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

拟议的项目寻求财政支持，以增加学生的参与，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，所有与会者都将远程参加。会议将集中讨论器件的制造、表征、建模和仿真。会议将包括基于新兴材料系统的器件的演讲，如有机和混合半导体、低维材料和超宽间隙半导体。将讨论各种器件的应用，包括生物器件、能量清除器件、自旋电子和磁性器件、存储器件、纳米电子、光电和光子器件、功率器件和量子器件。会议将邀请世界知名的先进器件研究人员作为特邀演讲者，他们的专业知识从设计到制造表征和应用。除技术会谈外，由世界知名专家介绍的一个高度相关主题的短期课程将大大提高会议对与会者的有用性。技术课程将为学生参与者提供接触新材料和设备、其基础物理和工程应用的机会。让下一代研究人员接触这些重要学科，对于保持STEM工作者的技能供应，以应对新兴的商业趋势至关重要。这些信息将通过在线视频演示、可下载的海报和会议记录进行传播。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
