga2O3, ZnO, SnO, SrTiO3, etc. and their alloys, covering materials and devices.

Old Main at ASU Tempe campus:
The workshop will take place in ASU’s Old Main building, the oldest building on campus and is also is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Attend Semiconductor School
A semiconductor school will be conducted one day prior to the workshop featuring lectures delivered by eminent scientists from both academia and industry. It will be directed towards beginners and professionals interested in hearing from distinguished experts in the field. IWSO11 will provide the school attendants a certificate for professional development to strengthen your CV!
