Section 1 addresses the most recent developments in processes at the semiconductor-solution interface include etching, oxidation, passivation, film growth, porous semiconductor formation, electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, electroluminescence and photoluminescence processes, electroanalytical measurements and related topics on both elemental and compound semiconductors. Section 2 addresses the most recent developments in compound semiconductors encompassing advanced devices, materials growth, characterization, processing, device fabrication, reliability, and related topics.

This issue of ECS Transactions contain the most recent developments in compound semiconductors encompassing advanced devices, materials growth, characterization, processing, device fabrication, reliability, and other related topics, as well as the most recent developments in processes at the semiconductor/solution interface including etching, oxidation, passivation, film growth, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical processes, electroluminescence, photoluminescence, and other related topics.

This issue contains the proceedings of both invited and contributed talks at the 47th State-Of-The-Art Programs on Compound Semiconductors (SOTAPOCS) symposium, and of the 8th Symposium on Wide Bandgap Semiconductors and Devices. The topics in this issue include some of the latest progress in compound and wide bandgap semiconductor development in fabrication processes, materials, characterization, devices, and reliability.
