79th Device Research Conference. To Be Held Virtually June 20-23, 2021.

非技术描述：该项目将利用美国国家科学基金会的支持来提高学生的参与度，并在第79届设备研究会议（DRC）上加强技术培训，该会议汇集了来自世界各地的研究人员，分享他们在电子、光电和量子半导体设备领域的最新发现。2021年DRC将于2021年6月20日至23日举行，所有参与者都将远程参加。DRC特别为学生和年轻的研究者参与者提供独特的培训和交流机会，帮助他们在材料科学、半导体技术和设备工程领域发展事业。刚果民主共和国致力于为所有参会者和各级参会者提供更大的多样性和公平性。通过鼓励对电子和光子器件的最新突破和进展进行公开和坦率的讨论，DRC将为代表性不足的少数群体消除障碍，并支持NSF的多元化使命，即“培养多元化的、全球参与的科学、技术、工程和数学人才”。技术描述：2021年的DRC将有来自世界知名研究人员在异质集成，iii -氮化物技术和范德华材料方面的三次全体会议。会议将包括物联网设备、自旋电子设备、存储设备、射频和太赫兹设备、薄膜设备和异构集成等方面的演讲。除了全体会议和口头报告外，2021年DRC还将提供为期半天的“量子计算设备和材料”领域的技术短期课程，由学术界和工业界的知名专家授课。2021年的DRC还将举办一场题为“基于铁电的设备：未来是什么？”的后续会议，让观众就铁电设备的未来展开激烈而开放的讨论。会议计划，包括最后环节和短期课程，将大大提高会议对所有与会者的有用性。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。

Non-Technical Description: This project will use NSF support to increase student participation and enhance technical training at the 79th Device Research Conference (DRC), which brings together researchers from around the world to share their latest findings in the areas of electronic, opto-electronic, and quantum-based semiconductor devices. The 2021 DRC will be held virtually from June 20 to 23, 2021, and all participants will join remotely. The DRC offers unique training and networking opportunities particularly to its student and young investigator attendees, helping them advance their careers in materials science, semiconductor technology, and device engineering. The DRC is committed to fostering greater diversity and equity for all attendees and at all levels. By stimulating an open and frank discussion of recent breakthroughs and advances in electronic and photonic devices, the DRC will remove barriers for underrepresented minority groups and also support the NSF’s Diversity Mission related to “preparing a diverse, globally engaged science, technology, engineering and mathematics workforce.” Technical Description: The 2021 DRC will feature three plenary talks from world-renowned researchers in heterogeneous integration, III-nitride technology, and van der Waals materials. The conference will include presentations on devices for IoT, spintronic devices, memory devices, RF and terahertz devices, thin-film devices, and heterogeneous integration. In addition to plenary talks and oral presentations, the 2021 DRC will offer a half-day technical shortcourse in the area of “Quantum Computing Devices and Materials” taught by prominent experts from academia and industry. The 2021 DRC will also feature a rump session titled “Ferroelectric-based devices: What is the future?” to engage the audience in a vigorous and open discussion on the future of ferroelectric devices. The conference program, including the rump session and the shortcourse, will greatly enhance the usefulness of the conference to all attendees. 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.
