The symposium aims to address the new challenges faced by the semiconductor community related to the development of alternative and advanced methodologies to control doping at the nanoscale. The symposium is conceived as a multidisciplinary platform that gathers researchers coming from academia and industry and promotes interactions among scientists and engineers working on all the aspects of semiconductor doping, ranging from fundamental physics and material science to the technological implementation and the final application in functional devices. The call for papers is now open and the deadline for abstract submission is June 6th. If you wan to submit an abstract you can follow this link: abstract submission. For more information about this symposium please contact Michele Perego or Enrico Napolitani that are members of the organizing committee

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

• Fundamental aspects of doping and applications in nanoelectronics, (thermo)photovoltaics, photonics and quantum computing.
• Deterministic doping. Defect and dopant-defect engineering.
• Alternative doping strategies: monolayer doping, epitaxial doping, single ion implantation, STM lithography
• Electrical and optical Hyperdoping.
• Out of equilibrium processes: laser annealing, flash lamp annealing, RF annealing, phase transitions (s/s and l/s), (single) ion implantation, plasma immersion ion implantation.
• Substitutional and proximity doping, defect engineering of 2D semiconductors:
• Simulations of materials, processes, electrical and optical properties related to doping.
• Doping of bulk and nanostructured semiconductors: Si, Ge, diamond, group IV alloys, III-V and II-VI compounds and alloys, 2D semiconductors.
• Characterization techniques and issues related to doping: 3D, structural, chemical, electrical and optical, single atoms, defects, phase separations, layered materials.
