ICEM'94 Held in Taiwan The 1994 International Conference on Electronic Materials (ICEM'94) was held at the National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan on December 19-21. Over 650 people from 29 countries attended. The presence of 13 scientists and 2 IUMRS representatives from the former Soviet Union and the Baltic States was an unusual feature of this conference since, before the termination of the Cold War, they could rarely attend international scientific gatherings. ICEM is especially grateful to the International Science Foundation (ISF) for sponsoring much of their participation. The plenary session featured keynote speeches by J.W. Mayer and Morris Chang. Mayer's presentation on "Low Power Electronics and Pulsed Laser Processing" provided the means to achieve a new class of electronic systems which would dissipate less than 1% of the power of current systems. Chang's speech on the "Overview of IC Industry Development in Asia-Pacific" outlined factors leading to Korea and Taiwan's success in the development of the semiconductor industry. The 350 papers presented spanned over a wide range of areas at the eight symposia: thin film materials and surface and interface structures, advanced electroceramics and packaging technology, sensor materials, compound semiconducting materials, ULSI materials, high-temperature superconductors, materials technology for display, and recording media. Four students received the IUMRS Graduate Student Awards. The winners were Donald Y.C. Lie (California Institute of Technology, U.S.) for his research on "Irradiation Induced Damage and Strain in Epitaxial Geo.ioSio.9o Grown on Si (100)," Cheng Kuo Lee (University of Tokyo, Japan) for his research on "Sol-Gel Derive PZT Force Sensor for Scanning Force Microscopy," C. Winnie Chu (Simon Fraser University, Canada) for her research on "Solid State Photochemistry of Cr, Mo, W, Organometallic Complexes as Thin Films on Silicon Substrate," and Wei-Der Chang (National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan) for his research on "In Situ Grown Iron Oxide Thin Films as Recording Media."
The post-conference technical tours were a great success for they provided the participants with in-depth understandings of Taiwan's electronic materials and processing developments. Technical Tour A visited high-tech companies within the Science-Based Industrial Park, (the cradle of Taiwan's high-tech industries), namely, the Science-Based Industrial Park Administration Center, Acer Incorporated, Trace Storage Technology Corporation, United Microelectronics Corporation and National Nano Device Laboratory. Technical Tour B visited the Industrial Technology Research Institute (the largest research and development institute in
Taiwan) and its four electronic materials R&D laboratories: Electronics Research and Service Organization, Computer and Communication Research Laboratories, Opto-Electronics and System Laboratories, and Materials Research Laboratories. A total of 50 people participated in the two tours. The attendees found the conference highly successful becaus
