1. MAM 2008- Workshop devoted to Materials Research, Materials Properties and Interactions, Dresden, Germany, 2-5 March 2008 [...details]
The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for open discussions between science and industrial application. It is dedicated to materials scientists, process and integration engineers.
Topics include both fundamental and applied research, as well as issues related to introduction into manufacturing. With the progressive scaling down of device dimensions and the simultaneous demands for more functionality, the challenges have become tremendous. New and extensive materials research is needed to further follow IC scaling as well as to develop new devices on the nanoscale. Therefore this workshop will focus on material issues in traditional metallization and interconnect schemes, advanced interconnect options and new approaches for nanoelectronics.
Full-length papers will be published in a special issue of Microelectronic Engineering.
