2020 Device Research Conference (DRC), To Be Held Virtually June 21-24, 2020.

拟议的项目寻求资金支持，以增加学生参与并加强第78届设备研究会议(DRC)的技术培训。这是一场虚拟会议，于2020年6月21日至24日举行，所有参与者都将远程加入。会议将集中讨论器件的制造、表征、建模和模拟。会议将包括介绍基于新兴材料系统的设备，如有机和混合半导体、低维材料和超宽带半导体。将讨论各种器件的应用，包括生物器件、能量收集器件、自旋电子器件和磁性器件、存储器件、纳米电子学、光电子学和光子器件、功率器件和量子器件。会议将邀请世界知名的先进设备研究人员作为特邀演讲者，他们的专业知识范围从设计、制造、表征和应用。除了技术讲座外，由世界知名专家就一个高度相关的主题举办的短期课程将极大地提高会议对与会者的有用性。该技术计划将为学生参与者提供接触新材料和设备、他们的基础物理以及他们的工程应用的机会。让下一代研究人员接触这些重要学科，对于保持STEM工人具备应对新出现的商业趋势所需的技能至关重要。这些信息将通过在线视频演示、可下载的海报和会议过程进行传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The proposed project seeks financial support to increase student participation and enhance technical training at the 78th Device Research Conference (DRC). This is a virtual conference, held from June 21 to 24, 2020, and all participants will join remotely. The conference will focus on a fabrication, characterization, modeling, and simulation of devices. The conference will include presentations on devices based on emerging materials systems such as organic and hybrid semiconductors, low-dimensional materials, and ultrawidegap semiconductors. A variety of device applications will be discussed, including biological devices, energy scavenging devices, spintronic and magnetic devices, memory devices, nanoelectronics, optoelectronic and photonic devices, power devices, and quantum devices. The Conference will host world-renowned researchers in advanced devices as invited speakers, whose expertise range from design, to fabrication characterization and applications. In addition to technical talks, a short course on a highly relevant topic presented by renowned world experts will greatly enhance the usefulness of the conference to attendees. The technical program will provide student participants with the opportunity to gain exposure to new materials and devices, their basic physics, and their engineering applications. Exposing the next generation of researchers to these important disciplines is critical to maintain the supply of STEM workers with the skillsets necessary to address emerging commercial trends. The information will be disseminated through online video presentations, downloadable posters and the conference proceedings.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
