DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nCo-Sponsored by the OEB/SCV SSIT Chapter and the SCV/OEB/
 SF EPS Chapter\n\nThe semiconductor era has transformed modern life\, yet\
 , as electronic technologies become increasingly pervasive\, their environ
 mental footprint\, short product lifecycles\, and growing contribution to 
 global e-waste present a critical challenge. In this context\, biodegradab
 le electronics is emerging as a complementary paradigm for specific classe
 s of future devices where transient operation\, material sustainability\, 
 and responsible end-of-life are essential.\nThis talk will examine how bio
 degradable electronics can be positioned within the broader semiconductor 
 ecosystem through innovations in functional materials\, low-temperature pr
 ocessing\, flexible device platforms\, and sustainable integration strateg
 ies. Particular emphasis will be placed on biodegradable and bio-derived s
 ubstrates\, piezoelectric and conductive material systems\, as well as the
 ir relevance to packaging\, sensor platforms\, and distributed electronic 
 applications. The discussion will highlight how principles from semiconduc
 tor science and engineering can be extended beyond the chip toward greener
  system-level design\, including interface materials\, encapsulation\, and
  degradation-aware architectures.\n\nSpeaker(s): Shweta Agarwala\, \n\nVir
