2001 Electronic Materials Conference: Registration Information

The 43rd Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) sponsored by the Electronic Materials Committee of TMS will be held at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, from Wednesday, June 27 through Friday, June 29, 2001. The conference provides a forum for topics of current interest and significance on the area of preparation and characterization of electronic materials. Individuals actively engaged or interested in electronic materials research and development are encouraged to attend this meeting, and papers in this general subject area are solicited.

The EMC is again being coordinated with the Device Research Conference (DRC) of IEEE, which will be held at the same location, Monday, June 25 through Wednesday, June 27, 2001. This coordination is made in recognition of the strong interaction between electronic materials and device research and should provide for maximum exchange of information between attendees of both conferences.

ON-SITE REGISTRATION

The deadline to register in advance for the meeting has passed. To attend, it is now necessary to register at the meeting site. On-site registration will be located in McKenna Hall and will begin on Tuesday afternoon continuing Wednesday morning through Friday morning during the following hours:

TECHNICAL SESSIONS

The Electronic Materials Conference technical program commences at 8:20 AM on Wednesday, June 27. All sessions are held on grounds of the University of Notre Dame in DeBartolo Hall. The Plenary Session is located in Washington Hall.

CONFERENCE PROGRAM

There are no formal conference proceedings. The conference abstracts will be included in the technical program and published in the July issue of the Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM). We also encourage you to submit manuscripts of your work to JEM.

PUBLICATION OF CONFERENCE PAPERS

There are no formal conference proceedings, but the conference abstracts will be published in the Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM). We also encourage you to submit manuscripts on your work to JEM.

JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS

JEM, a monthly archival publication of TMS and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), was created to serve as the publication of the Electronic Materials Conference. Throughout the year, JEM publishes selected papers presented at the Electronic Materials Conference, and welcomes the submission of related electronic materials articles.

The journal contains technical papers detailing critical new developments in the electronics field, as well as invited and contributed review papers on topics of current interest, designed to enable those in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas vital to their own technical interests.

Articles that appear in JEM are reviewed, selected, and edited by peers in the field who serve as voluntary members of the editorial board or the board of associate editors or as section editors. Generally, they are members of the Electronic Materials Committee of TMS or are members of IEEE.

JEM Subscription Information

The Journal of Electronic Materials acts as a forum for the rapid circulation of the results of original research, enabling those in the electronic materials field to keep abreast of activities peripheral to their own. The journal focuses on electronic memory and logic structures, magnetic-optical recording media, superlattices, packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization technology, superconductors, and low thermal-budget processing and includes general papers on electronic materials for device application, structure making, reliability and yield. Articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, and electronic properties of electronic materials are also included.

JEM subscriptions are available in both print and electronic formats. In addition to receiving on-line access to the current issues of the journal, electronic subscribers have unlimited access to past journal issues with their subscription.

TMS and IEEE members receive significant discounts on JEM subscriptions. See the registration form to subscribe to JEM along with registration fees. Individual issues of the journal may also be purchased through the TMS Document Center for $15 a copy, plus shipping or contact TMS Subscriptions Representative, Mark Cirelli, at the following address.
