2025 Lawrence Symposium
October 13-14
PSF 166 Auditorium (Tempe)
Held every other year and led by Prof. Dr. Seth Ariel Tongay, the Lawrence Symposium on Epitaxy is an interactive, high-level forum bringing together academic researchers, industry leaders, and government scientists to explore the latest advances and future directions in epitaxy, semiconductors, and lab-to-fab integration. The symposium emphasizes the transition of breakthrough academic research into scalable, industry-ready technologies.
Vision and goal
This year’s edition will take place October 13-14, 2025 at Arizona State University, Tempe Campus, PSF 166. The symposium fosters open dialogue between academia and industry, with a focus on pre-competitive technologies that raise the competitiveness of all participants. Talks and discussions are designed to bridge the gap between fundamental research and commercial application, encouraging partnerships and cross-pollination of ideas.
The program spans one and a half days, starting on Monday morning. The scientific agenda features 12 invited talks alongside contributed presentations, with attendance capped at 75 to ensure a highly interactive environment.
Topics of interest
New and emergent semiconductor materials and their deposition via PECVD, CVD, ALD, MOCVD, and other industry-friendly methods
Ultrascaled devices and their integration into advanced systems
Scalable metrology techniques with pathways for industrial adoption
Ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors for next-generation applications
AI-driven approaches for academic–industry integration across manufacturing, deposition, device fabrication, and metrology
