DATES AND LOCATION

The Ninth Biennial Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy Workshop (OMVPE), sponsored by the Electronic Materials Committee of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), will be held at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, May 23-27, 1999.

It is now possible to download the entire advance meeting brochure as a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat.

SCOPE

Whether in research or industry, OMVPE is now a leading epitaxial-materials technology. The Ninth OMVPE Workshop follows the tradition begun at Cornell in 1983 and provides a forum for the exchange of recent scientific and technical knowledge. Scientists from industry, academia and government labs are invited to participate by presenting OMVPE related papers. Technical sessions will cover the spectrum from fundamental to applied OMVPE topics. Exchange is an important feature of this workshop. The site and format have been chosen to promote informal interaction and communication.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS

The technical sessions will commence on Monday, May 24, 1999, at 8:30 a.m. All sessions will be held at the Marriott and will consist of morning and evening presentation times. Afternoons will be left open with the exception of Wednesday, when there will be an afternoon poster session. Poster presenters are invited to set up their posters early in the workshop. For more details, you may download the technical program as a PDF file, using Adobe Acrobat.
