Symposium N

Advanced semiconductor and hybrid architectures


Scope of the Symposium

The symposium aims to gather researcher working on semiconductor as well as inorganic-organic hybrid architectures. Whereas classical semiconductor growth, fabrication and device processing builds the fundament of an advanced nanotechnology with broad applications, extensions to the classical planar semiconductor concepts have been proposed and established in the last years. These include the growth of non-planar structures, advanced 2D materials like semiconductor nanomembranes, the use of self-formed 3D nanostructures (nanowires) as well as advanced hybrid systems combining classical inorganic materials with organic semiconductors for a new device generation.

The symposium offers a forum, where these communities can meet and discuss these novel approaches from material growth and characterization, over nanostructure fabrication to complete device architectures.
