• Place the paper ref in the google sheet (OK)
• Upload annotated PDF with highlights of presentation focus on MOODLE by Nov 30 (OK)
  
  
• We have ~20 min per group to present their paper and techno details as follows:
  • Group presents a 10 min pitch (see slide guidelines)
    • present the paper's main goal, device and application
    • present the fabrication of the device, e.g. showing the process flow
    • present the specific technique from the course that make the device interesting, unique
    • if possible, show links to the course content, process details, parameter, etc. (litho, pvd, cvd, etching,…)
    • both group members should cover equal part of presentation (5 min each, it can be serial, or intermingled)
  • 1 min discussion and question preparation inside each group of 2
