Message from the General Chair

For over seven decades, the DRC has brought together leading scientists, researchers, and students to share their latest discoveries in device science, technology and modeling.  This year marks the 75th anniversary of the DRC--the longest running device research meeting in the world.  As we commemorate this semi-sesquicentennial year, the high-caliber technical sessions will be accented by special events and sessions to highlight the transformative results that were first seen at the DRC throughout its rich history.    

The DRC is coordinated with the Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) which is held during the same week from June 28-30, 2017. This recognizes the importance of interaction between device and electronic materials research and provides for fruitful exchange of information between attendees of both conferences.  

Key attractions of this special 75th DRC include:
  • Numerous plenary and invited presentations given by world-wide leaders
  • Highly selective program of contributed papers on electronic/photonic device experiments/simulations
  • Special sessions and events commemorating the 75-year history of the DRC
  • Informative, timely short courses in rapidly developing fields (recently: 2D materials, memory, post-CMOS, compound semiconductors)
  • University setting encourages frank and open technical discussion of recent advances
  • Great atmosphere for social events including lively evening “rump” sessions (e.g. new materials, devices)
  • Strong student participation, including student travel support 
  • Best Student Paper Awards will recognize the best presentation and poster at the meeting
  • DRC attendees may attend any of the Wednesday EMC technical program, including the EMC plenary session

More details on the short course, invited speakers, and special sessions will be announced as they become available. For additional inquiries please contact the conference chairs. 

We hope to see you at the University of Notre Dame in the summer of 2017!
