The Electronic Materials and Processing Division (EM) focuses on electronic and optoelectronic materials and devices, with recurring sessions on high-k dielectrics, oxides, many families of semiconductors, spin injection, organic thin films, and molecular electronics. We encourage submission of abstracts that discuss the properties, characterization, modeling, growth, and processing of these materials, as well as their use and performance in devices. New sessions for 2007 will highlight complex or multifunctional oxides, power electronics, semiconductor nanostructures for electronics and optoelectronics, and materials/scaling issues for nanoelectronics. The program will also include sessions in a topical conference on energy science and technology. Sessions and invited speakers for the division are listed below.
