The 27th Annual IEEE International SOI Conference, the premier conference dedicated to current trends in Silicon-on-Insulator technology, will be held October 2-4, 2001 at the Sheraton Tamarron Resort in Durango, CO. A one-day Tutorial Short Course will precede the conference on October 1.
The SOI Conference was established with the support of IEEE to provide a forum for open discussion in all areas of silicon-on-insulator technologies and their applications. Ever increasing demand and modifications in this technology bring the industry together to discuss new accomplishments and gains. Original papers presenting new developments in the industry will be presented at the conference.
The 2001 SOI International Conference will begin with a half-day plenary session followed by two days of oral sessions, a poster session, and a closing recent news session on Thursday. Session topics will focus on basic materials research, device research, circuit development (special and improved), and applications and uses. The poster session is preceded by short oral presentations by the authors to guide conference participants to topics of specific interest. Rump sessions will be held on Wednesday evening, October 3. These sessions encourage attendees to share their opinions and expertise on the chosen topics of discussion.
Additionally, a materials and equipment exhibition relating to SOI technology will be held concurrently with the conference. Participants will have the opportunity to visit the exhibit area to see what's new in SOI. Overall, the 2001 SOI International Conference offers attendees a broad spectrum of information, opportunities for discussion with one's peers, and is a must for engineers with direct involvement or partial involvement in SOI.
The 2001 SOI Conference seeks papers on a wide range of SOI technology including:
At the conclusion of the Conference, a Best Paper Award will be presented. Abstracts for 2001 SOI Conference needed to be submitted electronically to www.soiconference.org by May 10, 2001. Late news papers with exceptional merit will be considered for the Late News session if submitted on or before August 15, 2001.
Once again, the popular One-Day Tutorial Short Course will be offered preceding the 2001 SOI International Conference. Tutorial Short Course instructors have many years of experience in the field of silicon-on-insulator technology. The course is intended to educate attendees in detail about current trends and issues in the SOI industry. The SOI 2001 Tutorial Short Course will focus on applications and devices, as well as discussions about prospects for future business and how these technologies may be applied. Participants will receive copies of all visual presentations.
The SOI Conference is held annually throughout the United States. This year's conference is being held at the Sheraton Tamarron Hotel in Durango, CO. The conference is guided by an international steering committee and a technical committee comprised of members of the society throughout the world. The 2001 conference is organized by: General Chairperson, Harold Hovel (IBM Corporation); Technical Program Chair, Dimitris Ioannou (George Mason University); Local Arrangements Chairperson, Mike Liu (Honeywell Solid State Electronics Ctr.); Treasurer and Registration Chair, Mike Mendicino (Motorola); Rump and Poster Chair, John Conley (NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory); and Short Course Chair, James Burns (MIT Lincoln Lab).
One of the most popular conference centers in the United States, the Sheraton Tamarron Hotel is located in Durango, in southwestern Colorado. Durango is a year-round meeting and recreational destination right in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Tamarron's 750-acre resort and conference complex combines the best of both worlds: a natural wilderness setting with full service meeting and conference capabilities. Plan to attend 2001 SOI, and take advantage of the opportunity to explore southwestern Colorado before or after the conference. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, explore a goldmine, hike in the San Juan Mountains, or take a rafting trip down the rapids. Whatever the choice, Durango is sure to please as a great conference destination combined with the regal beauty of the San Juan Mountains.
