Authors presenting their work at the DRIP XIII Conference are encouraged to submit a manuscript for consideration for publication in the conference proceedings.

Proceedings will appear as a special issue of the Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM).  JEM is a monthly archival technical journal published by TMS and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The journal contains technical papers detailing critical new developments in the electronic materials field, as well as invited and contributed review papers on topics of current interest. Visit the JEM home page for more information.

The deadline for submissions is September 20, 2009.
Only work presented by a submitting author that is not published, in press, or submitted for publication elsewhere, will be considered for publication. All manuscripts will be reviewed. Acceptance of an oral or poster paper for conference presentation does not guarantee its inclusion in the proceedings.

Manuscript Guidelines:
The proceedings will accept manuscripts up to four printed journal pages for contributed presentations, and six printed journal pages for invited talks. This is inclusive of all components of your manuscript, such as, the abstract, text, figures and references. As a rough guideline, three pages of a double-spaced manuscript equal approximately one printed page. Please follow the guidelines for the authors which are available on the JEM website.

Submission Guidelines:
Contributors who have not been published in JEM must register in order to submit a manuscript to the Conference Proceedings. After accessing the JEM web page, select “Submit a Manuscript”. In the upper left corner of the new page, log in as an author by providing a user name and password. After logging in, click “Submit New Manuscript.” On the new screen that appears, select “S.I. DRIP 2009” as the article type. Then, simply follow the remaining directions on the Web site.
