The Electronic Materials and Photonics Division (EM) is soliciting abstracts that will address the latest advancements in materials and devices for computing and sensing, energy conversion, storage, and harvesting. Abstracts that report experimental and theoretical discoveries underpinning the structure-property-synthesis correlations of new materials and their integration into devices are welcome.
EM seeks abstracts on four topical areas:
- Materials and Devices for Advanced Computing and Sensing ( NST, 2D, MS, CA, and TF ) – These sessions will highlight advances in semiconductor materials, processes, and integration, as applied to low-power logic, memory, and high-to-ultrahigh wide bandgap devices. Novel techniques that highlight CMOS + x (x = piezoelectric, ferroelectric, multiferroics, and phase change) integration will be of interest. Manufacturing strategies that enable 2D materials-based devices, new interconnects and BEOL devices are welcome. This theme will be integrated with AP and CPS mini symposiums.
- Materials and Devices for Quantum and Neuromorphic Applications ( QS, NST, 2D, CA, and TF): These sessions will highlight advances in processes and integration of materials to quantum computing and sensing, and neuromorphic and analog computing. Of interest are topics that highlight low-dimensional and topological materials integration into devices and emphasize metrology and characterization techniques that further our understanding of such devices. This theme will be integrated with the QS mini-symposium.
- Material and Devices for Energy Conversion, Storage and Harvesting ( NST, 2D, MS, CA, and TF ): These sessions will highlight the materials, process, and integration challenges of solar cells, batteries, and energy harvesting devices. Novel approaches to engineering light-trapping structures, new absorber materials, and transparent conductors are welcome. Manufacturing challenges in battery electrodes and electrolyte design are of interest. Synthesis and integration of thermoelectrics for thermal management applications are encouraged. This theme will be integrated with the AP mini-symposium.
- Novel Materials and Devices for Electronic and Photonic Applications ( NST, 2D, MS, CA, and TF ): These sessions will highlight the materials and process challenges of electronic and photonic devices that exploit plasmonics, metamaterials, and metasurfaces as platforms for enhanced light-matter interaction. Heterogeneous integration schemes that highlight the interplay of process and device performance are welcome. Topical areas also include the critical role of surfaces, interfaces, and defects that affect the quality and reliability of such devices. This theme will be integrated with the AP mini-symposium.
As in past years, we will offer multiple awards including a graduate student poster and presentation awards as well as post-doc and graduate student travel awards to help create a forum in which younger scientists can present their work and develop relationships for the future. EMPD will continue to host its successful Early Career Professionals (ECP) Session highlighting the work accomplished by ECPs relating to electronic and photonic materials and devices. As such, abstracts from ECPs are highly encouraged.
