Overview
Microelectronics and Catalysis account for a high percentage of the annual
GDP in the industrial world. Based on this economical impact, technological
progress is backed by well-established materials science research communities
in both fields which, however, rarely interact. Given the very different
product applications and specifications in Microelectronics and Catalysis,
this situation is at a first glance understandable. However, by closer inspection,
it becomes obvious that materials science R&D work in both industries often
tackles similar solid state physics phenomena to overcome limitations in
modern technologies. To combine the expertise from researchers in the fields
of Microelectronics and Catalysis, it is therefore desirable to overcome
“traditional barriers” between the two research communities. The goal of
the Workshop is to create a stimulating platform for the exchange of physical
concepts, experimental methods and materials science solutions between application-oriented
scientists from the fields of Microelectronics and Catalysis. The first
Exploratory Workshop “Microelectronics meets Catalysis” will focus on innovative
oxide systems with special emphasize – but not exclusively - given to rare
earth oxides.
Let` s come together and make the Workshop a “catalyst” for the exchange
of ideas !
