The Ninth Workshop on Semiconductors and Micro-and Nano-Technology (SEMINATEC 2014) was held on 24-25 April 2014 at the University of Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil.The purpose of the annual SEMINATEC is to promote interaction among industry, academy, research and development centers, government, and students who are looking for real opportunities to improve semiconductor and micro-and nanotechnologies research and education.This year, SEMINATEC was organized by the USP with support and funding from the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) South Brazil Chapters, EDS and IEEE UNICAMP's and FEI's Student Chapters, the Integrated Systems Laboratory (USP), and the INCT NAMITEC Science and Technology National Institute.More than 130 participants attended SEMINATEC 2014 from academia, research institutes, and industry.Such a high attendance reflects the enormous success of its organization and indicates the substantial and growing interest over the years.This year, SEMINATEC's two-day intense program was centered around six overview lectures, one of them by an SSCS Distinguished Lecturer (DL), four by EDS DLs, and one from research institutions.The DLs were: 1) "Fully Integrated Millimeter-Wave Imaging in Silicon: Challenges and Opportunities" by Prof.
