REPORT


International Conference on Semiconductor and IC Technology To Be Held in China An International Conference on Semiconductor and Integrated Circuit Technology is planned for October 1986 in Beijing, China. The conference is being co-sponsored by the Chinese Institute of Electronics and by the Continuing Education in Engineering, University Extension of the University of California at Berkeley. The technical focus of this international forum will be a broad review of materials and processing issues associated with the fabrication of semiconductor and IC devices. The Beijing location will provide an important opportunity to establish contacts with a large number of Chinese scientists and

technologists. The conference committee includes: Zheng Wenhao (Chinese Institute of Electronics), Yu Zhongyu (Ministry of Electronics Industries, China), Wang Yang Yuan (Peking University), Takuo Sugano (Tokyo University), Michael Strathman (Charles Evans & Associates), Nathan Cheung (University of California, Berkeley), and James Stimmell (National Semiconductor). Papers are expected to address the following topics: lithography, ion implantation, diffusion/ oxidation, Si materials, rapid thermal processing, thin-film deposition, amorphous Si, MOS technology, bipolar technology, IC circuit design, yield/reliability, etching, packaging, process characterization, materials characterization, clean-room technology, electronic-grade chemicals, high-purity water, toxic-materials handling, fab safety

and maintenance, education and training, fab management and superconductor electronics. The conference is scheduled for a sevenday period beginning the week of October 19, 1986. It will feature four days of talks and poster sessions. There will be several plenary sessions devoted to opportunities for cooperation and joint ventures in China. Tours of factories, research institutes, universities, and other sites in the Beijing area will emphasize computer, communication, and IC fabrication facilities. Opportunities for additional interaction will be provided at the factory sites and research laboratories. Contact Continuing Education in Engineering, University Extension, University of California, 2223 Fulton Street, Berkeley, CA 94720.

Vivienne Harwood Mattox Appointed Short Course Manager Vivienne Harwood Maddox has recently ben appointed shortcourse manager of the Materials Research Society Short Course Program to further the Society's goal in providing broader and more comprehensive educational courses. In making the announcement, MRS Vice President Gordon E. Pike remarked, "Vivienne's extensive experience in teaching and management of continuing education in high-technology areas will be extremely valuable to MRS's rapidly growing Short Course Program." Mattox brings to MRS a wide variety of experience in scientific research, teaching, vacuum system design, marketing, and in the development of short course programs. She received a BSc with honors in physics from the University of Exeter, England in 1959. In the early 1960s, she conducted
