02.09.10 Nano and Giga Challenges in Microelectronics -- Moscow

Dear Computational Chemistry List,
 Please, find the latest update on the Nano and Giga Challenges
 in Microelectronics conference in Moscow. It contains a significant
 computational materials science component. The CCL (through its
 coordinator jkl -x- at -x- ccl.net (Jan K Labanowski {:-)}) is also involved
 in organizing other meetings with important computational materials science
 and computational chemistry components. Pointers at:
                 http://www.ccl.net
 CHECK IT OUT!!!
 All the best... Try to stay calm in these trying times...
 And for the participants of ACS -x- at -x- Orlando, welcome back home {:-)}
 (except
 these guys, who stay a little bit longer and enjoy...).

                          Symposium and Summer School on
                   Nano and Giga Challenges in Microelectronics
                       Research and Opportunities in Russia
                          Moscow, September 10-13, 2002

 CONFERENCE BACKGROUND
 =====================
 An essential enabler of the information society -- microelectronics -- is
 a field at the threshold of a new phase. The next stage, involving
 nanometer scale structures, and integration levels including billions of
 transistors, presents a number of unprecedented challenges in their
 practical realization, and requires new materials, new technologies in
 photolithography and semiconductor processing, new devices, and new
 design strategies.
 Russia, with its large intellectual potential, outstanding education
 system, and strong scientific tradition, is in the position to make a
 significant contribution toward solving these challenges. This meeting is
 dedicated to bringing together scientists and engineers from academia,
 industry and national labs to discuss recent achievements and
 collaborative efforts in solving these problems.
 MEETING FORMAT
 ==============
 The scientific program includes a Summer School (first 2 days) and a
 Symposium (last 2 days). The Summer School program consists of tutorial
 (plenary) lectures followed by panel discussions involving both
 participants and speakers. The Symposium includes plenary sections in the
 morning, which are followed by oral presentations and poster sessions in
 the afternoon. Evening sessions will focus on technology trends and
 collaborative discussions.
 TECHNICAL SCOPE
 ===============
 Abstracts are invited in the following areas:
  *  atomic scale design: theory and experiment
  *  fabrication of nanodevices
  *  highest frequency electronics
  *  integrated and subwave optoelectronics
  *  magnetic materials and spintronics
  *  molecular electronics
  *  new materials and processes for future FETs
  *  nanotubes: future wires and other devices
  *  non-silicon materials and devices
  *  predicting global technology trends
  *  quantum effects in devices
  *  system design technologies
  *  tutorials on nanotechnology and nanoelectronics
