Welcome

A very warm welcome to the 4th joint EUROSOI – ULIS 2018 Conference, here in Granada! This Conference aims at gathering together in an interactive forum all scientists and engineers working in the field of SOI technology and advanced nanoscale devices. One of the key objectives of the conference is to promote collaboration and partnership between different academia, research and industry players in the field. We would also like to bring your attention to the Short Course about RF SOI organized by Incize and SOITEC on March, 18 RFSOI: from basics to practical use of wireless technology.

Call for papers

The organizing committee invites scientists and engineers working in the above fields to actively participate by submitting high quality papers. Original 2-page abstracts with illustrations will be accepted for review in pdf format. The authors of the accepted contributions will be requested to provide a 4-page paper to appear in the conference proceedings, which will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore® digital library. The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a longer version for publication in a special issue of Solid-State Electronics. A best paper award will be attributed to the best paper by the SINANO institute.

Papers in the following areas are solicited:

• Advanced SOI materials and wafers. Physical mechanisms and innovative SOI-like devices
