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 76th anniversary of the DRC--the longest running device research meeting in the world.  As we commemorate this conference, high-caliber technical sessions will be accented by plenary speakers by international leaders to highlight the transformative results that are shaping the modern World.    

The DRC is coordinated with the Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) which is held during the same week. 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 the 76th DRC include:
  • Numerous plenary and invited presentations given by world-wide leaders
  • Highly selective program of contributed papers on electronic/photonic device experiments/simulations
  • 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
  • Happy hour mixer at the Santa Barbara beach
  • 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 California, Santa Barbara in the summer of 2018!
