Symposium: Synthesis and Processing of Organic and Polymeric Materials for Semiconductor Applications, San Francisco, California, April 25-29, 2011

该奖项将为2011年4月25日至29日在加州旧金山举行的2011年材料研究学会（MRS）春季会议上举行的题为“半导体应用中有机和聚合物材料的合成和加工”的研讨会提供部分资金支持。光伏与固态照明用有机材料的合成与加工是有机合成化学、材料科学与工程、半导体物理、器件工程等交叉学科的研究领域。本次研讨会为来自不同学科的科学家和工程师提供了一个理想的机会，分享他们在有机半导体领域的成果和见解，重点介绍了用于光伏发电的有机和功能聚合物材料的新合成和加工方法。更广泛的影响本提案将为口头和海报演讲者提供旅行支助，这些演讲者主要由该领域的新兴工作者组成。特别是，这种支持将为学生与会者提供熟悉最先进的有机半导体技术的机会。鼓励本科生参加海报会议，以使学生在职业生涯的早期阶段接触高水平的研究。

DeVincent Wolf1124679Intellectual MeritThis award will provide funding for the partial support of a symposium titled "Synthesis and Processing of Organic and Polymeric Materials for Semiconductor Applications", to be held at the 2011 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting, Apr. 25-29, 2011, in San Francisco, California. The synthesis and processing of organic materials for photovoltaics and solid-state lighting constitutes a multidisciplinary research area which converges at the interface of synthetic organic chemistry, materials science and engineering, semiconductor physics, and device engineering. This symposium provides an ideal opportunity for scientists and engineers from different disciplines to share their results and insights in the field of organic semiconductors, with a highlight on novel synthesis and processing methods to fabricate organic and functional polymeric materials which applications to photovoltaics. Broader ImpactsThis proposal will provide travel support for oral and poster presenters, who consist mainly of new and emerging workers in the field. In particular, this support will provide an opportunity for student attendees to become familiar with state-of-the-art organic semiconductor technologies. Undergraduate participation in the poster sessions will be encouraged as a means of exposing students to a high level of research at an early stage in their careers.
