The 32nd International Conference on Defects in Semiconductors

This conference promotes a fundamental understanding of point and extended defects in semiconductors, including electrical, vibrational, optical, and magnetic phenomena.
This year, ICDS will facilitate stimulating discussions on defects in materials for micro- and optoelectronics, quantum computing, photovoltaics, and other applications. Unique among international conferences, ICDS covers a range of materials, with defects as the central organizing principle.  This approach is extremely fruitful for advancing knowledge of emerging materials such as wide-band-gap semiconductors, doped nanoparticles, and 2D materials, as well as exciting developments in “old” materials such as silicon.

Materials to be covered include, but are not limited to, group-IV semiconductors and their alloys, III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors, III-nitrides and alloys, organic and magnetic semiconductors, and perovskites.
