within the Electron Devices Society's field of interest. The field
of interest for EDS is all aspects of the physics, engineering,
theory and phenomena of electron and ion devices such as elemental
and compound semiconductor devices, organic and other emerging
materials based devices, quantum effect devices, optical devices,
displays and imaging devices, photovoltaics, solid-state sensors
and actuators, solid-state power devices, high frequency devices,
micromechanics, tubes and other vacuum devices.
The society is concerned with research, development, design, and
manufacture related to the materials, processing, technology,
and applications of such devices, and the scientific, technical
and other activities that contribute to the advancement of this
field.
