14th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS-14)
Abstract
The 14th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS-14) is the largest international research conference on nitride semiconductors. The ICNS-14 aims to contribute to the further development and expansion of the research field related to nitride semiconductors by bringing together researchers from all over the world to present their latest research results, deepen discussions, exchange information, and deepen mutual friendship among researchers.Nitride semiconductors are widely known as the basic material forhigh-efficiency blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for white lighting, the subject of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics, and their applications are expanding beyond high-power and high-frequency devices for 5G/6G communication base stations to quantum devices, ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting devices and room temperature single photon light sources, showing extremely high potential as advanced semiconductor materials. In particular, research and development on high-frequency power devices based on nitride semiconductors, which will be at the core of next-generation communications technology, is consistent with the science and technology strategy targeted by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Department of the Navy.The ICNS-14 will cover a wide scope of nitride semiconductor technologies and will attract more than 1,000 researchers from around the world. The Plenary talk sessions by seven world-renowned researchers, including Nobel Prize winner Prof. Hiroshi Amano of Nagoya University, are scheduled, giving participants a bird s-eye view of the state-of-the-art in nitride semiconductor research. The parallel topical sessions will provide opportunities for in-depth discussions via a vigorous program of invited/contributed talks and poster presentations covering the latest research on nitride semiconductors, including material processing, physics, devices, theory, and novel ideas. The technical program of ICNS-14 is designed to enable participants to share and discuss the state-of-the-art in nitride semiconductor research and development, and is organized by the Program Committee, with Professor Jaime A. Freitas Jr. of the Naval Research Laboratory as one of its members. Furthermore, after the conference, the ICNS-14 plans to collect the papers presented at the conference and publish them in the scientific journal,Physica Status Solidi.Expectations for nitride semiconductors are increasing toward the realization of a low-carbon society as wellas an advanced information society, and while many research institutes are conducting research and development. However, many material-specific issues remain to be solved toward achieving higher device performance, and mutual exchange of information among researchers across the boundaries between universities, companies and research institutes including ONR is strongly required. Under these circumstances, it is very important to hold a research conference such as the ICNS-14 covering a wide scope of nitride semiconductors.The ICNS conference has a history of being held biennially (in odd-numbered calendar years) since 1995 with the mission of playing a core-leading role as the largest international conference related to nitride semiconductors. The ICNS-14 conference in 2023 is planned to be held at the Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk in the center of Fukuoka City, an international city in Japan, where many researchersfrom around the world are expected to participate and present high-quality research and discussions. It is greatly expected that the ICNS-14 will provide an opportunity to disseminate the latest research results on nitride semiconductors and to promote research exchange and good collaborative relationships in the future.
