The 31st International Conference on Defects in Semiconductors will be an online event from July 26 to July 30, 2021.
About the conference
The conference promotes a fundamental understanding of point and extended defects in semiconductors, including electrical, vibrational, optical, and magnetic phenomena. Unique among international conferences, ICDS covers a range of materials, with defects as the central organizing principle. This approach is extremely fruitful for advancing knowledge of emerging materials such as wide-band-gap semiconductors, doped nanoparticles, and 2D materials, as well as exciting developments in “old” materials such as silicon. With this we hope to continue the ICDS tradition and facilitate stimulating discussions on defects in materials for micro- and optoelectronics, quantum computing, photovoltaics, and other applications.
