Scope:

Research and development for wide bandgap oxide materials and their applications have been increasingly pervasive in many fields such as high-performance thin film transistors (TFTs/TTFTs) or storage devices, renewable energy technologies, various kinds of display devices, and many other optoelectronic applications. In particular, transparent oxide semiconductors (TOSs) and amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) such as indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO) and related materials, have attracted much attention as high-performance channel materials for thin film transistors. Moreover, transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) have also been the key enabling materials for the emerging technologies driving the sophisticated applications needed to realize a “Ubiquitous Society” and a “Universal Design”. These topics will be discussed in a framework of traditional and emerging fields of oxide materials and their device applications including but not limited to: TOSs, AOSs and TCOs for high-performance TFTs/TTFTs, solar cells, displays, lighting, storage, flexible electronics and other transparent electronics.

Topics:

1. Materials for transparent oxide semiconductors

2. Materials for metal nano-network or carbon based transparent contacts

3. Indium-based or Indium-free high performance transparent conducting oxides

4. Theory-based guidance for new materials development and optimization

5. Non-vacuum based deposition and processing of transparent contacts

6. Applications of transparent materials for renewable energy technologies including photocatalyst

7. Applications of transparent materials to new and emerging electronics
