GW-FMD 2018

Singapore, January 11-13, 2018

Global Workshop on Functional Materials and Devices

The workshop focuses on novel functional materials and nanostructures in combination with modern devices, as well as on the physics of new devices and sensors, nanostructured materials and nano scaled device characterization. Special attention is paid to fabrication and properties of modern low-power, high-performance, miniaturized, portable sensors in a wide range of applications such as telecommunications, radiation control, biomedical instrumentation and chemical analysis. New approaches exploiting nanotechnologies to pave a way between “More Moore” and “More than Moore” are the enabler for different kinds of sensors and devices which will consume less electrical power, be more portable and totally compatible with modern microelectronics products.

Organizers:

  • Society of Interdisciplinary Research, Singapore
  • Plasma Innovation Labs, Singapore
