2018 Defects in Semiconductors Gordon Research Conference
Abstract
From the development of the transistor to the realization of the Nobel Prize winning light emitting diode, continuing forward to 2-D and spin-controlled electronics, defects in semiconductors have been both necessary and deleterious. The topics discussed at this conference are very relevant to the ONR S&T program on electronic devices because many of the sessions focus on point and extended defects in semiconductors critical to high power generation such as ultra-wide band gap oxides and nitrides. As ONR is aware, the ability to manipulate and control defects is important, particularly as technology heads to ever more efficient devices based on increasingly diverse mechanisms. Detailed understanding of the fundamental physics and chemistry is mandatory for the creation of these new game-changing electronic devices. To address the every expanding and complex issues, the 2018 GRC on Defects in Semiconductors will bring together leading experts from industry, academia, and national laboratories for discussions on defects in novel two-dimensional materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides along with semiconductors relevant to 2-D devices. These will be added to discussions on wide bandgap nitride, oxide, and carbide semiconductors with evolving applications in electronics for power generation and lighting, as well as spintronics and quantum information processing. Since 2014, the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) has been complemented by a highly successful Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) designed by and for graduate students and postdocs. The two-day GRS, which immediately precedes the GRC, acclimates young scientists to the unique style of Gordon Conferences and encourages them to share and present their ideas to their peers. GRS participants are encouraged to attend the subsequent GRC. The Conference and associated student-Seminar will be held at the Colby Sawyer College, New London NH August 19-24, 2018. The meeting Chair, Mary Ellen Zvanut (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and Vice-Chair, Jeffrey McCallum (The University of Melbourne, Australia) are responsible for the technical program. The 2018 Conference on Defects in Semiconductors will continue the tradition of fostering open discussion so that new ideas can foster free flow of ideas, leading to advances in materials for a wide range of technological applications.
