Scenes from ICMOVPE-IX

Sponsored by The Minerals, Metals, & Materials Society (TMS) and the American Association for Crystal Growth, the Ninth International Conference on Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (ICMOVPE-IX), was held May 31 through June 4, 1998, at the Sheraton Grande Torrey Pines Hotel, La Jolla, California.

The conference has built upon the strong tradition of previous conferences of presenting the latest advances in the science, technology, and applications of MOVPE and related growth techniques. The objective is to bring together a wide spectrum of specialists from industry, commerce, academia, and national laboratories to present their most recent progress in the fundamental and applied aspects of MOVPE technology.
