Ultra-Wide Bandgap Semiconductors (UWBS) is an important class of materials that are used (or envisaged to be used) in a variety of applications, specifically related to the energy and electronics sectors. The present proposal, aims to establish the tradition for UWBS2E at Fall EMRS Meetings, serving as an arena for communicating the newest results in this booming field.

Scope:

Ultra-wide Bandgap Semiconductors (UWBS) exhibit unique properties for their applications in power electronics, RF electronics, deep UV optoelectronics, extreme-environment applications, etc. There is a range of material systems belonging to the UWBS class. In the present symposium, we keep our focus on oxides (e.g. Ga2O3, ZnGa2O4, ZnMgO, AlGa2O4, ect), nitrides (e.g. AlN, high-Al-content AlGaN, boron nitride, etc), even though contributions on other UWBS are welcome too. The goal is to cover full chain of topics: from material elaboration to device fabrication and performance, bringing together two sectors of the UWBS community: material researchers’ and device fabrication/simulation experts. We think that the UWBS community would enthusiastically meet our initiative to create an arena in this field so urgently needed in Europe. The EMRS symposium is an excellent format for this purpose, as we already learned from the success of the UWBS2E at 2022 and 2023Fall EMRS Meeting.
