On behalf of the technical program committee, we would like to remind you of the upcoming March 7, 2012 abstract submission deadline for the 70th Device Research Conference, which will be held at the Penn State University from June 18 to 20, 2012. Two page abstracts will be accepted by online submission at the conference web site www.deviceresearchconference.org<http://www.deviceresearchconference.org/>. The Device Research Conference Technical Digest is published by IEEE and is made available online through IEEE Xplore.
For the last seven decades, the Device Research Conference has brought together leading scientists, researchers, and graduate students from varied disciplines in academia and industry to share their latest research and discoveries in the field. The university setting of the conference encourages open technical discussion on recent breakthroughs and advances in device research, and provides a great atmosphere for social events. The technical program consists of invited, oral, and poster presentations. In addition, the conference will hold two evening rump sessions aimed at engaging the audience in vigorous discussions on important challenges and questions facing the device research community. The Device Research Conference has a tradition of strong graduate student participation. This is recognized by offering student travel support and a Best Student Paper Award.
This year the Device Research Conference program will also feature a short course on Steep Switching Slope Devices. This full day tutorial will be offered on Sunday, June 17, 2012. Additional information on the short course will be posted in the near future online at www.deviceresearchconference.org<http://www.deviceresearchconference.org/>.
The Device Research Conference is coordinated with the Electronic Materials Conference to be held during the same week from June 20 to 22, 2012. This recognizes the strong interaction between device and electronic materials research and provides for fruitful exchange of information between attendees of both conferences.
