10th Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS (SB-MOS) Devices – Ten Years of Hitting the Barrier by Mike Schwarz, Joachim Knoch, Jens Trommer and Laurie Calvet The 10th Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS (SB-MOS) devices was held on August 31 – September 1, 2026, at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. Fittingly for a symposium series devoted to metal–semiconductor junctions, the event took place in the Walter Schottky Haus on the RWTH Aachen campus. It was organized as an IEEE EDS Region 8 event and co-sponsored by RWTH Aachen University, Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), Namlab gGmbH – a TU Dresden company, the german research foundation with the TRR Active-3D, the European Union via the projects Sensoteric and Attoswitch and IEEE EDS. Marking the tenth anniversary of the series under the motto “10 years of hitting the barrier”, the symposium was attended by approximately 45 participants and featured 22 talks organized in four thematic sessions, with contributions from Europe, Asia and the United States. Speakers came mainly from academia and public research institutes, complemented by contributions from industry. As in previous years, the workshop format left ample room for in-depth scientific discussions after the talks as well as during the breaks, the lab tours and the conference dinner.   After a warm welcome and introductory remarks by Prof. Joachim Knoch, head of the Institute of Semiconductor Electronics at RWTH Aachen University and host of this year’s edition, the first day opened with a session dedicated to contacts on two-dimensional materials. Session 1: Metal–2D Materials Devices Junhong Na (Kangwon National University, KR) – “From Schottky Barriers to Negative Capacitance in 2D MoS₂ Transistors” Surajit Sutar (IMEC, BE) – “Understanding and Improving Contacts to 2D Materials for MOSFET Applications” Christoph Stampfer (RWTH Aachen, DE) – “Gate-Tunable Josephson Diodes in Magic-Angle Twisted Bilayer Graphene” Session 2: Schottky-Barrier FET Devices & Technology Antonio Di Bartolomeo (University of Salerno, IT) – “Revisiting Schottky Diodes Using Landauer’s Formalism” Walter Weber (TU Wien, AT) – “SiGe and Ge on SOI Schottky FETs” After lunch, Prof. Joachim Knoch and his team invited the participants to a tour of the laboratories and cleanroom facilities of the Institute of Semiconductor Electronics, giving a first-hand impression of the technology work behind many of the contributions presented at the symposium.

What started as a small meeting of a handful of groups working on Schottky barrier MOSFETs has grown into a regular European forum in which contact-controlled devices, reconfigurable transistors, 2D material contacts, cryogenic electronics and neuromorphic as well as probabilistic computing are discussed side by side. He thanked all speakers, participants, sponsors and organizers for making the tenth edition a success. Dr. Jens Trommer announced that the 11th Symposium on SB-MOS devices will be hosted by NamLab/IFW Dresden in 2027.
