Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Defects in Semiconductors is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting will focus on identifying, understanding, and then controlling defects in order to use their properties to engineer new semiconductor materials and devices. The role of defects in electronic and optoelectronic devices, quantum information and metrology, and photocatalysis will be explored.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Defects in Semiconductors" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.

Conference Program
