International Symposium on Single Crystal Diamond and Its Electronic Devices" in Xi’an
On June 12-17, 2015, the "International Symposium on Single Crystal Diamond and Electronic Devices" was held at the Nanyang Hotel of Xi'an Jiaotong University, jointly organized by Xi'an Jiaotong University, Shaanxi Association for Science and Technology, Pan Pacific R&D and Industry Alliance for Single Crystal Diamond and Electronic Devices, China Vacuum Society, Shaanxi Vacuum Society, China Electronics Society, Key Laboratory of Electronic Physics and Devices of the Ministry of Education, and Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Information Photonics Technology. More than 100 experts and scholars from different countries and regions participated in the international seminar. Academician Hou Xun from the School of Telecommunications of our university served as the chairman of this conference, and Professor Wang Hongxing, a specially appointed expert of the National Thousand Talents Program, the Chairman of the Japan Diamond Association, Professor Kawahara Tianyang from Waseda University, and Professor Kozuo Yasuo from the Japan Institute for Material Research (NIMS) jointly served as the executive chairman of the conference. The purpose of this conference is to provide an academic exchange platform for experts, scholars, technicians, and entrepreneurs in the fields of single crystal diamond materials, electronic devices, and diamond single crystal growth equipment, to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation between domestic and foreign peers in the industry, and to jointly promote the vigorous development of the international single crystal diamond materials and electronic device industry and related industries. Through exchanges with experts and scholars from various fields at home and abroad, we aim to understand the latest progress in the research of new ultra wide bandgap semiconductors - single crystal diamond and its electronic devices. This will provide a basis for the development of new experimental methods, theories, and key scientific issues. We will comprehensively promote interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary substantive cooperation based on advanced carbon materials, promote the construction of China's research platform for single crystal diamond semiconductor materials and electronic devices, and work together to promote the progress and development of international research on single crystal diamond and its electronic devices, expand the application and achievement transformation of such advanced electronic materials and devices.
Ultra wide bandgap semiconductor - single crystal diamond integrates excellent characteristics such as electricity, optics, mechanics, acoustics, and thermodynamics. It has extremely important application prospects in high-temperature, high-efficiency, ultra high power millimeter wave electronic devices, power electronic devices, biosensors, optoelectronic detection and imaging, particle detection and imaging, aerospace and other systems, and is known as the "ultimate semiconductor" in the industry. Diamond electronic devices also have the advantages of small size, high integration, and no need for refrigeration compared to other semiconductor devices. In terms of energy conservation and emission reduction, and building a green earth, it will play its unique advantages and trigger a revolution in the new generation of semiconductor technology.
The opening ceremony of the conference was presided over by Professor Wang Hongxing. Academician Hou Xun from Xi'an Jiaotong University and Professor Kawahara Tianyang from Waseda University delivered speeches respectively, hoping that the conference will be successfully held and promote international cooperation and exchange in the field of single crystal diamond and its electronic devices, as well as provide a good opportunity for the development of related industries in China. Professor Yasuo Kozuo, an internationally renowned expert in single crystal diamond and its electronic devices, and a representative of the Japan Institute for Material Research (NIMS), gave a speech on behalf of the guests, focusing on reviewing the development history and important milestone events of single crystal diamond and its electronic devices. He also pointed out the broad application prospects of diamond and its electronic devices in power semiconductor devices, semiconductor integration, micromechanics, optoelectronic detection imaging, particle detection imaging, and biosensing in the future.
This conference was attended by 23 academic presentations from experts in the diamond and vacuum fields at home and abroad, and the attending representatives had lively discussions. Professor Kawahara Tadayo from Waseda University, Professor Yasuo Kozuo from NIMS in Japan, and Professor Zhang Wenjun from City University of Hong Kong reported on the latest research progress of their respective teams; Dr. Bernold Richerzhagen from Synova, Switzerland, reported on the application of wet laser processing technology in the preparation of diamonds and their electronic devices. Professor Wang Hongxing, Director of the Center for Wide bandgap Semiconductor Materials and Devices at our university, introduced the latest research progress in the rapid growth of single crystal diamond, epitaxial growth of single crystal diamond at the electronic device level, diamond based blind ultraviolet detection, and diamond based power electronic devices, which was highly praised by the attending representatives.
