2009 IEEE International SOI Conference Deadline Extended

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED!

The 2009 IEEE International SOI Conference Committee has extended the deadline
for submission of papers to be considered for presentation at the conference to
be held in Silicon Valley, California this October until 29-MAY.

This year's SOI conference will be highlighted by exciting invited talks. Some
of the topics to be covered are Synopsis, Rambus and Freescale on SOI design, on
technology from IBM and IMEC discussing the extendibility of SOI
technology beyond node 22nm to 16nm and 11; Peregrine will discuss RF
applications while Corning will present Silicon on Glass; and Soitec and Leti
will discuss the enabling possibilities of molecular bonding towards 3D
integration and nanotechnology. With the momentum that SOI based technologies is
gaining, the SOI conference is the ideal forum to exchange and network. The SOI
conference is an enriching forum where not only digital and power IC electronics
is discussed but also expands discussion to wafer engineering and circuit
transfer techniques opening up a spectrum of new applications like 3D,
photonics, nano-technologies and devices architectures beyond CMOS.

Submissions should be sent to soipaper@bacminc.com. Further information about
the conference, including an abstract template, can be found on the conference
web site at www.soiconference.org, or you may call the conference manager at
310/305-7885.

OSC'09

The 2008 Organic Semiconductor Conference (OSC-09) will take place in London (UK), from September 28 to 30 2009. The conference will be held at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel. The hotel is conveniently located less than half a mile from Heathrow airport and has excellent road and public transport links to London and the rest of the UK.

OSC-09 includes sessions with presentations by invited speakers plus sessions with peer review papers, a poster session, and also an exhibition of leading organic semiconductor technology companies.

In addition, eight new pre-conference seminars covering a selection of popular topics will be held on Monday 28 September 2009. One seminar stream will be aimed at industry professionals to help them update and extend their knowledge, while a second stream will enable those new to the industry get up to speed. The invited speakers come from both academia and industry.

The Call for Papers will be published very soon. Topics include all aspects related to development, manufacturing and investment in organic semiconductor technologies and organic electronics. Besides, this year the conference will also explore the new opportunities offered by advances in carbon-based electronics.

OSC is not only attended by researchers in organic semiconductors, or organic electronics, but also by chief technology officers, senior technical staff, business leaders, investors, and manufacturers working in this promising field. Therefore, attending OSC there are great opportunities of business in all respects!
