REPORT


taxial fluorides and silicides; developments in fundamental understanding, materials growth, and characterization; and emerging device applications such as monolithic III-V/ Si integration, and high temperature wide bandgap semiconductor technologies. Contributions are solicited in the following and related fields: • Fundamentals of heteroepitaxial growth on Si • Growth and characterization of heteroepitaxial layers on Si III-V and II-VI compounds on Si • Group IV heteroepitaxy (GeSi/Si, SiSn/Si and high temperature wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC/Si) • Epitaxial metals and insulators on Si • Novel devices in heteroepitaxial structures on Si • Monolithic GaAs/Si integration Send abstracts to R.J. Nemanich at the address below. Symposium Organizers: Hong K. Choi Lincoln Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology 244 Wood Street Lexington, MA 02173 (617) 863-5500, Ext. 4457 Robert Hull AT&T Bell Laboratories 600 Mountain Avenue Murray Hill, NJ 07974 (201) 582-3000 Hiroshi Ishiwara Tokyo Institute of Technology 4259 Nagatsuda Yokohama 227, Japan 011-81-45-922-1111, Ext. 2552 Robert J. Nemanich Department of Physics North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695-8202 (919) 737-3225 Symposium B Materials for Controlled-Release Environments This symposium will highlight recent developments in materials for controlledrelease application. It will be interdisciplinary, emphasizing scientific and engineering developments in polymer science, ceramics, and metals that are important in the design of controlled-release systems in pharmaceutics, agriculture, and environmental science. Areas of interest include transdermal and implantable drug delivery systems, pesticide and animal health care products, environmental reclamation, sensors, diagnostics, and lithography. Contributions are solicited in the following areas: • Diffusion in polymers • Biodegradable/bio-erodible polymers

• Swelling of polymers in biological fluids • Transdermals • Ceramic and metal-based controlled release • Bioadhesion and biological surface interactions with materials • Biosensors • Materials effects on protein stability Symposium Organizers: Kristine Knutson Department of Pharmaceutics University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84112 (801) 581-4426 Robert Langer Room 342, Whitaker Health Science Building Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 (617) 253-3107 Ronald A. Siegel School of Pharmacy, 926-S University of California San Francisco, CA 94143 (415) 476-5194 Symposium C Process Diagnostics Materials and process development is often done using the Edisonian approach of varying one process parameter at a time and observing changes in some desired material property. As processes (e.g. microelectronic fabrication) increase dramatically in their complexity, the validity of this method is called into question, particularly in light of new diagnostic techniques which provide a microscopic view of atomic and molecular interactions. This symposium is designed to bring together scientists and engineers who are attempting to ob
