September 14-19,2014, Göttingen, Germany


EDS-2014
The biennial conference series on Extended Defects in Semiconductors started with a meeting in Hünfeld, Germany, in 1978. Subsequent meetings took place in France, Greece, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Russia. EDS-2012 was held in Thessaloniki, Greece.
EDS-2014 targets at bringing together experts on fundamental and applied research on structural defects in current and future semiconducting material systems, their nanostructures and devices.

  • Electronic structure of defects
  • Defect engineering, strain engineering
  • Mechanical properties and dislocation dynamics
  • Role of defects in opto-electronic and magnetic properties
  • Degradation mechanisms in semiconductor devices
  • Atomistic and multiscale simulations, modeling approaches of defects, interfaces and nanostructures
  • Advanced characterisation techniques and methods for the investigation of semiconductor materials, in-situ imaging and analysis
