The Electronic Materials and Photonics Division (EMPD) encompasses presentations in any aspect of the science and engineering of materials, interfaces, and processing that advance electronic, photonic, and optoelectronic device technologies. Sessions planned for AVS 66 include materials, processes, and devices for advanced logic, memory, and interconnect applications. Methods to enable new device topologies and simplify process flows such as selective area patterning, deposition, and etching will also be highlighted. In honor of our late colleague Prof. Nikolaus Dietz, a long-time EMPD committee member and AVS contributor, we have organized a special session covering the materials growth, characterization, and fabrication of wide and ultra-wide band gap devices. Consistent with the energy theme of AVS 66, we have devoted a session to the electronics and photonics needed to enable renewable energy generation, storage, and transmission. Topics include low-power electronics, power electronics, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. We are also holding a session covering the latest advances in electronic and photonic nanostructure synthesis, assembly, and properties, as well as the techniques required for their characterization on the nanoscale. As in past years, we will offer multiple graduate student poster awards as well as post-doc travel awards to help create a forum in which younger scientists can present their work and develop relationships for the future.
