摘要

Stan Ovshinsky, the man who practically started the field of amorphous semiconductors in the West, is 90 years old this year. He always keeps the enthusiasm of a teenager and the slim and tall figure of a cypress tree. Stan%26apos;s personality actually reminds me of these characteristic trees of the Mediterranean landscape; with their narrow tall figures pointing towards the sky and popping out of any green background surrounding them. Stan feels and behaves as a young man; even at the age of 85, following his old dream for changing the world, he founded a new company. I first met Stan and Iris in 1977. Since then, I have spent several sabbatical leaves in Energy Conversion Devices (ECD), from 1984 to 2004. In the following, our scientific collaboration and the build up of a very deep and sincere friendship will be described.
