This conference has traditionally been the leading meeting for fundamental materials problems of compound semiconductors of relevance for electronic and optoelectronic devices. In its early years, the conference focused on defect problems in semi-insulating substrates used for device fabrication. Later, following the decision of the International Advisory Committee, the scope of the conference was extended to include other device-relevant issues in compound semi-conductor materials. The conference brings together specialists from various fields, including materials science, solid state physics, and device and process engineering. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss growth, characterization, theory, device applications, and materialsproblems related to semi-conducting and insulating compounds such as GaAs, InP, III-nitrides, II-VI compounds, SiC and SiGe. Participants in the conference will have an opportunity to exchange ideas and to discuss future directions in the development of this expanding field. The conference program will include invited, oral and poster presentations. CONFERENCE TOPICS Growth: Bulk and epitaxial growth (molecular-beam epitaxy and metal-organic chemical vapour deposition), control of stoichiometry, and defect control. Characterization: Electrical and optical evaluation, deep level analysis,structure of point and extended defects, and interface studies. Theory: Heat and mass transport in technological processes, surface and interface states, identification of defects and impurities, and compensation processes. Applications: Electronic and optoelectronic devices, the role of point and extended defects, reliability and processing issues, application of wide-gap materials, aluminium based oxides, and nonstoichiometric III-Vs.
