The 78th Device Research Conference Went Virtual!

Given the global health concerns associated with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the Organizing Committee decided to hold the Device Research Conference as an online event.

The dates for the conference were the same as originally planned (Sunday, June 21 – Wednesday, June 24).

As with all DRC editions, we had inspiring plenary and invited talks from world-renowned researchers, exciting new research presented in our contributed oral and poster presentations, a short course (on Sunday, June 21) delivered by domain experts, and an exciting and interactive rump session (on Tuesday, June 23).

For over seven decades, the Device Research Conference (DRC) has brought together leading scientists, researchers and students to share their latest discoveries in device science, technology and modeling. Notably, many of the first public disclosures of key device technologies were made at the DRC. This year marked the 78th anniversary of the DRC—the longest running device research meeting in the world. As we commemorate this meeting, the high-caliber technical sessions were highlighted by plenary talks and invited talks by international research pioneers and leaders behind modern electronic technology.

The 2020 Conference featured:

  • Informative, timely short courses in rapidly developing fields
  • Oral and poster presentations on electronic/photonic device experiments and simulations
  • Plenary and invited presentations given by worldwide leaders
  • Evening “rump” session—Tuesday, June 23
  • Strong student participation and Student Paper Awards
 

Upcoming Conferences

DRC was coordinated with the Electronic Materials Conference (EMC), which was held during the same week, from June 24-26. This recognized the strong interaction between device and electronic materials research and provided fruitful exchange of information between attendees of both Conferences.
