The semiconductor industry has seen rapid development in the past few decades. Today you can find the ubiquitous "chip" in applications from computers, solar panels to even the most unexpected uses such as RFID tags, light bulbs and coffee machines.
As part of our Distinguished HKU Alumni Speaker Series, we're excited to invite you to join us for a luncheon with our fellow HKU alumnus and current Stanford University Professor Dr. H.S. Philip Wong who will walk us through the semiconductor development from the early integrated circuits to the modern day chips and its future outlook.
