The ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology is publishing a collection of papers on ultra-large-scale integrated circuits vs thin-film transistors reflecting ECS biannual meetings symposia from 2007 to 2027.

Since the end of the 20th century, the two largest sectors of the microelectronics industry have been integrated circuits (ICs) and active-matrix flat-panel displays (AMFPDs). Their success has been driven by advances in semiconductor technology, including an improved understanding of field-effect transistor devices; the development of high-quality semiconductor, dielectric, and conductive materials; and the precise control of large-area, high-throughput fabrication processes. These industries also face many similar challenges, such as continuously improving device performance and reliability, introducing new materials, relentlessly reducing production costs, and expanding into novel applications.

In 2022, ECS divisions and sections provided $106,295 in funding to assist students, postdocs, and early career researchers participate in ECS biannual meetings.

We thank the ECS divisions and sections, as well as our generous donors who supported the biannual meeting travel grant program. Congratulations to the recipients of their support.
