Overview

Semiconductor research has been a key field in modern science and remains essential for future technological development. Silicon-based electronics are the foundation of much of today’s technology, and advances in semiconductor science and engineering have expanded the field to include a wide range of material systems, such as group-IV semiconductors, III-V and II-VI compounds, group-III nitrides, oxide semiconductors, and emerging low-dimensional and hybrid materials.

 

Progress in this area depends on interaction among researchers working on growth, characterization, property control, device development, performance improvement, and theoretical and computational methods. Since its foundation, the “Sociedad Mexicana de Ciencia y Tecnología de Superficies y Materiales (SMCTSM)” has provided a leading forum for the dissemination, discussion, and exchange of advances in semiconductor research, supported by the active participation of its members.

 

The Semiconductors Symposium brings together researchers, students, and professionals to present recent results, discuss current challenges, and build collaborations across the field. With a renewed vision, the symposium now incorporates emerging interdisciplinary areas that are shaping the future of semiconductor science and technology:
