2023 Lawrence Symposium on Epitaxy

Lawrence Symposium on Epitaxy

Held in even-numbered years, the Lawrence Symposium on Epitaxy provides a forum for presentations and discussions of recent developments, critical issues and potential future directions in the investigation of epitaxy. The forum addresses fundamental and practical challenges in materials that are used in advanced photovoltaic, light emitting diode, high power, high speed digital and microwave devices.

We hope to attract university, government and industrial researchers. We will ask our industrial colleagues to focus on pre-competitive technologies and anticipate that their open participation will raise the competitiveness of all participating companies.

Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

• Kinetics and thermodynamics of growth
• Engineered precursors for CVD, MOCVD and MBE synthesis
• State of the art in-situ and ex-situ characterization methods
• Integration of dissimilar materials
• Materials properties and influence on device behavior

Also held in February, each Lawrence Symposium typically lasts three and half days. The program begins with a Sunday evening reception and ends Wednesday at lunch. The scientific program includes 12 invited and additional submitted talks. Participation is limited to 100 attendees to keep it interactive and yet comprehensive.
