Pan American Advanced Study Institutes (PASI): Materials for Micro- and Nanoelectronics; Renaca, Chile; January 2007

这个由NSF和能源部（DOE）共同支持的泛美高级研究所（PASI）将于2007年1月在智利的Renaca举行，主题是微电子和纳米电子材料。 该研究所由罗格斯大学的Torgny Gustafsson博士组织，将有来自美国和拉丁美洲的大约35名参与者，包括研究生和初级和资深研究人员，以及大约15名教员（国际公认的科学家，活跃在该领域，从美洲六个不同国家选出）。 活动将包括辅导讲座，高级主题演讲，圆桌讨论和海报会议的组合，为参与者提供这一研究领域的最新回顾。 在原子水平上设计和控制材料的能力的发展是决定电子设备未来的主要因素之一。 该研究所的目标是向一群年轻科学家介绍微电子和纳米电子这一快速变化领域的最新发展。广泛的应用和材料将使研究所具有重要的跨学科性质，并应促进新思想的相互交流，以推动这一领域的发展，加强拉丁美洲初级和高级研究人员与美国同行之间的关系。光盘及其可供使用情况将张贴在一个指定的网站上，以便进一步向科学界和广大公众传播。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI), jointly supported by the NSF and Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in Renaca, Chile in January of 2007, on the topic of materials for micro- and nanoelectronics. Organized by Dr. Torgny Gustafsson of Rutgers University, the institute will involve approximately 35 participants from the United States and Latin America including graduate students and junior and established investigators, and about 15 instructors (internationally recognized scientists, active in the field, selected from six different countries in the Americas). The activities will consist of a combination of tutorial lectures, advanced-topic presentations, round table discussions, and poster sessions, with the goal of providing the participants with an up-to-date review of this field of research. The development of an ability to design and control materials at the atomic level is one of the main factors that will determine the future of electronic devices. The goal of this institute is to present to a group of young scientists the very recent developments in this rapidly changing area of micro- and nanoelectronics. The wide range of applications and materials will impart a significant interdisciplinary nature to the Institute, and should foster the cross-fertilization of new ideas to advance the field and, ultimately, increase relations between Latin American junior and senior investigators and their counterparts in the U.S. Materials presented at the Institute will be published on a CD-ROM and its availability will be posted in a designated web site for further dissemination to the scientific community and the public at large.
