ABOUT SSDM 2009

The 2009 International Conference on Solid Sate Devices and Materials (SSDM2009) will be held from October 6, Tuesday, through October 9, Friday, at Sendai Kokusai Hotel, Sendai, Japan. This conference is one of the most important and prestigious international conferences held in Japan. The SSDM has provided a good opportunity to present and discuss key aspects of solid state devices and materials since it started in 1969. From 1999 conference, program sub-committees have been established to further advance the SSDM conference activity. This organizational change has led to higher quality paper selection, which results in a higher level of presentations and discussions in the various potential subject areas. The conference has 10 sub-committees in Core Areas and 4 sub-committees in Strategic Areas, as shown below, which are continuously focused on pointing our the future directions in solid state devices and materials research. In addition to the main conference program, one-day short courses and workshop programs will precede the conference on Tuesday, October 6, which offer tutorial lectures on interesting topics.
