BACKGROUND

The 15^th International Seminar on Power Semi­conductors (ISPS 2020) provides a forum for technical discussion in the area of power semiconductor devices and their applications. It is a small conference with the special flair of an atmosphere of searching deeper insight and intensive discussion.

AREAS OF INTEREST

• Power semiconductor devices (materials, physics, modelling, technology, diagnostics)
• Packaging, advanced device applications, reliability

Papers oriented in the field of power semiconductors are supposed to be presented in sessions on

• Device Physics and Technology
• Power Bipolar Devices
• Voltage-Controlled Power Devices
• Wide Bandgap Power Devices
• Power Integration
• Advanced Applications
• Packaging, Reliability & Modelling.

A round table discussion oriented on topical problems of research and education in the field of power semiconductors will be organised in the framework of the seminar.

WORKING LANGUAGE

The working language of the seminar will be English. It will be used in the printed material, presentations, and discussions.

PUBLICATION

Presented papers will be published in the seminar proceedings, which will be distributed at the seminar registration. We are delighted to announce that the best papers presented at the conference will be invited for consideration in a special issue of the IET Power Electronics Journal dedicated to the ISPS 2020 seminar.

VENUE

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, lies on the 50^th northern parallel in the very heart of Europe. It has more than 1,200,000 inhabitants. For a thousand years, Prague has been the seat of Czech kings, emperors and presidents. Prague’s history goes back to the 9^th century. The River Vltava flows through Prague, with 10 islands and 18 bridges within the city. Known as “Mother of Cities” and “Golden Prague”, it has more hills than Rome and over 500 spires.

A count of Prague’s culturally significant buildings comes to more than 2,000; the city has 27 permanent theatres, 16 museums and 130 galleries. As a university town since 1348, Prague has 8 institutes of higher education, where currently almost 55,000 students study at 37 faculties.

The origin of the Czech Technical University dates back to 1707, when the Austrian Emperor Joseph I established the Czech Institute of Engineering Education, reorganized in 1806 as the Prague Polytechnic. Electrical Engineering as an independent course of studies has been taught at the Czech Technical University since the academic year 1884/85. A separate Department of Electrical Engineering was established in 1891/92. The separate Faculty of Electrical Engineering has existed since 1950. It has conferred more than 26,000 Electrical Engineer degrees and 1,500 PhD degrees to students from all over the world.
