The symposium consisted of four half-day sessions on topics at the forefront of semiconductor electrochemistry and solution-based processing including etching, patterning, passivation, porosity formation, electrochemical film growth, energy conversion materials, deposition, semiconductor surface functionalization, photoelectrochemical and optical properties, and other related processes. This issue of ECS Transactions contains 18 of the papers presented including invited papers by H. Föll (Christian-Albrechts University Kiel), J. N. Chazalviel (Ecole Polytechnique, CNRS), D. N. Buckley (University of Limerick, and Past President, ECS), J. D. Holmes (University College Cork), E. Chassaing (IRDEP, EDF-CNRS-ENSCP).

The shrinking of integrated circuits (ICs) puts tremendous stress on overall device reliability. This unique treatment uses graphic illustration to clearly identify all major failure mode types, so engineers can spot failures before they occur.

Every 3rd issue is a quarterly cumulation.

Ultra-wide Bandgap Semiconductors (UWBG) covers the most recent progress in UWBG materials, including sections on high-Al-content AlGaN, diamond, B-Ga2O3, and boron nitrides. The coverage of these materials is comprehensive, addressing materials growth, physics properties, doping, device design, fabrication and performance. The most relevant and important applications are covered, including power electronics, RF electronics and DUV optoelectronics. There is also a chapter on novel structures based on UWBG, such as the heterojunctions, the low-dimensional structures, and their devices. This book is ideal for materials scientists and engineers in academia and R&D searching for materials superior to silicon carbide and gallium nitride. - Provides a one-stop resource on the most promising ultra-wide bandgap semiconducting materials, including high-Al-content AlGaN, diamond, ß-Ga2O3, boron nitrides, and low-dimensional materials - Presents comprehensive coverage, from materials growth and properties, to device design, fabrication and performance - Features the most relevant applications, including power electronics, RF electronics and DUV optoelectronics
