The 9th Spanish Conference on Electron Devices brings together the work of both research groups and companies on the field of electronic devices. This edition will take place in February 2013 in Valladolid, carrying on with a series of previous events in Palma (2011), Barcelona (1997), Madrid (1999), Granada (2001), Calella de la Costa (Barcelona, 2003), Tarragona (2005), El Escorial (Madrid, 2007), and Santiago de Compostela (2009).

THE CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE IS TO GATHER THE MOST RECENT ADVANCES IN THE FIELD OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES. IN PARTICULAR:
