1. Introduction
This leaf presents instructions for preparing camera-readyabstracts to be submitted to the 2024 International Conference on Solid State Devices and Materials (SSDM2024). The
set of instructions is given in the style and format to be usedby the authors. Papers to be presented at the Conference will
be selected by each Program Subcommittee on the basis ofsubmitted summaries. The accepted papers will be publishedin the conference proceedings. All the authors of invited papers, regular papers and late news papers are expected to carefully follow the instructions.
A two-page camera-ready paper should be submitted via
the conference web site: https://www.ssdm.jp. Please notethat submissions by post will not be accepted.
2. General Instructions
Contents
Summaries should contain a concise description of theobjectives of the study, method of approach, significant results and conclusions.
Page Format
Submitted abstracts should be camera-ready and in 2pages. Use A4 size paper. Typing area is 178mm×241mm(7”×9.5”). Both text and figures must fit inside this area asindicated by the angles shown at the corners on this page. ForA4 size paper, set the top margin to 30mm (1.18”), the bottom
margin to 25mm (1”), the left margin to 17mm (0.68”) andthe right margin to 16mm (0.64”). The column width is 86mm(3.4”) with a 5mm (0.2”) separation between the two columns.
Text must be typed or printed clearly in English. At thecenter top of the first page, the title of the paper, author
name(s), affiliation(s), address(es), and contact author’s
phone number, and e-mail address should be given. Use capital letters for the initial letter of each word except articles,prepositions and conjunctions. Place a blank line between thetitle and author name(s), and between the address(es) and themain text.
The main text should be typed single-spaced in the twocolumns. The sections should be numbered beginning with “1.
Introduction”. Acknowledgements and References should not

be numbered. Place a blank line between the sections. Subsection headings, if any, should not be numbered. Justify thecolumn at both the right and the left. Don’t forget to checkspelling.
Figures and Tables
An abstract may be furnished with Figures and Tables.
Large figures and tables may span both columns. Photographs
should be high contrast black and white originals. Figure captions should be placed below the figures; table captions above
the tables. Arabic numerals should be used for figures like Fig.
1, and Roman numerals for tables like Table I. Place a blankline between the text and the tables or figures.

Equations
Equations, if any, should appear on a separate line from thetext with a blank space above and below. The equation number should appear in parentheses flush with the right margin,
as shown below for eq. (1). Punctuate equations with commas
or periods when they appear as a part of a sentence like this,dnn
G

Fonts
Use proportional serif fonts such as Times or Times New
Roman. Font styles and sizes as specified in Table I are desirable. To avoid unexpected problems in the reviewing process, fonts for double-byte characters such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc. fonts cannot be used for both figures andtexts.
Color
Because the Extended Abstracts will be published electronically on the conference website, we recommend using
colored images.
References
List and number all the references, if any, at the end of thesummary. The reference style in accordance with the one
found in the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics is recommended. When referring to them in the text, the reference
number should be designated by square brackets like this [1].
3. Conclusions
A typical example of the page style and format for thecamera-ready summaries for SSDM2024 has been given.
Acknowledgements
We would like to express sincere thanks to all the contributors
to the Conference for their cooperation in the Conference program.
