The SISC is a workshop-style conference that provides a forum for device engineers, solid state physicists, and materials scientists to discuss topics of common interest, formally through invited and contributed presentations, and informally during various events including two poster presentation sessions. The SISC is sponsored by the IEEE Electron Device Society, and will be held right after the IEEE IEDM.

The program includes talks and poster presentations (theory and experiment) from all areas of MOS science and technology, including but not limited to:

• SiO₂ and high-k dielectrics on Si and their interfaces
• Insulators on high-mobility and alternative substrates (SiGe, Ge, III-V and III-N, SiC, etc.)
• MOS gate stacks with metal gate electrodes
• Stacked dielectrics for non-volatile memory
• Oxide and interface structure, chemistry, defects, and passivation: theory and experiment
• Electrical characterization, performance and reliability of MOS-based devices
• Surface cleaning technology and impact on dielectrics and interfaces
• Dielectrics on nanowires, nanotubes, and graphene
• Oxide electronics and multiferroics
• Interfaces in photovoltaics, e.g. Si passivation
• 2D materials and devices and their interfaces
• Interfaces in semiconductor lighting and optical communications
• Interfaces and surfaces in biotechnology such as bio-sensing

A Best Student Presentation award will be given in memory of E.H. Nicollian, who made many important contributions to the field and had a strong presence within the SISC.
