ABSTRACT DEADLINE: November 1, 2000.

You are the th guests.

     The First International Workshop on New Group IV(Si-Ge-C) Semiconductors : Control of Properties and Applications to Ultrahigh Speed and Opto-Electronic Devices (SiGeC Workshop) will be held in HOTEL JAL CITY SENDAI, Japan, on January 21-23, 2001.

     Recent rapid progress in Si-based heterostructures has opened up an exciting possibility of the application to ultrahigh speed and opto-electronic devices. Following the success of the International Joint Conference on Si Epitaxy and Heterostructures (IJC-Si) held in 1999, this workshop will continue to promote not only the research in the field of IJC-Si but also the new research project on new group IV semiconductors sponsored by Monbusho.

-  Theoretical and Experimental Aspects on Homo-and Heteroepitaxial growth

-  Growth Mechanisms of Molecular Beam Epitaxy and Chemical Vapor Deposition

-  Formation and Properties of Self-Organized/Quantum-Confined Structures

-  Novel Growth Techniques

-  Electronic and Crystallographic Structures of Surfaces and Interfaces

-  Si-Ge and Si-Ge-C and other Group IV Materials

-  Silicides/Si(Ge, C) Heterostructures

-  Oxides and Nitrides/Si(Ge, C) Heterostructures

-  SiC and Diamond/Si Heterostructures

-  Nanoporous Si, Photo-and Electroluminescence in SiGe and other Group IV Materials

-  Rare Earth Atoms in Si

-  Electronic Device Applications of Si/Ge(C) Systems

-  Optical Device Applications of Si/Ge(C) Systems

-  Si-Based Light Emission and Detection

-  Relaxed Buffers, Compliant Substrates

-  Doping in Group IV Systems

-  Device Technology for Si-based group IV Systems

-  In-situ Characterization  

      ONE ORIGINAL and NINE COPIES of a one-page camera-ready abstract with one-page figures, written in English on white bond paper (A4 size; 2.5cm margin on four sides), should be submitted to the Program Chairman at the following address:

TRANSPORTATION

Sendai

Sendai is located 350 kilometers north of Tokyo on the pacific coast of Japan. Domestic flights to Sendai from Kansai and Nagoya airports are available but not from Narita. The JR Shinkansen Express (bullet train) connects major cities in Japan, and it takes only 2 hours from Tokyo to Sendai. The trip from Narita Airport to Sendai takes around 3.5 hours by Narita Express (a shuttle between the airport and Tokyo) and Shinkansen. From Kansai International Airport, it takes only 80 minutes by air. Sendai International Airport also services six regular international destinations including Hawaii and Hong Kong. From Sendai International Airport to JR Sendai Station West Bus Pool, a public shuttle bus runs frequently. For more details, visit the website of Sendai Convention Bureau: http://v-sendai.comminet.or.jp/~sendaicb/index_e.html

Via New Tokyo International Airport (Narita)

Participants arriving in New Tokyo International Airport (Narita Airport) have the following options for traveling to Sendai via Tokyo. Take either the JR Narita Express Train or a Limousine Bus to Tokyo Station. Narita Express is available at 30 minutes interval and it takes approximately 60 minutes from Narita to Tokyo Station at 2940 yen. Limousine Bus is available every 15 minutes and it takes 80 minutes at 3000 yen. Take the JR Shinkansen Express (bullet train) from Tokyo Station to Sendai. The train is available every 15 minutes and it takes 2 hours at 10,590 yen. See the JR Shinkansen Schedule. Also check the JR East website: http://www.jreast.co.jp/
