“Semiconductor Membranes” for International Electron Devices & Materials Symposium 2022, IEDMS2022

Dear Colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce that the 27th International Electron Devices and Materials Symposium (IEDMS 2022) will be held at National Chi Nan University, Puli, Nantou, Taiwan, from Oct. 27 to Oct. 28, 2022. This symposium is one of the prestigious conferences in semiconductor materials and devices, which were held successfully every year in Taiwan since more than decades ago. This year, the IEDMS will be hosted by National Chi Nan University and sponsored by The Electronics Devices and Materials Association, Ministry of Science and Technology Taiwan, and Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute.

Membranes in the semiconductor industrial have been proposed for versatile applications such as ion sensing devices, photovoltaic cells, solid-state batteries and water purification systems. Carrier or ion transport mechanisms in semiconductor membranes may dominate the performance of these membrane-based devices. Therefore, membrane fabrication technology is crucial to the efficiency of these semiconductor devices. To gain insight into the membrane quality, material characterizations, electrical measurements, and chemical analysis to monitor the membrane fabrication. The potential applications of semiconductor membranes cover a broad-spectrum of functioning devices including energy conversion, sensors, energy storage devices, water purification filters, etc.

The current Special Issue of Membranes aims to propose state-of-the-art research and future advancement in this area. The Special Issue covers the fabrication of materials, performance of devices, and the theory examination based on Semiconductor Membranes.

Research fields may include (but not limited to) the following: Solid-state batteries, ion-sensitive field effect transistors, extended gate field effect transistors, gas sensors, photodetectors, water purification membranes, and photovoltaic devices. Novel membrane materials and applications, as well as electronic devices, chemical analysis, and medical studies, will also be considered.

We invite attendees of the “IEDMS2022” to submit their high-quality manuscripts to this Special Issue.

In addition, suitable contributions from other interested professionals are also welcome.

We look forward to your participation and contribution.
