Papers describing significant advances in the state of the art in scientific results and understanding in the workshop issues are solicited. Experimental results or theoretical results addressing experiments are strongly encouraged. Emphasis should be on new fundamental physical and chemical properties and their relationship to the material characteristics where appropriate. Abstracts must contain results to be considered. Papers will be selected on the basis of

(1) originality
(2) significance of results
(3) quality and completeness of the research
(4) breadth of interest

Extended abstracts of all accepted papers will be published in the Book of Extended Abstracts, which will be distributed at the Workshop. Submitted full-length manuscripts, after formal review, will be published in the Journal of Electronic Materials.

1. Abstracts, suitable for publication, should clearly indicate the following:

a. original aspects of research
b. objective and approach of work
c. previous publications or presentations
d. experimental data
e. scientific implications of results

2. One-page abstracts should be double spaced on a single 8 1/2 x 11 in. sheet. One (1) additional page of supporting figures will be accepted and is encouraged. The title, author(s), and affiliation must be included.

3. A complete mailing address (including telephone, fax, and e-mail) of the presenter must be included in the abstract.

4. Abstracts to be considered as student papers must be identified as such, and the name of the advisor must also be included.

5. Abstracts are to be submitted before June 30, 2008 to:
